On this page, as part of our Honkai: Star Rail guide, we're going to explain how to beat Starcrusher Swarm King: Skaracabaz (Synthetic).

How Do You Beat Starcrusher Swarm King: Skaracabaz (Synthetic) in Honkai: Star Rail?

Starcrusher Swarm King: Skaracabaz (Synthetic) is a formidable foe and will test all of your team-building ability. While he only has two phases, he'll prove a pest by constantly spawning more and more minions on the stage. You should consider using Erudition path type characters as your DPS units, because they generally have good AoE attacks which can also deal damage to the boss as well. When the smaller wasps are defeated, they'll erupt, delivering lethal damage to the Starcrusher Swarm King: Skaracabaz (Synthetic) in the process. You can stop the boss from spawning more allies by breaking its weakness.

You'll need to ensure your units are fully levelled and have good Relics attached to them, and you may also want to consider going into battle with multiple defensive units. For example, it can be a good idea to have a healer like Luocha as well as a defensive unit like Fu Xuan. We'd also consider adding a character like Hanya for Skill Point regeneration — or at the very least a unit that can amplify the attacks of your main DPS.

The reason for the Preservation unit is because in its second phase, Starcrusher Swarm King: Skaracabaz (Synthetic) will drop a planet on your team, and it can do untold damage. If you don't have ample shielding or protection, you may find that you simply don't have the opportunity to heal your team quickly enough, so it's best to put up some defenses to sustain you before your Abundance ally can recoup some HP.

Which Elements Is Starcrusher Swarm King: Skaracabaz (Synthetic) Weak to in Honkai: Star Rail?

Starcrusher Swarm King: Skaracabaz (Synthetic) is weak to Physical, Ice, and Imaginary elements, and you'll want to try to ensure as many members of your team align with these as possible. The most important thing is that your DPS corresponds with one of these elements, because you'll need to try and break Starcrusher Swarm King: Skaracabaz (Synthetic)'s weakness to prevent it from spawning new minions. It's helpful to have your other team members also contributing enhanced damage, but it's not essential if they're serving another purpose on your team. Fu Xuan, for example, is great at spreading damage, so is worth using here even if the boss is not weak to Quantum damage.

What's the Best Team to Beat Starcrusher Swarm King: Skaracabaz (Synthetic) in Honkai: Star Rail?

Even if you don't usually go with this kind of team composition, we'd recommend doubling up on defence against Starcrusher Swarm King: Skaracabaz (Synthetic). We'd advise having at least one Preservation and one Abundance unit, and then you can use your remaining two slots for DPS and support. Personally, we went with Jingliu and Hanya as our offensive options, with the former using Skill Points to build up her Blast attack, and the latter keeping them topped up. Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae could also work as the DPS in this same strategic approach.

The main tactic really is to keep your defences high, and consider characters who can damage multiple enemies at once, for those moments when there are a lot of enemies on the stage. Erudition units usually have good AoE attack abilities, and someone like Argenti could work as a DPS with the right kind of support.
