Honkai Star Rail Dahlia Build Guide

Best Relic Set for The Dahlia

In the following part of the Honkai Star Rail Dahlia Build, we will break down everything from the best Relics set to her BIS Lightcone.

According to her kit, these two are her best Relic Set options, and they are:

• Iron Cavalry Against the Scourge
• Thief of Shooting Meteor

Iron Cavalry Against the Scourge

This is the best option for the best The Dahlia build, as the 2-pc set effect can boost her Break Effect, while the 4-pc will let the wearer ignore their foe's DEF when the Break Effect stat reaches a certain limit. And as the Dahlia can deal massive Break DMG, this certain relic set will be her BIS.

While you farm for The Dahlia, how about earning some free drops while your fights are in auto mode?

Thief of Shooting Meteor

This is an alternate Relic set option, and it offers quite straightforward buffs. If used, then the 2-pc set effect will provide a decent Break Effect boost, while the 4-pc set will provide Energy Regeneration. But we would advise sticking with the other one.

Best Planar Ornament set for The Dahlia

The two best options for her are:

• Talia: Kingdom of Banditry
• Forge of the Kalpagni Lantern

Talia: Kingdom of Banditry

This set is probably the best one you can go for The Dahlia, as it can boost the Break Effect stat of the new Nihility unit by a massive amount.

Forge of the Kalpagni Lantern

This is an alternate set that also works quite well with her kit. This one can provide a SPD boost by 6%, which is very helpful for The Dahlia, and can buff her Break Effect stat if she attacks a foe who has Fire Weakness. In fact, as she will primarily be paired with Firefly, she can use this effect quite easily.

Best Stats for The Dahlia

Main Stats

• Body: HP% / DEF%
• Boots: SPD
• Planar Sphere: HP% / DEF%
• Planar Rope: Break Effect / Energy Regeneration Rate
• Sub-Stats: Break Effect, SPD, HP, Effect Hit Rate

Trace Priority

Passive Talent > Ultimate> Skill> Basic ATK

Try to prioritize the traces in this way while building her.

Best Light Cones for The Dahlia

She has quite a few options in case of Light Cones, and those are:

• Never Forget Her Flame (Signature)
• Long Road Leads Home
• Lies Dance on the Breeze
• Before the Tutorial Mission Starts (4-star)

The Dahlia's signature Light Cone is her BIS as its passive can buff her Break Effect and the DMG output of another ally who started the fight. The other two 5-star Lightcone, which happen to be the signature options of Fugue, and Cipher, provide some decent buffs for The Dahlia. Fugue's LC grants the user Break Effect boost and makes the foes take more Break DMG whenever their weakness bar gets broken, while Cipher's LC helps to lower the enemies' DEF stats when you hit the target.

These 5-star options are amazing, but what do you do if you don't have enough Stellar Jades for these premium options?

Well, for the F2P build, go with Before the Tutorial Mission Starts; it's the best 4-star LC that you can use with The Dahlia. This LC is also easily accessible, as it can be purchased from the Herta Store. The LC will allow the user to use their Ultimate more frequently, as it will regenerate Energy whenever the user hits a debuffed target.

Best Teams for The Dahlia in Honkai Star Rail 3.8

Most of the teams revolving around The Dahlia will be the ones that can dish out massive Super Break DMG, which will also revive some of the community's favourite old DPS, such as Firefly and Rappa. And due to such a unique kit of The Dahlia, the following comps are the best that can fully utilize her buffs:

• Firefly+ The Dahlia+ Fugue+ Lingsha
• Rappa+ The Dahlia+ Fugue+ Lingsha
• Boothill+ The Dahlia+ Ruan Mei+ Lingsha
• The Dahlia+ Himeko+ Trailblazer(Harmony)+ Gallagher (F2P)

Although limited to teams that can deal Super Break DMG, it doesn't mean she is not in the meta. All you need to do is find out the right pieces that will synergize well with her kit.

That's all you need to build the best version of The Dahlia, and while you decide which Light Cone to pair with her, how about you check out our Star Rail page to stay updated on future leaks and news?
