DoT or Damage over Time is additional damage that is given as an extension of the damage that has been given before.<\/span><\/p>\n
The term DoT is not exclusively used by Honkai Star Rail. Many RPG and battle royale games often use the term DoT as a character attack mechanism.<\/span><\/p>\n
DoT on Honkai Star Rail is the additional damage dealt by the character attacking the enemy's weak point or Weakness.<\/span><\/p>\n
This weakness is an elemental weakness that occurs when a character with a similar element attacks an element that is the enemy's weakness.<\/span><\/p>\n

Every enemy that you have attacked with the enemy's Weakness element will receive damage to that element passively (without you having to apply another attack) at each turn the enemy starts or right after the character attacks.<\/span><\/p>\n
How to find out if the DoT is triggered can be seen from the damage the element marks and the representative color of the element appears at the start of the enemy's turn.<\/span><\/p>\n
Characters can also be hit by DoT from enemy attacks. You can see that under the character's HP bar a representative emblem of the element that gives the DoT and turn will appear.<\/span><\/p>\n
Characters affected by DoT can also be seen in the same way as enemies. You can see that damage will appear along with elemental signs and representative colors along with DMG when the character turns.<\/span><\/p>\n
DoT will usually last 1 turn before you have to re-apply it. However, it can also last more than 1 turn.<\/span><\/p>\n
The most common way is when you get a Special Effect from attacking the enemy's weakness.<\/span><\/p>\n
Special Effect is an additional attack when you attack an enemy with a character that uses the enemy's weak element.<\/span><\/p>\n
Attacking the enemy with the appropriate element will lower the enemy's Toughness Bar faster. An exhausted Toughness Bar will trigger Weakness Break<\/a> from enemies.<\/span><\/p>\n
You need to remember that not all element<\/a> can trigger to produce a Special Effect that may result in a DoT. Elements that can provide Special Effects are:<\/span><\/p>\n
