Every playable character in Honkai: Star Rail possesses their own unique abilities that become more powerful as you work to improve their statistics. One of the most important ways to enhance a character’s abilities is to equip them with the best Relics.

Many Relic sets are available, and the list consistently grows as new updates arrive, so it can be tough to figure out which ones to give each recruit. Whether you’re struggling to build a character you just obtained or need to refresh an older unit’s set, here is a breakdown of the best Relics for every playable character in Honkai: Star Rail.

Obtaining a character is only the beginning of success in Honkai: Star Rail. Once you have them, you then need to get to work building them up with powerful gear including the best Light Cone possible.

Best Light Cones for every Honkai: Star Rail character

Light Cones are essentially Honkai: Star Rail‘s version of weapons. They apply similar benefits to the weapon system present in Genshin Impact. To find the best one for any given recruit, you need to look for one that amplifies and bolsters a character’s skillset to help them shine as an unstoppable force on the battlefield.

There’s lots of new content in Honkai: Star Rail version 2.4, but the beta for Patch 2.5 is already underway. With it, there are a bunch of new leaks, and some are teasing a new banner type in the near future that might change the game forever.

On Aug. 6, a Redditor shared a leak from UBatcha hinting that Honkai: Star Rail is getting a new banner type down the road, and it could be a big positive quality-of-life improvement. According to the leak, the new so-called Sub Banner has three switchable groups of old five-star characters and Light Cones. This means the older, Limited five-star units could be getting reruns more often. 

Players are eagerly waiting for Honkai: Star Rail version 2.4 to go live so they can get their hands on its new banners and content, but ahead of the update, there have been quiet changes to the cast.

The official Honkai: Star Rail website confirms that the voice actor for Argenti and Mr. Tail has been replaced. According to the site, the new voice actor for Argenti is Talon Warburton, and little heliobus Tail is now voiced by Aaron Veach.
