Here’s everything you need to know about Honkai Star Rail’s Welt.
What’s the best Honkai Star Rail Welt build?

| Light cone alternative | Eyes of the Prey |
| Best relic set | DPS: Wastelander of Banditry Desert Debuffer: Pioneer Diver of Deep Waters |

When building Welt, you want to primarily focus on effect hit rate to maximize his utility, along with crit rate, crit damage, attack, and imaginary damage where possible.
His best light cone is In the Name of the World. Both a full set of Wastelander of Banditry Desert or Pioneer Diver of Deep Waters works well with a two-piece set of Pan-Galactic Commercial Enterprise. Keep reading for a more detailed breakdown and some more accessible alternatives.
How should I use Welt?
Honkai Star Rail’s Welt deals some great damage, but his core responsibility in most teams is his utility. He excels at imprisoning and slowing enemies, often incapacitating them and allowing other teammates to come in and finish the job. As one of only a few imaginary damage characters in the current roster, he’s also extremely valuable when facing off against enemies with imaginary damage weakness.
Use Welt’s skill to slow the enemy, delaying their turns and making room for your attackers to deal more damage. Then, when it’s charged, use Welt’s ultimate to deal massive imaginary damage and imprison enemies, slowing them further.
What are the best light cones for Welt?
In the Name of the World is a five-star light cone designed specifically for Welt. Its increased hit rate helps ensure his imprisonment and slow debuffs snag as many enemies as possible, allowing you to sweep through most battles in a breeze.
However, as it’s a five-star light cone obtainable through gacha, you’ll need a sprinkle of luck from the RNG gods to snag it. If you want to equip him with something in the meantime, aim for something that also increases his effect hit rate where possible, and ensure it also aligns with the path of Nihility. Sampo’s Eyes of the Prey light cone is a strong four-star option.
| Light cone | Effect | How to obtain |
| In the Name of the World | Increases Welt’s damage to debuffed enemies by 20%. Using Welt’s skill raises the effect hit rate and attack stats by 20% each | Gacha |
| Eyes of the Prey | Increases Welt’s effect hit rate by 20% and increases DoT by 24% | Gacha |
| Void | At the beginning of the battle, Welt’s effect hit rate increases by 20% for three turns | Gacha, treasure chests, quest rewards |
What are the best relics for Welt?
As with his light cone, the best relic set for DPS Welt is Wastelander of Banditry Desert due to its increase in imaginary damage and crit rate. Its four-equipped buff suits his skill set perfectly, as he consistently applies debuffs, which means this set consistently increases his damage and crit rate.
The new relic set, Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters, synergizes really well with Welt’s debuffing kit, so is worth trying out if you’re more experienced with the game
