Firefly is a 5-Star Fire Destruction character new with Version 2.3 of Honkai: Star Rail. If you plan to pull for Firefly in the next Honkai: Star Rail banner, you’ll need to know the best build, such as the best Light Cone, Relics, and team comps.
Honkai Star Rail: Best Firefly Light Cone
Like most characters in Honkai: Star Rail, Firefly has a signature Light Cone that fits best with her called “Whereabouts Should Dreams Rest“. This is overall the best Light Cone you can get for Firefly, and it has this special ability:
With Firefly’s DPS build the most damage comes from her Break DMG and Break Effect, making this a perfect Light Cone. If you don’t have this Light Cone, you can also go for these choices:
On the Fall of an Aeonis the second-best Light Cone since it increases Firefly’s ATK and increases her DMG whenever she inflicts Weakness Break. Another decent 5-Star Light Cone isSomething Irreplaceablewhich also increases her ATK and DMG while also restoring her HP after defeating an enemy/getting hit.
If you only have 4-Star Light Cones, go forNowhere to RunorIndelible Promise. While the former will increase Firefly’s ATK and restore her HP after defeating an enemy, the latter increases her Break Effect and her Crit Rate increases when using her Ultimate.
Best Firefly Relics and Ornaments
You’ll need the proper Relics and Ornaments for Firefly if you want the best build. While there are a few good options there’s one that stands out. The four-pieceIron Cavalry Against the Scourageset is undoubtedly the best Relic set for Firefly for these reasons:
This Relic set is great against enemies with high DEF since she can ignore 10% of the enemy’s DEF while dealing Break DMG to them. It grants another 15% when her Break Effect is above 250%. You can farm for this Relic set at the Path of Cavalier Cavern of Corrosion in thePenacony Grand Theater. Otherwise, here are a couple of other Relic sets you can try for Firefly:
Thief of Shooting Meteoris the second-best Relic set since it focuses on Firefly’s Break Effect ability and can regenerate Energy when inflicting Weakness Break. Otherwise, theFiresmith of Lava-Forgingis only recommended if you don’t yet have the two best Relic sets. It can increase Firefly’s Fire and Skill DMG. You can always put a set together with two pieces of both these Relic sets as well for increased Fire DMG and Break Effect.
In the case of Ornaments, your best bet would be with theForge of the Kalpagni Lanternset since it’ll provide this effect:
You’ll want Firefly’s SPD increased so she can break enemy defenses more often during a fight, and this set will also increase her Break Effect when targeting enemies with a weakness to Fire. You can obtain this Ornament set from theDivergent Universe game modereleased with Version 2.3. There are only two other Ornament sets good for Firefly:
Talia: Kingdom of Banditrycan be a good optional Ornament set since it increases her Break Effect, and boosts it even more when her SPD is above 145.Space Sealing Stationshould only be used if you don’t yet have the other Ornament sets, but it’s good for increasing Firefly’s ATK.
Best Firefly team comps in Honkai: Star Rail
Once you get your hands on Firefly, you might wonder what party compositions are best for her. Here are some good options for Firefly as a main DPS:
Free-to-play team comp
Trailblazer (Imaginary)is an excellent support for Firefly since they can increase Break Effect for all allies. They can also deliver an increased Weakness Broken state with synergizes well with Firefly’s kit. Asta can increase Fire DMG for all allies, which is great with Firefly. She can also provide an SPD buff as her Ultimate. For a Healer, tryNatasha or Lynx. Both are great at AoE and targeted healing for an F2P team.
Break Effect team comp
For non-F2P players, a great team comp that focuses on Break DMG and Break Effect includesTrailblazer (Imaginary)again since they increase the team’s overall Break Effect. You can also haveRuan Meias a secondary support since she can boost the team’s DMG and Weakness Break Efficiency with her Skill while dealing Break DMG to enemies when an ally breaks the target’s Weakness.Gallagheris a great choice for a healer since he not only can restore the team’s HP, but his Talent makes targets receive more Break DMG (while also restoring the attacking ally’s HP).
Buffing team comp
This team comp focuses on buffs like increased SPD and ATK while not neglecting Break DMG. HavingAstaas a support allows her to provide both SPD and ATK buffs for Firefly. There’s alsoPelawho can reduce enemy DEF to allow Firefly to apply a Break Effect. Finally,Huohuocan heal party members while also buffing Firefly’s ATK and restoring the party’s Energy.
Now that you know about the right Light Cone, Relics, Ornaments, and team comps for the best Firefly builds in Honkai: Star Rail, another popular character you may want to do some research on isAventurine.
