Hilarious Honkai: Star Rail Bug Doesn't Let Player Hit Enemies

Highlights

Honkai: Star Rail is experiencing a bug that causes players to miss enemy attacks while exploring, which can be resolved by switching characters or reporting the bug for rewards.
Despite the bug, Honkai: Star Rail has been receiving recognition and awards for its compelling story, limited-time events, and unique characters.
This bug may be caused by the enemy being unable to register small characters like Hook, and while it can be frustrating, players have found humor in the situation.

There’s a Honkai: Star Rail bug that causes players to miss enemy attacks while exploring. Just like any game, Honkai: Star Rail isn’t safe from the occasional funny and game-breaking glitches. Recently, HoYoverse said it’s addressing a bug that’s affecting the Trotter Catch challenge in Simulated Universe.

Honkai: Star Rail has been on a roll lately with its compelling story, limited-time events, and unique banner characters. The game was recently nominated for Best Mobile Game at The Game Awards 2023, and won two awards from Apple (iPhone Game of the Year) and Google Play (Best Game). Honkai: Star Rail also qualified for the second round of The Game Awards’ Players’ Voice, alongside other fan-favorite titles like Genshin Impact and Alan Wake 2.

Of course, video games won’t always be perfect, as players will sometimes experience hiccups. This was the case with Reddit user Username69221, who shared a Honkai: Star Rail clip where they encountered a bug that caused them to not land attacks on the Frigid Prowler Stagnant Shadow. The 20-second video showed them attacking the enemy using Hook, while joking that it was “too fat” that they can’t even hit it. Many gamers in the comments also joked that Hook is too small to attack. At the same time, the Frigid Prowler wasn’t hostile towards Hook as well. The bug resolved itself when Username69221 switched to Seele to attack the monster.

While many commenters found the bug hilarious, they said that this was a common occurrence while using Hook. Some also shared that they experienced this using different characters against enemies like Svarog in the Simulated Universe. Additionally, they confirmed that players can fix the bug by simply switching characters, but they can also report the bug to HoYoverse to receive 300 Stellar Jades for the trouble.

There’s no clear explanation as to what causes this Honkai: Star Rail bug, but it might be because the enemy couldn’t register small characters like Hook. There’s a trick in Honkai: Star Rail where players can make shorter characters hide behind boxes to avoid enemy fights. Perhaps the game glitched out and thought Hook was “hiding,” so her attacks didn’t register. Nonetheless, the bug made for a funny clip that many fans could enjoy while taking a break from the Honkai: Star Rail grind.

In less than a week, Honkai: Star Rail will launch the second phase of Version 1.5. The main banner will feature new five-star character Argenti and four-star Hanya, while the re-run banner will feature Silver Wolf.
