Mydei has access to three different versions of his Skill, and their effects are as follows:

• Deaths are Legion, Regrets are None: Mydei sacrifices half of his remaining HP and deals damage to multiple targets based on his Max HP.
• Kingslayer Be King: This version of the Skill consumes a portion of Mydei’s current health bar. He then uses his Max HP to deal AoE Imaginary DMG to opponents.
• Godslayer Be God: Mydei consumes Charge points to deal massive Imaginary DMG scaling on his Max HP. This attack also hits multiple targets.

If Mydei has insufficient HP, using the "Deaths are Legion, Regrets are None" and "Kingslayer Be King" will set his current health to 1.

Ultimate

Mydei’s Ultimate ability in HSR is called Throne of Bones. It restores a portion of his Max HP and accumulates 20 Charge points. The ability also inflicts Imaginary DMG on an enemy and adjacent targets, scaling on the character’s Max HP. Moreover, Mydei will Taunt the opponents for a couple of turns.

The next activation of the "Godslayer Be God" Skill will prioritize attacking a designated enemy. The effect will only trigger on the latest target.

Talent

Thanks to his Talent, Blood for Blood, when Mydei loses HP from any source, he accumulates a Charge point. He can consume 100 points to enter the Vendetta state, restoring a portion of his HP in the process. Vendetta further advances Mydei’s turn and increases his Max HP.

While in the special state, the character will automatically use “Kingslayer Be King” at the beginning of his turn. Mydei will auto-launch the “Godslayer Be God” ability when his Charge reaches 150 points. Moreover, he cannot be knocked down by a killing blow; it will only end the Vendetta state and restore 50% of his HP.

Technique

Using his Technique, Cage of Broken Lance, Mydei pulls in enemies and inflicts Daze on the targets, preventing them from attacking allies. He can then ambush the enemy to commence battle, and the opponents will receive Imaginary DMG at the beginning. At the same time, Mydei will Taunt them and gain some Charge points.

How to optimally play Mydei in Honkai Star Rail

Mydei is an HP-scaling Destruction character in Honkai Star Rail, who has the ability to launch follow-up attacks (his primary source of damage). Hence, you might want to take consecutive turns to quickly access the Vendetta state when using him. Here are some general tips to play Mydei optimally:

• Initiate fights with Mydei’s Skill, as it consumes HP. The percentage of health lost will get converted into Charge points.
• Use a support like Sunday to advance Mydei’s actions forward, allowing him to take turns instantaneously. Use the Skill again to accumulate more Charge points.
• When Mydei accumulates 100 Charge points, he will recover some HP and enter the enhanced state. Upon doing so, he can take another turn to automatically activate his Kingslayer Be King Skill.
• While he can resist getting knocked down while in Vendetta state, consider healing him every now and then to keep accumulating more Charges.
• At 150 Charge points, he will unleash the Godslayer Be God Skill, dealing massive Imaginary DMG to his opponents.
• Mydei’s gameplay is basically auto-combat, so all you can do is manage his HP and use his Skill and Ultimate whenever necessary.
