【Honkai: Star Rail Build TLDR】

❈ Yukong

There are two ways to build Yukong. It is dependent which you prioritize more: DMG from Yukong herself or her survivability. This would dictate what relic sets you'll use on her. She'll still be able to buff your team in either build.

For Sub-DPS Build (Recommended!)

Cavern Relic Sets (Choose either one 4pc or 2pc+2pc)

Wastelander of Banditry Desert

Musketeer of Wild Wheat

Messenger Traversing Hackerspace

Planar Ornament Sets (Choose 1 set)

Inert Salsotto

Space Sealing Station

** DMG% difference of each relic pairs could be found at bottom of this post.

Main Stats → Head = HP (constant) → Hand = ATK (constant) → Body = Crit Rate/DMG → Feet = SPD → Sphere = Imaginary DMG% → Rope = Energy Regeneration Rate (ERR)

Sub Stats → SPD → Crit Rate/DMG (dmg build)

For Tanky Buffer Build

[Relic Set 1 = to keep her squishy HP safe] → 4pc Guard of Wuthering Snow → 2pc Fleet of the Ageless

[Relic Set 2 = more basic ATK DMG, gets SPD to self] → 4pc Musketeer of Wild Wheat → 2pc Fleet of the Ageless

Main Stats → Head = HP (constant) → Hand = ATK (constant) → Body = HP% → Feet = SPD → Sphere = HP% → Rope = Energy Regeneration Rate (ERR)

Sub Stats → SPD → HP% (tank build)

Things to Consider

➤ If E0 to E1, rotation would be: → using S2 Memories LC + ERR rope, use 2 skill + 1 basic (SP-negative) → using any harmony LC + ERR rope, use 3 skill (SP-negative) → using any harmony LC + ERR rope, use 2 skill + 2 basic (SP-neutral)

➤ If E2+, rotation would be: → using S2 Memories LC + ATK% rope, use 3 skill (SP-negative) → using any harmony LC + ERR rope, use 2 skill + 1 basic (SP-negative)

** The highlighted ones are the recommended rotations for Yukong.

➤ If using Sub-DPS build, get at least 50 crit rate & 100 crit dmg on her.

➤ Optional: Build her with 120+ SPD to get the atk buff from Fleet of the Ageless set effect.

Things to Remember

➤ She needs speed-tuning in her build. This means her SPD should consider the next two allies who'll come next after her in the action order.

** Image from MrPokke's HSR CN Analysis Sheet. Link below this post.

➤ Her buffs work on the allies after her turn in the turn order. This means that her buffs won't lock into a specific ally, unlike what Tingyun buffs would normally do.

➤ The game considers that her buffs in skill/ultimate isn't buffing an ally, she is buffing herself instead. This means she won't proc Bronya's Sig LC effect of recovering 1 SP nor Danheng's Talent.

➤ Roaring Bowstring is not consumed by follow-up attacks, Ultimates and Seele's resurgence. Only consumed with basic attacks and skills.

➤ Use her basic attacks in between skills. This will make her return the SP she used.

➤ If using Sub-DPS build, most of her dmg comes from her ultimate.

➤ If using Fleet of Ageless on her, get at least 121 speed on her.

Speed Values (from OkCode)

** Assuming your DPS has 134 SPD, your Yukong SPD should be:

if DPS is erudition/destruction/nihility unit: 135+ SPD

if DPS is any other hunt unit: 155+ SPD

if DPS is Seele: 161 SPD to outspeed her specifically

** Adjust accordingly your Yukong's SPD depending on the SPD of your DPS.

Lightcones

Sub-DPS Build

Memories of Past 4☆ [S1]

Meshing Cogs 3☆ [S5]

Buffer Support Build

Past and Future 4☆ [S5]

But the Battle Isn't Over 5☆ [S1]

Carve the Moon, Weave the Clouds 4☆ [S1]

Dance! Dance! Dance! 4☆ [S1]

Planetary Rendezvous 4☆ [S1] (for mono imaginary teams)

Additional Block of Text Below

(Tbh, I just copy-pasted this from the Asta build TLDR I posted before this one. Lmao. Most harmony units practically have similar builds.)

4pc Messenger Traversing Hackerspace is the most recommended set for buffers and debuffers where their ultimate is directed at their allies. Unfortunately, Yukong isn't one of them, since her Ultimate is directed at the enemies instead of her allies, which you can see in this GIF below. But, you could still use the 2pc set if you are in need of +6 SPD on her.

4pc Musketeer of Wild Wheat is still the recommended set for Yukong despite the release of the Messenger Traversing Hackerspace set in patch 1.2.

4pc Guard of Wuthering Snow is another niche build to use on your harmony units. This is to ensure that they'll be able to lessen the DMG from enemy hits, especially, for some reason, enemies like to hit the harmony units more than the preservation units themselves. I'm looking at you, Tingyun. Also, what's with the foxian beauties that keeps on aggroing the enemies to hit them instead?

In this build TLDR, I recommend 2pc Fleet of Ageless set more than 2pc Sprightly Vonwacq. This is to give more buffing utility on the unit, than just to ensure the ult uptime of the said unit. The rotations listed above are fit to Fleet set more.

** Broken Keel & Fleet of Ageless for support usage is explained here.

— DMG Calculation Difference —

Since she has the potential to be sub-DPS due to having high multipliers in her ultimate, I created a mini dmg calc below just to know how much dmg% difference using the sub-DPS build would differ with the tank support build. Do note that the numbers I've gotten are just theoretical values since I didn't test it in the game.

Tldr: There's ~40% dmg difference between the highest dmg sub-DPS build and the lowest dmg tank support build.

guys. hear me out. guys. hear me out please.

it all started with comparing jade’s bracelet with tingyun’s and ended with this. i’m not complaining tho

[rubywolf0201]

An overview of Dr Ratio’s build that is presented in the trial

Not a bad build per say and I can take some notes on it but I’ll probably replace the Firmament Planar set with the Salsotto set, probably try a 2 pc Duke Inferno + 2 pc Wasteland set and last but not least use Dr Ratio’s signature LC (assuming I get it of course)

My team comp idea

This is going to be my idea of a Mono-Imaginary team but I made a few tweaks.

For example, I find it better if Yukong has the Penacony Planar set since her Skill buffs the ATK stat and is much faster lol. Luocha just have the Vonwacq set so that his ERR is a little better.

HSR: Character Build Archive - Harmony

Xipe

An Aeon that hails from multiple harmonious celestial worlds. THEY preside over the Path of Harmony. THEY are the amalgamation of thousands of entities that preaches the joy of human harmony and unity.

Certain character descriptions may contain story spoilers: Bronya, Sunday. If you’re not caught up to the most current version of the game, please read them at your own discretion.

Asta

The lead researcher of Herta Space Station and a lady from a renowned family. She's an astronomer overflowing with curiosity, and excels at managing the disparate staff of the space station.

she’s been sitting at 159.2 spd since 5.10.24. can't tell you how many hp bodies I've rolled in attempts to get more spd since then; trying to min-max spd is a pain

need to farm better planars; want to ditch the def/break subs to go for more eff res

latest upgrade - 7.16.24

Bronya

Belobog's current Supreme Guardian. She possesses pride befitting of a princess, but also the determination and integrity of a soldier.

working towards hyperspeed build: still 16.7 spd away from 160.1

did a simple swap of bronya & hanya's spheres; this current sphere was meant to be for sparkle (as were the head/hand pcs) but I've decided to give everything to bronya instead

relevant stat change(s): +.6% cdmg, +8.6% eff res

score change: +12 (SS+)

need to farm messenger (spd boots), wuthering snow (hands); will probably end up switching out the keel sphere if I can get one to roll a decent amount of spd

thinking about buying sig (btbio) from the starlight exchange; I'd prefer to get it from standard, but I'm running out of time bc I don't currently have enough jades to pull sparkle + sig

latest upgrade - 8.2.24 | changelog

Hanya

outdated build: recently rolled the def sphere but everything else is old/has been swapped to her while I was min-maxing other harmony units

will be permanently benched once I've pulled sparkle

latest upgrade - 7.12.24

Imaginary Trailblazer

A [person] who boarded the Astral Express. They chose to travel with the Astral Express to eliminate the dangers posed by the Stellaron.

it would be nice to roll some break on a character who actually needs it

need to farm 4pc watchmaker (hp/def body + spd boots) & talia (def/hp sphere + break effect rope)

would also be cool if I could get some more copies of motp but I'll keep my hopes in check on that one

latest upgrade - 6.8.24

Robin

A singer renowned across the cosmos, regarded as the superstar of the Starry Stage. Her captivating voice serenades Harmony to audiences across the universe.

unowned: adorable, I love her character and the fact that she sings; however, that love didn't surpass my love for boothill, whom I was saving to pull when they both were released in 2.2

will pull for eventually because Honkai: Support Rail is true and real. she's worth the investment since she'd be the perfect third slot for my Feixiao team

Ruan Mei

Member 81 of the Genius Society. Jointly developed the "Simulated Universe" with Herta, Screwllum, and Stephen. A master in the field of life sciences, she has an emotionless disposition and is only obsessed with research.

there used to be a time when she had 98% cdmg because of just how badly my rolls had been going; thankfully, they've gotten better since then

will be switching to slow mei (120 spd)

need to farm watchmaker (head + hp/def boots) & vonwacq (def/hp sphere + err rope)

latest upgrade - 7.1.24

Sparkle

A member of the Masked Fools, passionate yet unpredictable. She roams between major factions, amusing herself by turning the world upside down on her own.

mostly built: 5/6 maxed relics

set up on 2pc wuthering snow, 2pc messenger; would prefer to run 4pc messenger

need farm messenger (head/hands) & keel (err rope); bronya's messenger pcs are lacking spd - swapping them would not help w/spd tuning issues

currently at 147.8 spd & 201.1 cdmg; 12.2 spd needed to hit 160

latest upgrade - 7.29.24

Sunday

The benevolent and self-disciplined head of the Oak Family. In order to fulfill the promise made to his younger sister in childhood, he ultimately embarked on a path diametrically opposed to hers.

unreleased (2.7)

pounds fist on table I NEED him to come home to me so bad. I don't care what he does, if I have a dps that can take true advantage of him, or what relic and planar sets I have to farm to get the most value out of him. unfortunately, I don't currently have the savings to guarantee his arrival (gotta pull DHIL's cone in 2.6), so I'll be skipping the debut banner. however, once his rerun comes around, both he and his cone will be mine!

Tingyun

Amicassador of the Sky-Faring Commission of the Xianzhou Luofu. She travels with business delegates, forging trade relationships and alliances with many worlds.

took a year but she's finally fixed

somehow, she ended up with slightly less atk than she had when I still had half a set of 4-star relics

should probably keep trying to min-max survivability, but I really cannot be bothered; if she dies, she dies ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

latest upgrade - 7.12.24

Yukong

Head of the Sky-Faring Commission on the Xianzhou Luofu. Yukong was a seasoned pilot and a deadshot. Since heading up the commission, she's been buried under mountains of paperwork.

unleveled: lvl 1, e6

The most recent version of a character’s build(s) will be listed here; older build versions can be found on their designated changelog. To avoid word/image limit issues, information on a retired build will be removed from the path archive and a link to the build’s changelog will be provided in its place. Changelogs will only be created and maintained for the characters that I actively use; they will be updated whenever significant relic upgrades/changes have been made. Characters that have multiple builds (i.e. additional builds that are non-traditional, niche, or memes) will have a dedicated changelog for each one. Return to Navigation

Dan Heng, dear...

You scare me.

[narwhalandchill]

ok misc stream thoughts!!!

ANYWAY livestream over nice 30 pulls of aventurine funds for anni!!!! they didnt do anything insane but honestly it was kinda cope to expect them to, ratio for free was clearly a more of a spontaneous move and hes available throughout anniversary anyway so the "another 5*" were.... a little over the top im sorry wjkjwdjkwdjk altho i wouldnt have complained obviously. a free himeko or sth couldve been on theme for the cosmodussy event but eh cant be helped

im actually glad for the skippability of the reruns 😭😭 like i have luocha n jingliu (+ LC for latter) so by skipping acheron for now im gonna have a nice time getting aventurine and most likely his LC (2/3 of his 4* LC selection is so sad tho), love that fucker hope he gets to do proper mayhem in story too. cool death talk please dont actually die yourself for real for real tho i will be sad. like i do think its based of aventurine to pull off a stunt that appears to be what we in the business might call a certified chapter 5 komaeda moment but. ahahaha nooo dont actually die youre such a funny hat man .

(also sick boss form is sick but . bootleg FL im sorry aventurine. they hit perfection already and theyre never fucking topping the galaxy cape cyclops eye beak mask drip i swear JSWJWJDKWJKDWJK but also yes me biased? in favor of that ginger? i could never)

but it seems ill have a solid time getting aventurine and saving up for now??? since i dont think im too interested in robin or boothill either. i was kinda worried topaz' rerun would be in 2.1 for IPC antics with aventurine bc i am kinda curious abt pulling for her but now its gonna be 2.2 at the earliest so. Phew

the stream ran a bit too long lmao but like overall i tend to like the dev discussions so most of it was still neat, altho downside of dev streams is that not knowing chinese i cant just like. afk and listen on headphones and go get water or something 💀💀 and they were definitely dragging stuff out on purpose no way they werent but eh. people will live its just bideo game livestream. and like these folks do hard work on the game they can yap about what they do sometimes its only right lmao

leakers public shaming session was definitely a jumpscare but i do genuinely empathize w shaoji on that one. like. ive always been one for kit + banner leaks first and foremost and story leaks just. i dont care for them much. ive had my share of looking at them occasionally but i definitely agree with the way story leaks either by themselves or when misconstrued and misinterpreted really fucking mess with the intended experience for any given story and how that must feel like shit for the writers. like if story leaks stopped happening altogether id be perfectly content. and thats just ppl who look at story leaks on purpose cuz. im not going to even begin w how like. yes the leaks subreddits and most big leakers do spoiler warnings and keep the story stuff spoilered. but then theres literally the entire rest of the internet where shit gets spread untagged and without warnings the second they are posted anywhere at all and how that fucking ruins peoples experiences. like its 1 thing to click at a spoiler tagged post knowingly and get ur experience messed up with. but when u dont even want to see it its rly fucking bad and i v well understand condemning all story leaks (even those properly flagged) just on that basis alone. but yeah actually felt bad for him there and see where he was coming from for sure, even as a consumer of leaks

ok well that sure was a wall of text. didnt expect to write that much JWJKWJKDDWJK but ya

Anyway. biggest priority is holding strong w skipping acheron as sick as her animations are but def looking forward to her teaser and the animated short. like . even with the black swan dykery. (that was a fucking jumpscare too). i dont need her rn. despite how cool she is 😭😭

& also have to say im v happy they clarified their stance on hi3rd references like. the way theyre going abt it is absolutely how it should be going. hsr by nature is more directly linked to hi3rd like honkai is in the name but its such a dumbass idea (like some fan takes out there....) to want the stories of hsr depend on another games lore. rewarding old fans with easter eggs and tidbits is perfectly fine and im even interested in seeing where they go with acherons obvious raiden situation - especially knowing theyre not about to ruin their own story with "it was hi3rd all along!" (not that i ever rly thought theyd seriously blunder that bad lmao 💀) . so yea thats neat

i think story wise im not gonna say much of my thoughts bc unfortunately i have clicked on like. a leak or four. not the major stuff i dont think but enough that commenting on stuff w some of the things im aware of in the periphery is going to tint stuff . but im still excited to see where things go!!!

AAND OH. ACTUALLY i do have one more thing . so the multiple POV thing being actually implemented is SOOOO good im so fucking happy theyre committing to it being a thing 😭😭😭 like SO many story pitfalls can be avoided by just letting it be that TB doesnt need to be fucking everywhere a major thing happens as the centerpiece of events so we as players can see it. like it gives a way of showing different events and sides of characters in a much more natural manner its sooo good that theyre implementing it already. like this alone has me in such high hopes for the story going forward. like yea theyve branched from our POV before already and in penacony as well but expanding on it even more is 100% the correct way forward

last thing: god they did jingliu so dirty in her concert illustration. WHAT is she wearing 💀💀💀anyway yeah lesgo 2.1 its cool

i lied real last thing: siobhan . siobhan i would do anything---

[lwieserce]

I realized blade is going to be my best built char as of 1.6 but nobody cares about a blade supp in 1.6 which is even more of an incentive for me to get hanabi and have the best hanabi on the eu server

[rubywolf0201]

Random builds that I’m working on in HSR

While farming for the advanced trace materials for Topaz and Guinaifen, I managed to get all the relics plus it’s associated main stats needed to build Yukong. She’s doing pretty decent and I just need to farm for her Planar Ornaments and she’s all set! (Just need to choose which one suit her the best)

Likewis, while getting Space Sealing Station Planar Ornaments, I managed to get two Wind DMG boost of Herta’s Space Station Planar Sphere, which I quickly equipped on for Sampo and Dan Heng respectively.

Next, I put the ERR and Atk stat of Herta's Wandering Trek Link Rope on Sampo and Dan Heng.

For Silver Wolf, I sadly haven’t thought about which Planar Ornament I should get for her but it’s either Space Sealing Station or Commercial Enterprise but I’m not to sure. Right now, she’s using Broken Keel as a temporary replacement until I found a proper Planar Ornament to put on her.

[afterglowofcalamity]

I FINALLY HAVE HER

[electric-plants]

am i the only one that finds rutilant arena’s 70% crit rate requirement insane?? like girl why is it SO high

[nervocat]

congrats on getting robin nervo!!

i almost said “congrats on getting nervo robin”BYE 😭

I read it as that HAHAH but she got me I got her 🙏🙏 I love her sm but TY BELL!!!!!

[dazkinnie]

Im not sure if I should build clara, yukong and/or sushyang. Are they worth it? Not to mention, which 5 stars should I save up for/roll for next? I really want Jing Yuan and/or Kafka. But they are both the same types and I need some advice as to which characters are best.
