First things first, let’s take a look at an overview of Himeko. She is one of the best five-star characters in Honkai Star Rail of the Fire element and belongs to the Erudition Path

  • As she belongs to the Erudition Path, she can carry out insane amounts of Multi-target damage and insanely good AoE damage that can shred opponents to pieces and not let any be left.

  • As an AoE DPS, she is ranked as an S-tiered character in Honkai Star Rail, which makes her a must-have in your Himeko Team. 
  • She can support your journey in progressing through the main content in Honkai Star Rail, which includes that of the main plot, as well as more difficult content such as the Simulated Universe or even the Forgotten Halls and the Memory of Chaos. 
  • She can handle larger groups of enemies since her multi-targeting allows her to hit more than one enemy at once, allowing her to dominate them.

Moving on, the next thing that can be looked at are the Traces for Himeko, which includes her techniques, basic attacks, skills, and her Ult. 

  • Incomplete Combustion (Technique): After using the technique, it creates a dimension that will last for 15 seconds, and after entering combat, there is a 100% chance to enhance the fire damage that is dealt to enemies by 10% for a total of 2 turns. 
  • Sawblade Tuning (Basic Attack): Himeko can deal fire damage equal to 50% of her base attack to one opponent. 
  • Molten Detonation (Skill): She can deal fire damage equal to 100% of her base attack to one enemy and deal fire damage equal to 40% to enemies that are close by. 
  • Heavenly Flare (Ultimate): Fire damage equivalent to 138% of her base attack is dealt to all opponents, and she also regenerates 5 energy for every opponent she kills. 
  • Victory Rush (Talent): If an enemy gets affected by the Weakness Break, she gains one charge point. If she is fully charged, anytime an ally carries out an attack, Himeko will perform a follow-up attack and make enemies take in fire damage equal to 70% of her base attack. 

Her minor traces are listed below:

  • Benchmark: If her HP is more than or equal to 80%, her crit rate increases by 50%. 

Team Comps 

Moving on, quite a few Himeko Team Comps can work with her, and since she is a multi-target DPS, she needs characters that will increase her overall damage output and ones that can buff her. 

Team Comps        
1 Himeko  Pela  Bronya  Bailu
2 Himeko  Hook  Natasha  Pela 
3 Himeko  Asta Serval  Natasha 
4 Himeko  Bronya  Tingyun  Bailu

Last but not least, while getting Eidolons can get extremely expensive, for whoever can whale out and wants to get Himeko Eidolons, the best Eidolons to go for are her E1 and E2.
