The event for Honkai Star Rail Version 1.1‘s first phase, Tales of the Fantastic, is here, so take a look at our guide on how to beat Scene 3 of the event.
Tales of the Fantastic Scene 3 Guide
“The crisis on the Luofu has subsided, and stories of the feats of the Nameless can be heard on every street corner of the Luofu. The storyteller, Mr. Xiyan of Starskiff Haven, seems to be interested in your adventure and wants to retell it in story form…”
Tales of the Fantastic Requirements
Players who want to participate in the event must first finish the Trailblaze Mission “Xianzhou Luofu — A Dragon Gallant, Its Ocean Distant”. The event started on July 21, 2023, and will end on the morning of August 7, 2023. Players who still haven't started or finished the event have a day to wrap things up.
Honkai Star Rail Event Rules:
The enemies in this event will always be two levels lower than your current level cap. Additionally, the event will also allow players to use Trial Units that are at the player's current level cap. A total of six stages are available, with new ones being added depending on the player's progress in the event's story quests.
The goal of each stage, or Scene, is to gather as many points as possible by defeating as many enemies as possible within a certain turn limit. Unlike in the Forgotten Hall, where turns don't pass if you defeat a whole wave before the turn ends, the player's turn will keep going as normal.
Each stage has four reward tiers, each with its own rewards:
- 10,000 points
- 30 Stellar Jades
- 4 Lost Crystals
- 2 Lifeless Blades
- 25,000 points
- 30 Stellar Jades
- 4 Traveler's Guide
- 2 Lifeless Blades
- 40,000 points
- 15 Relic Remains
- 2 Lost Crystals
- 20,000 Credits
- 50,000 points
- 5 Relic Remains
- 20,000 Credits
As mentioned above, each of these stages will allow the player to equip buffs on their Plot Armors. Each stage has different buffs available, so we will be providing a guide on which buffs to get for each stage of Tales of the Fantastic. Each Scene also has a specific stage effect, which should aid the player in defeating as many enemies as possible.

Recommended Team Members
- Serval
- Serval's Skill and Ultimate apply the DoT Shocked on multiple enemies at once. The DoT takes advantage of the Stage effect, as well as the various plot armors, to apply huge amounts of DoT on every enemy.
- Sampo
- Much like Serval, Sampo can apply the DoT Wind Shear to multiple enemies using his skill and basic attacks. Additionally, his Ultimate makes it so that the enemy takes increased damage from DoTs. This makes him the perfect support when it comes to DoT teams.
- Buffer
- A buffer like Bronya or Tingyun will be helpful here, as they can easily increase the DMG dealt by the two attackers. Additionally, Tingyun can help Sampo cast his Ultimate in quick succession using her Ultimate. On the other hand, Bronya can give the two DPS characters extra turns.
- Healer
- A healer is almost mandatory in this stage as the DoTs won't always kill your enemies. Not only that, but both Serval and Sampo are squishy, and will definitely need healing throughout the scene.
The main gameplan here is to keep stacking DoTs. Prioritize using stat points for Serval and Sampo's skill, and using their ultimate whenever possible. Also prioritize killing the Sequence Trotters as they have a chance of applying even more DoTs on enemies.
