Clara’s Honkai: Star Rail Relics and Light Cones Need to Build Up Her Damage

Clara is one of the strongest AoE damage dealers in Honkai: Star Rail. With the right build, the 5-star character and her sidekick Svarog can dish out devastating damage to enemies with their counter-attacks. Fortunately, those looking for the best Relic sets and Light Cones for Clara builds in Honkai: Star Rail get a lot of options.

Which Relic set should I use with Clara in Honkai: Star Rail?

Clara is a 5-star Physical element fighter that can be pulled from the game’s standard Stellar Warp banner. She has a unique gimmick in that she actually deals damage through counterattacks triggered after she receives damage. Because of this, Clara’s best Relic set in Honkai: Star Rail is Champion of Streetwise Boxing.

Champion of Streetwise Boxing not only increases her Physical DMG by 10%, but it also boosts her ATK stat by 5% every time she receives damage. The effect can even stack up to five times, essentially giving her a 25% buff the more enemies attack her. And trust me, Clara will be taking a lot of damage often, so the set creates a perfect synergy for the tiny hero and her robot sidekick.

The set can be picked up by defeating the Cavern of Corrosion: Path of Jabbing Punch, which is located in the Silvermane Guard Restricted Zone at Jarilo-VI. If you don’t feel like burning through 40 Trailblaze Power though, the 5-star has other alternative sets to choose from.

Below is the list of the best Relics for Clara in Honkai: Star Rail:

1. Champion of Streetwise Boxing – 2 Piece: Increases Physical DMG by 10% / 4 Piece: After the wearer attacks or is hit, their ATK increases by 5% for the rest of the battle. This effect can stack up to 5 times.
2. Musketeer of Wild Wheat – 2 Piece: ATK increases by 12% / The wearer’s SPD increases by 6%, and Basic ATK DMG increases by 10%.
3. Longevous Disciple – 2 Piece: Increases Max HP by 12% / When the wearer is hit or has their HP consumed by an ally, their CRIT Rate increases by 8% for 2 turn(s) and up to 2 stacks.

These are her best Planar Ornament sets:

1. Space Sealing Station – 2 Piece: Increases the wearer’s ATK by 12%. When the wearer’s SPD reaches 120 or higher, the wearer’s ATK increases by an extra 12%.
2. Inert Salsotto – Increases the wearer’s CRIT Rate by 8%. When the wearer’s current CRIT Rate reaches 50% or higher, the wearer’s Ultimate and follow-up attack DMG increases by 15%.

And here’s what stats you should focus on rolling on Clara’s Relics:

1. Body: CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG
2. Feet: ATK or SPD
3. Sphere: Physical DMG
4. Link: ATK

Which Light Cone should I use for a Clara build in Honkai: Star Rail?

Clara’s best Light Cone is Something Irreplaceable. The 5-star Destruction Cone is her signature weapon and increases her ATK by a whopping 24%. More importantly, though, Clara is healed each time she is attacked. The Light Cone essentially eliminates the biggest drawback with her counterattack mechanic.

I know what you are thinking, though; not everyone has endless amounts of cash to spend on the game’s gacha system. Which is absolutely fair. Thankfully, Clara actually has an additional 5-star weapon that can be earned for free through the Simulated Universe mode on Herta’s Space Station. For eight Herta Bond currency, you can buy the excellent On the Fall of an Aeon Light Cone as an alternative.

These are the best Light Cones for Clara in Honkai: Star Rail:

1. Something Irreplaceable: Increases the wearer’s ATK by 24%. When the wearer defeats an enemy or is hit, it immediately restores HP equal to 8% of the wearer’s ATK. At the same time, the wearer’s DMG is increased by 24% until the end of their next turn. This effect cannot stack and can only trigger one time per turn.
2. On the Fall of an Aeon: Whenever the wearer attacks, their ATK is increased by 8% in this battle, up to four times. When the wearer inflicts Weakness Break on enemies, the wearer’s DMG increases by 12% for two turns.
3. Nowhere to Run: Increases the wearer’s ATK by 24%. Whenever the wearer defeats an enemy, they restore HP equal to 12% of their ATK.
4. A Secret Vow: Increases DMG dealt by the wearer by 20%. The wearer also deals an extra 20% of DMG to enemies whose current HP percentage is equal to or higher than the wearer’s current HP percentage.
5. The Moles Welcome You: When the wearer uses their Basic ATK, Skill, or Ultimate to attack enemies, they gain one stack of Mischievous. Each stack increases the wearer’s ATK by 12%.

Clara’s ATK stat should be your overall main focus, as her counterattack damage scales with it. She also has built-in Damage Reduction with her design, so I wouldn’t worry too much about her HP and Defense unless you absolutely need it.

Honkai: Star Rail is currently available for the PC and mobile devices and will arrive on the PS5 in 2023.
