Best Honkai Star Rail Trailblazer Build

Although main characters in games such as Honkai Star Rail aren’t usually super strong, the Trailblazer is a good unit. While they don’t top our Honkai Star Rail tier list, they are a simple, zero-cost character that can slot into most team comps, making them a great option for free-to-play players that just want to enjoy the story. Now, if you want to expand your pool of characters, don’t forget to redeem all the latest Honkai Star Rail codes to scoop up Stellar Jade for wishing on banners.

What is the best Trailblazer build?

The best Trailblazer build is:

Light Cone – On the Fall of an Aeon Relics – Champion of Streetwise Boxing set (four-piece) Eidolons – Level Six: A Trailblazing Will Team comp – Trailblazer, Tingyun, Bronya, Bailu

As expected from the main character, their kit has nothing special. Trailblazer’s main feature is their capacity of using all elements in the game. In this build, we are focusing on the physical Trailblazer, which is the first one you have access to and that follows the destruction path. The character’s simplicity, however, doesn’t mean they can’t perform well in battle as well as have a consistent damage output in fights. To make the most out of this character, we prepared this build focused on maximizing the Trailblazer’s best attribute: pure strength. We are hitting enemies and hitting them hard!

Trailblazer Light Cones

The best Trailblazer Light Cones are: These are the only five-star Honkai Star Rail Light Cones available at the time of writing this guide, but both of them work perfectly with the Trailblazer. Of the two options, Something Irreplaceable is the best fit for difficult battles as it provides sustainability. They’re not easy to get, however, so there are two four-star options which would serve well, too.

Best Trailblazer Relics

The best Trailblazer Relics are: Because this is a build for the physical Trailblazer, our focus here is to increase their attack as much as possible. After all, the damage of their basic attack, skill, and ultimate are all calculated based on their attack. So, running a four-pieces Champion of Streetwise Boxing relic set is your best option. It increases your physical damage by 10% and after the character attacks or is hit, their attack increases by 5% for the rest of the battle.

Best Trailblazer Planar Ornaments

The best Trailblazer Planar Ornaments are: The two-pieces Space Sealing Station set is your go-to option in terms of Planar Ornament. With the two pieces, you increase the Trailblazer’s attack by 12% and once their speed reaches 120 or higher, they receive an extra 12% attack. That attack bonus could come in handy in a pinch, making this a valuable set to get. You can find it by challenging Simulated Universe.

Best Trailblazer Eidolons

The best Eidolons for the Trailblazer are: Considering the Trailblazer is the only character for whom you can get the Eidolons from quests or other NPCs, having them at Eidolon level six is not going to be difficult. It might take a while, but A Trailblazing Will is a strong passive so the grind will be worthwhile.

Trailblazer Ascension Materials

Here’s the Trailblazer’s Ascension Materials:

Credits Thief’s Instinct Enigmatic Ectostella Usurper’s Scheme Conqueror’s Will

The Trailblazer is one of the more basic characters, so their upgrade materials are the easiest to farm. Thief’s Instinct is dropped by enemies at the storage zone, Simulated Universe, and can be earned through assignments. Enigmatic Ectostella is given as mission and trailblaze level rewards. Usurpur’s Scheme is dropped by enemies at the storage zone above equilibrium level two, and at the Simulated Universe. You can craft it using the Omni-Synthesizer also. To get Conqueror’s Will, you can focus on killing enemies at the storage zone above equilibrium level four, and at the Simulated Universe.

Best Trailblazer team comp

The best Trailblazer team comp is:

Trailblazer (Physical) – Main DPS Tingyun – Buffer Bronya – Buffer Bailu – Healer

For this team comp, we’ve opted for a hypercarry team that allows the Trailblazer to keep swinging multiple times per turn. Tingyun and Bronya serve as your primary buffers to Trailblazer’s attack and crit rate, with their respective energy replenishment and turn manipulation abilities also providing some helpful assistance. Finally, we’ve opted for Bailu due to her powerful single-target healing that can effortlessly support the entirety of your team. She’s also invaluable when tackling bosses, since her Gourdful Elixir talent can automatically revive any ally that receives a killing blow.
That’s all for the best Honkai Star Rail Trailblazer build.
