The Speed Breakpoint is a gameplay mechanic and a particular threshold value of the SPD attribute in Honkai Star Rail.

Every character in the game comes with a base SPD value that you can increase using Eidolons, Relics, character buffs, and other things.

When you have a higher SPD value, the respective character is able to take more turns before the end of your turn in a combat situation.

Moreover, with a higher SPD value, the characters have short intervals between actions as it directly affects the Action Order.

Now, this is where the Speed Breakpoints come into play. As we mentioned earlier, the Speed Breakpoints are the threshold value of the SPD attribute.

When you get past a Speed Breakpoint, you will start to see noticeable changes in Action Order and other such things.

Increasing the SPD value after reaching the Breakpoint will start showing diminishing returns until and unless you cross another breakpoint value.

Here are the best Speed Breakpoints in Honkai Star Rail:

  • 134
  • 161
  • 172
  • 178
  • 182
  • 185
  • 187

You can even get above 187. But at that point, you will be heavily focusing on the SPD attribute rather than the main attributes like CRIT Rate% CRIT DMG% ATK% or such things.

We do not recommend that, as it is too big of a trade-off just to get some extra turns.
