You’ll only know the true meaning of catfish once you’ve lived the story of the Trailblazer and Firefly. You should not let yourself end up manipulated by her soft voice and cute face. This adorable girl in uniform has the same destructive force as an EVA but with a more aerodynamic size. Although, like the strategy of redeeming its “villains,” Firefly is another ally in Honkai Star Rail for your team that you will need to build to brave Penacony’s Dreamscape. Before we get into spoiler territory, believe that Firefly, or SAM, is one of the most destructive DPS characters you can use in your party.

Although Firefly is a main Fire DPS, her kit makes her one of the best characters for Break Effect. Like other characters with this playstyle, you will need a build focused on Break Effect to turn SAM into the most destructive mecha in Honkai Star Rail, and for that, you need:

Best Relics

If you want to give a significant boost to the Break Effect of Firefly, the mecha waifu, Version 2.3, introduced new sets focused on this same stat. These are the best relic sets you can use:

Relic SetEffect
Iron Cavalry Against the Scourge4-Pieces: If the wearerโ€™s Break Effect is 150%/250% or higher, ignores 10%/18% of the enemy targetโ€™s DEF when dealing Break DMG to them.
Genius of Brilliant Stars4-Pieces: When the wearer deals DMG to the target enemy, ignores 10% DEF. If the target enemy has Quantum Weakness, the wearer additionally ignores 10% DEF.

Best Planar Ornaments

Among the Planar Ornaments that increase the SPD of Firefly, your best choices will be:

SetEffect
Forge of the Kalpagni Lantern2-Pieces: Increase the wearerโ€™s SPD by 6%. When the wearer hits enemy targets with Fire Weakness, the wearerโ€™s Break Effect increases by 40%, lasting for 1 turn(s).
Talia: Kingdom of Banditry2-Pieces: Increases the wearer’s Break Effect by 16%. When the wearer’s SPD reaches 145 or higher, the wearer’s Break Effect increases by an extra 20%.

Honkai Star Rail Firefly Best Team Comps

Firefly is one of the characters with a Super Breaks plastyle, which also debuted with the Harmony Trailblazer, so they will always be one of your best partner options. However, Firefly needs Harmony or Nihility characters, plus a healer, so these are her best team compositions in Honkai Star Rail:

PremiumF2P
Firefly – Main DPS
Trailblazer (Imaginary) – Support
Ruan Mei / Bronya – Support
Gallagher – Healer

Ruan Mei provides Break Efficiency, Break Effect, and SPD buffs. On the other hand, Bronya would give her an extra turn of attack for SAM.
Firefly – Main DPS
Trailblazer (Imaginary) – Support
Asta / Pela – Support
Gallagher – Healer

Asta is an excellent alternative thanks to its improved ATK and SPD. You can also use Pela for his AoD defense or Hanya for more Skill Points.
