Honkai Star Rail: Himeko Pure Fiction Best Build
Jan. 23, 2024Himeko is a 5-star Erudition character with the Fire Damage type and she is always available in the Standard banner. Himeko has always been considered a weaker 5-star character, but she is an absolute beast in the latestPure Fiction game mode. If you have Himeko, here is how you can build her best for Pure Fiction in Honkai Star Rail.
How to Get Himeko in Honkai Star Rail
Himeko is among the six Standard Banner 5-star characters in Honkai Star Rail. Most players get Himeko after losing their 50-50 on limited banners or during the 5-star guaranteed pull in the beginner banners. She can also be selected from the 300 selectable guaranteed pull in the Standard Banner, but we don’t recommend it.
Himeko’s kit is completely focused on Weakness Breaking enemies, which in turn triggers her AoE Follow-up attacks. Let’s look closer at Himeko’s kit in Honkai Star Rail to understand how to ideally play her.
Himeko excels when you weakness-break enemies, either with Himeko or her allies.Focus your attacks on weaker and newly respawned enemies in Pure Fictionto easily weakness-break them, using her Skill and Ultimate. This will trigger her Follow-up attack, which does high AoE damage.
Himeko has only grown stronger since its release because of the new relics introduced in Honkai Star Rail. With the correct relics, planar ornaments, and stats, Himeko can output some serious damage. Here are Himeko’s best relic sets and stats in HSR.
The 4-piece Ashblazing Grand Duke is a clear favorite for Himeko, because of her high Follow-up attack damage. This relic set will further increase the damage of her Follow-up attacks and the 4-piece buff stacks easily in Pure Fiction. The 4-Piece Firesmith of Lava Forging is a good alternative as it increases her Fire and Skill damage.
The 2-piece Inert Salsotto is the best Planar Ornament set for Himeko, as it increases her Follow-up attack damage and Crit Rate. The Rutilant Arena is also a good alternative if you don’t have good sub-stats on the Inert Salsotto set.
When it comes to the Main and Sub Stats for Himeko,building her Speed, Crit Rate and Crit Damage should be the main focus.You can also use an Energy Recharge Rope to recharge her Ultimate quickly. Make sure to at least hit the134-speed breakpointto get two turns in the zero cycle.
The Night on the Milky Way is the best Light Cone for Himeko in Pure Fiction.It buffs the attack of the wearer based on the number of enemies on the field, which means it is almost always max-stacked in Pure Fiction.
The Seriousness of Breakfast is another great optionat Superimposition 5 and is better than Night on the Milky Way for Himeko outside of Pure Fiction.
Himeko’s Eidolons only slightly increase her overall kit.Don’t chase after her Eidolons, if you get them by failing another 50-50, then it’s fine, but there is no point in wasting tickets and Stellar Jades on her E6.
Bonus Abilities:
Stat Boosts:
Himeko’s best team composition for Pure Fiction is withTopaz,Ruan Mei, and Luocha. Topaz will increase her Follow-up attack damage and Ruan Mei will buff her damage and delay enemy attacks after Himeko weakness breaks them. Other than that,Hertais also a nice DPS pair for Himeko.
Serval can also be a good Sub DPS with Himeko if enemies have Lightning weakness. Asta is a good F2P choice for Support, and particularly effective against Fire weakness enemies in Pure Fiction.
Himeko is a strong character for Pure Fiction, but she isn’t very useful other than that. There is no point pulling for Himeko as you may get her by failing 50-50 on limited banners. It’s great if you get her, but there is no need to pull for Himeko.
