Huohuo in Honkai Star Rail: Build Guide and Top Teams

Huohuo in HSR is a legendary character related to the Path of Abundance. The girl has mastered the wind element and is focused on healing allies, and does this with both passive and active skills. Thanks to the ability to consistently heal allies, she is in demand in literally any team and completely covers the needs of partners in constant healing.

Her main feature is a combination of skills aimed at healing and strengthening. In particular, the heroine, with the help of an ultimate, restores energy and increases the attack power of all allies. This kind of versatility further expands the range of its application, allowing it to partially play the role of a Harmony buffer. This will also bring damage dealers a lot of benefits while clearing complex endgame content.

Hero's story

The girl is a representative of the foxian people and an intern at the Ten-Lords Commission of Luofu Xianzhou. By nature, she is very timid, afraid of ghosts and everything related to the supernatural. However, she has to constantly deal with evil memosprites and even exorcise them. It all started when one of the judges sealed a heliobi inside her, which is why she is now called "cursed".

As a child, the heroine encountered a spirit, which she took pity on and put on her tail. The demon almost swallowed its "savior", so Hanya sealed it in the tail - the girl was too young to perform the exorcism ritual. The Commission took on the task of protecting her so that the "tail" would not cause trouble, while she herself tries to master her new duties as a guide of souls and overcome her fear.

How to Get the Character

How Huohuo's Skills Work

The heroine's skills are aimed at providing the team with stable healing. At the same time, despite adherence to the Path of Abundance, she can impose various buffs, namely, to restore energy and increase attack power for all allies. Thanks to her diverse functionality, the healer fits into many teams, performing not only the role of a healer, but also partially supporting Harmony. The latter is especially beneficial in builds with two damage dealers.

Active skills

Passive Skills

Leveling Order

Superpower ≥ Talent = Skill > Basic Attack

Skill, ult and talent are equally important and are leveled side-by-side, as they affect the effectiveness of the heal and enhancements that are offered to the team. The Basic attack is used exclusively to restore skill points and regenerate energy. For this reason, the skill can be left unleveled or leveled to 6;

Traces

Overall stat gain:

Eidolons

All unit consts:

Best Huohuo's eidolons are E1, E2 and E6.

• First eidolon increases the duration of the talent effect, therefore, allies will be able to passively heal for 1 turn longer. At the same time, the arsenal of buffs is expanded - now the speed is also increased, in addition to the restoration of energy and attack power.
• Second eidolon allows you to resurrect fallen team members and restore their health up to half 2 times per battle. However, in return, each resurrection reduces the duration of the talent's effect.
• Sixth Eidolon goes on turning the heroine into a buffer, giving her the ability to increase all damage dealt by an ally by 50% for 2 turns. Moreover, the bonus is given for any healing received, including from weapons and other teammates.

How to Play Huohuo

The judge's gameplay is based on the use of skill tohealing allies. At the same time, the skill activates a talent that allows you to additionally heal team members under certain conditions: at the beginning of the turn, after using an ult, or when HP drops to 50% or below.

The ultimate goal is not only to regenerate health, but also to apply buffs, increase attack power and restore energy. However, for this, the girl herself will need to gain energy in a timely manner in order to provide enhancements as often as possible.

Don't forget about skill points, which the foxian girl spends to activate healing. First of all, try to give skill points to damage dealers and supports of the Path of Harmony, and only then to the healer, when circumstances require it. At the same time, it is recommended to keep 1-2 points in reserve if there is a battle with a strong enemy.

Huohuo's rotation is as follows:

1. Before the fight, use the techniques of other characters, and also Fiend: Impeachment of Evilif necessary, to have a 100% base chance of reducing the attack power of one enemy at the beginning of the battle for 2 turns.
2. When it's the trainee judge's turn, use either a basic hit to gain some energy and restore points, or the skill Talisman: Protection, if the HP of allies has dropped. In addition, the skill can be used in advance if a powerful enemy attack is expected before the next turn.
3. The skill also activates the talent Possession: Ethereal Metaflow, which lasts for 2 turns and passively heals one ally. While this effect is active, use Basic Attack if you don't need immediate healing.
4. As soon as enough energy accumulates, immediately activate your superpower Tail: Spiritual Dominationto increase ATK of all allies for 2 turns and restore some energy to them.

To quickly recharge the ultimate, you will need to alternate the skill and basic attack. This is a good combination, but you will have to sacrifice skill points, which in certain situations will negatively affect the rest of the team.

Alternative, more optimal option: 1 skill + 2 basic attacks. Fewer points are spent here, but it becomes a little more difficult to restore energy, so an additional source of regeneration (cone, relics, etc.) can come in handy.

Strengths and Weaknesses

What are the heroine's strengths and weaknesses? Let's take a detailed look at all her advantages and disadvantages.

Best Huohuo Builds in Honkai: Star Rail

The Judge-in-training occupies the position of support (support character) in the team. In this regard, she only needs those bonuses and characteristics that affect the effectiveness of healing and the ability to consistently apply buffs. Thus, Huohuo builds in HSR are based on the following stats:

• Health (HP) — a key parameter on which the quality of healing depends on skill and talent.
• Energy recharge - Affects the frequency of using the ultimate that provides buffs to allies.
• Speed - will allow you to take action more often in order to use the skill for healing and the basic attack for energy generation in a timely manner, as well as maintain the effect of the talent.

Recommended Stats

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

In the lower stats, priority should be given to:

• HP;
• speed;
• resistance to effects and defense.

The optimal final values ​​of stats that are desirable to have on the character:

• Speed: 121-134 and more.
• Energy recharge: 119,4% and more
• HP: 6 and more (with a body for “healing bonus”).
• DEF: 800-900 and more.

Huohuo prefers to play with "fast" characters, so her speed should vary depending on the stats of her allies. If the heroine moves too often, it becomes more difficult to maintain healing from the talent, since it burns out from its own moves. If the speed is not enough, you may not be able to heal your ally in time, and energy is gained much more slowly. It is optimal to achieve an indicator that will be slightly lower (-1-3) than that of the rest of the team members, or the same.

Light Cone Rating

The weapon must be related to the Path of Abundance, so that you can take advantage of its passive effect. Preferred stats and bonuses for the cone in question: HP, healing bonus, speed and energy recovery.

Name	Description	Recommendation
Night of Fright ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 53-1164 ATK 21-476 DEF 24-529	Energy recovery rate increases by 12-20%. When one of the team members uses an ultimate, they restore 10-14% HP of the ally with the lowest HP percentage. When the wearer heals any ally, their attack power increases by 2,4-4%. The effect can stack up to 5 times and lasts 2 turns.	Night of Fright is the heroine's signature. Increases energy recovery, which is important for stable use of the ultimate, and also provides the team with attack power and additional healing. For example, if one of the allies has low HP, the other's ult can save him from defeat.
Time Waits for No One ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 57-1270 ATK 21-476 DEF 21-463	The Owner's max HP increases by 18-30%, and his outgoing healing is at 12-20%. When the owner heals an ally, the amount of that healing is recorded. When an ally uses an attack, one random enemy hit takes additional damage of the owner's attack type equal to 36-60% of the recorded healing value. This additional damage is not affected by other buffs and only counts once per turn.	A universal option for a healer. The weapon significantly increases the quality and effectiveness of healing due to a high increase in HP and outgoing healing. However, the cone has no other noticeable advantages other than increased healing. For this reason, it may be inferior to "Shared Feelings" or "Post-Op Conversation" S5.
Shared Feeling ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK 19-423 DEF 18-396	Owner's outgoing healing is increased by 10-20%. Using the owner's skill restores all allies 2-4 energy.	The weapon is useful not only for increasing outgoing healing, but also for restoring energy to the entire team after the unit uses their skill. Considering that this will happen quite often, especially in a tough fight, it will be a passive regeneration.
Post-Op Conversation ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 48-1058 ATK 19-423 DEF 15-330	The owner's energy recovery rate increases by 8-16%. Using the owner's superpower increases their outgoing healing by 12-24%.	Another weapon with energy restoration, one of the most useful stats. However, the second part of the passive effect does not fit with the character's mechanics. It heals with a skill, not an ultimate, which is why increasing the outgoing healing will not be useful. However, due to the presence of energy, the cone shows itself very well.
Dream's Montage ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK 19-423 DEF 18-396	Increases SPD by 8-12%. After attacking an enemy with a broken vulnerability, restores 3-5 owner's energy. This effect can trigger up to 2 times per turn.	Cone provides speed and energy, which are important stats for performing key functions, namely healing and applying buffs. But if speed is given constantly, then to replenish the ultimate scale, you will need to use a basic attack on enemies with a depleted stamina bar. For this reason, the cone is best used in break teams.
Perfect Timing ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK 19-423 DEF 18-396	Owner's resistance to effects increases by 16-32%. Owner's outgoing healing is increased by 33-45% from resistance to wearer's effects to max. 15-27%.	Effect resistance can make the heroine more resistant to various negative effects, including control. At the same time, she increases her own SE to 18% thanks to the upgrade of traces. In combination with the weapon bonus, she can get an extremely high increase in outgoing healing.
Hey, Over Here ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK 19-423 DEF 18-396	The Owner's max HP increases by 8-12%. When the wielder uses a skill, their outgoing healing is increased by 16-28% for 2 turns.	Similarly to Time Waits for No One, increases HP and outgoing healing, but does not deal damage. To get an additional bonus to healing in this case, you will need to use the skill every 2 turns (but not necessarily on a permanent basis). This requirement is conveniently combined with the talent due to the fact that the healing from it also lasts 2 turns.
Warmth Shortens Cold Nights ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 48-1058 ATK 16-370 DEF 18-396	The Owner's max HP increases by 16-32%. Using a basic attack or skill restores all allies' health equal to 2-4% of their max. HP.	Light Cone, obtained from the paid version of the Nameless Honor. Significantly increases health (especially at S5), which will have a positive effect on the quality of healing received by the team. At the same time, using a basic attack or skill will allow you to restore a little more health.
Quid Pro Quo ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK 19-423 DEF 18-396	At the start of his turn, the owner recovers 8-16 units energy to a random ally, except the owner, whose current energy is lower  50%..	A free weapon that can be easily awakened to the maximum. It does not provide any bonuses for the unit itself, but helps restore energy to other allies if their scale is less than half full. Can be used until you get the cones discussed above.
Trove of Marvelous Treasures ⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK 12-264 DEF 12-264	When the owner uses a skill or superpower, their outgoing healing is increased by 12-24%.	A good 3-star cone of light that increases outgoing healing by up to 24%. One of the requirements to receive this buff is to use a skill, which is the main skill that restores the health of allies.
Multiplication ⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK 14-317 DEF 9-198	After using a basic attack, the next action advances by 12-20%.	If you just started playing and have absolutely no alternatives, Reproduction is a perfectly acceptable cone. The progression of the action after using a basic attack does not directly affect the quality of the healing or the buffs, but it does give the opportunity to go more often, therefore, to activate the skill in a timely manner.

What relics and ornaments are needed

Like weapons, relics should provide a bonus to health, healing bonus, speed and energy recovery. The tables below present and break down all the suitable kits that can be installed on a character.

Cavern relics

Name	Effects	Recommendation
Passerby of Wandering Cloud	2 Piece: Increases outgoing healing by 10%. 4 Piece: At the beginning of the battle, instantly restores 1 skill point to all members of the team.	The optimal set suitable for any healer. In addition to increasing outgoing healing, the passive effect of 4 parts of the set at the beginning of the battle gives an additional skill point, which is definitely useful and will allow the heroine to use her skill with less losses.
Passerby of Wandering Cloud Messenger Traversing Hackerspace	2 Piece: Increases outgoing healing by 10%. 2 parts: Increases speed by 6%.	The best combination that increases the effectiveness of healing and benefits the team. The Passerby gives a bonus to healing, and the Messenger gives a bonus to speed, which allows you to apply additional buffs by using the ultimate and reliably restore HP to allies.
Longevous Disciple Passerby of Wandering Cloud	2 parts: Increases max. HP by 12%. 2 Piece: Increases outgoing healing by 10%.	This combination of relics allows you to restore more health when you activate a skill or talent, but it does not provide a speed bonus. This may not be the best option for your rotation if you do not reach the optimal speed value.
Longevous Disciple Messenger Traversing Hackerspace	2 parts: Increases max. HP by 12%. 2 parts: Increases speed by 6%.	Another 2+2 option with increased HP and speed. Since health affects the effectiveness of healing in one way or another, you can use the Apprentice instead of the Passerby. However, this combination provides less effective healing than the previous ones.
Messenger Traversing Hackerspace	2 parts: Increases speed by 6%. 4 parts: Increases the speed of all allies by 12% when the owner uses an ultimate on an ally, for 1 turn. The effect does not stack.	A viable support set that allows you to temporarily increase the speed of the party after activating the girl's super ability for 1 turn. Using this set may reduce the effectiveness of healing, but it is worth it if you are interested in buffs.
Watchmaker, Master of Dream Machinations	2 Piece: Increases break effect by 16%. 4 Piece: Using the owner's superpower increases break effect of all allies by 30% for 2 turns. This effect cannot stack.	The set works in a similar way to the previous one, but is aimed at increasing a less universal characteristic. Can be used in teams where the break effect is important or where a second buffer set is already used, but there is a desire to get additional boosts.

Planar ornaments

Name	Effects	Recommendation
Fleet of the Ageless	2 parts: Increases HP by 12%. If the owner's speed is at least 120, the attack power of all allies is increased by 8%.	An excellent planar ornaments with useful buffs for the team. In addition to the fact that it increases the heroine's health, it provides attack power to allies if her speed is not lower than 120. Since speed boots are used most often, the requirement can be easily met.
Broken keel	2 parts: Increases status resistance by 10%. If the wearer's status resistance is greater than or equal to 30%, the crit. All allies' damage is increased by 10%.	Another good set, increasing the wearer's resistance to effects and allies' critical damage. To fulfill the last condition, the Effect RES must be at least 30%. 18% is present in traces and 10% can be obtained from planar ornaments. That is, it is enough to get another 2% in sub-stats (or equip the "Perfect Timing" cone). If the choice is between “Keel” and “Fleet”, give preference to a set with more suitable characteristics, and pay attention to whether the conditions of the second part of the passive effect are met.
Penacony, Land of the Dreams	2 parts: Increases energy recovery rate by 5%. Increases damage dealt by allies of the same type as the owner by 10%.	In the absence of the previous sets, a set for energy restoration will do. Another nice bonus of this planar is to increase the damage of an ally who has the same element, i.e. wind. The condition is specific, but it boosts the main damage dealer well if observed.
Lushaka, the Sunken Seas	2 parts: Increases energy recovery speed by 5%. If the owner is not in first place in the team, the attack power of the character in first place increases by 12%.	A more versatile option for energy recovery, as it combines not only with wind heroes, but also with other elements. To increase the attack power of the main DD, you need to put him first in the team, and place the heroine in a free slot (for example, third or fourth).
Sprightly Vonwacq	2 parts: Increases energy recovery rate by 5%. If the owner's speed is at least 120, at the beginning of the battle the action immediately advances by 40%.	An alternative planar ornaments for restoring energy. Although the passive condition is more universal, since it is enough to gain 120 speed, it is generally less effective (provided that the effect of the previous set is available).

Team Guide for Huohuo in HSR

As a representative of the Path of Abundance, Huohuo's role in the team is support. She fits into absolutely any team where a healer is needed. In addition, the girl from the foxian people is able to partially fulfill the role of a buffer due to the mechanics of her superpower.

Best Characters

The following characters can join the girl's team:

Character	Damage Path and Type	Features
Jingliu	Destruction Ice	A strong DPS character who relies on the special state of Spectral Transmigration. While in this state, she deals increased damage and consumes the HP of allies, which is why the team especially needs support from the Path of Abundance. In addition, she will benefit from buffs to attack power and energy recovery.
Blade	Destruction Wind	The character's gameplay is tied to taking damage and spending health, so he needs a healer who can insure against receiving a fatal blow. Despite the fact that the bulk of his damage comes from HP, the bonus to attack power from the girl's superpower will not be superfluous.
Imbibitor Lunae	Destruction Imaginary	One of the strongest representatives of the Path of Destruction. Deals high damage to both a single target and a group of enemies. However, it consumes quite a lot of skill points. It is necessary to distribute skill points between him and other heroes depending on the situation on the battlefield. For example, if the enemy plans to attack the Devourer, hold back 1 point for healing.
Mydei	Destruction Imaginary	Mydei won't be able to properly appreciate the increase in attack power, since his skill depends on HP. However, he will be grateful for the energy restoration and constant healing from the outside. The latter will allow the hero to carry out multiple attacks and not have any survivability issues.
Firefly	Destruction Fire	A strong main damage dealer who plays through break mechanics. Independently inflicts fiery vulnerability on opponents and perfectly destroys the enemy's stamina bar, but requires the use of a skill every turn. In its normal state, it greatly reduces its own health, so without good support it can find itself in a dangerous position.
Xueyi	Destruction Quantum	Can act as both a main and a secondary damage dealer, supporting with her own DPS a more powerful representative of the damage-dealing Path. The main characteristic of the girl is break effect, therefore, she is extremely easy to build.
Clara	Destruction Physical	The vagabond girl is an excellent tank and secondary damage dealer. She distracts opponents, taking most of the damage, and uses bonus attacks. Although the damage she takes is reduced by her talent and superpower, she cannot heal on her own, meaning a healer is still needed for additional defense.
Yunli	Destruction Physical	An excellent damage dealer and tank. Can self-heal with a skill, but usually plays at a low speed, which does not always allow for timely healing. The Judge will not only provide stable healing, but also restore energy, which is very important for Yunli due to the fact that her strongest counterattack is on her ultimate.
Arlan	Destruction Lightning	Like Blade, he loses health when using the skill and needs healing. At the same time, his damage depends more on the attack power, which makes the enhancement more in demand. Increasing energy recovery, in turn, will allow you to activate the ultimate almost on cooldown.
Hook	Destruction Fire	A budget damage dealer who can serve as both a main DD and a sub-DD. Relies on applying the Burn status, dealing periodic fire damage to one enemy (or several at E4). She will benefit from not only buffs, but also stable healing.
Physical MC	Destruction Physical	A free character with damage to solo targets and groups of enemies. Its damage itself isn't that great, but it's still a pretty useful damage dealer early in the game. In combination with buffs applied by the fox girl and stable healing, she will be able to cover any content for a long time.
Misha	Destruction Ice	A universal damage dealer, capable of taking the position of the main damage dealer or helping in a team with other main damage dealers. The key skill, an ultimate, deals high damage to one enemy or group of monsters, is inexpensive in terms of energy requirements and can freeze.
Aglaea	Remembrance Lightning	Aglaea's main feature is her ultimate skill, which puts the heroine into the Supreme Stance state. Accordingly, the girl needs good support, capable of pouring in energy. The healer from Luofu Xianzhou perfectly meets this requirement.
Castorice	Remembrance Quantum	Any good healer is valuable to Castorice because she uses up allied characters' health with her skill. Although she doesn't need energy regeneration or attack power, the Judge will provide stable healing, and the buffs will be useful to other allies.
The Trailblazer	Remembrance Ice	Excellent support even for those characters that do not have the summon mechanic: increases the critical damage of allies, advances the action, and also deals additional damage of the true type. Despite the fact that the unit himself is able to heal, as part of clearing high-level content, he may need defense from the outside.
Seele	The Hunt Quantum	A powerful representative of the Path of the Hunt with high damage to one enemy. She is vulnerable to receiving finishing damage, so the question of having a healer in the team is especially acute. Since her damage depends on the attack power, and the ultimate is important in the rotation, unit buffs will bring a lot of benefits.
Feixiao	The Hunt Wind	The Arbiter General excels at dealing with large enemies, relying on the bonus attack that comes with her talent, skill, and ultimate. She synergizes best with heroes that can deal additional damage, allowing her to charge up "Flying Aureus" for the Ultimate.
Doctor Ratio	The Hunt Imaginary	Ratio, as a representative of the Path of the Hunt, is in dire need of support from the outside (be it shields, healing or damage absorption). The Judge-in-training, in turn, will not only restore health, but also "fill" energy, and also increase attack power.
March 7	The Hunt Imaginary	A secondary damage dealer who, using a skill, can apply a buff to one ally. At the same time, the heroine herself deals decent damage and further boosts herself, promoting the action and increasing the outgoing damage.
Boothill	The Hunt Physical	A strong damage dealer that deals high damage to one enemy during a Duel. While in this state, he receives not only enhancements, but also more incoming damage, which is why he needs the support of the Path of Abundance or Preservation.
Yanqing	The Hunt Ice	For the work of talent Soulsteel Sync is undesirable for the character to receive damage. For this reason, a Path of Preservation support is usually placed next to him. However, a healer is still necessary so that the rest of the ally and Yanqing himself can, if necessary, restore their HP.
Topaz and Numby	The Hunt Fire	A damage dealer who plays through bonus hits. In addition to dealing damage, she also buffs other heroes who use bonus attacks. Because of this, they get a huge advantage in combination with her. The Luofu Judge will not only help with healing, but also with buffs.
Dan Heng	The Hunt Wind	Free main DD received during the prologue. Despite its availability, it has fairly high damage and is easy to use. However, like most fighters of the Path of the Hunt, he has a low base health and defense.
Sushang	The Hunt Physical	Effectively breaks physical vulnerability and specializes in inflicting damage on one enemy with the help of skill and superpower. For a comfortable game, she needs not only buffers, but also healers. Moreover, the heroine covers both needs at once, providing everything necessary.
Jing Yuan	Erudition Lightning	An excellent character of the Path of Erudition, who relies on massive damage in battle. Its main feature is the summoning of the Lightning Lord, who acts on a par with other members and units and deals damage with a bonus attack. It is important for Jing Yuan not to be controlled, which is decided by the talent and skills of the trainee judge.
The Herta	Erudition Ice	The Scientist deals high area damage with her enhanced skill and super ability, but is also effective against single targets. In addition to Erudition characters, due to the mechanics, she will benefit from supports and units that can attack frequently, as this allows her to get more energy and collect special stacks of "Interpretations".
Rappa	Erudition Imaginary	A damage dealer who plays from break and specializes in depleting enemy toughness. At the same time, he deals massive damage to all enemies on a consistent basis with the enhanced basic attack received from the ultimate. Given the importance of the ultimate, the energy regeneration will be especially useful.
Argenti	Erudition Physical	One of the best characters against large groups of opponents. Attacks all enemies on the field with her skill and ultimate, restoring energy for each enemy damaged. In a team with a healer, she will act as the main damage dealer, who will be helped by the girl with buffs and energy boosts.
Jade	Erudition Quantum	Specializes in dealing area damage and performing a bonus strike. When using the skill, makes the selected team member “Debt collector”, due to which its speed increases and it becomes possible to deal additional damage.
Himeko	Erudition Fire	Fire damage dealer with massive damage. All her basic stats are average, as for a legendary character, so assistance in the form of constant healing, increased attack power and energy restoration will have a positive effect on her effectiveness during battle.
Herta	Erudition Ice	A useful free character who performs well at the beginning of the game. Capable of attacking enemies with all active abilities, as well as a bonus attack that triggers when enemies reach half health or below.
Serval	Erudition Lightning	Budget replacement for Jing Yuan. Serval also masters the Lightning element and belongs to the Path of Erudition. However, her overall DPS is slightly lower and she does not rely on bonus attacks, but on dealing damage over time by applying the Shock debuff.
Qingque	Erudition Quantum	Free hero for completing the Forgotten Hall. Capable of significantly increasing her damage thanks to the mechanics of tossing jade tiles. In battle, deals damage to both one target and several enemies. Although mass DPS is less consistent due to greater reliance on dice rolls.
Robin	Harmony Physical	One of the best support characters with buffs that apply to all allies. Ideally fits into teams with damage dealers who play from a bonus attack, but will also be useful in many other situations due to the increase in crit. damage, attack power and overall DPS.
Bronya	Harmony Wind	A great buffer obtained from a standard banner. Increases critical damage with an ultimate, and attack power with a skill. Can turn one ally's action forward by 100%.
Ruan Mei	Harmony Ice	A support that increases damage dealt, speed, break efficiency and resistance break of all types of elements. Can delay the action, prolong the break state and passively deal damage. Shows excellent performance in builds with two damage dealers.
Sparkle	Harmony Quantum	The main advantage of Sparkle is not only the increase in crit. damage, as well as total outgoing damage. The Masked Fool directly affects the increase in the number of skill points used during battle, and also contributes to their accelerated recovery.
Sunday	Harmony Imaginary	Universal support character: combines well not only with heroes who summon independent combat creatures to the battle arena, but also with other representatives of damage-dealing Paths. Increases crit. chance and crit. damage, advances the action by 100%, is a support that is undemanding to skill points, restores energy, and also comprehensively increases outgoing damage.
Tribbie	Harmony Imaginary	A powerful support with increased break of all resistance types and overall damage to the team. Despite the popular buffs, she plays best in combination with area-of-effect characters, as this allows her to restore more energy. However, this can be partially compensated for by a speed build.
Asta	Harmony Fire	Free support character that provides the team with speed and attack power. At the same time, she can independently inflict good damage with the help of her skill, breaking through the fiery vulnerability of opponents. Pairs well with heroes of its element.
Tingyun	Harmony Lightning	One of the best epic heroes of the Path of Harmony. Increases damage, attack power and restores energy. Her buffs are almost identical to those offered by the healer, so their union will increase the existing buffs several times. This combination is especially relevant if you have expensive superpowers.
Fugue	Nihility Fire	Debuffer that supports teams focused on depleting the toughness of enemies. Increases break effect, allows you to ignore vulnerabilities and further reduces the defense of enemies thanks to the negative status "Foxian Prayer". In addition, it is capable of independently inflicting good damage with its ultimate and enhanced attack.
Kafka	Nihility Lightning	Deals a lot of damage using periodic damage. Kafka's specialty is that she instantly activates all DOT statuses on enemy targets. This allows her to easily destroy even the largest monsters. Attack power and energy recovery will further enhance her.
Black Swan	Nihility Wind	Debuffer with lane wind damage from the Arcana status, which, after using the Black Swan superpower, becomes all DOT effects. In addition, it lowers defense and increases damage received by opponents. Also needs attack power and energy.
Silver Wolf	Nihility Quantum	The strongest debuffer due to various debuff (reduced attack power, speed and defense) and the ability to create a weakness to the elements of one of the allies. In addition to imposing negative effects, can independently inflict damage with skills and superpowers.
Acheron	Nihility Lightning	A powerful attacking character of the Path of Nihility. Acheron has a unique super ability that does not require energy recovery. Instead, it is necessary to impose negative effects and thereby gain points of Sundered Dream to activate the ult. Despite the fact that the healer weakens only with technique at the beginning of the battle, she copes well with supporting the team: heals and buffs.
Pela	Nihility Ice	Lowers the defense of all enemies with an ultimate, while dealing ice damage. Can remove buffs from single enemies with her skill. When she is on the battlefield, the hit chance of all allies' effects and the damage dealt to enemies with debuffs (first and second trace) increases.

Top Teams

Based on the characters considered, the following teams can be formed:

Character 1	Character 2	Character 3	Character 4	Features
Jingliu	Tingyun Bronya	Pela Misha	Huohuo	A team that focuses on maximizing Jingliu's strength. She gains a high increase in attack power, energy recovery, and deals increased damage through debuffs. At the same time, the judge acts as a healer who fully protects allies with constant healing from the skill and talent.
Blade Mydei	Bronya	Pela Jingliu	Huohuo	A team with Blade/Mydei in the main DD position. Bronya moves his action forward, increases critical damage. Pela lowers enemy defense, and the judge heals and helps restore energy. If necessary, Pela can be replaced, for example, by Jingliu. The former sword master will inflict additional damage and help Blade/Mydei inflict even more damage due to the peculiarity of his personal talent.
Boothill Firefly Rappa	Ruan Mei March 7	Imaginary MC Fugue	Huohuo	Break team. Ruan Mei and the Trailblazer of Harmony/Fugue increase break effect and do not use the skill often, therefore they are perfect for damage dealers. Huohuo is needed not only for gradual healing, but also for the attack power buff and energy recovery from the ultimate, as well as removing debuffs. In place of one of the buffers, you can also put March 7 (the Hunt) for additional damage.
Acheron	Silver Wolf Pela	Welt Guinaifen	Huohuo	A team with Acheron acting as the main DD. Path of Nihility characters provide max bonus from the Abyss trace and apply debuffs, helping to accumulate Sundered Dream points and Crimson Knot stacks. The Judge-in-training heals with a skill and passively at the beginning of an ally's turn, after using the ult, or when HP drops to half. Activating the talent also removes a debuff from a team member.
Kafka	Black Swan Sampo Luka	Guinaifen Asta	Huohuo	Team with Kafka playing from periodic damage. Black Swan, Sampo, Luka or Guinaifen apply DOT statuses to enemies, which the Stellaron Hunter then "explodes" with a skill or super ability, causing colossal damage. Guinaifen can be replaced with Asta, who will provide additional buffs and apply Burn with a basic attack with an 80% chance.
The Herta	Jade Serval Herta	Tribbie Robin	Huohuo	A team with the Herta, who needs an Erudition character, as this boosts not only her, but also the rest of the team. The optimal addition to the build will be a buffer/debuffer, giving useful effects or debuff enemies. In addition, it is worth noting that the heroine values ​​​​allies who can accumulate Interpretation levels with attacks.
Castorice	Tribbie	Sunday Ice MC	Huohuo	Castorice plays from the summoning of the memosprite and depends on HP, so support characters should be selected taking these features into account. In particular, Tribbie with universal buffs and MC Remembrance/Sunday with bonuses for summoned creatures are great. The healer should make sure that health does not drop too much.
Imbibitor Lunae	Yukong Sparkle	Asta Hanya	Huohuo	A strong unit with the Imbibitor that receives a large number of buffs. Since he spends a lot of skill points, use his skill first, then buffs and only heal when necessary. At the same time, in a particularly difficult battle, it is always advisable to leave an “extra” skill point for emergency healing.
Jing Yuan	Ruan Mei Tingyun	Topaz Asta	Huohuo	A team that targets Jing Yuan's buff. Ruan Mei increases all damage dealt, speed, and break efficiency/Tingyun increases attack power, energy recovery, and helps deal additional damage with electricity. Topaz increases bonus attack damage and attacks enemies herself/Asta increases speed. Healer takes care of healing and provides even more buffs.
Feixiao Yunli Clara	Robin Tribbie	Topaz Jade Himeko	Huohuo	A team that plays through bonus attacks. Feixiao/Yunli/Clara, Topaz/Jade/Himeko are damage dealers who destroy opponents with active abilities and out of turn follow-up attacks. Robin effectively boosts the characters' bonus attacks, and also increases attack power, crit damage, and overall DPS. In turn, Tribbie deals additional damage and buffs all allies.
Argenti	Hanya Sushang	Tingyun	Huohuo	A group with physical AoE from Argenti. The knight deals damage in the area under the attack and speed buffs of two supports. The healer from Luofu heals the team and removes debuffs. If there is a lack of damage to one target, you can enlist the support of Sushan or Luka.
Yanqing	Welt	Gepard Fire MC	Huohuo	Team with Yanqing as a main DD who attacks one enemy target. Welt inflicts imaginary damage and weakens enemies by applying debuffs to them (reduced speed, slowed down). Since it is undesirable for Yanqing not to receive damage for the talent to work, it is recommended to additionally install a Preservation Path character (Gepard, Fire Trailblazer).
Seele	Bronya Sparkle	Silver Wolf	Huohuo	A team with Seele, where Silver Wolf makes enemies weak to Quantum or Wind. All support characters are useful for Seele, as they give her the necessary buffs (action advancement, attack power, energy recovery, crit damage). Although supports do not deal damage, they can use basic attack to generate skill points and simultaneously break the enemy shield.

Is The Character Worth Pulling?

Huohuo is a Path of Abundance character that combines the functionality of the Path of Harmony. She effectively heals, removes debuffs, and applies buffs: increases attack power and restores energy to all allies. This combination allows her to play 2 roles at once or act as a secondary source of buffs.

At the same time, the trainee judge is quite easy to build and F2P friendly. Her healing depends on HP, which means you can focus only on this stat in order to effectively cope with your task as a healer. However, she doesn’t really need eidolons or a signature light cone to realize her potential and benefit the team.

Which is better: signature or E1

The first Eidolon is better because it makes her more economical with her skill points and increases the speed of the whole team. While the signature weapon also provides useful buffs like energy regeneration and extra healing/attack power for allies, there are many other great options in the cones, including epic and free ones. E1 will allow the heroine to be more flexible and will provide a valuable speed boost, which is needed by most characters.

We hope we helped you put together the best build for Huohuo and figure out how to play her in Honkai: Star Rail. Feel free to ask questions in comments, so that the author or other players can help you.

Achievements

There is one achievement associated with the young judge that cannot be completed in the trial run.

• Come Here! Now Go Away! - Use the Fiend: Impeachment of Evil technique to make 6 targets flee at once. Reward: star jade ×5. Find at least 6 enemies and lure them to you so that they are connected with a golden thread, then use the technique.
