Guinaifen<\/a> is a four-star Quantum Element Nihility Path character who will be arriving in Honkai Star Rail <\/a>1.4. While many players thought it would be Xueyi<\/a> coming in patch 1.4, HoYovers pulled the rug out from under them and officially revealed Guinaifen. She is a powerful damage dealer that can burn enemies, inflicting them with DoT debuffs.<\/p>\n

Players will want to focus on Guinaifen’s damage and her Effect Hit Rate in order to ensure that she can land multiple debuffs on enemies and deal tons of damage. <\/p>\n

Honkai Star Rail: Best Guinaifen Build<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"NPC_Guinaifen_Teaser.jpg\"

HoYoverse hasn’t revealed all the details about Guinaifen, but based on her leaked abilities, we can say that she is a powerful damage dealer. <\/p>\n

Best Light Cone<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Eyes of the Prey will likely be the best-suited Light Cone for Guinaifen, as it will increase both her potential DoT and her Effect Hit Rate.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, In the Name of the World is another great option for Guinaifen, as it will increase her damage to debuffed enemies while also increasing her Effect Hit Rate and ATK.<\/p>\n

Because Guinaifen is a four-star character and not a five-star character, she will not be receiving a dedicated signature Light Cone like other five-star characters. This means players should equip the existing Nihility Light Cones to see which ones work best for them. <\/p>\n

Here are some decent options to consider when equipping Guinaifen with a Light Cone. <\/p>\n

Eyes of the Prey<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Increases the wearer’s Effect Hit Rate by 20% and increases DoT by 24%.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    In the Name off the World<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Increases the wearer’s DMG to debuffed enemies by 24%. When the wearer uses their Skill, the Effect Hit Rate for this attack increases by 18%, and ATK increases by 24%.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \"Honkai
      Use Guinaifen with characters like Kafka. (Picture: HoYoverse)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

      Best Relics<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      Firesmith of Lave Forging (4-piece) is the best Relic set for Guinaifen, but if you don’t have it, you can go with Musketeer of Wild Wheat (4-piece).<\/p>\n

      Firesmith of Lava Forging<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      • \n

        2-Piece Bonus:<\/strong> Increases Fire DMG by 10%.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        4-Piece Bonus:<\/strong> Increases the wearer’s Skill DMG by 12%. After unleashing Ultimate, increases the wearer’s Fire DMG by 12% for the next attack.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Mukseteer of Wild Wheat<\/strong><\/p>\n

          \n
        • \n

          2-Piece Bonus:<\/strong> ATK increases by 12%.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        • \n

          4-Piece Bonus:<\/strong> The wearer’s SPD increases by 6%, and Basic ATK DMG increases by 10%.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          And that is the best build for Guinaifen in Honkai Star Rail, including her best Light Cones and her best Relics. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
