by Argenti is a five-star Honkai Star Rail character of the Physical type who belongs to the Path of Erudite. Despite this, he is one of the few characters in this Path who does not generate Additional Attacks and instead, his main source of damage is his Ultimate Skill.
Its most striking peculiarity is the fact that it can use its Ultimate Skill in two ways: the first consumes 90 energy points and the second 180. In this way, we can increase the damage that this skill inflicts by the amount of energy we spend.
Depending on the amount of HP the enemy has left, it may be better for us to use this ability with one or two charges, but generally we will want to throw it with the maximum possible energy. Therefore, we will need to help him with characters that provide him with energy or increase his SPD to speed up his actions.
Furthermore, something relevant to mention about this character is that despite belonging to the Path of Erudite (which stands out for its Multi Target damage ), it also has very good damage against single enemies, especially through its Ultimate.
ATTRIBUTES OR STATISTICS
These are the Attributes or Stats that Argenti will have at the highest level (80):
- HP: 1048
- ATK: 737
- DEF: 364
- SPD: 103
- Taunt: 75
In general, it doesn’t have incredible statistics but they aren’t bad either. He especially excels in his Base Attack and his SPD isn’t bad either, but to compensate for this, he has an extremely low Base Defense.
ARGENTI SKILLS
These are all Argenti’s Skills. The numbers/percentages are the ones at the lowest level:
BASIC ATK: FLEETING FRAGRANCE
- Energy Recovery: 20
- Weakness Break: 30
Deal 50% of Argenti’s ATK as Physical Damage to a single enemy of your choice.
BASIC SKILL: BLOOM OF JUSTICE
- Basic Skill Point Consumption: 1
- Energy Recovery: 30
- Weakness Break: 30
This Basic Skill will generate an area attack that will hit all enemies on the field, dealing 60% of Argenti’s ATK as Physical Damage.
ULTIMATE SKILL: THIS GARDEN GRANTS SUPREME BEAUTY
- Energy Cost: 90
- Energy Recovery: 5
- Weakness Break: 60
Consume 90 points of Argenti’s energy to deal 96% of his ATK as Physical Damage to all enemies on the field.
ULTIMATE SKILL: AWARDED MERIT IN “MY” GARDEN
- Energy Cost: 180
- Energy Recovery: 5
- Weakness Break: Individual ATK 15/ Area ATK 60
In this other version of his Ultimate Skill, we will consume double the energy to launch a more powerful area attack that will deal 168% of Argenti’s ATK as Physical Damage to all enemies on the field.
Additionally, a single attack will also activate that hits random enemies six times, dealing an amount of Physical Damage equal to 57% of Argenti’s ATK for each hit. The good thing about this is that if we are facing a single enemy, he will eat all the hits and therefore receive a lot of damage.
TALENT: SUBLIME ITEM
Each enemy hit by Argenti when he uses his Basic Attack, his Basic Skill or his Ultimate Skill will grant him 3 energy points and 1 stack of an effect called Lift.
Each accumulation of this effect will provide 1% to your Critical Chance , and can be accumulated a maximum of 10 times.
TECHNIQUE: MANIFESTO OF PURE VIRTUE
When using this Technique, Argenti will affect nearby enemies with an effect called Dizziness, which will prevent them from attacking us directly for 10 seconds.
If we enter combat against an enemy that is under the states of Dizziness, all enemies on the battlefield will receive 80% of Argenti’s ATK as Physical Damage and he will recover 15 energy points.
TRACE SKILLS
We can unlock them in the Traces when we reach a certain Ascension Level.
- Ascension Level 2 – Devotion
- At the beginning of Argenti’s turn, he will directly receive a stack of Lift.
- Ascension Level 4 – Generosity
- When the enemy enters combat, Argenti recovers 2 energy points.
- Ascension Level 6 – Bravery
- If Argenti hits an enemy whose HP is at 50% or less, they will take 15% more damage.
EIDOLON
These are the improvements that the character obtains through the Eidolon:
- E1 – The Rift of the Realm of Aesthetics : Each stack of Lift increases Argenti’s Critical Damage by an additional 4%.
- E2 – Agate’s Humility : If Argenti hits 3 or more enemies when casting his Ultimate Skill, his ATK will increase by 40% for 1 turn.
- E3 – Glory of the Path of Thorns : +2 levels to Basic Skill and Talent.

- E5 – Snow Somewhere in the Universe : +2 levels to the Ultimate Skill and +1 level to the Basic Attack.
- E6 – “Your” Radiance : When Argenti uses his Ultimate Skill, he ignores 30% of the DEF of enemies hit.
ARGENTI’S BEST BUILD
Argenti is another of the many characters in this game who occupy the DPS role , so we will look for the typical statistics that allow us to increase his damage as much as possible.
BEST LIGHT CONES
These are the best Light Cones for Argenti ordered from best to worst (they are all highly recommended anyway) and trying to add both 5 star and 4 star options. Here we will list the effects in Level 1 Overlay.
Moment Engraved on Fire
+36% Critical Damage. +0.36% Ultimate Skill damage per point of Maximum Energy (180 points maximum).
Before dawn
+36% CRIT Damage and +8% Damage from Basic Skill and Ultimate Skill. When using the Basic or Ultimate Skill, increases the Damage of the wielder’s next Additional Attack by 48%.
Night in the Milky Way
+9% ATK for each enemy on the battlefield (maximum 5 stacks). +30% Damage for 1 turn if an enemy is affected by Weakness Break.
Today is Another Quiet Day
+0.2% Damage for each point of the wearer’s Maximum Energy up to a maximum of 160 points.
Let the World Cry
Restores 20 Energy Points when entering battle. +32% Ultimate Skill Damage.
The Solemnity of Breakfast
+12% Damage. Each time the wielder kills an enemy, their ATK will increase by 4% (maximum 3 stacks).
BEST ARTIFACTS AND ORNAMENTS
We will start with the Artifacts and Ornaments. These are the statistics that we recommend in each piece to maximize the character’s damage.
- Torso : CRIT Damage or CRIT Prob.
- Legs : SPEED.
- Plane Sphere : Physical Damage.
- Binding Rope : ATK% / Energy Recovery.
The substats :
- CRIT Damage
- Prob. CRIT.
- ATK%.
- VEL.
- Breakup Effect .
As for artifact sets, the following would be your best option:
Street Boxing Champion
2 Pieces: +10% Physical Damage. 4 Pieces: +5% ATK when attacking or receiving an attack. Can be accumulated up to 5 times.
This Artifact Set will be the one that allows us to enhance Argenti’s damage the most, since apart from giving him a bonus to the Physical Damage Bonus, it will allow him to receive a bonus of up to +25% to ATK that will last the entire battle.
Their best Ornament Sets are the following:
Glamoth, Front of the Firmament
+12% ATK and +12%/+18% Damage if SPD is greater than 135/160.
It will undoubtedly be the best option to enhance the damage produced by Argenti’s skills, but to achieve at least the +12% damage increase we will need to equip him with SPD boots. Of course, if we want to get the maximum damage bonus that this set provides, we would have to accompany it with a Support that can increase its Speed.
Inert Sausage
+8% CRIT Prob. When CRIT Prob. ≥ 50%, +15% damage to Ultimate Skill and Additional Attacks.
It is another option that is also great for you, since on the one hand it gives you a little Critical Chance and on the other hand, it will increase the damage of the Ultimate Skill by 15%, something that is very convenient for us in Argent, since his Ultimate Skill is his main source of damage.
BEST TEAMMATES
As we mentioned before, Argenti’s Ultimate Skill has an extremely high energy cost, so his best companions will be those who can help him recover energy and those who can advance his actions. That said, we show you the characters that in our opinion are his best teammates:
