Honkai: Star Rail - Guinaifen Best Builds & Team Combos

One of the many characters you can pull in is Guinaifen, a bomb-juggling potential party member whose best builds revolve around how their Burn effect synergizes with various team combos. Specializing in dealing damage to enemies, Guinaifen can work to apply AoE effects or target single opponents. Understanding this character's strengths and weaknesses will help you determine which equipment Guinaifen needs.

Guinaifen is a 4-Star character among the banners available in , making them fairly rare to pull. Following the Path of Nihility, Guinaifen uses Fire elemental damage against their enemies in combat, with Attack being their best stat while leveling up. The Fire damage dealt by Guinaifen is paired with the character's affinity as a DoT Burn specialist who can apply the negative status effect to multiple foes.

One of Honkai: Star Rail’s non-playable Paths may soon become playable, according to a new leak about one of the Trailblazer's upcoming forms.

To start, the best Light Cone you can use with Guinaifen is Good Night and Sleep Well, an item that only works with characters in the Path of Nihility. This Cone increases the damage dealt by its wearer for every debuff an enemy has, stacking up to three times. Since this effect also applies to DoT, it synergizes well with Guinaifen's Burn status by giving the character extra attack power and continuously boosting the damage your opponents take.

Any Cone that boosts DoT power or damage can help Guinaifen become stronger in a team, even if the effects from these items aren't tied to the character directly. For example, the Patience Is All You Need Light Cone will increase Guinaifen's damage and speed while inflicting Erode and Lightning DoT. Cones that boost Effect Hit Rate will also be useful for Guinaifen to guarantee Burn on the enemies your group faces.
