In the guide, we will examine in detail how to defeat Huley in HSR: we will consider all the boss's attacks and effective combat tactics, and we will additionally show the combinations of characters in squads to create the best team.

Huley Boss Vulnerabilities and Resistances

The Borisin leader, Huley, serves as a plot monster for the quest chain. "Duel under the azure sky 2". The escapee from the House of Shackles is the leader of the pack, as a result, he fights together with his minions in battle. Alone, this boss is still a serious threat due to the accumulation of rage stacks and powerful attacks, both on single targets and on a group of characters.

In addition to the story campaign, Huley can be one of the possible opponents in other game modes, such as, "The Divergent Universe: The Comedy of Life".

Let's list the vulnerabilities and resistances that the Borisintsy Leader has:

Huley Boss Attacks

In battle, the Borisinian Chieftain relies primarily on attack skills, summoning other wolves, and bonuses applied to himself.

1 phase

The first phase of the Borisin Chieftain Hulei includes almost all of his skills and is not much different from the other. In both halves, the most important mechanic is the Lunar Beast status, in which the wolf becomes more powerful.

• Broken swords instead of fangs - raises his sword and hits one hero with an electric element.
• Chopped iron instead of claws - Releases three shock waves, the central one of which deals electrical damage to the target he selects, and the other two hit its neighbors.
• Destruction of the roaring storms - jumps up and thrusts his sword into the ground, then hits all characters with electric damage.
• Lunar brutality of the leader - a ive talent, thanks to which with each blow all Borisins on the battlefield accumulate 1 level status Bloodlust. Once it reaches a certain number (usually 6), the werewolves enter the Lunar Beast state. The countdown to exiting it is shown on the action bar by an icon of a wolf's face turned to the right.
• The flock obeys my roar - appears on the progress bar Call of the Pack (icon with a wolf's muzzle turned to the left), with the onset of which the Blackclaw Wolf or Moon Devourer Wolf enters the arena. If the creatures are in the Lunar Ferocity state, this action is delayed.

2 phase

The second phase of the Borisin Chieftain is almost completely the same as the first, with the exception of one additional skill:

• The sterility of the earth's cracks - roars and deals low electrical damage to the group and delays the moves of all characters.

The second half includes all of Hulei's other attacks (Broken Swords for Fangs, Chopped Iron for Claws, Roaring Storms' Destruction), his ive abilities (Moonbringer's Beastly Rage, The Pack Obeys My Roar), and his ability to transition to the Moonbringer state.

Lunar Beastiality

With 6 Bloodlust stacks, Hulei enters the Lunar Beast state, giving the Borisin Chieftain a buff. Evil of the Eclipse, increasing his speed by 40%, giving him the Malice status and allowing him to use the Wolf's Pursuit skill for the Glitter of Blood.

When Huley's vulnerability is broken, his Lunar Beast state is removed. While the Borisin Chieftain is in this state, he and all of his skills are colored red, and the Lunar Beast state of his minions becomes stronger.

• Wolf Howling at the Moon - a ive that causes each hit from an ally to give Hulei 1 level in the Lunar Beast state status Evil. One of his own attacks increases the status by 2 levels at once, and if the character hits him, then 1 status level is removed from him. When the blue number becomes equal to 0, and the red one increases to the maximum (usually 8), then the Borisin Chieftain automatically uses the Wolf's Pursuit ability for the glitter of blood and spends all the levels of the Anger status. If the number drops to 0 due to attacks on him, then his stamina is depleted, and the number of levels drops to a certain value.
• Wolf's Pursuit of the Glitter of Blood — deals very large damage to a single target and has a high probability of inflicting the Haunting Horror status on it. If you fail to remove it, the target will be under the Horror status until the start of the next turn and will not be able to act.

Tactics on how to defeat the Huley boss in Honkai: Star Rail

If you take into all the weaknesses and strengths of the boss, you will be able to kill Hulei in HSR without any problems. Rely on the following recommendations and tips so as not to drag out the battle with the enemy:

• Penetrating the vulnerability of the Borisin Chieftain will significantly simplify the battle, speed up the pace of the battle and protect the squad from many unpleasant skills, so assemble a team taking into the elemental weaknesses of Huley.
• The summoned monsters themselves do not pose a great danger, but the more of them there are, the faster all the Borisins on the field will accumulate Bloodlust levels and thus return to the state of Lunar Beast. Try to destroy them if possible, but do not forget about the main enemy.
• Fury stacks on monsters allow you to predict the boss's future rotation. Regularly check how many Bloodlust or Anger charges the enemy has accumulated.
• The most important thing is to try to get Hulei out of the Moon Beast state by hitting him as many times as possible in this form. If you are playing as the Harmony hero, consider using a normal attack instead of his buff. When there are many minions on the field with this effect, get rid of them, because otherwise, in one series of enemy attacks, the Borisin Chieftain will be able to use a skill with colossal damage to one target each time.
• In her special form, Huley gets a decent speed boost, so this stat is important in battle. Not only artifacts but also characters like Sushan are able to increase this indicator with their own skills. Among the light cones, "Dance! Dance! Dance!" will do for the allies of Harmony.
• There is no point in intentionally taking heroes with debuff removal in your group, since the Haunting Horror status is not removed by cleansing skills, and you will not encounter other debuffs in combat. It is better to prepare Abundance and/or Preservation characters with strong health for all allies.
• If the Borisin Chieftain destroys a character with one blow of the Wolf's Pursuit of the Glitter of Blood, then it makes sense to increase his health indicator and change some of the relics.

If the above recommendations still do not allow you to defeat the enemy and his flock, try upgrading your team or entering the battle using a different hero build.
