Relics in Honkai: Star Rail function as your equipment. Each character can equip two types of relic sets: Cavern Relics and Planar Ornaments. With twenty-four different sets currently available in the game, trying to find the optimal build for your favorite character can feel like an overwhelming challenge. Fret not — in this article, we take a look at each character and the best relic set for their kit.

 

Arlan - 4 Star - Lightning - Destruction

Last on tier lists, first in our hearts.

Starting at the bottom of the list (I'm so sorry Arlan), we take a look at Arlan. His kit revolves around keeping his HP low to ensure his damage output stays high.

Best Cavern Relic Set — Band of Sizzling Thunder

With a lightning damage and skill damage boost, Band of Sizzling Thunder is easily the best option for increasing Arlan's output.

Band of Sizzling Thunder Stats

• 2 piece: Increases lightning damage by 10%.
• 4 piece: When the wearer uses their skill, increases their attack by 20% for 1 turn.

Where to find Band of Sizzling Thunder

• Cavern of Corrosion: Path of Holy Hymn

Second Best Cavern Relic Set — Musketeer of Wild Wheat

Musketeer of Wild Wheat is a relic set you'll get five star drops of fairly early in the game, and is a fine stand-in until you can farm the more powerful Band of Sizzling Thunder.

Musketeer of Wild Wheat Stats

• 2 piece: Attack increases by 12%.
• 4 piece: The wearer's speed increases by 6% and their basic attack damage increases by 10%.

Where to find Musketeer of Wild Wheat

• Cavern of Corrosion: Path of Drifting

Best Planar Ornament Set — Rutilant Arena

A relatively new relic set, it synergizes well with Arlan's kit, since most of his damage comes from his skill.

Rutilant Arena Stats

• 2 piece: Increases the wearer's crit rate by 8%. When the wearer's current crit rate is 70% or higher, the wearer's basic attack and skill damage increase by 20%.

Asta - 4 Star - Fire - Harmony

We all wish we had her wallet.

Asta is primarily a speed buffer, though her break efficiency against single enemies is nothing to scoff at, either. This rich astronomer really shines when supporting other Fire characters.

Best Cavern Relic Set — Messenger Traversing Hackerspace

Another relatively new Relic set, Messenger Traversing Hackerspace is easily the best relic set for Asta, as it can further buff speed for the entire team on top of her ultimate.

Messenger Traversing Hackerspace Stats

• 2 piece: Increases speed by 6%.
• 4 piece: When the wearer uses their ultimate on an ally, increase speed of all allies by 12% for 1 turn. This effect cannot be stacked.

Where to find Messenger Traversing Hackerspace

• Cavern of Corrosion: Path of Elixir Seekers

Second Best Cavern Relic Set — Musketeer of Wild Wheat

As it's such a versatile relic set, Musketeer of Wild Wheat will be brought up often as a runner up for best set on attack scaling characters. It's especially important to note that the bonus from Messenger Traversing Hackerspace doesn't stack with buffs from the same artifact set. If you have a team member already equipped with Asta's best relic set, Musketeer of Wild Wheat is a solid backup plan.

Musketeer of Wild Wheat Stats

• 2 piece: Attack increases by 12%.
• 4 piece: The wearer's speed increases by 6% and their basic attack damage increases by 10%.

Where to find Musketeer of Wild Wheat

• Cavern of Corrosion: Path of Drifting

Best Planar Ornament Set — Fleet of the Ageless

Given that you're going to be building Asta with a lot of speed to keep her ultimate up anyway, the attack bonus from this set is easy to reach and the HP boost helps keep Asta standing for as long as possible.

Fleet of the Ageless Stats

• 2 piece: Increases the wearer's max HP by 12%. When the wearer's speed reaches 120 or higher, increase all allies' attack by 8%.

• World 3 of Simulated Universe

 

Dan Heng - 4 Star - Wind - Hunt

Broody Astral Express man wonders why you stopped building him.

Being one of the first characters you receive in the game, Dan Heng is a fairly easy-to-build DPS. Anything that grants him more wind damage or attack is the way to go.

Best Cavern Relic Set — Eagle of Twilight Line

With a boost to wind damage and a four piece effect that advances your turn forward after using your ultimate, Dan Heng's first choice for his cavern relic set should be Eagle of Twilight Line.

Eagle of Twilight Line Stats

• 2 piece: Increases wind damage by 10%.
• 4 piece: After the wearer uses their ultimate, their action is advanced forward by 25%.

Where to find Eagle of Twilight Line

• Cavern of Corrosion: Path of Gelid Wind

Second Best Cavern Relic Set — Musketeer of Wild Wheat + Eagle of Twilight Line

While best utilized with the 2 piece effect and pairing it with the 2 piece effect of Eagle of Twilight Line mentioned above, Musketeer of Wild Wheat (as with many characters) is definitely a legitimate second pick.

Musketeer of Wild Wheat Stats

• 2 piece: Attack increases by 12%.
• 4 piece: The wearer's speed increases by 6% and their basic attack damage increases by 10%.

Best Planar Ornament Set — Space Sealing Station

With Dan Heng being a DPS character, Space Sealing Station is the best option for his Planar Ornament slots given you've been investing in his speed.

Space Sealing Station Stats

• 2 piece: Increases the wearer's attack by 12%. When the wearer's speed reaches 120 or higher, the wearer's attack increases by an extra 12%.

• World 3 of Simulated Universe

 

Herta - 4 Star - Ice - Erudition

She can do much more than just provide free items and hours of gameplay.

Herta is available for free through the first level of Simulated Universe. Her kit focuses on ice damage and follow-up damage, and for the most part, her relics should too.

Best Cavern Relic Set — Musketeer of Wild Wheat + Hunter of Glacial Forest

Herta's ideal setup includes 2 pieces of Hunter of Glacial Forest and 2 pieces of Musketeer of Wild Wheat, netting her both an ice damage and attack boost.

Musketeer of Wild Wheat Stats

• 2 piece: Attack increases by 12%.
• 4 piece: The wearer's speed increases by 6% and their basic attack damage increases by 10%.

Where to find Musketeer of Wild Wheat

• 4 piece: After the wearer uses their ultimate, their crit damage increases by 25% for 2 turns.

Where to find Hunter of Glacial Forest

• Cavern of Corrosion: Path of Gelid Wind

Second Best Cavern Relic Set — Hunter of Glacial Forest

As the Cavern Relic Set that focuses on improving ice damage, Hunter of Glacial Forest is the best relic set for her. While the 4 piece effect doesn't do much for Herta's overall damage, you'll need at least two good pieces from this set for her optimal set up.

Hunter of Glacial Forest Stats

• 2 piece: Increases ice damage by 10%.
• 4 piece: After the wearer uses their ultimate, their crit damage increases by 25% for 2 turns.

Where to find Hunter of Glacial Forest

• Cavern of Corrosion: Path of Gelid Wind

Best Planar Ornament Set — Space Sealing Station

Inert Salsotto is also a fine pick to boost her follow-up damage, but the boost from Space Sealing Station tends to give a more consistent improvement to Herta's personal damage.

Space Sealing Station Stats

• 2 piece: Increases the wearer's attack by 12%. When the wearer's speed reaches 120 or higher, the wearer's attack increases by an extra 12%.

• World 3 of Simulated Universe

 

Hook - 4 Star - Fire - Destruction

Her giggle is unrivaled.

This adorable little Destruction gremlin is another straightforward 4 Star DPS — simply give her some speed, attack, and crit stats, and unleash her unto the world.

Best Cavern Relic Set — Musketeer of Wild Wheat + Firesmith of Lava-Forging

While Musketeer of Wild Wheat's 4 piece effect isn't what you're after, the 2 piece Musketeer + 2 piece Firesmith is the optimal setup for Pitch-Dark Hook the Great.

Musketeer of Wild Wheat Stats

• 2 piece: Attack increases by 12%.
• 4 piece: The wearer's speed increases by 6% and their basic attack damage increases by 10%.

Where to find Musketeer of Wild Wheat

• Cavern of Corrosion: Path of Drifting

Firesmith of Lava-Forging Stats

Where to find Firesmith of Lava-Forging

• Cavern of Corrosion: Path of Conflagration

Second Best Cavern Relic Set — Firesmith of Lava-Forging

The 4 piece effect of Firesmith of Lava-Forging takes the second-place spot for Hook, as it loses out to the 2 piece Musketeer + 2 piece Firesmith combo in terms of burn damage.

Firesmith of Lava-Forging Stats

• 2 piece: Increase fire damage by 10%.
• 4 piece: Increases the wearer's skill damage by 12%. After unleashing ultimate, increases the wearer's fire damage by 12% for the next attack.

Where to find Firesmith of Lava-Forging

• Cavern of Corrosion: Path of Conflagration

Best Planar Ornament Set — Rutilant Arena

With the largest amount of damage coming from Hook's skill, Rutilant Arena is going to be the best pick to improve her numbers.

Rutilant Arena Stats

• 2 piece: Increases the wearer's crit rate by 8%. When the wearer's current crit rate is 70% or higher, the wearer's basic attack and skill damage increase by 20%.

Luka - 4 Star - Physical - Nihility

The kind of guy that brings a fist to a knife fight and wins.

Luka is a physical support with a focus on damage over time. His main goal in life is to make his enemies bleed, a fact well represented by his kit.

Best Cavern Relic Set — Champion of Streetwise Boxing

Luka can take advantage of both the physical damage boost from the 2 piece and the attack boost from the 4 piece, making this relic set his best choice.

Champion of Streetwise Boxing Stats:

• 2 piece: Increase physical damage by 10%.
• 4 piece: After the wearer attacks or is hit, their attack increases by 5% for the rest of the battle. This effect can stack up to five times. 

Where to find Champion of Streetwise Boxing

Second Best Cavern Relic Set — Messenger Traversing Hackerspace + Champion of Streetwise Boxing

The physical damage boost from the 2 piece Champion of Streetwise Boxing set combined with the speed boost from the 2 piece Messenger Traversing Hackerspace set is a decent alternative to the 4 piece set mentioned above, allowing Luka to attack more often and inflict more bleeding.

Messenger Traversing Hackerspace Stats

• 2 piece: Increases speed by 6%.
• 4 piece: When the wearer uses their ultimate on an ally, increase speed of all allies by 12% for 1 turn. This effect cannot be stacked.

Best Planar Ornament Set — Pan-Galactic Commercial Enterprise

As mentioned before, Luka wants to make his enemies bleed. To make sure this happens, you'll want to build his effect hit rate up. This Planar Ornament set will not only help you do that, but give you an attack boost as well.

Pan-Galactic Commercial Enterprise Stats

• 2 piece: Increases the wearer's effect hit rate by 10%. The wearer's attack is increased by 25% of the current effect hit rate, to a maximum of 25%.

Lynx - 4 Star - Quantum - Abundance

Somehow, her Surströmming heals.

The newest addition to the game's roster of healers, Lynx comes with strong heals, a teamwide maximum HP boost, taunt increase for Destruction and Preservation characters, and a team-wide cleanse through her ultimate.

Best Cavern Relic Set — Messenger Traversing Hackerspace

Since you want Lynx healing and cleansing as often as possible, Messenger Traversing Hackerspace is going to be her best relic pick. The teamwide speed boost from the 4 piece effect adds even more utility to her already useful ultimate.

Messenger Traversing Hackerspace Stats

• 2 piece: Increases speed by 6%.
• 4 piece: When the wearer uses their ultimate on an ally, increase speed of all allies by 12% for 1 turn. This effect cannot be stacked.

Best Planar Ornament Set — Broken Keel

Lynx has traces that can improve her effect resistance, so Broken Keel is the best Planar Ornament Set for her, allowing her to further boost her team through the crit damage boost.

Broken Keel Stats

• 2 piece: Increases the wearer's effect resistance by 10%. When the wearer's effect resistance is 30% or higher, all allies' crit damage increases by 10%.

March 7th - 4 Star - Ice - Preservation

What's wrong? Afraid of what she might do?

The adorable shielder in everyone's account, March 7th protects us with defense-scaling love and freeze upon breaking the weaknesses of enemies. There's really only one Cavern Relic set for her, as our defense-boosting options are limited.

Best Cavern Relic Set — Knight of Purity Palace

With a 2 piece set bonus that boosts her defense and a 4 piece bonus that increases the damage absorption of her shield, there's no doubt that Knight of Purity Palace is her best Cavern Relic set.

Knight of Purity Palace Stats:

• 2 piece: Increase defense by 15%.
• 4 piece: Increase the maximum damage that can be absorbed by shields created by the wearer by 20%.

Cavern of Corrosion: Path of Holy Hymn

Messenger Traversing Hackerspace Stats

• 2 piece: Increases speed by 6%.

Best Planar Ornament Set — Belobog of the Architects

Belobog of the Architects gives a defense boost outright, but gives a further defense boost with a 50% or higher effect hit rate. It may take some relic leveling to get a few effect hit rate stats, but it's worth that juicy defense boost.

Belobog of the Architects Stats

• 2 piece: Increase the wearer's defense by 15%. When the wearer's effect hit rate is 50% or higher, the wearer gains an extra 15% defense.

Natasha - 4 Star - Physical - Abundance

Because every good doctor packs heat.

Everyone's favorite mandatory shielder is followed by everyone's favorite mandatory healer, Natasha. A fairly straightforward HP scaling character with a skill that cleanses, she's a valuable member of your team and worth building.

Best Cavern Relic Set — Messenger Traversing Hackerspace

Like many other support characters, the 4 piece Messenger Traversing Hackerspace set is Natasha's best relic set thanks to its teamwide speed boost. Just remember, one four piece bonus per team, as the teamwide buff doesn't stack with itself! If your team already has a support using Messenger Traversing Hackerspace, read on for her second best set.

Messenger Traversing Hackerspace

Pela - 4 Star - Ice - Nihility

Why do big offense when you can make defense little?

Pela's kit revolves around her ability to remove buffs from enemies and hit them with a defense debuff. To maximize her utility, you want to be using her ultimate as much as possible.

Best Cavern Relic Set — Messenger Traversing Hackerspace + Hunter of Glacial Forest

It's a very close match up between the 2 piece combination of Messenger Traversing Hackerspace/Hunter of Glacial Forest and the 4 piece set Musketeer of Wild Wheat, but the Messenger combo narrowly comes out on top, as the 10% bonus to ice damage applies to all her attacks rather than just the basic attacks.

Messenger Traversing Hackerspace Stats:

• 2 piece: Increases speed by 6%.
• 4 piece: When the wearer uses their ultimate on an ally, increase speed of all allies by 12% for 1 turn. This effect cannot be stacked.

Second Best Cavern Relic Set — Musketeer of Wild Wheat

The 4 piece Musketeer of Wild Wheat set boosts Pela's speed by the exact same 6% as the 2 piece Messenger set, while boosting her basic attack by 10%. Since her attack damage is negligible anyway, the other option is better, but only marginally so.

Musketeer of Wild Wheat Stats

• 2 piece: Attack increases by 12%.
• 4 piece: The wearer's speed increases by 6% and their basic attack damage increases by 10%.

Where to find Musketeer of Wild Wheat

Pan-Galactic Commercial Enterprise Stats

• 2 piece: Increases the wearer's effect hit rate by 10%. The wearer's attack is increased by 25% of the current effect hit rate, to a maximum of 25%.

Qingque - 4 Star - Quantum - Erudition

She came here to use all your skill points and chew bubble gum, but she's all out of bubble gum.

Luofu's resident gambling goblin Qingque gets most of her attack damage through her basic attack by consuming the team's skill points. Capable of dealing out large amounts of Quantum damage, she's worth careful consideration when deciding who to build to their full potential.

Best Cavern Relic Set — Genius of Brilliant Stars

The quantum damage boost and the four piece bonus that allows you to ignore 10% of the enemy's defense fits perfectly with Qingque's hard hitting quantum basic attack.

Genius of Brilliant Stars Stats

• 2 piece: Increase quantum damage by 10%
• 4 piece: When the wearer deals damage to an enemy, ignore 10% of their defense. If the target enemy has quantum weakness, the wearer ignores an additional 10% defense.

Sampo - 4 Star - Wind - Nihility

Don't worry… to betray his customers, he charges extra.

Conman extraordinaire Sampo Koski is a Nihility character whose kit revolves around Wind Shear, a wind-based DoT. You'll want to focus on beefing up your speed and attack while making him as sturdy as possible.

Best Cavern Relic Set — Musketeer of Wild Wheat + Eagle of Twilight Line

Sampo's best Cavern Relic set is going to be a two-piece Musketeer of Wild Wheat and a two-piece Eagle of Twilight Line. The attack and wind bonus combined will benefit his damage the most.

Musketeer of Wild Wheat Stats

• 2 piece: Attack increases by 12%.

Serval - 4 Star - Lightning - Erudition

When asked if she wanted to wear a lab coat or a rock star outfit, Serval said yes.

Serval is an Erudition character with a slightly shocking touch to her kit, allowing her to function as either a DPS or a sub-DPS. As Baby's First Lightning Character, she's worth some attention when building your roster.

Best Cavern Relic Set — Band of Sizzling Thunder

Like with most Lightning DPS characters, the boost to lightning damage and the attack boost upon using the character's skill is too good to pass up for Serval enthusiasts.

Sushang - 4 Star - Physical - Hunt

Don't worry, I have no intention of referring to her as 'plucky.'

Spunky Chicken-Gal Sushang is a straightforward physical DPS — simply give her some attack, speed, and crit stats and watch her go.

Best Cavern Relic Set — Champion of Streetwise Boxing

With a physical damage boost and an attack buff to boot, Champion of Streetwise Boxing is going to be Sushang's best Cavern Relic set.

Tingyun - 4 Star - Lightning - Harmony

The apparent aggro of a Preservation character with the health of an attack-scaling Harmony character.

Tingyun, beautiful battery that she is, helps any team with her offensive buffs and energy regeneration. With unique benefits to offer as a support, she definitely deserves the most suitable relics for her kit.

Best Cavern Relic Set — Messenger Traversing Hackerspace

As with most supports, Tingyun's best Cavern Relic set is going to be Messenger Traversing Hackerspace. The personal speed boost and teamwide speed boost are hard to pass up.

Messenger Traversing Hackerspace Stats

Best Cavern Relic Set — Champion of Streetwise Boxing

Like other physical DPS characters, Physical Trailblazer's best relic set is going to be Champion of Streetwise Boxing, thanks to its physical damage boost and attack boost.

Champion of Streetwise Boxing Stats

• 2 piece: Increase physical damage by 10%.
• 4 piece: After the wearer attacks or is hit, their attack increases by 5% for the rest of the battle. This effect can stack up to five times.

Second Best Cavern Relic Set — Musketeer of Wild Wheat

The attack and speed boost you receive from Musketeer of Wild Wheat is more than enough to tie you over until you have some good Champion pieces.

Musketeer of Wild Wheat Stats

• 2 piece: Attack increases by 12%.
• 4 piece: The wearer's speed increases by 6% and their basic attack damage increases by 10%.

Best Planar Ornament Set — Rutilant Arena

Being a DPS, Physical Trailblazer should be built with crit stats in mind. As such, Rutilant Arena is going to be their best option.

Rutilant Arena Stats

• 2 piece: Increases the wearer's crit rate by 8%. When the wearer's current crit rate is 70% or higher, the wearer's basic attack and skill damage increase by 20%.

Fire Trailblazer - 5 Star - Fire - Preservation

Put your best lance forward.

Our main character (with a proper weapon this time) but with a protective twist. With a taunt and some shielding power, you'll want to make sure they can survive the enemy onslaught.

Best Cavern Relic Set — Knight of Purity Palace

With a defense boost and extra shield power, Knight of Purity Palace is going to be the first pick for any well-equipped Fire Trailblazer.

Knight of Purity Palace Stats

• 2 piece: Increase defense by 15%.
• 4 piece: Increase the maximum damage that can be absorbed by shields created by the wearer by 20%.

Second Best Cavern Relic Set — Guard of Wuthering Snow

Providing damage reduction and some self-heal, Guard of Wuthering Snow is a good, albeit slightly lagging option behind Knight of Purity Palace.

Guard of Wuthering Snow Stats

• 2 piece: Reduces damage taken by 8%.
• 4 piece: At the beginning of the turn, if the wearer's HP is 50% or less, restores HP equal to 8% of max HP and regenerates 5 energy.

• Cavern of Corrosion: Path of Providence

Best Planar Ornament Set — Fleet of the Ageless

This Planar Ornament set provides some much needed HP to help Fire Trailblazer survive, along with a teamwide attack buff that's easier to unlock than the extra defense buff of Belobog of the Architects.

Fleet of the Ageless Stats

• 2 piece: Increases the wearer's max HP by 12%. When the wearer's speed reaches 120 or higher, increase all allies' attack by 8%.

Welt - 5 Star - Imaginary - Nihility

Arahato haters DNI, thanks.

As the Astral Express' resident Grandpa and relic expert, you'll want to make sure Welt is equipped for the job. He's fairly straightforward to build, but you'll want to take full advantage of his skill and ultimate slowing and imprisoning enemies.

Best Cavern Relic Set — Wastelander of Banditry Desert

With a four-piece set that gives a crit rate bonus upon attacking debuffed enemies and a crit damage bonus upon attacking imprisoned enemies, no self respecting Welt would be caught without this relic set.

Wastelander of Banditry Desert Stats

• 2 piece: Increase imaginary damage by 10%.
• 4 piece: When attacking debuffed enemies, the wearer's crit rate increases by 10%. The wearer's crit damage increases by 20% against imprisoned enemies.

• Cavern of Corrosion: Path of Conflagration

Second Best Cavern Relic Set — Musketeer of Wild Wheat + Wastelander of Banditry Desert

While not nearly as good as the four-piece mentioned above, the two-piece Musketeer/Wastelander combo still holds up during your hunt for better pieces.

Musketeer of Wild Wheat Stats

• 2 piece: Attack increases by 12%.
• 4 piece: The wearer's speed increases by 6% and their basic attack damage increases by 10%.

Best Planar Ornament Set — Pan-Galactic Commercial Enterprise

As with many Nihility characters, Pan-Galactic Commercial Enterprise is going to be Welt's best pick, to take advantage of the effect hit rate that you should definitely be building.

Pan-Galactic Commercial Enterprise Stats

• 2 piece: Increases the wearer's effect hit rate by 10%. The wearer's attack is increased by 25% of the current effect hit rate, to a maximum of 25%.

• World 5 of Simulated Universe

 

Yanqing - 5 Star - Ice - Hunt

Pls don't bully him :(

The last character on the list, Yanqing, is another straightforward DPS character with some follow-up damage to boot. Maximize his attack, crit stats, and ice damage for best results. After beating him up so many times throughout the story, it's the least you can do if he's on your roster.

Best Cavern Relic Set — Hunter of Glacial Forest

Easily Yanqing's best option, this set will boost his ice damage and his crit damage upon using his ultimate.

Hunter of Glacial Forest Stats

• 2 piece: Increases ice damage by 10%.
• 4 piece: After the wearer uses their ultimate, their crit damage increases by 25% for 2 turns.

Where to find Hunter of Glacial Forest

• Cavern of Corrosion: Path of Gelid Wind

Second Best Cavern Relic Set — Musketeer of Wild Wheat

Until you're able to get four good pieces of Hunter of Glacial Forest, Musketeer's attack and speed boost should be more than enough to get your Yanqing by.

Musketeer of Wild Wheat Stats

• 2 piece: Attack increases by 12%.
• 4 piece: The wearer's speed increases by 6% and their basic attack damage increases by 10%.

Where to find Musketeer of Wild Wheat

• Cavern of Corrosion: Path of Drifting

Best Planar Ornament Set — Inert Salsotto

Not only could Yanqing use the crit rate from this set, but if you manage to build his crit rate high enough, the ultimate and follow-up attack damage boost is incredible for him.

Inert Salsotto Stats

• 2 piece: Increases the wearer's crit rate by 8%. When the wearer's current crit rate is 50% or higher, the wearer's ultimate and follow-up damage increases by 15%.

• World 6 of Simulated Universe

 

With so many different relics and new characters being released regularly, it can be hard to stay on top of what characters work best with which relics. Now that you're equipped with some basic knowledge on every character, why not take a second look at your roster? You may have a diamond of a character hidden in the rough of the unbuilt.
