Asta is one of several characters you will encounter in Herta Space Station in Honkai Star Rail. While she is not the best unit in the game, she can provide buffs and cause a ton of Fire damage. If you manage to obtain her from Gacha, you can check out this handy guide to find out the best build for Asta!
Honkai Star Rail Best Asta Build
Asta is a four-star character who follows the Path of Harmony with a Fire element. Her kit revolves around supporting your team, but she is also great to cause Break on enemies who are weak against Fire.
- Light Cone: But the Battle Isn’t Over
- Alternatives: Memories of the Past, Dance! Dance! Dance!, Planetary Rendezvous
- Relics: Messenger Traversing Hackerspace
- Body: HP% or ATK %
- Feet: SPD
- Planar Ornaments: Broken Keel
- Sphere: HP% or Fire DMG
- Rope: Energy Regen Rate
- Trace Priority: Ultimate > Talent > Skill > Basic Attack
- Eidolons: E6
The best Light Cone for Asta is the five-star Harmony Light Cone, But the Battle Isn’t Over. This item can increase her Energy Regeneration Rate by 10 percent and regenerate one Skill Point when she uses her Ultimate. Not only that, but the next ally taking action after Asta uses her Skill will deal 30 percent more DMG during their next turn.
I recommend equipping the Messenger Traversing Hackerspace Relic set on Asta. Besides boosting her SPD, this equipment can also increase the team’s speed by 12 percent for one turn whenever she uses her Ultimate.
Like Tingyun, the Broken Keel Planar Ornament is the best set for Asta. This set can increase her Effect RES and boost her allies’ CRIT DMG if her Effect Res reaches 30 percent or higher.
When upgrading her Traces, you should prioritize leveling up her Ultimate and Talent since that’s how Asta buffs her teammates. Afterward, you can upgrade her Skill if you want to increase her Fire DMG. However, I don’t recommend leveling up her Basic Attack since she is not meant to be a main DPS.
Since Asta is a four-star unit, I suggest unlocking her E6, Cosmos Dreams in Calm and Comfort. This Eidolon reduces the number of Charging stacks lost during each turn, letting her buffs last longer.
