How to Beat Day 8 Supergiant Star

Use Ultimates to Inflict DoTs

Honkai Star Rail - Plague of Misfortune Day 8 - Use Ultimates to Inflict DoTs

In Day 8, enemies have a high chance of receiving debuffs that inflict DoT DMG whenever your allies attack with their Ultimate. You'll want to use your Ultimates as much as possible so you can stack up a lot of DoTs on enemies.

Focus Attacks on Elite Enemies

Honkai Star Rail - Plague of Misfortune Day 8 - Focus Attacks on Elite Enemies

Certain Elite enemies during this stage will summon mobs. You don't need to prioritize taking them down since their attacks will also regenerate Energy for whoever they attack. Keep your attacks centered on the Elite enemies.

Let Yanqing's Flying Swords Attack

Honkai Star Rail - Plague of Misfortune Day 8 - Let Yanqing

When Yanqing summons his Flying Swords, allow them to attack your team before unleashing any Ultimates that are at full energy. This offers more chances of them attacking other allies and helping them recover some Energy first!
