How to Beat Howling Casket

Remove Moon Rage by Inflicting Weakness Break

Honkai Star Rail - Howling Casket Weakness Break

The Howling Casket can enter the Moon Rage state, which increases its SPD and allows them to inflict Terror Grip on your characters.

The Moon Rage state can be dispelled by inflicting Weakness Break on the Howling Casket.

Cleanse Terror Grip by Attacking

The Howling Casket can inflict Terror Grip on the party, putting your characters into a Terrorized state on its next turn. Terrorized characters will be unable to act and take more damage from the Howling Casket.

To avoid this, cleanse Terror Grip by having your affected characters attack the Howling Casket before its next turn.

What's up, it's anonymous, back at it again to say that I struggled again with the TWO howling casket fight in the part where you're following Hanya down through the shackling prison. The team I beat that fight with was a little different. Instead of Natasha I brought Gallagher (heals through attacking = no terror debuff + AOE), instead of Ratio I brought Welt (slows + AOE), instead of Bronya I used Harmony MC (super break + AOE), and instead of Fire MC I used Preservation March (FUA + cleanse).

Nevermind, beat it right after I sent this comment. For those wondering, I'm F2P and I beat it with Natasha, Dr Ratio, Bronya, and Fire MC. The strat that lead to winning had a little bit to do with leveling up my traces and going in with full ultimates and consumables, but also I had previously been relying on debuffing the frightened state and focusing more on healing and shielding rather than attacking the enemy to get rid of it before the debuff is triggered.
