Honkai Star Rail Gilgamesh materials, kit, and Eidolons

Ascension and Trace materials for Gilgamesh.

Gilgamesh is a 5-Star Lightning character of The Destruction path likely coming to Honkai: Star Rail in version 4.4.

Gilgamesh is part of the Fate/stay night crossover. Alongside Rin Tohsaka, he will be part of a new Fate-themed Banner event starting on 24th July. While this banner will be around for a ‘long period of time’, it doesn’t share pity with any of the regular limited time character Banners.

If you want to prepare for him, we’ve detailed reliable leaks of Gilgamesh’s Ascension materials and Trace materials so you can level him up to his full potential right away. To understand how you might play him, we’ve also detailed what we know about Gilgamesh’s kit and Eidolons.

Keep in mind that this is leaked beta information, so Gilgamesh’s materials and kit might change upon his official release.

Gilgamesh’s kit

Gilgamesh is a 5-Star Wind character of The Erudition path, and keeping in mind that this is leaked beta information from honeyhunterworld that could change upon his official release, and that all of the percentages mentioned below are based on Level 1 Traces, here’s a summary of Gilgamesh’s kit in Honkai Star Rail:

• Element: Lightning.
• Path: The Destruction.
• Rarity: 5-Star.





• Basic Attack: Halfhearted Blow — Deals Lightning damage equal to 50% of Gilgamesh’s attack to one designated enemy.
• Skill: Gate of Babylon — Obtains ‘King’s Acknowledgement,’ allowing this unit to ignore 15% of the target’s defense when dealing damage, lasting for three turn(s). Deals Lightning damage equal to 140% of Gilgamesh’s attack to one designated enemy, and deals Lightning damage equal to 70% of Gilgamesh’s attack to adjacent targets.
• Ultimate: Enuma Elish — Deals Lightning damage equal to 200% of Gilgamesh’s attack to all enemies, and additionally deals 10 instance(s) of damage, with each instance dealing Lightning damage equal to 50% of Gilgamesh’s attack to one random enemy.
• Talent (enhance): Amuse Me to the Fullest — When an ally uses their Ultimate, Gilgamesh gains ‘King’s Burden,’ which increases Ultimate damage dealt by this unit by 20%, lasting for three turn(s). Initially, automatically uses Basic attack at the start of this unit’s turn. When another ally target takes action, Gilgamesh gains one point of ‘Interest’. For each point of ‘Interest’ in possession, Speed increases by 10%. When ‘Interest’ reaches 10 points for the first time, Gilgamesh enters the ‘Interest Piqued!’ state. In that state, he can only use his Skill, lasting for the entire battle. After using Skill, this unit’s ‘Interest’ resets.
• Talent (AoE): I Grant You Permission To Strike — When Gilgamesh or Saber attacks, they accumulate one attack tally. After either unit attacks, if the accumulated attack tally reaches eight, Gilgamesh and Saber launch a Joint Follow-Up Attack, dealing Lightning damage equal to 200% of Gilgamesh’s attack and Wind damage equal to 300% of Saber’s attack to all enemies. Then, Gilgamesh gains three point(s) of ‘Interest,’ and Saber regenerates 120 Energy and the damage dealt when she next uses her Ultimate becomes 120% of the original damage. The accumulated attack tally is reset after using the Joint Follow-Up Attack.
• Technique (overworld ability): Enkidu — After using Technique, creates one Special Dimension lasting for 10 second(s). Enemies in the Special Dimension enter the ‘King’s Permission’ state. Enemies in the ‘King’s Permission’ state will stop all actions. When entering combat by actively attacking an enemy in the ‘King’s Permission’ state, causes all enemies in the ‘King’s Permission’ state to enter combat, and deals Lightning damage equal to 200% of Gilgamesh’s attack to all enemies after entering battle. Gilgamesh also immediately gains three point(s) of ‘Interest.’ Only one Special Dimension created by allies can exist.
• Bonus Trace 1: Epic’s Opening — When Gilgamesh uses his Ultimate, he gains two points of ‘Interest.’ When other ally characters use their Ultimates, Gilgamesh additionally gains two ‘Interest’ points and regenerates a fixed amount of Energy equal to 30% of the Energy consumed this time.
• Bonus Trace 2: Hero’s Hauteur — During the battle, every point of ‘Interest’ gained by Gilgamesh increases his Critical damage by 25%. This effect can stack up to six time(s).
• Bonus Trace 3: Hegemon’s Strife — While Gilgamesh is on the field, increases the attack of all ally targets by 20% and Critical damage by 20%. If the target’s Max Energy exceeds 140, every excess point of Max Energy additionally increases attack and Critical damage by 1%, up to a maximum of 100%.
