While many of us are always looking for the best 5-star characters in Honkai: Star Rail, we must remember there are some 4-star party members worth building, such as Hanya. As a Path of Harmony character, she’s capable of buffing members, increasing their speed, and even restoring a few skill points, which is always welcome in specific party compositions. So, if you’re lucky enough to have this lady in your roster, getting the right build for her is something worth your time.
The Best Build for Hanya in Honkai Star Rail
[Updated on November 8, 2024 – Updated the build’s information to line up with the game’s most recent version (2.6)]
While Hanya excels at buffing others, building her and even playing her might not be the easiest for Honkai: Star Rail players. Contrary to other modern Harmony characters, setting up Hanya takes a bit of time and resources. Plus, she needs a lot of energy to pull of her Ultimate, which sadly, only benefits one party member. However, she’s still great for those who don’t have the likes of Robin or Sparkle in their team.
Best Light Cones
As a 4-star character, Hanya doesn’t need the rarest Light Cones for her build in Honkai: Star Rail, which is a bonus. Fortunately, the best option for her is the 4-star Light Cone, Dance! Dance! Dance! But if you don’t have it, there are a few others you can equip her with.
| Light Cone | Description |
|---|---|
| Dance! Dance! Dance! (4-Star/Best) | Oddly enough, this 4-star Light Cone is the best for Hanya. Since her Ultimate is the bet thing about her kit, using it will also advance everyone’s action forward by a certain percentage, which will depend on the LC’s Superimposition. Also, obtaining this Light Cone isn’t hard, and chances are you already have a few copies of it in store. |
| But The Battle Isn’t Over (5-Star) | If you really want to give her a beefy Light Cone, Bronya’s signature one is the best. You’ll improve Hanya’s energy regeneration rate while also giving her a skill point after using her Ultimate skill twice. It is certainly a great choice, especially if you don’t have other 5-star Harmony to use this LC. |
| Planetary Rendezvous (4-Star) | This one is a niche option, as it only works if you have characters of the Physical element. It could be a good idea in teams featuring Boothill or Yunli, but if not, go for the previous two. |
Best Relic Set
Even months after her release in Honkai: Star Rail, Hanya’s build hasn’t changed much in terms of relic sets. As it stands, the Messenger Traversing Hackerspace remains the best set for Harmony characters and might stay as such until HoYoverse releases an even better one. However, stats and sub-stats are what matter for this build.
| Relic/Ornament Piece | Recommended Stats |
|---|---|
| Body Piece | Since Hanya’s stats aren’t the best, it is important to focus on DEF or HP for this piece. She’s quite a squishy character, and with Hanya being the buffer, keeping her alive is paramount. |
| Feet Piece | Speed is always ideal for Hanya, as it will let her act faster and gather energy at a better rate. |
| Planar Sphere | Just like the body piece, go for DEF or HP to make Hanya a bit “tankier.” |
| Link Rope | Since we need to spam her Ultimate skill, go for Energy Regeneration. It is the only stat you need here and the one that will make this build work even better. |
The Best Team Compositions for Hanya
As a character from the Path of Harmony, she fits perfectly in almost any team; however, there are a few compositions where she performs better. As usual, here are a few compositions for you to choose from.
| Team | DPS | Sub-DPS/Second Support | Support | Sustain |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Follow-Up Team | Feixiao | Topaz | Hanya | Aventurine |
| Skill-Point-Hungry Team | Imbibitor Lunae | Sparkle | Hanya | Fu Xuan |
| Physical Team | Clara/Yunli | Robin | Hanya | Aventurine |
While the meta is always changing, one of the best teams for Hanya is any with Imbibitor Lunae. He’s a fantastic DPS character, and since he’ll be burning the team’s skill points, Hanya can recover them fast. Yet, you can also use any other character from the Path of the Hunt or Destruction if you don’t have Imbibitor Lunae.
