Mortenax V3 numbers landed. Does the Ashveil team you built still pay off?
Dispatch date: 2026-05-10
Mortenax's V3 beta numbers dropped today, and the team-wide follow-up buff that anchored the V1 Ashveil pairing got restructured. Half the community decided the Ashveil team was dead before lunch. Three creators read the actual changes three different ways, plus a separate generalist support-E1 ranking from StarNether for anyone still scoping the next vertical pull.
If you pulled Ashveil expecting Mortenax to slot in next patch, today felt like the floor moved. Pretender treats the panic as the through-line and walks the V3 deltas with the DEF-shred math out loud. Waveman takes the same numbers and pulls on the sustain thread instead, where one rule-text tweak quietly rewrites which premium-team setups still hold. Almighty Shotgun picks up the same V3 beat from the 4.3 banner angle and frames it as a save-or-pull question. StarNether closes the lineup with a generalist support-E1 ranking, the only piece in the set that has nothing to do with Mortenax.

Mortenax Blade Is MORE Broken Now. V3 Kit Buffs/Changes & Analysis | Honkai: Star Rail — Pretender · 8 min
"Is the Ashveil team dead now that Mortenax V3 dropped?" That's the question half the community was asking by lunchtime. Pretender's video is the calm, kit-text-grounded read for anyone who pulled Ashveil and wants a steadier hand before committing to a verdict. Instead of counter-yelling the doompost crowd, he just walks the numbers.
V3 Was VERY Interesting | Blade SP Review and Himeko SP Kit Predictions — Waveman · 11 min
V3 didn't just touch Mortenax. One rule-text shift on the sustain side propagates into the premium-team build, and that's the part Waveman traces. He also pulls a separate relic-set rework into the conversation as kit-shape evidence for Himeko SP, which is the only cross-character read on today's drop.

The 4.3 banner picture firmed up today, and Almighty Shotgun walks it with explicit source attribution rather than treating the schedule as settled. The relay frames the next two patches as a pull-budget question against your account context, plus one collector-side detail tied to Mortenax pulls that no other video in the day's set surfaces.

TOP 10 SUPPORT EIDOLONS That BREAK The Game… (Honkai: Star Rail) — Starnether · 20 min
Half the day's video pool is Mortenax. The exception is StarNether's top-10 support E1 ranking, which is the breather piece for anyone whose next vertical pull is genuinely undecided. The useful part is the lens he applies, generalist value versus archetype-locked, more than the final ordering.
