Here’s everything in our Honkai Star Rail Sushang build:
What’s the best Honkai Star Rail Sushang build?
| Best light cone | In the Night |
| Light cone substitutes | Swordplay |
| Best relic set | Champion of Streetwise Boxing |
| Planar ornaments | Space Sealing Station |
| Main stats | Body – Crit rate/damage Feet – Attack Link rope – Attack Planar sphere – Physical damage bonus |
| Sub stats | Attack, crit damage, crit rate, speed |
Sushang deals high single-target damage, with a kit geared towards taking down bosses rather than groups of enemies. As such, she’s not as universal as other DPS, but her ability to advance her own attacks and dish out heaps of physical damage makes her a powerful asset for many solo-target challenges. Plus, she has a massive, chubby bird that butt-stomps enemies during her ult – what’s not to love?
In terms of relics and light cones, Champion of Streetwise Boxing is your go-to for a four-piece set, whereas a light cone granting extra crit rate or damage buffs is key.
How do I use Sushang?
Your Sushang is key to dealing plenty of physical damage to enemies with that weakness. Triggering Sword Stance deals a huge amount of damage after Sushang breaks an enemy’s weakness, or uses her ultimate, which also advances her action forward, so you can change the lineup and use her to finish off an enemy before they get a chance to move.
What are the best light cones for Sushang?
Swordplay is a four-star light cone that is tailored to Sushang’s kit, complimenting her role as a single-target DPS. As it’s a four-star, it’s relatively easy to pull through the normal banner. However, if you’re looking for something to equip her with in the meantime, we recommend something that increases her attack. Also, be sure to only equip her with a light cone that aligns with the path of the Hunt, in order to activate its skill.
| In the Night | Increases Sushang’s crit rate by 18%. While she is in battle, for every ten speed above 100, her basic attack and skill damage increases by 6%, and the crit damage of her ultimate increases by 12%. This can stack up to six times | Light cone banner alongside Seele |
| Cruising in the Stellar Sea | Increases Sushang’s crit rate by 8%, and increases her crit rate against enemies with HP less than 50% by an extra 8%. When she defeats an enemy, her attack increases by 20% for two turns | Herta’s Store |
| Swordplay | Each time Sushang hits the same target, her damage dealt increases by 8%, stacking up to five times. The stack effect is reset when Sushang changes targets | Gacha |
| Adversarial | Increases Sushang’s speed by 10% when she defeats an enemy | Gacha |
What are the best relics for Sushang?
Sushang’s kit is fairly simple – she likes to hit hard. That means Space Sealing Station is the best planar ornament set for her kit as it further boosts her attack potential.
Unsurprisingly, the best relic set for Sushang is Champion of Streetwise Boxing, as it increases her already high physical damage even further. It also gives her a nice boost to her attack when she performs or receives an attack, which compliments her speed and advances. When it comes to sub-stats, we recommend you aim for more physical damage, attack, and speed where possible.
If you use Sushang in a team with a debuffer, you can use a set of Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters to add to her damage.
Relics
| Champion of Streetwise Boxing | Two pieces: Increases Sushang’s physical damage Four pieces: after Sushang attacks or is hit by an enemy, her attack increases by 5%
