Castorice Dual DPS
Star Rail - CastoriceCastorice Star Rail - MydeiMydei Star Rail - TribbieTribbie Star Rail - LuochaLuocha

Castorice as a DPS fits perfectly against this boss's mechanics as her constant HP drain can cause the boss to enter its special state quickly.

For added efficiency, she can also be paired with Mydei in a dual DPS team comp that maximizes the HP drain of the whole team.

Mydei Hypercarry Team

Mydei also fills the role of an HP-draining DPS that can output tremendous damage and cause the boss to enter its special state faster. Use Sunday to give extra turns to Mydei, which will help him consume his HP faster.

The Herta DPS Team

Swapping out the HP-draining team for a more traditional Erudition team can work as well.

Jade and Lingsha are able to facilitate HP increases and decreases while The Herta does most of the heavy lifting.

How to Beat Pollux, Netherwing Husk, Ferry of Souls

Build Up Desperate Bubble From Allies Taking Damage

Star Rail - Pollux Desperate Bubble

Take damage or consume the party's HP to accumulate Desperate Bubble which Pollux can use to enter the Fragrance of Death state.

In this state, Pollux can be struck to restore HP to its attacker. Once Pollux is out of the Fragrance of Death state, they will receive a massive amount of damage.

Bring Ample Healing

Pollux has a certain attack that applies an unremovable DoT onto your characters that deal more damage to them the higher their HP is.

While this is non-lethal and can possibly be ignored by characters with HP-drain mechanics, it is still worth investing into bringing strong healers that can negate this as your units can still die to the rest of the boss's attacks.

Pollux, Netherwing Husk, Ferry of Souls Talents and Abilities

Pollux, Netherwing Husk, Ferry of Souls Skills

All Talents and Abilities
To Die in Aromatic Pain (Ability)
Enters the "Fragrance of Death" state and deals massive Quantum "Atrophy DMG" to all target characters. This DMG is "Non-fatal" and inflicts all target characters with "Indulging Slumber." In the second phase and before this unit's next action, its Toughness cannot be reduced, and it is immune to action delay effects caused by targets.
To Stay the Fallen (Ability)
Deals Quantum DMG to one target. This DMG converts to Quantum "Atrophy DMG" against targets with HP above a certain percentage.
To Bury the Slumbered (Ability)
Deals massive Quantum DMG to all targets. The DMG is distributed evenly among all target units. Against targets with HP above a certain percentage, this DMG converts to Quantum "Atrophy DMG"
To Mourn the Departing (Ability)
Deals Quantum "Atrophy DMG" to 3 random targets.
Bitterness Delivers Belated Evil News (Ability)
Causes "The Long Arms of Sorrow" to be enhanced and advances its action, lasting for 3 turns.
Inky Fog of a Near-Death Dream (Talent)
Decreases the initial DMG this unit and "The Long Arms of Sorrow" receive. When targets lose HP, they accumulate "Desperate Bubble." When "Desperate Bubble" reaches the limit, advances this unit's action and enters the "Fragrance of Death" state in its next turn. Under that state, removes this unit's and "The Long Arms of Sorrow"'s DMG reduction state. When "Fragrance of Death" is dispelled, this unit will take DMG and restore targets' HP.
Because I Could Not Stop For Death (Talent)
When "Pollux" or "The Long Arms of Shadow" hits a target with an ability, applies a special Unremovable DoT DMG state to the target. While under this state, the higher the target's HP percentage is, the more DMG they take. This DMG is "Non-fatal."

Take note that this boss has the same set of moves in both Phase 1 and Phase 2.
