hsr mini build guides!

meow!

all guides are my personal opinions but ive done a lot of research okay? ok. argue with the wall idc. i tried to provide as much info as i could but i had to make some decisions for clarity's sake... take w a grain of salt if u wanna build them differently!! :3

HOW TO USE: enter the name of a character with a "!" in front (no space) to find a specific character. i have tried to include as many variations as possible for some characters, but just remove the "!" if you absolutely cant find them. i refer to stelle/caelus as trailblazer for sake of clarity.

    !Acheron Nihility Lightning Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters Izumo Gensei and Takama Divine Realm Body: CR=CDMG
    Feet: SPD or ATK
    Sphere: Lightning DMG or ATK

    		 1. Along the Passing Shore (sig)
    2. Boundless Choreo (gacha)
    3. Good Night and Sleep Well (gacha)     		Acheron is a main DPS character.
    [more] She relies on debuffs, Nihility teammates, and does not benefit from energy regeneration. [more explaination here]
    		CR: 70%+/CDMG: 160%+ (the more the merrier)
    ATK: 3000-3500
    SPD: Base or 135+    		 Acheron's best teammates are always going to be Nihility characters.
    [more]She also benefits from sustains/supports that can consistently apply debuffs (such as Aventurine or Gallagher). Do not play Acheron with ERR characters like Tingyun or Huohuo. Preservation MC with Trend of the Universal Market (gacha lightcone) is also an OK sustain for Acheron, as DoT and Taunt count as a debuffs.
