What is Effect Hit Rate in Honkai Star Rail?

Effect Hit Rate is a stat thatincreases your character’s chances of inflicting debuffs on an enemy. “Debuff” doesn’t just mean stat debuffs in Honkai: Star Rail. They also apply to status effects like Freeze, Shock, and Imprisonment. You can check your character’s Effect Hit Rate by going toDetailsand clickingMore Stats.

Most skills are only able to apply debuffs at a low base chance. You can increase the chances of successfully debuffing enemies by increasing the caster’s Effect Hit Rate.
