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 5 of the event.
Tales of the Fantastic Scene 5 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 four-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
- Blade
- Blade will once again be your main source of damage, just like in Scene 2. This is thanks to the Stage Effect, which is also the same as in Stage 2. Players will be constantly using Blade's Skill and Empowered Basic ATK to constantly change their HP. This gives the DMG dealt buff a 100% uptime
- Luocha
- Luocha is the best healer when it comes to keeping Blade alive thanks to his reactive heal, as well as his healing field of effect. He also deals Imaginary damage, which will help in breaking the enemy toughness.
- Buffer
- Bronya or Tingyun is ideal here as they both increase the amount of damage that Blade deals. Bronya is good because of her Combat Redeployment, while Tingyun is good for charging up Blade's Ultimate whenever he uses it.
- Flex
- Much like in Scene 2, players can either bring a second buffer or another DPS character. Players can try bringing Yukong or Welt here.
The player should consistently use Blade's Skill, Empowered Basic ATK, and Ultimate to keep changing his HP. The only difference with this Scene is the fact that There's an Aurumaton Gatekeeper. Although he's not really much of a danger thanks to Luocha, his large HP pool could be a problem, as you must defeat him to spawn more enemies. Focus on taking him down when he appears.
