This guide shares the best build for Acheron in Honkai Star Rail, talking about the best Light Cones, Relics, Planar Ornaments and team compositions for her.
Are you looking for the best build guide for Acheron in Honkai Star Rail that talks about the best Light Cones, Relics and Team Comps for her to increase the effectiveness of her character kit? If so, this guide is for you.
For players who don't know, the mysterious character who calls herself a Galaxy Ranger, Acheron, is the Raiden Shogun / Raiden Mei's counterpart in Honkai Star Rail, who will join the playable characters roster with version 2.1 update alongside Aventurine.
Many of the players, including me, compare Acheron to Raiden Shogun and others because not only is she a five-star⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ unit, but she also has her Combat Type as Lightning with the Path being Nihility.
Resemblances and theories aside, there's no denying that Archeron is going to be a great character in the game whose character kit is based on applying debuffs to enemies to increase the effectiveness of the DPS unit.
That said, if you are one of the Acheron enthusiasts, keep reading our guide as we talk about the best build for her in Honkai Star Rail.
Acheron Best Build
The best build for Acheron focuses on increasing her CRIT DPS output while focusing on stats like ATK, the main attribute with which her most abilities scale.
You can also go for SPD and Lightning Damage, though don't make them your primary focus, as seeing Acheron's character kit, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, and ATK are the three stats that help you fully utilize her DPS role.
If you can, we recommend going for Acheron's E1 or E2 Eidolons, as they significantly increase her damage output and make her entire kit more effective.
Best Light Cone for Acheron
The best Light Cone for Acheron is none other than her signature ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Light Cone, Along the Passing Shore.
Similar to any other character and their Signature Light Cones, Acheron's Along the Passing Shore Light Cone is well tailored for her character kit.
Even though there are other four-star and five-star Light Cones that work well with Acheron, Along the Passing Shore performs better than all.
It increases Acheron's CRIT DMG by 36%. When she hits the enemy target, it inflicts Empty Bubbles on the enemy, lasting for 1 turn.
While you can deal this effect one time for each target for every attack the wearer launches, the wearer deals 24% more DMG to targets afflicted with Empty Bubbles, and DMG from Ultimate additionally increases by 24%.
So not only does the Light Cone increase Acheron's damage output, but it also applies a debuff called Empty Bubbles that further increases the damage done to enemies inflicted with the said debuff.
That being said, the second best Light Cone to use on Acheron is the Incessant Rain, Silver Wolf's ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ signature Light Cone.
Increases the wearer's Effect Hit Rate by 24%. When the wearer deals DMG to an enemy that currently has 3 or more debuffs, increases the wearer's CRIT Rate by 12%. After the wearer uses their Basic ATK, Skill, or Ultimate, there is a 100% base chance to implant Aether Code on a random hit target that does not yet have it. Targets with Aether Code receive a 12% increased DMG for 1 turn.
If you don't have Silver Wolf's signature Light Cone and are not willing to perform warps on the Along the Passing Shore Light Cone banner, you can go for Good Night and Sleep Well, the best ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Light Cone for Acheron.
For every debuff the target enemy has, the DMG dealt by the wearer increases by 12%, stacking up to 3 time(s). This effect also applies to DoT.
Apart from that, here are some other Light Cone recommendations for Acheron:
Increases the wearer's DMG to debuffed enemies by 24%. When the wearer uses their Skill, the Effect Hit Rate for this attack increases by 18%, and ATK increases by 24%.
After the wearer uses Basic ATK or Skill, deals Additional DMG equal to 48~96% of the wearer's ATK to a random enemy that has been attacked.
Best Relics For Acheron
The best Relic for Acheron is Izumo Gensei and Takama Divine Realm, as having two pieces increases the wearer's ATK by 12%.
Moreover, when entering battle, if at least one other ally follows the same Path as the wearer, then the wearer's CRIT Rate increases by 12%.
You can also use the other new Relic, Sigonia, the Unclaimed Desolation, on Acheron, as when enemies are defeated, her CRIT DMG increases by 4%, up to 10 times.
Apart from that, you can also use Relics like Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters, Musketeer of Wild Wheat and Band of Sizzling Thunder.
Using Debuff sets works well in drawing out more damage output from Acheron.
