- Check out the best March 7th build in Honkai: Star Rail
Himeko Abilities
Himeko is a fiery 5-star Erudition character in Honkai: Star Rail. Her skill spreads fire damage across 3 enemies, and her ultimate ability Heavenly Flare deals huge damage to all enemies while regenerating energy for all enemies killed.
Her talent Victory Rush allows her to do a follow-up attack every time you inflict 3 enemies with Weakness Break. Himeko’s technique increases fire damage taken by enemies once you enter a battle after using it.
Best Himeko Light Cones
One of the best Light Cones for a Himeko build in Honkai: Star Rail is the “Night on the Milky Way” 5-star Light Cone. If you can get your hands on this, it’ll increase your damage for each enemy, and give you even more damage when you break a weakness. This synergises extremely well with Himeko’s follow-up attacks since they only happen after Weakness Breaks.
“Before Dawn” and “The Birth of the Self” are also good options that lean into Himeko’s follow-up attacks. You can also use any Light Cone that boosts damage if you’re unlucky with your Light Cone pulls on Honkai: Star Rail‘s banners. The main thing is prioritising damage as Himeko’s all about dealing as much damage as possible.
Best Himeko Relics
You’ll want to get your hands on the Firesmith of Lava-Forging relic set for Himeko’s build. This relic will boost your fire damage with 2 pieces equipped, and give you extra skill damage and even more fire damage with all 4 pieces equipped.
This relic set is only obtainable later in the game once you’ve reached Xianzhou Luofu in Honkai: Star Rail, so it might take you a while to unlock. You can grind them in Caverns of Corrosion.
You can also pair these relics up with Planar ornaments like Space Sealing Station, which boosts your damage further.
