<br>Using **Honkai: Star Rail ** ’s best builds for Himeko is a great way of optimizing the character’s performance and overall damage output on the battlefield. The 5-star hero of the Astral Express is one of the characters that players get to test out during their initial tutorial in Herta Space Station, but then have to part ways with. Luckily, the character is one of the possible pulls from both the Beginner Banner and the Standard Banner. On top of that, there is a 50/50 chance that she will drop from Character Event Banners as well, making her presence in team comps not only common but even somewhat encoura<br><br> <br>Similar to Herta, Qinque is an Erudition character using the Quantum element, and can be claimed for free after clearing Memory Stage 3 in the Forgotten Hall - meaning that she won't be available for players through most of the currently available story unless pulled. While her Quantum element gives her a solid niche among Star Rail 's free characters, most of her tools revolve around a heavily chance-based mini-game, making her inconsistent in combat, and, like Herta, lacking in comparison to other damage dealers, especially with a slow-to-charge ultimate and the skill point hungry nature of her tile matching mini-g<br><br> <br>Similar to how each of Genshin 's Archons associates with a single element, the Aeons of Star Rail each follow a singular path - although unlike elements (which do still exist in Star Rail ), Paths are much more similar to character classes. Like the Aeons, each of Honkai: Star Rail 's playable characters follows a certain Path, which has important implications for what role they play in battle. Characters following The Hunt path, for example, focuses primarily on single target damage, while The Erudition focuses on multi-target damage.

For example, March 7th's Shield build works best with a 4-piece Knight of Purity Palace set . This set boosts DEF by 15% when two pieces are equipped. At four pieces, the set increases the DMG March 7th's shields can take by 20%.

After they use a Skill or Ultimate, they get a buff called Somnus Corpus, which is consumed when the user triggers a follow-up attack, boosting the attack’s dam<br><br> <br>As an Erudition character, Jing Yuan's role in combat involves dealing Lightning DMG with multiple targets. Both his Skill and Ultimate attack multiple targets and increase Jing Yuan's attack count by 2 and 3, respectively. This attack count is important for Lightning-Lord, as high counts deal more DMG with higher SPD in a follow-up attack. Jing Yuan's build is designed to boost Lightning-Lord's attacks and shroud the field in Lightn<br><br> <br>It also boosts DMG by 12% when the user inflicts the Weakness Break status on opponents. While these buffs are very good, they pale in comparison to Something Irreplaceable.

This is her signature weapon, and it boosts her ATK by 582 points (at level 80). What is interesting about this Light Cone, however, is its skill: the weapon boosts the user’s ATK for every enemy on the field, making it ideal for when Himeko and the team comp in Honkai: Star Rail are faced against larger gro<br><br> <br>Finally, the Trailblazer is Honkai: Star Rail 's main protagonist and pseudo-avatar for the player, similar to Genshin Impact 's Traveler. Uniquely among Star Rail 's playable characters, the Trailblazer essentially comes as a two-in-one package, being able to serve as either Physical Destruction or (after a certain point in the story) Fire Preservation. While the versatility is already a major plus, The Trailblazer is effective in either role, with Physical Destruction being especially valuable for exploiting common Physical weaknesses in the early game, and for its versatility in dealing single-target or multi-target dam<br><br> <br>Serving as one of the game's starting characters, Dan Heng is surprisingly capable when it comes to his role as a single-target damage dealer, with his Wind element and Hunt Path targeting a common early-game weakness and allowing him to easily break enemies. Complementing his damage dealing prowess, Dan Heng's talent gives him a hefty Wind resistance penetration buff after he's targeted by any ally's ability, boosting his already-impressive damage even further and giving him an easily usable synergy with many Harmony and Preservation characters - including fellow starter character March <br><br> <br>As the newest RPG from HoYoverse, Honkai: Star Rail _ has a few terms and systems that might not be clear to players who haven't been following the game's pre-release advertising. Much like the terminology of the developer's previous games, such as _Genshin Impact or Honkai Impact 3rd , terms that get thrown around in the game's story might not be explained all too well in the game itself, either, an issue that can be made worse when the terms have actual gameplay implicati<br>
