by Topaz and Conti are a dual character unit in Honkai Star Rail that belong to the Fire element and specifically, the Way of the Hunt. Despite this, they get along very well on teams that contain characters that perform Additional Attacks, since everything around them revolves around these types of attacks.
In principle, Topaz is very similar to Jing Juan, since Conti is an invocation that works similarly to this character’s Golden Knight. The biggest difference between the two is that Topaz and Conti belong to the Way of the Hunt, therefore, the damage from their abilities will only affect a single enemy and will not be in the area as would be the case with Jing Yuan.
Despite this, this couple will inflict quite decent damage and the best of all is that they produce a special status on enemies that will increase the damage received from Additional Attacks, so they will be a very good complement for most of the characters that belong to the Way of Erudition.
Honestly, Topaz seems like a wonderful character to me, both in the design of her skills, aesthetically, and the uses she has outside the battlefield seem very interesting to me (she can even help us get Credits for the face), so I really highly recommend Include this pair in your character template.
ATTRIBUTES OR STATISTICS
These are the Attributes or Stats that Topaz and Conti will have at the maximum level (80):
- HP: 931
- ATK: 621
- DEF: 412
- SPEED: 110
- Taunt: 75
Her statistics do not convince me much, since although she has a fairly high SPD and a Base ATK that is not bad, these two parameters are the ones in which she stands out the most and despite this she is surpassed by Seele in both statistics, which The only way Topaz surpasses it is that it has a slightly higher Base DEF.
TOPAZ ABILITIES
These are all of Topaz’s Skills. The numbers/percentages are the ones at the lowest level:
BASIC ATK: DEFICIT
- Energy Recovery: 20
- Weakness Break: 30
Deals Fire Damage based on 50% of its ATK to a single target.
BASIC SKILL: PAYMENT PROBLEMS?
- Basic Skill Point Consumption: 1
- Energy Recovery: 30
- Weakness Break: 60
When using this Basic Skill, Topaz will launch Conti, causing an Additional Attack to an enemy, inflicting Fire Damage proportional to 75% of Topaz’s ATK. Additionally, said enemy will be marked by the status called Certificate of Debt , which will cause the target to receive 25% more damage when receiving Additional Attacks.
Certificate of Debt can only affect a single enemy at a time, so if we use the Basic Skill on another enemy when one is already affected, we will remove the Certificate of Debt on the enemy that was already affected. The best thing is that if at the beginning of the turn or during an ally’s action there are no enemies affected by the Certificate of Debt, Topaz will automatically apply it to a random enemy.
ULTIMATE SKILL: FROM LOSS TO GAIN
- Energy Cost: 130
- Energy Recovery: 5
- Weakness Break: 0
This Ultimate Skill only serves to buff Conti and does no damage. When cast, Conti will enter a special state called Incredible Rise, in which he will boost his damage multiplier by 75% and increase his Critical Damage by 12.5% .
It will also advance its action by 50% if an enemy marked by a Certificate of Debt takes damage from a Basic Attack, a Basic Skill, or an Ultimate Skill. The buff from this Ultimate Skill will only last for the next 2 attacks Conti makes after using it.
TALENT: DIAGONALIST MARKET?!
This Talent will summon Conti at the beginning of each battle, this ally will have 80 Speed points by default and his attacks are considered Additional Attacks. Conti will attack only the enemy affected by Certificate of Debt and will deal damage equal to 75% of Topaz’s ATK.
When an enemy marked by Certificate of Debt receives an attack from a Conti ally, the latter’s action will be advanced by 50% (this cannot be activated during Conti’s own turn). If Topaz is defeated in combat, Conti will disappear from the battlefield.
TECHNIQUE: EXPLICIT SUBSIDY
It is definitely one of the most useful Techniques in the game, since simply by driving Topaz around the map we will have Conti at our side, who will look for Normal Treasures and Pigs that are in a certain area, so it can help us a lot to the time to complete the exploration of different maps.
By proactively using this Technique to enter battle, Topaz will regain 60 energy points when Conti makes her first attack. Additionally, if the battle is overcome, we will earn a small amount of Credits, we can get up to 10,000 Credits daily in this way.
As if that were not enough, if we use this Technique in the Simulated Universe, we will earn some extra cosmic fragments by winning a battle and we will also have a small chance of obtaining a Rare Item .

EIDOLON
These are the improvements that the character obtains through the Eidolon:
- E1 – The Market of Tomorrow : When an enemy marked by the Certificate of Debt effect receives an Additional Attack, it acquires an additional state called Indebtedness in which the Critical Damage of the Additional Attacks with which it is hit will increase by +25% enemy (this effect can stack up to 2 times). If Certificate of Debt dissipates, the effects of Indebtedness as well.

THE BEST TOPAZ AND CONTI BUILD
Although Topaz has characteristics with which she can support other characters who make Additional Attacks, what interests us most is boosting her offensive statistics to improve her personal damage as much as possible.
BEST LIGHT CONES
These are the best Light Cones for Topaz and Conti 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.
- Worries and Happiness ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: +18% to CRIT Prob. and +30% to the damage of the wearer’s Additional Attacks. Attacking an enemy with an Extra Attack will affect them with the Taming effect, which will increase Critical Damage by 12% per stack (maximum 2 stacks).

- Plane Sphere : Fire Damage.
- Binding Rope : ATK %.
The substats :
- CRIT Damage

Your best Ornament Set:
Inert Sausage
