Honkai Star Rail is a turn-based roleplaying game from Genshin Impact creator Hoyoverse, which offers a challenging gameplay system where each action can decide the fate of the battle.

Many players encounter battle scenarios starting from the early game, where they must heal their characters. But every battle becomes difficult since there is no on-screen prompt or anything that hints at how you can heal characters.

Seeing that, we prepared a handy guide on healing characters during a battle in Honkai Star Rail.

To heal your characters during battle, you must use the skills of playable characters from The Abundance Path, corresponding to Aeon Yaoshi.

When writing this guide, we have two playable characters, the five-star Lightning element user, Bailu, and the four-star Physical user, Natasha. You can use Bailu's ultimate, Leap of Marsh Drakon, to heal all allies for 10.8%-21.6 of Bailu's Max HP plus 72-171.

Bailu's skill and talent also heal the character and party members, so depending on availability, you can use them during battle.

That being said, currently, using healer units is the only option to heal characters during battle. Unlike Genshin Impact, you cannot use healing items during a battle in Honkai Star Rail.

Can You Use Food Items During Battle In Honkai Star Rail?

No! You cannot use food items during a battle in Honkai Star Rail though you can use them outside of battle. To do that, follow the below steps:

  • Open your Inventory by clicking on the backpack icon.
  • Navigate to the fifth tab from the left with the beaker icon.
  • Select a food item or any other consumable.

And that is how you heal or apply a buff to your characters in Honkai Star Rail.
