Best Relics and Light Cones for Hanya in Honkai: Star Rail

Harmony characters in Honkai: Star Rail generally need the same Relics and Light Cones, and Hanya is no different. The only stat that her buff scales off is SPD, but you should focus on other stats as well.

Here are the Best Light Cones for Hanya in Honkai: Star Rail

To understand how to best build Hanya, here is a quick breakdown of how she works. She can mark enemies with Burden using her Skill, which increases how much damage allies deal to them. Attacking an enemy with Burden twice will immediately restore 1 SP as well. Her Ultimate increases a target ally’s SPD based on a percentage of Hanya’s, as well as their ATK. The ATK scales off the target’s ATK, so you don’t need to worry about Hanya. Now that we know what Hanya can do, let’s look at the optimal builds for her.

• But the Battle Isn’t Over
  Hanya’s Ultimate is a fantastic one so anything with Energy Regeneration is good. Using her Ultimate while she has this Light Cone on can also help her to regain SP. Finally, this Light Cone lets the next ally taking action deal more damage. Because Hanya cannot directly manipulate turn order like Bronya can, you will need to speed tune her team, as well as take into account the boost from her Ultimate. Though this Light Cone is a 5-star, you can just buy it from Starlight Exchange if you want.
• Dance! Dance! Dance!
  This is a fantastic Light Cone that advances forward your allies’ actions after Hanya uses her Ultimate. It’s a great one to put on her if no one else is using it, or if you don’t have any other Light Cones to give her.
• Carve the Moon, Weave the Clouds
  This is a Light Cone that you can only get from Nameless Glory, which you need to buy with real money. It is a good general use Light Cone that applies random buffs to all allies at the start of the wearer’s turn and battle. While it doesn’t do anything for Hanya herself, it’s beneficial for the general performance of your team.
• Kites From the Past
  This Light Cone lets the ally taking action after the wearer deal more damage for one turn. It’s similar to But the Battle Isn’t Over except the buff is significantly lower. As you cannot manually control who gets the next turn with Hanya, you will need to speed tune your party and adjust accordingly to Hanya’s SPD boost. 
• Meshing Cogs
  Meshing Cogs is a fantastic Light Cone for a 3-star because it helps Hanya to get her Ultimate back faster. The effect of Meshing Cogs is that it regenerates Energy for the wearer whenever she attacks or gets hit. Hanya will technically always attack someone since her Skill requires her to hit the enemy, which means she can recover extra Energy with each turn.

Here are the Best Relics for Hanya

When choosing Relics for Hanya in Honkai: Star Rail, you should focus on her SPD, Energy Regeneration, and either HP or DEF. If you want to make Hanya a bit more useful outside of just her Skill and Ultimate, you can try giving her Crit Rate or Physical DMG Relics. You don’t need to worry about Crit DMG, but her having a high Crit Rate can help her Break enemies easier.

• 4-pc Messenger Traversing Hackerspace
  This is the Relic Set for Harmony characters right now, not only because of the SPD boost (for Hanya’s Ultimate) but also because it can buff everyone’s SPD with her Ultimate. This sort of gets rid of the issue Hanya has where she can only affect a single target with her Ultimate, even if she can’t grant other members of the party with an ATK bonus.
• 2-pc Messenger Traversing Hackerspace, 2-pc Longevous Disciple
  If you don’t have enough good pieces from Messenger, you can always use a duo build with Traversing and Longevous Disciple. Longevous Disciple increases Hanya’s Max HP, which helps to keep her alive. You can also use a 2-pc Knight of Purity Palace for a DEF bonus or Guard of Wuthering Snow to lessen how much DMG she takes. The thing is though that both Messenger and Disciple are in the same Cavern so you can kill two birds with one stone when farming.
• Broken Keel
  This is one of the best Planar Ornament Sets right now for a support character. You can reach the 30% Effect RES fairly easily, and it’ll boost the whole party’s Crit DMG.
• Penacony, Land of the Dreams
  This is a good Planar Ornament Set only if Hanya is a support in a mono Physical team. It increases her Energy Regeneration Rate, which is great because of how good her Ultimate is, as well as increases the Physical DMG her allies can deal. Unlike other Planar Ornaments, this second effect does not require her to hit a particular threshold so you don’t have to worry about building Hanya a certain way.
• Fleet of the Ageless
  This is a good Planar Ornament set which can boost Hanya’s Max HP (for her personal survivability) and the party’s ATK. The ATK boost only comes into affect if Hanya has 120 SPD but she needs high SPD anyway for her Ultimate, so you’ll definitely reach that threshold.

Honkai: Star Rail is readily available for the PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices. You can always get Hanya from the gacha since she is a 4-star character.
