Star Rail – Acheron Build Guide

When it comes to building Acheron in Honkai: Star Rail, understanding her kit and where her damage comes from is essential. Acheron depends on her Ultimate to delete enemies from her path of nothingness. However, to be able to use her own Ult, Acheron can’t really activate it herself; she needs other units to debuff enemies for her.




This kind of limitation is essential to keep in mind when building Acheron in Honkai: Star Rail since you can build more damage instead of Energy Regeneration while others are working to get her Ult for her.

The notable way to build Acheron in Honkai: Star Rail is to include more ATK% instead of SPD in her build. It’s because Acheron mostly deals damage through her Ultimate and can’t activate it herself. She needs a team of debuffers with her to do the job. For that, it’s better to stack as much damage on her to take full advantage of her Ult. So, the best stats to build Acheron with are Crit DMG or Crit Rate on Body, ATK% on Feet, ATK% or Lightning DMG on Planar Sphere, and ATK% on Link Rope. Additionally, it’s worth noting that SPD on Feet becomes a priority when Acheron gets her E2.

As a Nihility unit that depends on debuffs to perform, it’s best to build Acheron with 4pc Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters since it adds more damage based on the enemy’s debuffs. Another good option is 4pc Prisoner in Deep Confinement, but it can only be used if Acheron is paired with DoT enablers like Kafka or Black Swan in Honkai: Star Rail.


As for Planar Ornaments, Izumo Gensei and Takama Divine Realm is made for Acheron as it notably raises her Crit Rate if she is matched with another Nihility unit, which Acheron needs to activate her fourth Ascension passive. Inert Salsotto is a good temporary replacement since Acheron relies heavily on her Ultimate in Honkai: Star Rail. Now, when it comes to endgame content, like Pure Fiction, building Acheron with Sigonia, the Unclaimed Desolation is excellent since it will grant her a crazy Crit DMG buff that keeps going for the entire fight.

Lastly, for E2 Acheron, Space Sealing Station and Firmament Frontline: Glamoth are good to consider. Her E2 grants her a good debuffing power the more she plays, which makes SPD an important stat to include when building her.

Best Acheron Light Cones In Honkai: Star Rail

Along the Passing Shore is Acheron’s best Light Cone in Honkai: Star Rail. That’s not a surprise, given it’s her own signature Light Cone. Along the Passing Shore grants Acheron Crit DMG and a lot of DMG when she hits debuffed enemies with her Ultimate. Not only that, but her signature Light Cone also has one of the highest Base ATK in Honkai: Star Rail.

The best 4-star Light Cone for Acheron is Good Night and Sleep Well since it grants her more DMG against debuffed enemies, which can reach a whopping 72% on S5. For F2P, Fermata is acceptable but doesn’t really function that well on Acheron. You can make the most of it by teaming Acheron with Lightning and Wind characters that can constantly apply debuffs, like Sampo and Kafka in Honkai: Star Rail.


There are some 5-star Light Cones that work wonderfully with Acheron, such as In the Name of the World and Patience Is All You Need. The first slightly increases Acheron’s damage against debuffed enemies, while the second 5-star Light Cone grants her the ability to debuff further. Other than that, though, Acheron has a limited option since Nihility weapons typically consist of Effect Hit Rate and DoT DMG Bonus, whereas she needs to be built on a traditional damage build.
