Honkai: Star Rail<\/a> features tons of amazing characters. Serval is a four-star Lightning Element Erudition character that players can obtain for free at the start of the game. Because of this, it is wise to start investing in her, as she will help players clear much of the early game content. <\/p>\n

As an Erudition character, Serval is adept at dealing with large waves of enemies. So, it is essential to not only upgrade her to the highest level but also use the best Light Cones and Relics to make her stronger and get the best out of her.<\/p>\n

So, if you are interested in building Serval, you’ve come to the right place. This article will cover everything you need to know about the best Serval build, including Relics, Planar Ornaments, Light Cones, and more.<\/p>\n

As mentioned, Serval is an AOE damage dealer who can also inflict Shock on enemies with her abilities. <\/p>\n

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

The best Light Cone for Serval is Jing Yuan’s signature Light Cone, Before Dawn, which is an excellent choice for any Erudition character. <\/p>\n

However, if you decided to skip Jing Yuan’s Light Cone or were just unlucky enough not to acquire it, we will also provide some alternative Light Cones that can be used below. <\/p>\n

Before Dawn: <\/strong><\/p>\n

Increases the wearer’s CRIT DMG by 36%. Increases the wearer’s Skill and Ultimate DMG by 18%. After the wearer uses their Skill or Ultimate, they gain Somnus Corpus. Upon triggering a follow-up attack, Somnus Corpus will be consumed and the follow-up attack DMG increases by 48%.<\/p>\n
