When upgrading Himeko, the following main characteristics increase: health (HP), attack power and defense. More detailed information about the exact stat values ​​can be found in the table.

Speed ​​and taunt remain constant and can only be changed by using a Light Cone or Relic Set.

Basic skills

Himeko's skills are aimed at dealing instant damage and performing bonus attacks on several enemy targets. With stable activation of talent effects, he is an excellent fighter against waves of opponents. At the same time, thanks to a technique that increases fire damage to enemies and imposes the Burning status, it can help allies, even if it is not her turn.

She can act as both the main and secondary damage dealer, but in either case she is highly dependent on the composition of the opposing group. But even in conditions unfavorable for bonus attacks, it remains a source of good massive damage. Next, we’ll look in detail at how Himeko’s active and passive abilities work and in what order it’s best to level them up.

Active skills

• Technics "incomplete combustion» || Weakening

After using the technique, it creates a Burning Zone that covers a certain area and continues to operate for 15 seconds. If the battle begins in a Burning Zone, fire damage to enemies in its area of ​​effect is increased by 10% for 2 turns.

• Basic AttackSaw setup» || Single attack

Deals fire damage to the selected target equal to 50-130% from your own attack power.

• Skill "Molten Detonation» || Explosive Attack

Deals fire damage to the selected target equal to 100-250% on the strength of the attack, and additionally 40-100% on the strength of the attack to nearby enemies.

• Superpower"heavenly flame» || Group attack

Energy: 120

Deals fire damage equal to 138-276% on the strength of the attack. At the same time, it restores an additional 5 units of energy for each defeated enemy.

Passive skills

• talent"Victory Rush» || Group attack

When breaking through a vulnerability, the enemy receives 1 charge level (there are 3 in total). If an ally has 3 charges when making an attack, immediately deals fire damage equal to 70-175% depending on the attack power, and consumes all accumulated stacks. At the beginning of the battle, it immediately gains 1 charge level.

The order of leveling abilities

Emboldening Salvo - one of the main sources of damage, which is constantly used by damage dealers. At the same time they are pumping superpower и талант, which are used as they gain energy and charges, but are also important damaging skills. Although auto-attack has the lowest priority, if you have free pumping resources, you can invest in basic attack.

Tracks

Himeko's footprints increase important stats for the heroine, such as attack power and fire damage. In addition, they unlock passive abilities that unlock her potential as a primary and secondary source of DPS for the team.

General increase in characteristics:

Eidolons [Constellations]

All Himeko eidolons:

Himeko's best constellations - E1, E4 и E6:

• Feature first eidolon: Allows you to perform more actions, reducing the time between turns when the talent is activated. IN turn-based battle speed is crucial, since the character will be able to deal damage before enemies and, in general, attack more often, which in some situations can turn the outcome of the entire battle.
• Feature fourth eidolon: When the skill penetrates an enemy target's vulnerability, Himeko gains an additional talent charge level. Thus, when the shield is destroyed for the first time, she immediately accumulates the maximum number of charges. This means that the next time an ally hits, she will instantly make a subsequent out-of-pocket attack.
• Feature sixth eidolon: Increases the overall DPS of the super ability due to the additional proc on random targets. This also allows you to remove more fire vulnerability from opponents with a higher tenacity bar.

Ultimate Light Cone [Weapon]

When choosing the Nameless One's weapon, remember that it must correspond to the Path of Erudition for the passive effect to work. The following Light Cones are suitable equipment for Himeko:

Name	Description	Recommendation
Night on the Milky Way ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP: 52-1164 ATK 26-582 DEF 18-396	For each enemy on the battlefield, increases attack power by 9-15%, folds up to 5 times. If there is an enemy on the battlefield with a broken vulnerability, then the owner’s damage increases by 30-50% for 1 turn.	Himeko's signature cone, which increases her attack power and damage done. A passive ability requires the presence of a large number of targets on the part of opponents and the team actively breaking through elemental shields. Like the owner, she fully reveals herself in specific conditions, for example in the "Pure Fiction". Outside of activity, it may be difficult to activate effects, therefore, the weapon will lose a significant portion of its usefulness.
Before dawn ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ HP 48-1058 ATK 26-582 DEF 21-463	Crete. The owner's damage increases by 36-60%, and the damage of the owner’s skill and superpower is by 18-30%. After using a skill or superpower, the owner receives the Sleeping Body status. Carrying out a bonus attack consumes the Sleeping Body status and increases the damage of the bonus attack by 48-80%.	Its effectiveness is not inferior to signature weapons and is the best alternative, as it provides a huge increase in critical damage and increases the damage of Himeko’s main DPS skills - skill and ult. In addition, the effects are activated naturally during the battle, and are also fixed and do not depend on the number of opponents.
But hope is priceless ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-953 ATK 26-582 DEF 24-529	Crete. chance increases by 16-28%. If critical the damage of the weapon card carrier exceeds 120%, the damage of his bonus attack increases by 16-28% for every additional 20%. This effect can stack up to 4 times. Additional Bonus - At the start of battle or after landing a hit for 2 turns, allows a super or bonus attack to be ignored 16-28% enemy defense.	Not a bad five-star weapon, but weaker than Night on the Milky Way or Until Dawn. Increase in crit. chance is good enough, but to collect the required maximum number of crits. damage (200%) can be problematic outside of combat modes such as Virtual Universe and so on. Moreover, to maintain the full effect, you will have to use Himeko's basic attack, although she usually needs to activate the skill every turn.
Endless Computing (F2P) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 48-1058 ATK 24-529 DEF 18-396	Attack power is increased by 8-12%. After performing a strike, the attack power is additionally increased by 4-8% for each enemy attacked. This effect can stack up to 5 times and lasts until the wearer's next turn. If the strike was made on 3 or more targets, the owner's speed will increase by additional 8-16% for 1 turn.	Almost the most powerful choice of equipment for Himeko in battles against at least three opponents. At the fifth level of application, the weapon is comparable to the limited "Until Dawn". The effect of the equipment will allow the heroine to steadily accelerate and receive high increases in attack power, which is extremely useful against a large number of enemies.
Geniuses’ Repose ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 38-846 ATK 21-476 DEF 18-396	Increases the wearer's attack power by 16-32%. After defeating the enemy, crit. wearer's damage is increased by 24-48% for 3 moves.	As a permanent effect, it increases attack power, and after killing an enemy, it significantly increases critical damage. With Awakenings it can compete with the legendary Light Cones above, but loses a lot of usefulness if the passive is unable to be maintained. For this reason, it is completely unsuitable in battles with “dense” enemies.
Today is Another Peaceful Day ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP: 38-846 ATK 24-529 DEF 15-330	At the start of the battle, the damage dealt by the owner is increased by 0,20-0,40% for each unit its max. energy up to max. 160 units	A weapon “card” from the BP does not give an increase to the character’s characteristics, but increases damage depending on the maximum energy, which in the case of Himeko is 120 units. Accordingly, depending on the awakenings, the DPS of all the heroine’s skills will increase by 24-48% for battles in any conditions.
Day of the Universe Fall ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP: 43-952 ATK: 21-476 DEF 15-330	The wearer's attack power is increased by 16-24%. If, after the owner's attack, at least 2 targets have a corresponding vulnerability, crit. The owner's damage increases by 20-40% for 2 turns.	A strong F2P alternative from the Light Cone Passage store, aimed at increasing attack power and critical damage. The conditions for the passive effect are not difficult to fulfill, since the girl hits with area of ​​effect skills and also specializes in fighting opponents who are weak to the fire type of damage. In terms of efficiency, it is much inferior only to signature equipment, but ease of use and accessibility compensate for this disadvantage.
Stop, just a moment ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ HP 48-1058 ATK 26-582 DEF 21-463	Crete. The owner's damage increases by 36-60%. When the owner uses a superpower, 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 units energy.	The equipment works on the principle of the epic alternative “Today is also a peaceful day”, in addition, it permanently increases the critical damage characteristic. At the same time, the enhancements of the second part of the passive effect apply exclusively to the superpower - a powerful skill of the heroine, but it is only part of the gameplay. Thus, the weapon is suitable for balancing stats and in the position of sub-dam with ultimate.
The Seriousness of Breakfast ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP: 38-846 ATK: 21-476 DEF: 18-396	Increases damage dealt by 12-24%. For each enemy defeated, attack power is increased by 4-8%. The effect stacks up to 3 times.	More budget signature version - passively increases damage dealt and attack power for each enemy killed until the end of the battle. At the same time, it is much easier to open awakenings, since it is 4☆ cone from the in-game store.
Let the world not subside ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP: 38-846 Attack Power: 21-476 Protection: 18-396	At the beginning of the battle, the owner restores 20-32 units energy, and the damage from superpower is increased by 32-64%.	An epic Light Cone that can be equipped before the appearance and leveling of "Day of the Fall of the Universe". The cone does not provide increases to the character's characteristics, so it complicates the selection of stats in relics. In addition, it increases the damage of only one skill of the heroine, and does not enhance it comprehensively.
The Birth of the Self ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK: 21-476 DEF 15-330	The owner's bonus attack damage increases by 24-48%. If an enemy's current HP is less than or equal to 50%, the owner's bonus attack damage dealt to that enemy is increased by additional 24-48%.	Epic equipment with a variable effect that works for bonus attacks. Like the equipment above, it does not work for all abilities, so it is considered an unsuitable weapon for a girl.
Insight ⭐⭐⭐ HP 33-740 ATK 16-370 DEF 12-264	After using a superpower, the owner's attack power increases by 24-48% for 2 moves.	A worthy “rare” alternative for attack power. To play with the card, you need a rope to restore energy; instead, you can focus on finding crits in relics. However, as you level up, the weapon will have to be replaced with the options proposed above due to low base stats.
Passkey ⭐⭐⭐ HP 33-740 ATK: 16-370 DEF 12-264	After use by the owner of the skill, it additionally restores 8-12 units energy. This effect can only trigger once per turn.	A good “card” for the first time, allowing you to use your ultimate skill more often on a crowd of enemies, depleting your fire resistance and health bar.

Best Relics [artifacts]

Artifacts for Himeko should increase attack power, critical damage/crit chance, fire damage or give a damage bonus - this is the first thing you should pay attention to when choosing a set of cave relics and planar jewelry. In some situations, for example, with good additional stats, you can give preference to 2+2 format builds.

Cave relics [main artifacts]

Name	Effects	Recommendation
Burning Duke	2 parts: Increases bonus attack damage by 20%. 4 parts: When the wearer performs a bonus attack, their attack power increases by 6% each time that bonus attack deals damage. This effect can stack up to 8 times and lasts for 3 turns. The effect is removed the next time the owner performs a bonus attack.	The strongest set for maximizing the damage of the heroine’s bonus attack, which will also provide the Nameless with a high increase in attack power. The four-piece effect is triggered by dealing damage with a bonus hit to the enemy and stacks up to 8 times - this means that each individual hit of the skill contributes to the accumulation of buff stacks. Himeko's bonus attack deals 4 hits to one opponent per action, so to receive a 48% bonus to attack power, there must be at least two enemies on the field. For situations where a girl cannot carry out a bonus attack once every 3 turns, it is better to consider one of the options in the positions below.
Discoverer of dead waters	2 parts: Increases damage dealt to enemies with Debuffs by 12%. 4 parts: Increases crit. 4% chance. Crete. The owner's damage dealt to enemies with at least 2/3 debuffs increases by 8%/12% respectively. After the owner applies a Debuff to an enemy, the above effects are increased by 100% for 1 turn.	An excellent set that increases damage dealt and allows you to balance crits. A girl can comfortably play with two elements of the set on her own thanks to the “Starfire” trace, since the periodic status Burning is considered a weakening. To play with a full set, in turn, the team will need an additional debuffer that supports negative effects for the heroine.
Braveness of the Wind	2 parts: Increases attack power by 12%. 4 parts: Increases crit. 6% chance. After the owner performs a bonus attack, the damage of his superpower increases by 30%. This effect lasts for 1 turn.	A worthy alternative, but more suitable when fighting against a mass of enemies, for example, in Pure Fiction. Due to the conditions for Himeko's bonus attack, the full set is difficult to implement on bosses. Together with this set, it is worth using planar jewelry from the Frozen Salsotto set.
Firesmith of Lava-Forging Discoverer of dead waters Musketeer of Wild Wheat / Prisoner of a dark dungeon	2 parts: Increases fire damage by 10%. 2 parts: Increases damage dealt to enemies with Debuffs by 12%. 2 parts: Increases attack power by 12%.	If it is impossible to collect all the parts of the “Discoverer”, you can combine the kits into a 2+2 assembly. The combination of these sets is equivalent in strength, so it is worth taking into account the main and additional characteristics in individual parts of the cave relics.
Musketeer of Wild Wheat	2 parts: Increases attack power by 12%. 4 parts: Increases the wearer's speed by 6%, also increases their basic attack damage by 10%.	The basic kit will help you gain a sufficient amount of speed and also increase attack power. Since the girl rarely uses the basic attack in rotation, 4 parts of this set are interchangeable with a combination with the set "Herald Wandering in Hacker Space", which gives a similar effect.
Firesmith of Lava-Forging	2 parts: Increases fire damage by 10%. 4 parts: Increases the damage dealt by the owner's skill by 12%, and also increases the fire damage of the owner's next attack after using the super ability by 12%.	A good set for the main-deader position, where the skill is actively used. Half the set increases fire damage, and the passive of a fully assembled set increases ability damage by up to 24%. However, without the ability to often use the ultimate skill, it is inferior in strength to the alternatives above.

Planar Ornaments [Additional Artifacts]

Name	Effects	Recommendation
Skyfront Glatiramer	2 parts: Increases the wearer's attack power by 12%. If the speed is higher than or equal to 135/160 units, then the damage dealt by the carrier character increases by 12%/18%.	A strong option that is suitable for the role of both the main and secondary damage dealer. The set comprehensively strengthens the heroine, increasing attack power and damage dealt, but requires a speed value of at least 135 units to trigger the bonuses. For a build with this set, it is imperative to upgrade your boots for speed, and also take Harmony buffers into your squad, which provide an increase in stats during the battle.
Inert Salsotto	2 parts: Increases crit. owner's chance is 8%. If critical the chance is higher than or equal to 50%, then the damage of the superpower and bonus attack of the carrier character increases by 15%.	Option for an alternative build that increases bonus attack damage. When playing with the decorations in question, you can focus on the damage of the talent, choosing boots for attack power, rather than focusing on speed for optimal DPS. In the context of an activity such as “Pure Fiction,” it is more advisable to use this build option, relying on your allies to break through vulnerabilities.
Duran Wolf Dynasty	2 parts: When allies make a bonus attack, the owner gains 1 lvl. “Merit” status, which stacks up to 5 times. Every level The “Merit” status increases the damage dealt by the bonus attack of the wearer of the planar set by 5%. Upon reaching level 5. Crete. The owner's damage is increased by an additional 25%.	A good set for playing against bonus attacks in combination with characters in the team like Gerta. The bonus will be strongest in combat modes such as Pure Fiction, due to the large number of opponents in several waves in a row.
Star Arena	2 parts: Increases crit. owner's chance is 8%. If critical the chance is at least 70%, damage from the basic attack and skill of the host character increases by 20%.	Similar in requirements to the previous option, but enhances other skills. Suitable for the role of an actively attacking damage dealer, which also requires frequent actions, therefore, optimal speed for DPS.
Izumo World and Takama Kingdom	2 parts: The owner's attack power is increased by 12%. If at the beginning of the battle there is at least one ally walking the same Path as the owner, crit. The owner's chance increases by 12%.	A set that offers enhancements to two important characteristics, attack power and crit. chance. It is advantageous to place in builds with two damage dealers of the Path of Erudition, for example, in teams with Hertha.
Space Sealing Station	2 parts: Increases the wearer's attack power by 12%. If the speed is greater than or equal to 120 units, then the attack power increases by an additional 12%.	Basic, but not a bad alternative for attack power. The passive effect of the set can be easily activated by selecting boots with the main speed parameter. Despite its low position, the set is not much inferior to the options above, and at the same time it is easy to use and accessible.
Barren Sigonia	2 parts: Crete The owner's chance increases by 4%. Defeating an enemy increases crit. damage to the owner by 4%. This effect can stack up to 10 times.	An extremely situational set that reveals itself to the maximum within "Pure Fiction" and sepal farm. In these activities, the set gives a powerful increase of +40% to crit. damage, but outside the modes it turns out to be an order of magnitude weaker than other sets of Planar decorations. Since Himeko regularly participates in closing the updated activity, the set can be considered as a main equipment or kept as a situational replacement.

Squads for Himeko

Himeko in HSR is a primary and secondary DD that will fit into almost any team. The character reveals itself especially well where there are many opponents, and teammates match their vulnerabilities. Bezymyannaya’s huge advantage is her variable play styles, in which the girl’s gameplay does not conflict with the skills of other heroes.

Best characters

The Star Express Navigator will be a great addition to the heroes of the Path of Hunt and Destruction. At the same time, for her own strengthening, she may need supports of Abundance, Preservation and Harmony.

Character	Path	Damage type	Features
Topaz and the Accountant	Hunting	Fiery	Strong damage dealer against single targets, relying on a bonus attack. Creates good synergy with allies of its attack type, and also buffs this skill for the entire squad. In a build with Himeko, it is suitable against any number of enemies, focusing on damage to the toughest opponent.
Seele	Hunting	Quantum	Quantum heroine of the Path of the Hunt with devastating damage to a single target. Performs a huge number of actions per cycle by activating the “Reappearance” talent. In battles against groups of enemies, you may need the help of a secondary damage dealer attacking from the pocket.
Doctor Ratio	Hunting	Imaginary	They will form a good tandem, where Ratio will occupy the position of the main damage dealer, and Himeko will help with dealing damage and maintain the negative “Burning” status on opponents with a pumped-up “Starfire” trail.
Boothill	Hunting	Physical	The character is strong in scenarios where it is necessary to fight with one enemy, but becomes less effective against multiple targets. In order to make the squad with him more flexible, you can install a secondary damage dealer of the Path of Erudition. For example, Himeko is suitable in battles against enemies weak to Fire.
Yanqing	Hunting	Ice	Ice follower of the Hunt with built-in high crit buffs. Like other representatives of its class, it is endowed with high damage against a single target, but copes worse with crowds of enemies. Therefore, in some situations it forces you to put a good AoE damage dealer on your team.
Dan Heng	Hunting	Wind	Wind type starting main DPS. The skill deals good damage and with some chance reduces the enemy’s speed, the ultimate skill perfectly penetrates vulnerability. Works great in the early and mid-game, but requires a lot of investment to complete difficult content.
Sushan	Hunting	Physical	The main damage dealer with the mechanics of the Sword Stance, in which it deals additional physical damage. Also has a talent that increases speed if there are enemies on the battlefield with a broken vulnerability.
Phys. hero	Destruction	Physical	Not a bad damage dealer for the early stages of the game. Works well against several opponents, but shows greater usefulness against elite monsters. Uses a skill and ultimate to hit the target and enemies adjacent to it.
jingliu	Destruction	Ice	Ice damage attack that deals damage to one or more enemy targets. Acts as the main damage dealer in the squad, with the support of several (de-)buffers. The transition to an enhanced form is accompanied by the absorption of the health of team members, as well as the cessation of the use of skill points.
Blade	Destruction	Wind	He takes the role of the main DPS-character in the squad, is able to "close" any problems with damage, since he deals high enough damage. May need additional support from the representatives of the Path of Erudition (or other damage dealers) during the passage of high-level content.
Moon Eater	Destruction	Imaginary	A selfish main DD who “captures” most of the team resource to use skills. Penetrates elemental shields with area-of-effect blows and simultaneously inflicts high damage. May need an inexpensive secondary damage dealer.
Firefly	Destruction	Fiery	A fire damage dealer that inflicts vulnerability to its damage type on several enemies. It removes stamina strips well, so it will help with the Himeko technique.
Clara	Destruction	Physical	Conducts counterattacks in response to enemy attacks, which allows the tramp girl to actively participate in the battle outside of her turns. Effective as a damage dealer, tank, or in a hybrid build that balances survivability and damage.
Yunli	Destruction	Physical	Primary/secondary damage dealer that deals decent damage to multiple targets and provides additional survivability due to the “Taunt” debuff. Focuses on constantly performing a counterattack using talent and ultimate when receiving incoming damage.
Arlan	Destruction	Электрический	Increases own damage based on lost HP. At the same time, when opponents are killed, he immediately restores some of his health.
Hook	Destruction	Fiery	Technique and skill imposes the Burning status on enemies. This allows not only to deal additional damage over several turns, but also to passively buff Himeko, as she has a Magma trail that increases damage against enemies with the Burning status.
Xueyi	Destruction	Quantum	A damage dealer who plays against breaking through elemental shields. Together with Himeko, she can go against a crowd of monsters with fire vulnerability and benefit greatly from the Nameless One's bonus attacks.
Misha	Destruction	Ice	Ice damage dealer who copes equally well with the role of sub and main DPS. Due to the mechanics of the ultimate, it also performs well against solo targets and groups of enemies.
Armor	Harmony	Wind	A representative of Harmony, promoting the actions of her teammates, while simultaneously spreading an increase in damage, attack power and crits. A character can solve the problem of low action frequency damage dealers by gathering at high speed.
ruan mei	Harmony	Ice	A support that increases damage dealt, speed, penetration efficiency and resistance penetration of all types of elements. Can delay the action, prolong the break state and passively deal damage. One of the best partners for Himeko due to the increased efficiency of depleting the elemental durability of opponents.
Imaginary. hero	Harmony	Imaginary	An alternative support for the penetration effect, which reveals itself well in teams with Himeko. The girl plays off the destruction of monsters' durability scales, and the buffer causes additional damage for hitting enemies with a broken vulnerability. In addition, in a team with a hero it is not necessary to collect the protium effect, since the Pathfinder buffs the stat on its own.
Zaryanka	Harmony	Physical	A representative of Harmony of the highest tier, whose skills are aimed at increasing outgoing damage, crit. damage and attack power. When used, the superpower advances the action of all allies forward. The "Improvised Decoration" trail increases crit. bonus attack damage, which makes Zaryanka the best support for characters who play with this mechanic.
Asta	Harmony	Fiery	It buffs the speed and attack power, while at the same time it is easy to assemble and practically does not consume skill points (with E6). With a pumped up trace, “Ignition” gives an 18% increase to the fire damage bonus, which is why it is well suited for damage dealers of its element.
Yukong	Harmony	Imaginary	Increases attack power, crit. damage and crit chance. hits when the Roaring Bowstring status triggers. The ultimate deals imaginary damage to one enemy. Effectively buffing the main damage dealer requires precise calibration of speed within the team so that beneficial buffs do not spill over into supporting supports.
tingyun	Harmony	Электрический	A unique ally that replenishes energy for allies' superpowers. This skill buffs the attack power of one of the group members for two turns, therefore it is considered an economical support in terms of action points.
Hanja	Harmony	Physical	Restores command action points, increases the attack power and speed of the selected ally. The unique “Burden” effect does not work with bonus attacks, and is also applied only to one enemy, so the girl is more suitable for fighting elite opponents.
Sparkle	Harmony	Quantum	Extends an increase in damage dealt to the team, in addition, it promotes the action of one ally and significantly buffs their damage. Increases the limit of command action points, and the ultimate instantly restores 4 units of resource.
Jing Yuan	Erudition	Электрический	A good hero of the Path of Erudition, who copes well with a crowd of enemies with electrical weakness. Requires you to use a skill every turn to accumulate bonus attack stacks. In a team with Himeko, she can act as the main damage dealer against opponents that match their vulnerabilities.
Argenti	Erudition	Physical	Suitable for high-level content where enemies call for reinforcements throughout the battle. Has high area damage, restores energy for each hit against an enemy, and also increases its critical chance with the help of the “Object of Veneration” talent.
Jasper	Erudition	Quantum	A secondary DPS character who prefers to fight against groups of enemies: the number of opponents on the battlefield directly determines the rate of accumulation of charge levels, which allow you to perform bonus attacks. As a skill, assigns an allied character as a “Debt Collector,” which additionally increases his speed by 30 units. When Debt Collector makes an attack, it deals quantum damage equal to Jasper's attack power to each enemy it hits. At the same time, the Debt Collector spends 2% of its max. NR.
Hertha	Erudition	Ice	Character outstanding for completing worlds "virtual universe". She revealed herself in a new way with the release of Pure Fiction, where it is not difficult to fulfill the requirement to activate her bonus attack. An epic ice alternative to Himeko.
Welt	Nihility	Imaginary	Debuffer of Nothingness with good area penetration. Inflicts negative effects of slowing and imprisonment, and also has good damage.
Jiaoqiu	Nihility	Fiery	A powerful representative of the Nothingness, whose skills are aimed at applying the “Hot Ash” weakening (considered the DoT status “Burning”, which causes periodic damage of the fire type). Enemies affected by Burning Ash take increased damage. The superpower, in turn, inflicts a high level of damage and also imposes a third-party debuff that increases the damage taken by opponents from ultimate DPS-type skills.
Kafka	Nihility	Электрический	Leader of periodic damage groups, playing with various statuses of this type. Thanks to Burning from the Starfire Trail, Himeko can also prove useful to Kafka.
Silver Wolf	Nihility	Quantum	A universal ally that causes enemies to be weak to one of the allies' elements. It can be quite costly in terms of skill points if you cannot apply the desired vulnerability. At the same time, it applies a ton of debuffs to reduce attack power, defense and speed.
Black Swan	Nihility	Wind	Has a special Arcana status, which it considers Weathering, but can become all DoT effects after using an ult. In addition, it lowers defense and increases damage taken by enemies. Himeko, due to Burning, helps her accumulate Arcana stacks.
Guinaifen	Nihility	Fiery	An alternative to Kafka, playing exclusively from Burning. With her skill and talent, the girl causes negative effects in her opponents, and with her ultimate, she causes periodic fire statuses to cause damage.
sang	Nihility	Ice	Debuffer with a universal and strong weakening - lowering defense. It uses skill points sparingly and is quite easy to assemble, so it does not lose its relevance when completing high-level content.
Fu Xuan	Preservation	Quantum	Redirects the overwhelming majority of damage received by allies to itself, thereby providing lasting protection for the group. In addition, it increases critical chance and helps avoid control effects.
Cheetah	Preservation	Ice	A standard banner hero with solid shields for the entire team. With some chance it puts Freeze on opponents, and also does a good job of diverting enemy attention to itself.
Aventurine	Preservation	Imaginary	Places shields and during the battle, renews them after activating a superpower, as well as performing a bonus attack. Virtually no demands on skill points. In addition to providing protective functions, it helps the squad with damage. The ideal squad for a character is the cooperation of several heroes who can perform a bonus attack. In other teams he is just as good, but takes bonus shots a little less often.
Fire. hero	Preservation	Fiery	The Pathfinder of the Preservation plays two roles in the team at the same time. The basic attack and skill allow you to shield allies and tank, and the super ability, whose damage is scaled by defense, helps to contribute damage.
March 7	Preservation	Ice	Starting support heroine with good shields and cleansing from negative effects. With the unlocking of eidolons, the functionality and value of the heroine in various groups expands.
Bailu	Abundance	Электрический	A good healer for completing simple content. Endowed with high mass healing, however, it cannot remove weakenings, which is why it is not so in demand in battles at later stages of Mastery.
Locha	Abundance	Imaginary	The talent heals a unit if an ally attacks an enemy that is in the Magic Circle (created by accumulating stacks). In this case, the effect is triggered, including from bonus attacks.
Hoho	Abundance	Wind	Healer with buffer skills. The skill heals at least three allies, the talent contains periodic healing, and upon receiving healing, negative statuses are removed from characters in the team. With his superpower, he restores energy and buffs attack power.

How to play Himeko

Himeko specializes in dealing high area damage through following Paths of Erudite. Where it is required to destroy several enemy targets, the heroine is revealed to the maximum, especially if the opponents have a weakness to the fire element.

In situations where it is necessary to defeat one powerful monster, Himeko, although less effective as the basis of the group, can prove herself as an additional source of damage. In this she is helped by a mechanic in which she imposes the Burning status and deals periodic damage, as well as skills against several enemies and an ultimate with good multipliers.

Rotation

Depending on the position in the team and the build, the Starlight Express Navigator moves either one of the first or in the middle of the battle. At the same time, the general principle and sequence of using abilities remain unchanged. Himeko's rotation looks like this:

1. Before the start of the battle, activate the technique "incomplete combustion' to create a Burning Zone and increase the fire damage taken by enemies. If the squad has other useful buffs, also use them and start the battle.
2. If Himeko goes first, use the "Molten Detonation"or a normal attack, provided that the first track has been pumped"star fire" In the second case, with an 80% chance, the Burning status is applied for 3 turns, allowing you to usefully save skill points.
3. If other allies are moving, depending on their class and role in the squad, deal damage with abilities, apply buffs on the team, or apply debuffs to enemies.
4. Try to pay attention to the weaknesses of your opponents and hit them with elements to which the monsters have a weakness. This will remove the vulnerability scale and get the maximum number of charges for Himeko's talent "Victory Rush"(3 levels required). Once the vulnerability is broken, the Nameless One will make a bonus attack out of turn.
5. Use the rollback ultimate no matter what position the girl is in.
6. If there are few skill points left, give preference to the basic attack. This will deal less damage over time, but it will replenish the points bar, and enemies will start taking periodic damage over several turns.

Conclusion on the character

Himeko in HSR is a legendary standard character Paths of Erudite, thanks to which it is best revealed in battles with a large number of enemies. The spaceship navigator is convenient for passing dungeons, story missions and other game activities where it is necessary to overcome a cluster of monsters in a short period of time.

Among other heroes, she doesn’t stand out much, since even among the ranks of epic fighters you can find an alternative to her, sometimes more convenient to use. Express Navigator does not occupy the highest position on the tier list, although one cannot deny its excellent potential AoE fire-type damage dealer and flexibility in the role. Himeko is a good character who can serve as both the core of the group and a secondary DD, albeit with some conditions.
