Getting a character that you haven’t seen before their release is quite rare inHonkai: Star Rail, but Rappa is one among the few of these. These characters have quite a lot to prove since they don’t have any pre-built hype, and Rappa was successful in that with her beautiful and colorful vibe.
She’s a five-star Imaginary unit following the path of Erudition, and her main play style is based on Break-based damage. While she might not have a lot of choices, Rappa can still begreat for endgame modesif you build her properly.
Best Rappa Relics And Planar Ornaments
There was no play style involving Break-based damage in Honkai: Star Railuntil Boothill’s release. While there were some four-star units based on it, youwouldn’t go a long way with them due to the lack of proper gear. Thankfully, the situation is different now with you having some decent choices for Rappa:
Relics
Iron Cavalry Against the Scourge
This is undoubtedly the best in slot relic set for Rappa as it can give her some extra Break Effect while also allowing her toignore up to 25 percent of the enemy’s DEFin certain situations.
These situations involve the character having over 250 percent Break Effect, which is fairly easy with Rappa’s teams.
Thief of Shooting Meteor
If you’re in the early game, you can try going for this set to get a whopping 32 percent Break Effect while alsoregenerating Energy upon triggering Weakness Break.
Planar Ornaments
Talia: Kingdom of Banditry
While it might not be a great choice, Talia still serves as the best one for Rappa,giving her a 16 percent Break Effect initiallyand then another 20 percent if you can manage to get over 145 SPD.
Forge of the Kalpagni Lantern (situational)
If you’re going to hit enemies with Fire weakness consistently, you can use this set instead toget some SPD and a whopping 40 percent Break Effect.
SPD > ATK Percent
Best Rappa Light Cones
Rappa’s light cone situation isvery similar to her relics, and here are your best choices:
Ninjutsu Inscription: Dazzling Evilbreaker
As Rappa’s signature light cone, this one is bound to be her best in slot. It gives her a ton of Break Effect withextra Energy at the start of the battle.
Moreover, your movement can advance by 50 percent afterusing two basic attacks past the Ultimate, allowing you to do the third buffed basic attack much faster.
Night on the Milky Way
While the ATK buff from this light cone is good, the best part about it is the30 percent DMG bonusafter breaking an enemy’s weakness.
After the Charmony Fall
This is a gacha light cone that can increase both your Break Effect and SPD, with thelatter only after using your Ultimatefor two turns.
Eternal Calculus
Finally, this F2P-friendly light cone is single-handedly good because of the16 percent SPD you can get upon hitting more than three enemies, which helps a lot if you’re using the Talia ornament set.
Rappa Skill Overview And Priority
Rappa’s skills can be a little hard to understand, butthey’re also easy to use once you get the hang of it. Here’s the general idea:
When it comes to upgrading Rappa, her Talent is the main priority as this increases the extra Break DMG you’ll deal. You canfollow this up by her Ultimate and then the Basic Attack. While you don’t necessarily have to upgrade her Skill, you can still do it to around level six in case you need to use it sometimes.
Finally, you’d want to unlock Rappa’s bonus abilities as soon as you can since they play a drastic role in her kit.
