Himeko is a character that anyone who’s played Honkai Impact 3rd will recognize. While she had a tragic life in the aforementioned game, HoYoverse’s latest title has been better with her. Being one of the few 5-star Fire characters, she’s a fantastic addition to any team. While she might not be the most powerful DPS, she can still help in other ways. If you’re lucky enough to have her, we’ve prepared a guide for the best build and team comp for Himeko in Honkai Star Rail.

As mentioned, Himeko is a 5-star character who wields the Fire element and comes from the Path of Erudition. This means she excels at doing AoE damage, which makes her an excellent character to grind for certain materials. To improve her skills, though, this is the build we recommend for Himeko in Honkai Star Rail.

Best Light Cones

Himeko wields the power of the Path of Erudition, which means she needs Light Cones of the said path. Most will focus on increasing Himeko’s AoE damage capabilities, but some excel more than others.

  • Night on the Milky Way (Best): For every enemy on the field, increases the wearer’s ATK by 9.0%, up to 5 stacks. When an enemy is inflicted with Weakness Break, the DMG dealt by the wearer increases by 30% for 1 turn.
  • Today Is Another Peaceful Day: After entering battle, increase the wearer’s DMG based on their Max Energy. DMG increases by 0.20% per point of Energy, up to 160 Energy.
  • The Birth of the Self: Increases DMG dealt by the wearer’s follow-up attacks by 24%. If the current HP of the target enemy is below or equal to 50%, DMG dealt by follow-up attacks increases by an extra 24%.

Best Relic Set

While there are many relic sets you can use for Himeko, the best build for her in Honkai Star Rail will have her use the Firesmith of Lava-Forging set to increase her elemental damage.

  • Firesmith of Lava-Forging (4 Pieces)
    • 2-Piece Bonus: Increase Fire DMG by 10%.
    • 4-Piece Bonus: Increases the wearer’s Skill DMG by 12%. After unleashing Ultimate, it increases the wearer’s Fire DMG by 12% for the next attack.

Best Team Comp

Himeko excels at doing follow-up attacks and dealing more damage to those with the burnt status. For that, it’s recommended to grab as many Fire characters as possible for the best team comp for Himeko in Honkai Star Rail. As always, here are two options for her party composition.

  • Fire Team
    • Main DPS: Himeko
    • Support: Asta
    • Tank: Trailblazer (Fire)
    • Healer: Natasha/Lynx
  • AoE Team
    • Main DPS: Himeko
    • Support: Bronya/Tingyun
    • Second Support: Asta
    • Healer: Natasha/Lynx

The first team focuses on increasing Himeko’s fire damage, while the second is there to increase AoE damage regardless of enemy weaknesses. Thankfully, both team comps are easy to build, and you can swap premium characters for those who fill the same role.

And that’s a wrap on our best build and team comp for Himeko in Honkai Star Rail. If you own her, we recommend building her. She’s a fantastic party member for grinding Calyxes and certain bosses. Plus, the lack of Fire characters is real, and until HoYoverse adds more, we’ll be relying on the navigator of the Astral Express.
