by Hook is a character in Honkai Star Rail ‘s Path of Destruction who, as is often the case with characters in this path, can deal decent damage to both single enemies and multiple enemies. Of course he without reaching the level of the specialized Ways such as the Hunting for Single Target or the Erudition for the Multi Target .
It has decent damage, but where it stands out the most is for doing a lot of burns. In addition, he is the typical character who also boosts his damage and obtains other types of benefits for attacking enemies that have the Burn state, so it will be very helpful for us to apply this altered state.
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 Hook will have at the maximum level:
- HP: 1340
- ATK: 617
- DEF: 352
- SPD: 94
They are quite meh Attributes, it only stands out for its PV that the truth is that they are very high; especially considering that he is a 4 star character.
In the other statistics quite bad. The ATK that is in the middle is saved a bit, which for a character that pretends to be a DPS, the truth is that it is quite little. The DEF is lousy, so it’s a bit papery; and to finish we have the VEL is also quite low.
HOOK’S ABILITIES
These are all of Hook’s Skills. The numbers/percentages are what you have at the lowest level:
BASIC ATK: HEY, DON’T GET BURNED!
Deal 50% Fire Damage to a single enemy of your choice.
BASIC ABILITY: HEY, DO YOU REMEMBER HOOK?
- Basic Skill Point Consumption: 1
Deals 120% Fire Damage to an enemy with a 100% chance to burn them for 2 turns. The burn will deal 25% Fire Damage to you at the start of your turn.
When we empower this Skill ( by rolling the Ultimate ), we will instead deal 140% Fire Damage (it can also burn) and also 40% Fire Damage to enemies adjacent to our target.
ULTIMATE ABILITY: BOOM! HERE COMES THE FIRE!
- Energy Cost: 120
240% Fire Damage to one enemy and will boost Basic Ability for the next use.
TALENT: HA! WOOD TO THE FIRE!
When attacking a burned enemy, we will do an Extra Attack of 50% Fire Damage and we will also recover 5 additional energy points (for Hook).
TECHNIQUE: WOW, WHAT A MESS!
We will deal 50% Fire Damage to a random enemy and there will be a 100% chance to burn each of the enemies for 3 turns. Burn is 50% Fire Damage.
ADDITIONAL SKILLS
We can unlock them in the Strokes upon reaching a certain Ascension Level.
- Ascension Level 2 – Innocence
- We restore 5% of HP when activating the Talent, which comes in handy for the aforementioned issue of her being a bit of paper.
- Ascension Level 4 – Naivety
- +35% chance to resist control effects (whatever stuns or slows you).
- Ascension Level 6 – Playing with Fire
- By using the Ultimate we will advance the next action of Hook by 20% and we will recover 5 energy points.
EIDOLON
These are the improvements that the character obtains through the Eidolon:
- E1 – Go to bed early : The empowered Basic Ability (the next one after rolling the Ultimate) deals 20% more damage.
- E2 – Happy belly, happy person : Increases the duration of the Burn applied by the Basic Ability by 1 turn.
- E3 – Nothing to choose : +2 levels to Basic Ability and +1 to Basic Attack.
- E4 – It’s okay if you don’t know : 100% chance to burn enemies adjacent to a burned enemy when activating the Talent.
- E5 – Let everyone know about the exploits of the moles : +2 levels to the Ultimate Ability and +2 to the Talent.
- E6 – Always ready to kick ass : +20% damage to enemies affected by Burn.
The Eidolons are not bad since the vast majority revolve around improving Burns or the damage we do to burned enemies; they are quite good if we compare them with those of other 4-star characters.
BEST HOOK BUILD
We will be focusing on buffing his damage and also increasing his chance to apply Burn as this is one of his biggest sources of damage.
BEST LIGHT CONES
These are the best Hook Light Cones ordered 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.
- Something Irreplaceable ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: +24% ATK and when receiving damage or eliminating an enemy we will heal 8% of ATK as Life and increase Damage by +24% until the end of its next turn (only 1 time per turn ).
- About the Fall of an Aeon ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: +8% ATK each time you make an attack for the entire battle and maximum 4 stacks. Breaking an enemy’s weakness also increases damage by 12% for 2 turns.
- Wow! Time to Walk! ⭐⭐⭐⭐: +10% ATK and +16% Damage to enemies affected by Burn or Bleed; the effect is also valid for Damage Over Time.
- Moles Welcome You ⭐⭐⭐⭐: +12% ATK when using Basic ATK, Basic Ability or Ultimate Ability; each of these 3 provides the bonus independently.
- Under Blue Sky ⭐⭐⭐⭐: +16% ATK and +12% CRIT Chance when defeating an enemy for 3 turns.
BEST ARTIFACTS AND ORNAMENTS
We will start with the Artifacts and Ornaments. These are the statistics that we recommend for each piece in order to maximize its damage.
- Torso : CRIT Chance / CRIT Damage.
- Legs : SPEED.
- Plane Sphere : Fire Damage.
- Union Rope : Energy Recovery.
Regarding the substats:
- Effect Hit.

His best Artifact Set is as follows:
Lava Smith
- 2 pieces: +10% Fire Damage.

Your Best Ornament Set:

- 2 pieces: +12% ATK and +12% bonus ATK if character has 120 or more Speed.
With our Build you will reach the necessary Speed more than enough, so we will get a lot of ATK.
