When it comes to Screwllum's talent, he will apply a debuff named Diffusion Mark. This mark can be consumed by attacking, and it deals Imaginary damage equal to 110% of his Screwllums ATK stat. Similar to his skill, it will also deal damage to nearby enemies. Whenever damage is inflicted on nearby targets, it will consume any existing Diffusion Marks and trigger a burst of damage.

Going by HoYoverse's usual update schedule, players can expect Honkai: Star Rail version 1.6 to drop around December 20.
