Trailblazer's time control ability is a big deal over Amphoreus

Amphoreus is a mysterious dystopian world that survived a millennia-long war between the Titans and mortals. When the Astral Express crew arrives, they meet a group of heroes known as the Chrysos Heirs, whose mission is to obtain the Titans' Coreflames, so they can return the planet to its former glory. Amphoreus also has influences from Greek mythology, which is evident in the characters, locations, and gameplay.

As mentioned, one of the core gameplay mechanics Honkai: Star RailThe Amphorius Arc is the Trailblazer's ability to control time, also known as Oronix's Prayer. Oronix is known as the Titan of Time, who controls the past, present and future of Amphorius, and also preserves memories. According to Honkai: Star Raildevs, Trailblazer is able to harness the Titan's power through a phenomenon known as Oronyx's Miracle, which allows them to recreate illusions of the past and restore certain objects to their original state.
