Argenti in Honkai Star Rail: Detailed Guide and Best Build

Argenti in HSR is The Knight of Beauty, who is a powerful AoE damage dealer that relies mainly on his enhanced ult. In battle, he actively accumulates energy and increases his own characteristics to inflict colossal physical damage on his opponents. He is capable of acting as the leading DPS of the team, and also synergizes well with other leading DDs focused on AoE attacks.

After reaching a certain value required to perform the ultimate ability, the Idrila's follower's energy continues to accumulate, opening access to a more powerful version of the ability. Thanks to this and the support of other DPS or supports who can restore the energy indicator, the knight feels comfortable in endgame challenges that require causing mass damage.

Hero's story

Argenti is a classic knight of the Knights of Beauty Faction, who combines honor, virtue, and great nobility. He wholeheartedly worships the principles of the Path of Beauty and, as a solitary wanderer, travels the vastness of space, glorifying Idrila. To assert the honor of beauty in the universe for him is a sacred duty. He has been fulfilling it for many years, and his convictions were, are and will remain "unshakable."

The planet where the knight was born had been tormented by war for many years. His first childhood memories were darkened by bloody spectacles, the horrors of incessant bombings and deaths that tore his soul apart. In search of refuge, he hid from the chaos happening outside, underground, and in his heart there was a dream - to become a worthy man who would protect the weak, no matter what. After some time, having left his home planet, he managed to find refuge with a wise old master, who accepted the hot-blooded boy as his apprentice. Then the young man not only trained his body and mind, but also listened to the teacher's stories about the old days - stories of unsurpassed beauty and mysterious things that minstrels happened to witness.

Day after day, the master instilled in the young student the idea of the essence of Beauty. Subsequently, he learned not to limit himself to reading poetry and to see the embodiment of Beauty in piety, and thus truly mastered its philosophy. The memory depicted on the signature light cone An Instant Before A Gaze reads: “All that is needed is to wait for, to believe in, and to preach about everything that is of the Beauty in this cosmos.”. One day he managed to contemplate the true magnificence of the Goddess, and this short moment was forever imprinted in his mind, he already received all the answers that he was looking for.

The development of the hero's storyline can be found in his companion mission "Night of Universal Hallucinations".

Features

Basic stats that increase with leveling are health, defense, and ATK. The exact values of the parameters are presented in the table:

Values such as speed and taunt do not change as the hero's level increases.

How Argenti's skills work

The skills of the knight, as a representative of the Path of Erudition, are aimed at inflicting mass damage. The main skills are AoE abilities that help deal with waves of enemies consisting of several targets in the shortest possible time. The most powerful DPS comes from the ultimate, which, in turn, has two forms- regular and enhanced. The first one consumes fewer energy, the second one needs 180 points.

The gameplay of the Knight of Beauty is mainly based on the set of the enhanced form of the ult. This moment, in turn, can be controlled not only by third-party positive effects (for example, the skills of supports), but also by the personal characteristics of the hero. Below we will consider in more detail how the skills work and in what order they should be leveled.

Active skills

Passive Skills

Leveling Order

Ultimate ≥ Skill/Talent > Basic attack.

The Knight's abilities focus on area damage and overall buffs:

• The enhanced version of the superpower Merit Bestowed in "My" Garden is the main source of damage, therefore, the skill needs to be upgraded first.
• Talent helps in gaining additional energy, and also passively increases the chance of a critical hit. At the max. level of upgrade, the increase will be 2,5% per 1 level of the "Apotheosis" status, which, in turn, stacks up to 10 times. Thus, during a protracted battle, the hero can gain an additional 32,5% of crit rate, which is important in the process of clearing high-level and other content.
• Skill takes an identical position with the talent, since it is a constant source of damage on par with the ultimate. If the hero takes the role of the main DPS, on his turn he will use "Justice, Hereby Blooms" to inflict the most damage. Leveling will affect the amount of damage that will be directed against the enemy.
• Basic attack is not a priority. You can upgrade it if you have “extra” resources required to increase the level of the skill. Mostly, this should be done after the above-mentioned abilities have been leveled to the maximum.

Traces

General increase in characteristics:

Eidolons

All knight cons:

The best Eidolons of Argenti are E1, E4 and E6:

• First eidolon Improves the combat potential of the knight of the Knights of Beauty. In the presence of a "A Lacuna in Kingdom of Aesthetics", the levels of the "Apotheosis" status (max. amount - 10) will not only increase the chance of a critical hit, but also provide him with increases to such an important parameter as crit dmg. Thus, during a protracted battle, the hero will be able to receive the following boosts to personal combat indicators: +40% to crit dmg and +32,5% to crit rate (in the case of a max. leveled talent).
• Fourth Eidolon - an excellent acquisition that significantly expands the potential of the Apotheosis status and, accordingly, seriously boosts the position of the main DPS.
• Sixth Eidolon - an additional bonus to ignoring defense, which can significantly increase the damage from the ultimate, especially in the case of a combination of secondary amplifiers in the form of an equipped set of cavern relics "Genius of Brilliant Stars", a representative of the Path of Nihility who can lower defense (Pela or Silver Wolf), and the presence of the light cone "Resolution Shines As Pearls of Sweat" on the mentioned hero of the Path of Nihility.

As a F2P player, if you plan on getting extra Eidolons, you might want to stop at E1. This acquisition will significantly boost and allow you to easily pass any high-level content.

How to Play Argenti in HSR

During turn-based battles, the knight relies on status "Apotheosis", provoked by the talent "Sublime Object", which restores several energy to the character, and also increases the chance of a critical hit. The main skill is "Merit Bestowed in "My" Garden". The reason why it is worth ignoring the use of the normal type of the ult is that "For In This Garden, Supreme Beauty Bestows" deals less DPS, and also does not carry out additional attacks that are distributed to random enemies (or the boss if there are no other targets on the battlefield).

An equally significant skill is the “Justice, Hereby Blooms” skill, which is used to fill the energy scale and deal auxiliary damage. The main objective is to maintain Apotheosis status levels, accumulate energy by activating skills that generate the highest % of energy, and activate an enhanced form of superpower.

Next, let's look at the principle by which Argenti's rotation is built:

1. Before battle, use the Paths of Harmony, Preservation and/or Nihility characters' techniques to apply positive effects to the party and/or spread negative statuses to enemies.
2. The last step is to activate the technique Manifesto of Purest Virtue, and then perform an attack. Thus, the hero will hit the area and also restore 15 energy.
3. At the time of the turn use Justice, Hereby Blooms: the skill deals area damage and restores 30 energy, which significantly speeds up the filling of the scale for activating the ultimate.
4. Merit Bestowed in "My" Garden is top priority. "For In This Garden, Supreme Beauty Bestows" should be ignored during protracted battles with large targets, as the enhanced form of the ultimate skill deals many times more damage.
5. Monitor active positive statuses, promptly refreshing buffs from heroes of the Path of Harmony. Act similarly with the representatives of the Path of Nihility, if they are present in the team.
6. Alternate skill activation with the second type of ult. Basic attack is used only when there are no "free" action points, but in this case it is also important to understand that restoring AP is the task of support heroes, not DPS.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Having understood how the hero's abilities work, we can draw a conclusion about the "pros" and "cons" of the physical representative of the Path of Erudition:

Best Argenti Builds in Honkai: Star Rail

Argenti is an unusual representative of the Path of Erudition, whose gameplay component is based on playing from an enhanced form of the ultimate skill. Accordingly, it is not surprising that the abilities are aimed at maintaining the skill "For In This Garden, Supreme Beauty Bestows".

The build is based on increasing the following combat characteristics: ATK, crit rate and crit dmg, bonus to physical damage. Each of the listed types of characteristics affects the final damage figures from the knight of the Knights of Beauty. In addition, do not forget about such a parameter as "speed", which will have a direct impact on the number of hero actions in one battle cycle. Next, we will take a closer look at Argenti's build in HSR.

Recommended Stats

The main stats that are recommended to look for in relics:

Speaking of secondary characteristics, you should give priority to the following stats:

• crit rate and crit dmg;
• ATK;
• speed;
• situationally - break effect.

Combat stats are of particular importance, but if there are survivability issues that are not resolved by Paths of Preservation or Abundance, it is worth considering other stats for leveling - for example, resistance to effects, health or defense.

The optimal final indicators that are recommended to have are:

• ATK: 2+;
• speed: 120+;
• VE: 100-120%;
• HP: 3+;
• KS: 50% and more;
• KU: 150% and more.

Due to the fact that the character receives additional increases to the chance of a critical hit due to the "Apotheosis" status, you can abandon the usual ratio of crit rate/crit dmg (1:2), putting more emphasis on leveling up critical damage.

Light Cone Rating

When choosing a weapon for the Knight of Beauty, remember that it must be of the Path of Erudition for the passive effect to work. Among the most suitable options, the following light cones are worth highlighting:

Name	Description	Recommendation
An Instant Before A Gaze ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 48-1058 ATK 26-582 DEF 21-463	Crit dmg increases by 36-60%. When the owner uses an ultimate, the damage it deals increases by 0,36-0,60% for each unit from max. owner's energy. This effect can stack up to max. 180 energy.	Signature Light Cone, primarily aimed at increasing crit dmg, allows you to focus on gaining other characteristics while leveling cavern relics and planar ornaments. Another feature of the weapon "card" is the increase in DPS from the ultimate. The Knight of the Beauty has two types of superpowers. To activate the first one, you need 90 energy, for the second one - 180. Having the signature maximizes the character's power when using an enhanced form. Merit Bestowed in "My" Garden. "An Instant Before A Gaze" is a good option, which in combination will make the hero a powerful DPS, mainly playing from the ultimate. In addition, a great solution for the character will be the planar set of ornaments "Inert Salsotto", which also increases the damage from the ult.
Before Dawn ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 48-1058 ATK 26-582 DEF 21-463	Crit dmg increases by 36-60%, and the damage of the skill and superpower is by 18-30%. After using a skill or ult, the owner gains the "Somnus Corpus" status. Performing a bonus attack consumes the "Somnus Corpus" status and increases the DPS of the bonus attack by 48-80%.	Jing Yuan's Light Cone is useful only as the first permanent increase, which increases the crit dmg, as well as the DPS from the skill and the ultimate. In part, the weapon "card" performs the same functions as "An Instant Before A Gaze", but unlike the hero's signature light cone, the positive effect on enhancing the ultimate skill is weaker, which, however, is offset by a pleasant increase in DPS from the skill. The Somnus Corpus status, in turn, is useless, since the hero is unable to perform bonus attacks.
Night on the Milky Way ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 52-1164 ATK 26-582 DEF 18-396	For each enemy on the battlefield, ATK increases by 9-15%. This effect can stack up to 5 times. If there is an enemy on the battlefield with a broken vulnerability, then the damage increases by 30%. for 1 turn.	A light cone that should be equipped in cases where you plan to go through activities where enemies appear in groups (for example, "Calyxes" or regular areas of the "Simulated Universe"). Thanks to this, the effect of increasing ATK can be maintained on a permanent basis. The second part of the weapon card's passive skill is, in turn, situational, and generally loses out to alternative light cones due to the fact that the positive effect on increasing DPS only lasts for 1 turn.
Today is Another Peaceful Day ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 38-846 ATK 24-529 DEF 15-330	At the start of the battle, the damage dealt is increased by 0,2-0,4% per energy point up to max. 160 .	The best epic alternative to the above legendary options, which provides a boost to outgoing DPS. The hero resonates well with this weapon "card" due to the peculiarities of his expensive ultimate skill.
Eternal Calculus (F2P) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 48-1058 ATK 24-529 DEF 18-396	ATK increases by 8-12%. After performing a hit, ATK is additionally increased by 4-8% for each enemy attacked. This effect can stack up to 5 times and lasts until the next turn. If the hit was made on 3 or more targets, the speed will increase by an additional 8-16% for 1 turn.	The free weapon "card" will give the owner a significant increase to ATK and will come in handy in the absence of the aforementioned legendary cones or E5 "Today is also a peaceful day." "Continuous calculations" are more suitable for activity Pure fiction with a large number of enemies, in which the Night on the Milky Way will be more effective even without superimposition levels.
The Seriousness of Breakfast ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 38-846 ATK 21-476 DEF 18-396	The damage dealt by the owner is increased by 12-24%. For each defeated enemy, ATK increases by 4-8%. This effect can stack up to 3 times.	Light cone, purchased in the "Light cone" in-game shop section. Provides a percentage increase to the damage dealt. With constant clearing of the "Echoes of War" zones and the "Forgotten Hall" floors, the weapon "card" easily ascends to lvl 5 of "superimposition". Thanks to The Seriousness of Breakfast, overall DPS can be increased by 24%, which is better than any stat boost, be it ATK or crit, especially in the later stages of the game when most characters have no problem balancing their personal stats.
Make the World Clamor ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 38-846 ATK 21-476 DEF 18-396	At the beginning of the battle, it restores 20-32 energy. The damage dealt by the ultimate is increased by 32-64%.	Another light cone aimed at enhancing superpower. An additional advantage of the weapon "card" is the restoration of energy, which is necessary for the character. Especially if there are no heroes in the team who are able to "fill" the energy.
Ninjutsu Inscription - Dazzling Evilbreaker ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 48-1058 ATK 26-582 DEF 21-463	Increases break effect by 60-100%. Immediately upon entering combat restores 30-40energy. After the owner uses the ultimate, the status "Thunder Rescue" is applied. When the character performs 2 basic attacks, his action moves forward by 50-70%, and the status disappears and is updated the next time the ult is used.	Despite the fact that the hero does not directly specialize in break, he is able to play from reducing enemy toughness in the appropriate build. The weapon also restores energy at the beginning of the battle, which will be useful in any situation. No less profitable is action advance, but for this you will have to give preference to basic attacks instead of the skill for 2 turns, which will be more difficult to implement as the basis of the group. For this reason, it is primarily recommended for the sub-dd position.
The Day The Cosmos Fell ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP: 43-952 ATK: 21-476 DEF 15-330	Owner's ATK increases by 16-24%. If after the owner's hit at least 2 targets have the corresponding vulnerability, the owner's crit dmg increases by 20-40% for 2 turns.	A light cone from the in-game shop. The weapon increases ATK without any conditions. To get increases to crit dmg, you need to take into account the weaknesses of enemies, which is why the cone is considered a situational option.
Data Bank ⭐⭐⭐ HP 33-740 ATK 16-370 DEF 12-264	The damage dealt by the owner's superpower is increased by 28-56%.	A budget option that can be upgraded to lvl 5 of "superimposition" in a short period of time. Provides a permanent bonus to damage from the ultimate, which is the dominant skill.
Geniuses’ Repose ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 38-846 ATK 21-476 DEF 18-396	Owner's ATK increases by 16-32%When the owner defeats an opponent, his crit dmg increases by 24-48% on 3 turns.	Another alternative to the above-mentioned weapon "cards", which permanently increases the character's ATK by a fixed percentage. The second positive effect, increasing the crit dmg, is situational, but can be correctly played during the passage of high-level content, be it "Forgotten Hall" or "Simulated Universe", especially if elevated to lvl 3-5 "superimposition".
Passkey ⭐⭐⭐ HP 33-740 ATK 16-370 DEF 12-264	After use by the owner of the skill, it additionally restores 8-12 energy. This effect can only trigger once per turn.	Another budget alternative, which in turn acts as a source of additional energy. Skill - the main ability used while the ultimate is "preparing".
Sagacity ⭐⭐⭐ HP 33-740 ATK 16-370 DEF 12-264	After using the ultimate, the owner's ATK increases by 24-48% on 2 turns.	A good option from the "first time" category, aimed at additional growth to ATK. Can be equipped as a "plug" and later replaced with a more suitable light cone.

What relics and ornaments are needed

When choosing artifacts, give priority to sets that increase physical damage, ATK, and crits. The tables below cover all sets and the most effective combinations that can be equipped.

Cavern relics

Name	Effects	Recommendation
Scholar Lost in Erudition	2 parts: increases crit rate by 8%. 4 parts: Increases skill and super ability damage by 20%. After using an ultimate, the damage of the next skill increases by 25%.	One of the best sets due to the increase in crit rate, as well as boosting the ultimate and skill. Most often, the hero acts as the main damage dealer, so almost every turn he uses the skill to inflict more damage per cycle and restore energy, which allows him to fully realize the passive. In addition, the increase in DPS of the ultimate itself is a strong buff.
Champion of Streetwise Boxing	2 parts: Increases physical damage by 10%. 4 parts: After using or receiving damage, increases ATK by 5%. This effect can stack up to 5 times.	A perfect solution for a knight, it will provide a 10% increase to physical DPS, and also increase ATK by 25% in total during a protracted battle.
Champion of Streetwise Boxing Musketeer of Wild Wheat	2 parts: Increases physical damage by 10%. 2 parts: Increases ATK by 12%.	A 2x2 build that affects two priority stats: physical damage and ATK. Can be equipped if you don't have a full Champion of Streetwise Boxing set with well-matched stats.
Musketeer of Wild Wheat	2 parts: Increases ATK by 12%. 4 parts: Increases the owner's speed by 6%, also increases the damage of his basic attack by 10%.	A versatile set that can be equipped both early and late in the game as a full set with well-chosen stats. Provides consistent increases to ATK and speed, important stats that affect a hero's DPS as well as turn rate during battle cycles.
Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters	2 parts: Increases damage dealt to enemies with Debuffs by 12%. 4 parts: Increases the owner's Crit Rate by 4%. The owner's crit dmg inflicted on enemies with at least 2/3 debuffs increases by 8%/12% respectively. After the owner inflicts a debuff on an enemy, the above effects are increased by 100% for 1 turn.	It is not inferior in strength to the "Wild Wheat", but requires several conditions to be met. For both parts, it is important to have a debuff on enemies to increase DPS, while the crit bonuses require a certain number of debuffs. The set works in such a way that for each enemy, the damage inflicted is calculated depending on the presence of debuffs and their number.
Champion of Streetwise Boxing Musketeer of Wild Wheat Messenger Traversing Hackerspace	2 parts: Increases physical damage by 10%. 2 parts: Increases ATK by 12%. 2 parts: Increases speed by 6%.	An additional 2x2 mix that will be useful if you can't find good boots with "Speed". In the absence of 2 suitable pieces of the Champion of Streetwise Boxing set, it is permissible to equip elements of the Musketeer of Wild Wheat set.
Genius of Brilliant Stars	2 parts: Increases quantum damage by 10%. 4 parts: When dealing damage, the owner ignores 10% of the enemy's defense. If the target enemy has a quantum vulnerability, the owner ignores an additional 10% of defense.	A situational set of relics that, when built correctly, can be extremely effective. What's important here is: have 6 eidolons (using the ultimate ignores 30% of the enemy's defense); add Pela or Silver Wolf (reduce enemy defense: the first - with an ultimate skill, and the second - with a skill); use a cone on one of the allies of the Path of Nihility Resolution Shines As Pearls of Sweat. Each of the above actions will significantly increase the damage dealt by the Knight of Beauty.

Planar ornaments

Name	Effects	Recommendation
Firmament Frontline: Glamoth	2 parts: Increases owner's ATK by 12%. If speed is greater than or equal to 135/160, damage dealt increases by 12%/18%.	The set increases all outgoing damage by 12% with 135 speed and by 18% if the speed indicator reaches 160. An excellent option that can be worn on a permanent basis: thanks to the set, both the ultimate and the skill will be able to demonstrate pleasant damage. Note: an attempt to bring the characteristic to max. values ​​for the sake of 18%, in turn, will be a mistake, since it is important for the knight to maintain a balance between attack performance and damage in general. Therefore, the perfect solution is to acquire support support.
Inert Salsotto	2 parts: Increases owner's crit rate by 8%. If crit rate is greater than or equal to 50%, super ability damage and attack bonus increases by 15%.	The main damage comes from the ultimate skill, so boosting the skill "For In This Garden, Supreme Beauty Bestows" by equipping Salsotto is a good solution both in the early and later stages of the game. The only thing that is required is to collect 50% of the character's total crit rate for the second passive effect of the planar ornament to work. Salsotto is in the same position as Glamoth. Although the sets buff the hero in completely different ways, they perfectly reveal his main features.
Rutilant Arena	2 parts: Increases owner's crit rate by 8%. If crit dmg is not less than 70%, damage from basic attack and skill increases by 20%.	A good option that can be equipped if parts of the above sets are missing. Offers a stable increase to the chance of a critical hit and increases the damage from the basic attack and skill if the hero's crit dmg in "Characteristics" reaches 70% or higher. The basis of damage, while there is no fully charged super ability, is the skill. Therefore, the percentage increase to the damage of the skill "Justice, Hereby Blooms" is a good purchase. However, when considering the sets as a whole, the two previously presented sets are slightly more effective when compared to "Rutilant Arena".
Space Sealing Station	2 parts: Increases owner's ATK by 12%. If Speed is 120 or higher, ATK increases by an additional 12%.	An acceptable alternative for the first time, providing a total of 24% increase to ATK.
Izumo Gensei and Takama Divine Realm	2 parts: Owner's ATK increases by 12%. If there is at least one ally on the same Path as the owner at the start of battle, owner's crit rate increases by 12%.	For teams with a second hero of the Path of Erudition, you can consider this set. The set will give bonuses to two parameters at once, but will only work in the corresponding team builds.
Sigonia, the Unclaimed Desolation	2 parts: The owner's crit rate increases by 4%. Defeating an enemy increases the owner's crit dmg by 4%. This effect can stack up to 10 times.	A crit set that can provide a 40% boost to a stat when the conditions are met. It is a situational set, as it requires defeating 10 enemies in a single battle. For this reason, the set is considered exclusively as an alternative for the corresponding modes ("Pure fiction"). An important clarification: in the presence of E2 and the signature Light Cone, sets with a bonus to damage and attack power come first, and the set in question loses its relevance even for completing suitable modes.
Celestial Differentiator	2 parts: increases the owner's crit dmg by 16%. If crit dmg is higher than or equal to 120%, then at the beginning of the battle crit rate increases by 60% until the end of the first attack.	A good "plug" in the absence of parts of the above-considered sets. The constant increase in the crit dmg from the set will allow balancing the characteristics, bringing the parameters to the preferred figures.

Argenti Team Guides in HSR

In a team, Argenti can take the position of both the main DPS and the secondary one. His abilities are aimed at causing damage to several enemies, and the main DPS comes from the ultimate. In case you plan to place the Knight of Beauty as the main damage dealer, it is worth looking at him in the team of support heroes who will help with various positive effects or negative statuses, as well as defense and healing.

Which characters are suitable?

Below are the most priority units, with which the hero "combines" best. However, if desired, the knight of the Beauty can become an excellent ally for most other representatives of the attacking Paths, the main thing is to build a team in such a way that none of the heroes is lost against the background of the strength and advantages of the others.

Is it worth pulling for Argenti?

Argenti is a representative of the Path of Erudition, a physical type. The Knight deals fairly high area damage and, based on the description of skills and the principle of gameplay, is excellent during combat with several targets. However, his DPS against single enemies is also good: the hero is able to act as the main damage dealer in the team and clear high-level floors of the "Forgotten Hall" or go through more powerful versions of the Worlds of the Simulated Universe.

Despite some difficulties that can be experienced during build, the hero is not demanding in terms of signature light cone and additional constellations (eidolons). There is an acceptable number of epic and even rare weapon "cards" suitable for the hero. In addition, the arsenal contains many types of planar ornaments and cavern relics that can reveal the knight of the Beauty as an excellent representative of the Path of Erudition, which is worth paying attention to.

With these recommendations, you will find the best build for Argenti, the Knight of Beauty in Honkai: Star Rail. Share your opinion about the character and ask any questions about the build.
