How to Beat The Ascended

Focus on The Ascended

Honkai Star Rail - The Ascended Prana Siphon
The Ascended has high-damaging skills and has a high chance of inflicting Prana-Siphon, which decreases Maximum Recoverable HP by 30%. Focus on taking it down right away to minimize the casualties and preserve your characters' HP.

DPS Characters like Yanqing and Sushang would be a great match against The Ascended! You can also cleanse the Prana-Siphon debuff so your party does not lose Max HP.

Interrupt Rite of Subduing Prana

Honkai Star Rail - The Ascended Rite of Subduing Prana

The Ascended will enter the Japa state when it uses Rite of Subduing Prana. On the Ascended's next turn, it will use Black Prana's Snare which applies Prana-Siphon to all targets. To avoid this, Weakness Break the Ascended while in the Japa state!
