Himekowas my first five-star in Honkai: Star Rail, so I’ve had the opportunity to test out a lot of builds. Here’s the truth of the matter:she needs a lot of investmentto be good. If you find your Himeko lacking in damage output or feeling a little clunky, this is why. Aside from unlocking all her Traces, she also needs good Relics, Ornaments, and Light Cones. Here’s a guide to help you get started.
Best Light Cones for Himeko in Honkai Star Rail
As an Erudition character, you want Himeko to scale two particular stats:ATKandCrit DMG. Both will effectively utilize her already high base ATK stat and Trace upgrades. Plus, she’s AoE!
Best Free-to-Play Light Cone for Himeko
Until you have any of the Light Cones above, you’re able to useThe Seriousness of Breakfast. This is a four-star Light Cone you can purchase from the shop in the Forgotten Hall. It will increase Himeko’s damage output by 12% (+4% for every enemy defeated during that battle).

Best Relic Sets for Himeko in Honkai Star Rail
you may build Himeko many different ways, but here are the only sets you should be looking at:
Which stats should you boost on Himeko?
For main stats, you want to focus onATK,Fire DMG, andCrit DMGfor the most part. I also like toput SPD on her feet, but you won’t need it anymore when you’ve unlocked her first Eidolon. For sub-stats, look for ATK, SPD, and Crit Rate.
Best Planar Ornaments for Himeko in Honkai Star Rail
There are only a couple of Planar Ornament sets I like on Himeko. Here’s a list:

Early into the game,Space Sealing Stationis also okay! It buffs ATK, which should help you get through those first battles. The above Planar Ornaments are available in Simulated Universe World 5.
Best Himeko Team Comps
It doesn’t really matter who you bring with Himeko since she’s really flexible. Just make sure it’s another DPS so she can support them with Victory Rush. Against foes weak to Lightning, for example, she and Serval will mow the enemies down. She andSushangorSeeleare excellent against bosses weak to their elements.
Himeko is a Fire character of the Erudition Path. This means she’s mainly used for AoE or all-enemy damage and is best used against mobs. However, with another main DPS in the team, we also like to bring her in for bosses. Her Victory Rush talent is impeccable.
