What’s the best Honkai Star Rail Sampo build?
Sampo is a four-star character who uses the wind element and the path of Nihility. He is designed to inflict damage over time (DoT) and debuffs on enemies, making him a valuable addition to any team composition focused on maximizing damage output.
| Best light cone | Eyes of the Prey |
| Light cone substitutes | In the Name of the World, Good Night and Sleep Well |
| Best relic set | Eagle of Twilight Line |

Sampo dishes out plenty of good damage and his key role revolves around his DoT. He applies wind shear and debuffs to multiple enemies. This application and his blinding technique allow other high-impact damage dealers like Honkai Star Rail’s Jing Yuan to finish enemies off, making team synergy essential.
When building your Sampo, focus on increasing his effect hit rate, which helps him apply his DoT and debuffs effectively. Additionally, prioritize boosting his attack, wind damage, and speed to enhance his overall effectiveness in battles.
How do I use Sampo?
First things first, when sizing up an enemy, use Sampo’s technique to throw a bomb at them and blind them for a few seconds. This gives you the upper hand as blinded enemies cannot detect you.
Then, in combat, use Sampo’s skill to apply wind shear, which deals plenty of damage over time. His ultimate also deals significant damage to wind-weak enemies. Pairing him with DoT units like Kafka and Guinaifen makes for a highly effective team composition.

The four-star light cone Eyes of Prey fits Sampo’s kit perfectly and is relatively easy to obtain through the normal gacha. If looking for alternatives, focus on light cones that enhance his effect hit rate or DoT damage, ensuring they align with the path of Nihility.
