Acheron is a character that keeps many secrets and is full of mystery. When you meet her in Honkai Star Rail, she doesn’t say much about herself; Acheron has one of the most impressive builds, and with the right team, nothing can stop her. Her amazing power is because she is an Emanator of IX, the Aeon of Nihility, who gave part of its strength to Acheron, making her that powerful. Fortunately, Acheron is not an antagonist but a powerful one for the Astral Express crew. She will only roam free through the galaxy until the end of her days.
Acheron’s Gameplay Style Explained
Acheron is a character worth all the money in the world, especially for players looking for an ultimate DPS that can do massive DMG. This “Ranger” is versatile so you can use her against single targets or multiple enemies. The best part is that once you get her stacks for her Ultimate, she completely ignores the weaknesses and RES of the enemies. However, she needs more Nihility characters in her team, as the more debuffs she has, the more powerful Acheron becomes in Honkai Star Rail.
Best Light Cones
Acheron’s Light Cones should focus on getting as much debuff as possible as she improves her DMG while getting more stacks for her Ultimate. Acheron relies a lot on using her Ultimate because, in this state, she ignores the weakness of her enemies. These are her best Light Cones:
| Along the Passing Shore (5-Star) | This Light Cone is not the best just because it is Acheron’s Signature but because it gives the best enhancements for her build in Honkai Star Rail. This is because Acheron is a great attack character, and for her, it is amazing to increase her DMG and give her another Slashed Dream after using her Skill. |
| Incessant Rain (5-star) | This LC is especially useful if the enemy has at least three debuffs, and Acheron will get an increase in her CRIT Rate. Also, with this LC, Acheron can implant the Aether Code debuff to get more Slashed Dream stacks. |
| Good Night and Sleep Well (4-Star) | Acheron is a Nihility character, so her specialty is to put debuffs. With this Light Cone, she will gain a DMG boost if the enemies have a lot of debuffs. |
Best Relics
There are two ways to improve Acheron’s DMG in Honkai Star Rail; the first is to improve her build by maximizing the CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG using the Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters set for her build. Your second option is to use the Band of Sizzling Thunder set to get more Lightning DMG and DMG. These are the stats you should look for each relic’s piece:
| Body Piece | CRIT Rate (80%) / CRIT DMG (160%) – Even though Acheron is a Nihility character, she needs CRIT like the rest of the DPS characters to improve the power of her attacks. |
| Feet Piece | Speed – Try to get 101 SPD; this way, you can get more turns, earning you more Slashed Dream stacks. |
| Planar Sphere | Lightning DMG – Acheron deals a lot of Lightning DMG, but if your Ornament has better ATK stats, you can use that one instead. |
| Link Rope | Attack – This stat is one of the most important because Acheron is a DPS, so try to get 3,000 ATK. |
Izumo Gensei is one of the best Planar Ornaments, especially if you want to increase your CRIT Rate; you just need to have another Nihility character with Acheron. On the other hand, if you use Inert Salsotto, you will get a boost in Acheron’s Ultimate DMG, which is this Ranger’s primary way to kill enemies.
Team Composition
You should take at least one other Nihility character from Honkai Star Rail for Acheron’s ideal team, but if you can take one more, this will benefit you greatly. Primarily because for Acheron, you need to get as many debuffs and stacks as possible to use her Ultimate fully. These are the best companions for this Raiden:
| Acheron – DPS Jiaoqiu – Support Pela / Sparkle / Silver Wolf – Support Aventurine – Shielder | Acheron – DPS Kafka- Support Black Swan – Support Fu Xuan – Shielder |
Acheron is a character that is worth all your Stellar Jades. However, you must keep in mind that she needs a lot of investment for her build because most of her best teams involve several 5-star characters from Honkai Star Rail. Also, getting all her Traces is a must, but farming her materials is a piece of cake because she can eliminate enemies using her Talent without getting into combat.
