Before Dawn increases Crit DMG by up to 64% alongside Skill DMG and Ultimate DMG by up to 40%, Jing Yuan relies on the constant use of his Skill and Ultimate to increase Lightning-Lord’s DMG. This Light Cone is perfect after a Skill or Ultimate; the wearer gets Somnus Corpus. This condition increases the next follow-up attack DMG by up to 96%. Since Lightning-Lord’s attacks are always considered follow-up attacks, this makes the summoned avatar incredibly power
March 7th’s Shield build plays on her Skill and Talent. She can apply a sturdy shield to allies, drawing the attention of enemies to them. When an enemy attacks a shielded ally, March 7th can Counter twice per turn. Her Frozen build, meanwhile, focuses on Freezing enemies in her Ultimate to deal extra damage. For March 7th to be effective, players should prioritize one build over anot
While March can keep shields up with every Skill usage, Gepard is an easier tank to build with better shields overall. He can apply shields before a battle and create them for the whole team with his Ultimate. Even in later portions of the game, Gepard is one of the best 5-star Honkai: Star Rail characters to have in a team, to the point that having a healer is debata
The hero follows the Erudition Path in Honkai: Star Rail ’s combat system . This means that she specializes in hitting multiple targets at once with AoE (area of effect) attacks, and her skills certainly reflect that. She is also one of the few Fire characters in the game as of Version 1.0, making her extremely valuable for facing some opponents that may be weak against the element. With the proper build for Himeko in Honkai: Star Rail , her powers can be substantially increased, to the point that her optimization makes her indispensable in most team comps – mainly by acting as a secondary DPS that supports the team with damage out
One of the last 5-star characters introduced with Honkai: Star Rail ’s final closed beta, Bailu is a much-needed healer. Although the game has other options, Bailu may as well be the best healer the game has so far. For players struggling with tougher opponents and fights, Bailu may be the solution to keep the team alive long enough to get through the challe
March 7th is an important character in Honkai: Star Rail ** ‘s story, and using her with the proper build can make all the difference. She is an amnesiac traveler onboard the Astral Express and one of the two characters who first meet the Trailblazer. As a playable character, she is an Ice 4-Star of the Preservation path. Her abilities lend her to two different builds; a Shield build and a Frozen build
**Because the main character starts off as a regular DPS, Honkai: Star Rail ’s Trailblazer (Destruction) builds will see them employing Light Cones that boost their best stats. ** While they are following The Destruction Path, they can only equip Light Cones in The Destruction category. Luckily, even at launch, there are plenty of The Destruction Light Cones in Honkai: Star Rail that players can choose from, so even if they do not get the ideal one, they will still have a good substitute weapon to give to their main charac
As a Physical Abundance character, Natasha is the only free character capable of healing other party members during combat. As such, she has an invaluable niche that none of Star Rail ‘s other free characters can fulfill, and can be a near mandatory option for some of the game’s harder fights, depending on the strength of a player’s other characters. While strictly unimpressive offensively, Natasha’s healing can be crucial in turning around desperate, low-health situations against strong enemies – especially considering her Talent, Innervation, which massively boosts any healing she gives to low-health targets, and her ultimate, which is a full-party h
Himeko shouldn’t be using her Basic Attack as often as her other skills, so that should be the last thing players consider when building her. She is an Erudition Path character and her focus is hitting multiple targets at once, so boosting her one ability that is not focused on multi-targets goes in the opposite direction of her original purp
What makes this 5-star Honkai Star Rail 3.1: Star Rail character one of the best is her ability to chain extra attacks with every kill. She is a quick character, often striking first while also hitting very hard. Seele is a viable substitute for the Trailblazer themselves if they are not doing enough damage and the team lacks more firepo
Light Cones are memory fragments associated with different characters, meaning most characters in Honkai: Star Rail have a Light Cone specially designed for their kit. As a central character in the game, March 7th actually has two Light Cones connected to her memory, both of which would prove useful. March 7th’s best Light Cone for a Shield build is Day One of My New Life . With a built-in DEF bonus to boost her shield’s strength, the Light Cone increases her allies’ DMG RES by up to 12%. This is further protection for when enemies are attracted to t
