Aventurine’s Abilities in Honkai Star Rail
Aventurine is the most reliable shielder in the game
Basic Attack – Straight Bet
This attack deals damage equal to 50% of Aventurine’s DEF to a single enemy, but it is only imaginary.
Skill – Cornerstone Deluxe
This skill grants a Fortified Wager shield to all allies, which has the ability to block damage equivalent to 16% of Aventurine’s DEF plus 80. The shield lasts for 3 turns and can stack if the skill is used multiple times, with a maximum of 200% of the current shield’s strength.
Ultimate Roulette Shark
Aventurine randomly gains between 1 and 7 points of Blind Bet. She then inflicts Unnerved on a single enemy target, causing it to last for 3 turns. This also results in the target taking Imaginary DMG equal to 162% of Aventurine’s DEF. Furthermore, any ally who attacks an Unnerved enemy will deal 9% more CRIT DMG.
Talent – Shot Loaded Right
The Effect RES of a single ally with Fortified Wager increases by 13%. Additionally, when this ally is attacked, Aventurine gains 1 point of Blind Bet. Having Fortified Wager also allows Aventurine to resist Crowd Control debuffs.
The effect can be activated again after a period of 2 turns. In addition, Aventurine will receive 1 point of Blind Bet whenever it is attacked. Once the total amount of Blind Bet reaches 7 points, Aventurine will use them to launch a 7-hit follow-up attack. Each hit will deal Imaginary DMG equal to 25% of Aventurine’s DEF to a random enemy. Blind Bet cannot exceed 10 points.
Technique – The Red or the Black
Upon utilizing the Technique, one of the following effects will be bestowed: a possibility for DEF to rise by 24%, a high likelihood for DEF to increase by 36%, or a low probability for DEF to rise by 60%. Only the most recent effect will be retained. Upon entering the next battle, the DEF of all allies will be raised by the corresponding amount, lasting for 3 turns.
Traces
- Leverage: Aventurine’s CRIT Rate increases by 2% for every 100 DEF that exceeds 1600, with a maximum increase of 48%.
- When a battle begins, all allies are granted a Fortified Wager shield with a Shield effect equal to 100% of the Skill’s effect. This shield lasts for 3 turns.
- Bingo!: After an ally with Fortified Wager launches a follow-up attack, Aventurine accumulates 1 Blind Bet point. This effect can trigger up to 3 time(s). And its trigger count resets at the start of Aventurine’s turn.
- After Aventurine launches his Talent’s follow-up attack, provides all allies with a Fortified Wager that can block DMG equal to 7% of Aventurine’s DEF plus 96, and additionally grants a Fortified Wager that can block DMG equal to 7% of Aventurine’s DEF plus 96 to the ally with the lowest Shield effect, lasting for 3 turns.

Aventurine Nihility team

Despite its exceptional qualities, Aventurine also has its flaws. Here are both the benefits and drawbacks of this unit:
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Reliable shielder with no downtime | Difficult to build if going for Sub-DPS, need DEF, Crit, and SPD |
| Deals DMG through follow-up attacks | Resource heavy unit as all his traces need leveling-up |

| Does not need Eidolons and hence f2p friendly |
Is it worth pulling for Aventurine in Honkai Star Rail?
It is highly recommended to invest in Aventurine when playing Honkai Star Rail. This character is widely regarded as the top shielder in the game and is among the strongest Preservation units, alongside Fu Xuan. Aventurine’s E skill, which grants full shields with just one press, makes him a valuable asset in challenging content.
Through initial testing, it is evident that his shield remains intact even when engaging in combat against adversaries in Memory of Chaos. Furthermore, should you choose to develop him as a sub-DPS, his subsequent attacks prove to be formidable and can be useful in breaking Imaginary shields or defeating foes.
Regardless of whether or not you have Fu Xuan, Aventurine is an essential unit to acquire. He is capable of functioning in your secondary team and can replace characters such as Luocha and Huohuo. The only exception is Blade, as Aventurine may not synergize well with this character. However, this is a rare occurrence as Aventurine is adaptable and can fit well into most team compositions.
