PARALYZED SHADOW (FORM OF THE CELESTIAL) GUIDE IN HSR

By defeating the Paralyzed Shadow – Form of the Celestial  in Honkai Star Rail we will get the Elevated Vestiges, an ascension item necessary for some characters of the Wind element such as Blade .

Throughout this fight we will face two different enemies: the main one will be the “Elevated”, which stands out for producing a lot of Damage over Time by causing Weathering on our allies when attacking us with most of their movements and the secondary ones will be two Disciples of Sanctus Medicus – Ballistarius, who will simply generate a little Lightning Damage.

Apart from the Weathering negative state, the Uplift can also cause another negative state called Prana Extractor, which will remove 30% of max HP. of all your characters and it will not allow them to regenerate above 70% of their life bars while your characters are under its effects, so it is highly recommended to take characters that can remove negative states when using their abilities.

PARALYZED SHADOW LOCATION AND UNLOCK REQUIREMENTS

To have access to the Paralyzed Shadow – Doom Form or any other type of Paralyzed Shadow, we will have to have reached at least level 30 of Pathfinder and have promoted the world to balance level 2.

This Paralyzed Shadow is located on the planet Xianzhou Luofu, we can engage in combat against the Form of the Celestial in the eastern part of the Alchemy Commission .

ATTACK GUIDE

These are all the attacks that the High can perform:

• Black Prana Extraction : This attack removes 30% of max HP. of each character and will prevent you from recovering that amount of HP for the duration of the negative state of this movement; if one of your characters has less than 70% of his HP, he won’t lose any more HP but can only regenerate his HP up to 70%.
• Prayer For Metamorphosis : This is an attack that hits multiple times but chooses its targets randomly to inflict Wind Damage on them. This attack has a high chance to affect its Weathering targets.
• Vulturn’s Guidance : This move attacks in an area, hitting the target and their two adjacent allies for Wind Damage. This move also has a high chance to affect our allies through Weathering.
• Tree Thorns : An attack that deals Wind Damage and only damages a single ally, but has a high chance to affect them with the Weathering debuff.
• Black Prana Domination Rite : This movement only serves to enter the state called Japa, which will allow you to use Black Prana Extraction on your next turn if we don’t create a Weakness Break before it arrives.

This is the only attack that Disciples of Sanctus Medicus – Ballistarius can perform:

• Sharp Crossbow : This attack fires projectiles that will shoot arrows that will bounce, attacking our allies several times randomly to inflict Lightning Damage.

ENEMY WEAKNESSES AND RECOMMENDED CHARACTERS

The Exalted has resistance to Wind Element , but has a weakness against the following elements :

• ice .
• Lightning .
• physical .

While the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus – Ballistarius are vulnerable to these elements:

• ice .
• wind .
• physical .

These are the characters that we recommend the most according to their routes :

• 1 Hunt : To deal a lot of damage to the boss.
  • Sushang : This is a four-star Physical DPS that can come in handy to deal a lot of damage to the High; In addition, this she has abilities in her kit that allow her to act again or advance her actions.
  • Yanqing : It can be one of the best DPS to take against this enemy because all enemies are weak against his element and also, Yanqing is a character that deals quite a lot of damage; the problem is that both the main and secondary enemies have a lot of bouncing attacks and this can cause Yanqing to lose the bonuses from his Talent.
• 1 Destruction/1 Erudition : To cause damage to both the main boss and the enemies that accompany it.
  • Clara : Has a DPS tank roleand can focus the enemy’s attacks on her to protect the integrity of the rest of the group members. In addition, Clara also has an Additional Ability that allows her to have a chance to remove negative effects from her, which will come in handy against Weathering and Prana Extractor.
  • Physical Pathfinder : A character that we all have and that can be great for us to deal damage and create physical Weakness Breaks to the boss enemy.
  • Jing Yuan : Almost all of his abilities hit in an area, so they will be great for defeating the enemies that accompany the Rush while dealing damage to it since these secondary enemies have a lot of stamina.
  • Serval : We can take Serval as an elective to Jing Yuan. Even though she doesn’t have as much damage as him, it’s very easy for her to shock enemies.
  • Arlan : When playing with low HP we don’t care if he is affected by Prana Extractor, but we do have to be very careful that he is affected by Weather, since this Damage Over Time can kill him if he has very low HP.
• 1 Nihility/Harmony : To sabotage the statistics of the enemies and apply detrimental states to them or, on the contrary, a character to provide bonuses to the group.
  • Pela : All the enemies present in this Paralyzed Shadow are vulnerable to the Ice Element, so Pela’s Ultimate Ability will come in handy to damage and lower everyone’s Stamina bar while lowering the DEF of each enemy.
  • Tingyun : It will boost the ATK% of the main DPS by imbuing it with the effect of her Basic Ability and help her recover energy when she activates her Ultimate Ability. In individual turns you can use your Basic Attacks to lower the enemy’s Stamina bar.
  • Silver Wolf : The Basic Ability of this character will allow us to create weaknesses to the enemy that he did not have, thus being able to create a more flexible team. The DEF drop so large that his Ultimate Ability produces and the bugs that he can implant in enemies every time he attacks will also be very useful to us.
• 1 Abundance/Conservation : To survive the battle.
  • Gepard : Being of the Ice Element, it will help us generate Weakness Breaks to any of the enemies present on the field and we will be able to resist the blows of the enemies thanks to the powerful shields it grants when using its Ultimate Ability.
  • Siete de Marzo : In addition to covering the shielder positionand being able to help lower the strength bar of the enemy, the first Additional Ability of Siete de Marzo allows us to eliminate a negative state when using its Basic Ability. This will help us to eliminate the damage caused by Weather or the reduction of max HP. inflicted by the Prana Extractor debuff.
  • Natasha : In addition to occupying the position of healer , Natasha can eliminate the negative effect of Weather or Prana Extractor using her Basic Ability (for this you have to have her first Additional Ability activated) and in the case of not needing healing in a turn, it will also help us to lower the Firmness bar of the High.
  • Luocha : It is another character that can help us to dispel the negative effects produced by the enemy through his Basic Ability and at the same time he can occupy the position of healer in the team.

Equipment Suggestions :

• Yanqing, Physical Pathfinder, Pela, and Gepard.
• Clara, Serval, Pela and Siete de Marzo.
