by Himeko is a five-star character belonging to the Path of Lore in Honkai Star Rail . This character is part of the crew and works as a restorer within the Astral Express, we can see her whenever we want in the Panoramic Car with Pom-Pom.
Both his Ultimate Ability and the Extra Attacks it produces hit all enemies on the field at once, while the Basic Ability will only hit the target and enemies adjacent to it. The good thing is that in general his abilities produce quite decent damage, but on the other hand, he makes very few additional attacks to be an Erudite character since he needs to get three charges to launch an additional attack (we’ll explain it better below). .
With that said, let’s go with his complete analysis and with his best Build , Artifacts, Ornaments and that kind of thing.
ATTRIBUTES OR STATS
These are the Attributes or Stats that Himeko will have at the maximum level:
- HP: 1047
- ATK: 756
- DEF: 436
- SPD: 96
A very good point of Himeko’s stats is her Base ATK, since this parameter is quite high on her; however, the SPD and DEF are a bit lacking to make up for it and the amount of Max HP it has at its max level is acceptable.
HIMEKO’S ABILITIES
These are all of Himeko’s Skills. The numbers/percentages are what you have at the lowest level:
BASIC ATK: SAW TUNE
Deal 50% Fire Damage to a single enemy of your choice.
BASIC SKILL: FLUID DETONATION
- Basic Skill Point Consumption: 1
Himeko will attack dealing 100% of her ATK as Fire Damage to the selected target and 40% to enemies adjacent to said target.
ULTIMATE SKILL: HEAVENLY FLAMES
- Energy Cost: 120
An area attack that affects all enemies on the field, dealing 138% of Himeko’s ATK as Fire Damage.
TALENT: VICTORY RUN
When Himeko enters battle and every time an enemy suffers a Weakness Break , she will accumulate a charge to activate this Talent (maximum charges would be 3).
Once she manages to store 3 charges and an ally makes any attack, Himeko will execute an additional attack that will hit all enemies on the battlefield for 70% of their ATK as Fire Damage; by doing this, Himeko will lose all the charges he has accumulated.
TECHNIQUE: INCOMPLETE COMBUSTION
This Technique is used to create a special field before entering combat, this field causes enemies that have come into contact with this field to have a 100% base chance of taking 10% more damage when hit with Fire elemental attacks. for 2 turns.
Only one special field can be created at a time, so Himeko’s Technique could not be used at the same time that we use, for example, Welt’s special field.
ADDITIONAL SKILLS
We can unlock them in the Strokes upon reaching a certain Ascension Level.
- Ascension Level 2 – Starfire
- Every time Himeko attacks an enemy we will have a base chance of 50% to inflict Burn for 2 turns to the targets of said attack. Enemies affected by Burn will take 30% of Himeko’s ATK as Fire Damage.
- Ascension Tier 4 – Magma
- Himeko’s Basic Ability will now deal +20% damage against enemies that are affected by Burn.
- Ascension Level 6 – The Standard
- If Himeko is at 80% of her HP or higher, she will gain 15% CRIT Chance.
EIDOLON
These are the improvements that the character obtains through the Eidolon:
- E1 – Childhood : Each time Himeko’s Talent activates, her SPD will increase by 20% for 2 turns.
- E2 – Convergence : When the target of Himeko’s attacks has 50% or less of her HP, she will take 15% more damage.
- E3 – Resolve : +2 levels to Basic Ability and +1 to Basic Attack.
- E4 – Dedication : Every time Himeko produces a Weakness Break with her Basic Ability, she will gain an additional charge to activate her Talent (in addition to the one she already gains by performing the break).
- E5 – Aspirations : +2 levels to Ultimate Ability and +2 to Talent.
- E6 – Tracing Paths : Himeko’s Ultimate hits enemies two more times, but it will no longer be in an area, each hit will choose a single target randomly and the damage dealt by these hits will be 40% of the original damage dealt by Himeko’s Ultimate.
They are not some Eidolons that change the character a lot, they increase the damage produced by Himeko a little and improve her performance a little. E1 and E4 are perhaps the most interesting because the first one increases our SPD to advance Himeko’s turns and the other will make Himeko’s additional attacks happen a little more frequently.
HIMEKO’S BEST BUILD
It is not a character that has much mystery when it comes to building it, we will simply focus on increasing the damage produced by its abilities.
BEST LIGHT CONES
These are the best Light Cones for Himeko sorted from best to worst (they all come highly recommended anyway) and trying to add both 5-star and 4-star options. Here we will list the effects in Level 1 Overlay.
- Night in the Milky Way ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: +9% ATK for each enemy on the battlefield (5 stacks max). If an enemy is affected by a Weakness Break, the damage of the bearer of this Cone of Light will be increased by 30% for 1 turn.
- Before Dawn ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: +36% CRIT Damage and +18% Basic Ability and Ultimate Ability damage.

- The Solemnity of Breakfast ⭐⭐⭐⭐: +12% to the total damage produced by the wearer, also every time it eliminates an enemy, its ATK will increase by 4% (maximum 3 stacks).
BEST ARTIFACTS AND ORNAMENTS
We will start with the Artifacts and Ornaments. Mainly what we are looking for in Himeko is to increase the area of damage she does, so we will build her based on this premise.
- Torso : CRIT Chance / CRIT Damage.
- Legs : SPEED.
- Plane Sphere : Fire Damage.
- Binding Rope : ATK % / Energy Recovery.
Regarding the substats:
- Prob. CRIT.
- Critical damage.
- ATK%

- Effect Break.
His best Artifact Set is as follows:
Lava Smith

Your Best Ornament Set:
Fleet of the Eternals
- 2 pieces: +12% ATK and +12% bonus ATK if character has 120 or more Speed.
By equipping an artifact with SPD as the main stat on the legs, we won’t have any trouble getting 120 Speed points on Himeko in order to get a +24% bonus to ATK thanks to this set of ornaments.
