Thus, we offer for consideration a list of suitable squads and allies, as well as a rating relic, light cones based on key mechanics. In addition, we will consider skills, recommended stats and everything that Acheron needs for leveling.

Biography of Acheron in Honkai: Star Rail
Acheron of Honkai: Star Rail first appears in the storyline of the planet Penaconia as part of a quest "There's a knock on the door at the crack of dawn" and introduces himself as a traveling Galaxy Ranger, whose real name still remains a secret. When first meeting the Pathfinder, she says the following phrase: “Let me borrow this name. But you know my essence, you remember my deeds. So, I am Acheron».
Armed with a blade, the girl travels alone through endless outer space in order to discover traces left by the past and forge her own path. The mysterious stranger reveals virtually no information about herself. It is only known that thunderstorms often raged in the place where she came from. According to the only remaining memories, when she woke up, faint rumbles of thunder were still heard on the sea horizon, and the bloody downpour was almost over.

Basic skills
Acheron's abilities are aimed at dealing electrical damage to one or more targets. Despite belonging to the Path of Nothingness, the Galaxy Ranger is a classic main DD around whom the team is built. The key feature of the character is his superpower - it does not require energy recovery and is activated by receiving a special charge "A Severed Dream".
Exactly the main power of Acheron is concentrated in the ultimate, since with its help it causes enormous damage, annihilating all living things on the battlefield. The only "nuance" is the need for Path of Nothingness characters to accumulate additional points and trigger a trail that increases DPS. In addition to gaining points, she also simultaneously imposes status levels on enemies "Crimson Knot" — the more of them, the higher the damage from the ultimate.
Next, we’ll look in detail at how Acheron’s skills work and in what order they should be upgraded. In addition, we will consider traces (passive talents) and eidolons, highlighting among them those that should be given priority attention when opening additional copies of the character.
Active skills
Four Phase Ascension
Technique "Four-Phase Ascension" | Group Attack, Strengthening
Immediately attacks the enemy and at the beginning of each wave receives a Four-Phase Ascension, which deals electrical damage equal to 200% on the strength of the attack, and reduces their resistance, regardless of the types of vulnerability. When penetrated, it imposes the Shock status.
Four Phase Ascension: After using his super ability, Acheron gains 1 stack of Sundered Dream and applies 1 level of Crimson Knot status.
If the target of the technique is a normal enemy with “Red Karma”, he will be immediately destroyed without entering into battle. If the attack misses the enemy, vehicle points are not spent.
The vehicle attacks the enemy and at the beginning of each wave receives Four Phase Ascension — deals electrical damage that ignores vulnerability types and reduces the targets' durability. Also, at the beginning of the wave, 1 unit of "Cut Dream" charge is given and 1 level of "Crimson Knot" status is applied after using the super ability.
When an attack hits enemies marked with Red Karma (in Simulated Universe or open world), they die instantly, and the character does not enter into battle.
“Red Karma” is automatically applied to ordinary enemies, that is, it does not apply to elite monsters, bosses and piggy banks. Vehicle points are not spent if you miss the target.
Three-way wiltcross
Basic Attack "Three-Way Wiltcross" || Single Attack
Deals electrical damage to the enemy equal to 50-130% from attack power.
The basic attack deals minor damage to one enemy target. Does not provide any stacks or charges and is mainly needed to restore skill points. However, it is worth considering that Acheron is the main damage dealer; she wants to use a skill every turn, which is why the regular attack is practically not used.
Octo Thunder Flash
Octo Thunder Flash Skill || Explosive Attack
Gain 1 stack of Sundered Dream. Applies 1 stack of Crimson Knot to the target enemy, dealing Electric Damage equal to 80-200% on the attack power, and also attacks adjacent targets with electrical damage equal to 30-75% from attack power.
Acheron gains 1 point of Sundered Dream and places 1 stack of Crimson Knot on the enemy targeted by the skill. The enemy and nearby monsters take lightning damage. The skill is one of the main ways to independently gain points and stacks during combat.
Shattered sleep, scarlet tears
Superpower "Crossed Dream, Scarlet Tears" || Group attack
The cost of the ultimate is 9 units of "Cleaved Dream" charge.
Consecutively uses Rain Blade 3 times and Stygian Rebirth 1 time, dealing up to Shock Damage 223,2-372% from attack strength to one enemy and to 180-360% from the attack power to all enemies on the battlefield. Crimson Knots are not applied while using the Super ability.
"Rain Blade": Deals electrical damage equal to the target enemy 14,4-28,8% of attack power. Then 3 levels of Crimson Knot status are removed from him. After the stacks are removed, all targets are dealt electrical damage equal to 9-18% on the strength of the attack. For each stack reset, this attack's damage multiplier is further increased to max. 36-72%.
"Stygian Revival": Deals electrical damage to all enemies equal to 72-144% from the attack power, and removes all remaining stacks.
After using the super ability, he takes out his blade and makes 3 strikes that deal electric damage and remove 3 stacks of Crimson Knot. In addition, the damage increases depending on the number of levels removed - the more stacks on the enemy, the higher the DPS. After making 3 strikes, he performs Stygian Rebirth, dealing massive damage and removing the remaining Crimson Knots from all enemies.
Passive skills
Raindrops on crimson petals
Talent "Raindrops on Crimson Petals" || Gain
When Shattered Dream reaches 9 stacks, Acheron can activate his ultimate. Attacks made during the ultimate ignore all types of vulnerabilities, reducing enemy durability and all types of resistance by 10-25%.
Whenever a squad member applies a debuff to enemy targets, 1 stack of Sundered Dream and 1 stack of Crimson Knot are granted. This effect can only occur once per skill used. If the debuff is applied to multiple enemies, the target with the most stacks will receive Crimson Knot.
While Acheron is on the battlefield and after an enemy leaves the arena or dies, all of his levels are transferred similarly to the monster that has the most Crimson Nodes.
When the Sundered Dream points reach the maximum value (9), the ultimate ability can be used. During the action of the ultimate, the durability of enemies is reduced, regardless of their vulnerability types, and resistance to all elements is reduced.
Whenever any character on the team inflicts a debuff on enemies, 1 point of Sundered Dream and 1 stack of Crimson Knot are granted.
Crimson Knot is not a debuff, while enemy resistance reduction is a debuff that gives points/stacks and is taken into account when using the set "Discoverer of Dead Waters".
The order of leveling abilities
Superpower > Skill => Talent > Basic Attack
When upgrading Acheron's skills, it is first recommended to focus on superpower, since this is the character's main source of damage. In its turn, skill deals additional damage to several targets and allows you to gain points/stacks, so it is used quite often. Although the level talent only affects the percentage of reduction in enemy resistance, it is also a noticeable increase in DPS when using a superpower. Basic Attack It is pumped last, because it has small scales, damages only one target and does not give points/stacks.
Tracks
Attack power +4% (lvl.1) | |||
Red Oni: At the start of combat, gain 5 Sundered Dream stacks and apply 5 stacks of Crimson Knot to one random enemy. When Sundered Dream reaches max, each point above the limit grants 1 stack of Four-Phase Ascension, which can stack up to 3 times. | Crete. damage +5,3% (A2) | Attack Power +4% (A3) | Electrical damage +3,2 (A3) |
Abyss: If there are 1 or 2 Path of Nothingness characters in the team, the damage of Acheron's basic attack, skill and superpower is increased by 115% or 160% of the initial damage, respectively. | Attack Power +6% (A4) | Crete. damage +8% (A5) | Attack Power +6% (A5) |
Thunder Core: When Super Rain Blade hits enemy targets with Crimson Knot status, damage dealt is increased by 30%. This buff can stack up to 3 times and lasts for 3 turns. It also deals an additional 6 hits when Stygian Rebirth is triggered. Each hit deals Electric Damage equal to 25% of one target's Attack Power and is considered Super Damage. | Electrical damage +4,8 (A6) | Crete. damage +10,7% (level 75) | |
Attack power +8% (lvl.80) |
Buff from the trail "Abyss" is the common multiplier (1,15×-1,6×) that is multiplied by final damage value. For example, if the base damage of a superpower is 521%, then if there are 2 allies of the Path of Nothingness it increases to 833%. In order to get the maximum bonus from the trail "Thunder Core", before using a superpower on an enemy there must be from 7 stacks.
The overall increase in characteristics after leveling up all traces to the maximum level:
- Attack power - 28%.
- Crete. damage - 24%.
- Electrical damage - 8%.
Eidolons
All eidolons of Acheron:
number | Name | <font><font>Materials</font></font> |
1 | The silent sky whispers about calm | Increases crit. 18% chance when dealing damage to enemies who are under debuffs. |
2 | Silent thunder in a motionless storm | The number of Path of Nothingness characters required to obtain the maximum bonus from the Abyss trace has been reduced by 1. At the start of the turn, 1 stack of Sundered Dream is granted. In addition, 1 lvl of Crimson Knot status is inflicted on the enemy with the most stacks. |
3 | Cold bites in eternal peace | Superpower level increases by 2. Maximum level is 15. Basic attack level increases by 1. Maximum level is 10. |
4 | Hidden fire in the reflection of the soul | When enemies enter combat, they are given a weakness to Ultimate damage and increase their Ultimate damage taken by 8%. |
5 | Wandering Souls in Scattered Lands | Skill level increases by 2. Maximum level is 15. Talent level increases by 2. Maximum level is 15. |
6 | Apocalypse, liberator | Penetration of all types of damage resistance of Acheron's superpower increases by 20%. Damage dealt by basic attack and skill also counts as ultimate damage and reduces enemies' durability regardless of their vulnerability types. When penetrated, the Shock effect is triggered. |
Best Eidolons Acheron - E2, E4 и E6:
- E2 allows you to take one Path of Nothingness character into your team to receive the maximum bonus from the “Abyss” trail, which expands the list of units. In addition, the eidolon makes it possible to gain stacks and points at the beginning of the turn - this, in turn, makes speed a more sought-after stat.
- E4 useful both for Acheron herself and for allies by increasing the damage caused by superpowers. At the same time, the buff has no conditions for triggering and no time limits, that is, it exists stably throughout the entire battle.
- E6 enhances the superpower, increasing the penetration of resistance of all types (that is, regardless of the resistors of enemies, increased damage will pass through them). Also modifies basic attack and skill damage into ultimate damage. These skills ignore any type of weakness, receive bonuses from the fourth eidolon and other sources, such as planar decoration "Frozen Salsotto".
How to Play Acheron: Rotation
Gameplay for Acheron in Khankai: Star Rail comes down to rapid accumulation charge "Cut Dream" и status "Crimson Knot" on opponents during the battle (max. - 9). This is necessary for the constant use of the superpower, which is the key source of damage for the character. They are usually recruited in parallel, but can sometimes be distributed among several enemies.
In turn, to inflict increased DPS with the ult, it is important that there are as many stacks as possible on the target(s) - from 7 pieces (ideally 9) to unlock the maximum buff from the Thunder Core trace. These indicators can be obtained both with the help of Acheron itself and from external sources. Next, we will consider the options that allow you to gain points of Sundered Dream and stacks of Crimson Knot:
- Red Oni Trail: At the start of the fight, gain 5 points and stacks. When Sundered Dream reaches 9 charges, each additional point activates Four-Phase Ascension, which stacks up to 3 times.
- Technique: At the start of a wave, gain Four-Phase Ascension, granting 1 stack of Sundered Dream and inflicting 1 stack of Crimson Knot after using a Super Ability.
- Skill: Gain 1 charge and apply 1 status ailment to the target enemy.
- Debuffs: When one of the party members debuffs enemies, 1 stack of Sundered Dream and 1 stack of Crimson Knot are granted. This includes the effect of penetrating enemy vulnerability.
- Second Eidolon: At the start of the turn, grant 1 charge and apply 1 status debuff to the enemy with the most Crimson Nodes.
- Light cones: "Along the passing shore" (signal), "Continuous Rain", "Just have to wait", "Determination shines like pearls of sweat". Other Paths: "Galactic Market Trend" (Preservation).
Based on the gameplay mechanics noted above, let's highlight the main points in Acheron's rotation:
- Before the start of the battle, it is recommended to use the technique. Thanks to this, you can instantly defeat ordinary monsters or receive bonuses in the form of additional ones at the start. damage at the beginning of the wave and Four-Phase Ascension, which gives a point and stack after the ult.
- When Galactic Ranger is active, use the skill to deal damage to multiple targets and gain 1 additional stack of Crimson Knot and Sundered Dream.
- During the Path of Oblivion's allied characters' turns, use skills that inflict debuffs first. Try to use them on enemies who already have stacks.
- After Acheron gets 9 units of "Sundered Dream" charge, you can use the ultimate ability. Choose a large enemy with the most levels of "Crimson Knot" status (preferably 7 or more) as the target of your attack. After that, press the ultimate button two more times to perform additional attacks.
Recommendations for using superpowers:
- If there is only one small enemy with charges left on the battlefield, it is not recommended to use the ultimate right away. Finish off the target with any other attack so that all the Crimson Nodes are transferred to the next wave, and only then activate the ultimate.
- If the stacks are distributed among several enemies, try to destroy small mobs first (without superpower) in order to transfer all available stacks to one largest enemy, for example, a boss or an elite monster.
Which Path to go through in the Virtual Universe for Acheron
Erudition is the best choice when passing Simulated Universe for Acheron by increasing the damage from the superpower, which is the character’s key skill. The Galaxy Ranger greatly appreciates any buffs for the ultimate, which is why the blessings of this Path will allow you to close content as quickly and efficiently as possible.
To unlock Erudite you must complete the mode "Gold and Gears".
Alternative Paths:
- Nothingness - Applies the negative statuses Burning, Shock, Bleeding and 2 levels of Weathering to all enemies, which provides an additional stack of Crimson Knot and Sundered Dream. However, almost all bonuses are aimed at periodic damage, so it is advisable to have DoT characters in the squad.
- Hunting - Offers a passive speed boost. Among the blessings there are also buffs for critical damage, crit. chance and attack power, which will bring a lot of benefits to Acheron. While the Hunt does not apply any debuffs, it does compensate with speed, action progression, and other buffs.
Advantages and disadvantages of Acheron
Let's look at the strengths and weaknesses of the Galaxy Ranger.
Advantages | Disadvantages |
Universal damage dealer. With the right selection of squad members and optimal assembly, Acheron is capable of inflicting enormous damage on multiple opponents and single targets. She successfully copes with any situations occurring on the battlefield. | "Expensive" assembly. Being a classic representative of damage dealers, Acheron needs fairly high critical damage and crit. chance, along with the optimal balance of all characteristics, including attack power and speed. |
Penetrates any vulnerabilities with ult. Thanks to the mechanics of the talent, the ultimate ignores all types of vulnerabilities and also reduces the elemental resistance of enemies. After unlocking the last eidolon, the basic attack and skill similarly gain the ability to reduce durability. | Signature cone and/or E2 desirable. The heroine can deal a lot of damage without eidolons and with epic weapons, but the signature and E2 make the game more comfortable. For example, a cone increases crit. the indicator, damage dealt and damage from the ult, allows you to apply a debuff, and the second eidolon makes it possible to take only one character of the Path of Oblivion for max. buff and receive points/stacks at the beginning of the turn. |
Own damage bonuses. Despite the low base values in abilities, receives a huge number of percentage buffs from stacks of "Crimson Knot" on enemies, bonuses from traces of "Abyss" and "Thunder Core", an additional increase to critical and electrical damage, attack power. | A non-standard way to gain energy for an ult. The absence of the need to restore energy is a “plus” and a “minus” at the same time. If you have a regular energy scale, it can be filled with any attacks, receiving damage and buffs from allies, which does not work in the case of Acheron. |
Technology kills enemies without a fight. The Galaxy Ranger can immediately defeat simple monsters with the Red Karma mark without engaging them in combat. This is useful not only in the open world, but also during clearing Simulated Universe . In addition, if you do not hit the enemy with a vehicle, you will not waste a vehicle point. | DPS depends on the team. The Abyss Trail provides a significant increase in damage for the basic attack, skill and superpower, however, to activate this buff, at least one Path of Oblivion character must be present in the squad. If you need the maximum bonus, two allies until E2 opens. |
Does not require energy recovery. Acheron has a unique superpower that requires not the usual energy, but a special charge "Cut Dream". Thanks to this, you can equip a connecting rope for attack power, thereby further increasing damage and without thinking about the amount of energy. |

Acheron in HSR is a damage dealer with an electric damage type and a unique mechanic of the ultimate, which deals multiple damage to the area and single targets. This ability is activated when there is a charge of "Cleaved Dream" and does not require energy recovery. However, the standard DPS characteristics remain a priority, as for any other main DD:
- Focus should be on attack power, from which all the character’s skills scale. The trails already contain a lot of damage bonuses, so the attack will balance the stats.
- No less significant: Crete. damage and crit. chance as an additional source of DPS increase and speed to get points/stacks from a skill, deal additional damage due to more frequent moves.
Note on speed. The character is able to gain points to activate the ult, even if he walks slowly, but only if his allies actively apply debuffs to enemies. Or, on the contrary, you can focus on speed and not rely on your partners. Here is a comparison of the two assemblies.

Ultimate Light Cone [Weapon]
When choosing weapons for Acheron, you should give preference to light cones related to the Path of Nothingness and offering bonuses to damage, attack power, crits or speed.
Name | Description | Recommendation |
---|---|---|
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 48-1058 ATK 28-635 DEF 18-369 | Increases critical damage by 36-60%. When the owner attacks an enemy target, inflicts the Mirage status on it for 1 turn. The effect can only be activated once per hit. The owner applies to 24-40% more damage to enemies with Mirage, and superpower damage is additionally increased by 24-40%. | Acheron's signature cone is an ideal option that offers her everything she needs:
|
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 48-1058 ATK 26-582 DEF 21-463 | Increases the chance of hitting effects on 24-40%. When the wearer deals damage to an enemy whose number of Debuffs is greater than or equal to 3, their Crit. chance increases by 12-20%. After using a basic attack, skill, or superpower, there is a 100% chance to apply an Ethereal Code status to the target. Damage taken by an enemy under this status is increased by 12-20% for 1 turn. | Although the hit chance of the effects is not necessary, the cone provides its bearer with crit. chance if the enemy has 3 or more debuffs. This is quite achievable in a team with debuffers of the Path of Nothingness, especially since there should be at least 0 such allies on E2. In addition, the weapon itself allows you to apply the Ethereal Code debuff, which increases the damage taken by the enemy target. In a squad with Silver Wolf (assuming there is no signal or "Good Night and Peaceful Sleep" S5), "The Incessant Rain" is better given to Acheron, and to the Wolf - "Before the training mission begins" or “Determination shines like pearls of sweat.” |
⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK 21-476 DEF 15-330 | Damage dealt is increased by 12-24% for each Debuff that the target enemy has. The bonus stacks up to 3 times and applies to periodic damage. | When applied to maximum, grants the wearer a high increase in damage dealt for each debuff on the target. Considering that Acheron’s squad, as a rule, contains 2 representatives of the Path of Nothingness, she will be able to consistently activate the entire bonus. The only drawback is the lack of a debuff, but this can be compensated for by allies. |
⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK 21-476 DEF 15-330 | The owner's critical chance is passively increased by 8-16%. Critical damage increases by 24-48%, if the owner attacks enemies with reduced defense or Slow status. | At the fifth level of application, the weapon is almost comparable to the pumped-up “Good Night and Peaceful Sleep” cone, and in some squads it may even be stronger than it if the conditions for increasing crit are met. damage and select heroes like Welt into the squad, and so on. "Boundless Dance" allows you to simplify the search for crit due to the bonus. chance among the relics. |
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 48-1058 ATK 26-582 DEF 21-463 | Increases damage dealt to debuffed enemies by 24-40%. When the wielder uses a skill, the chance to hit the effects of that attack is increased by 18-30%, and the attack power is 24-40%. | The light cone from the standard banner increases all damage against enemies who have debuffs applied, which implies an infinite effect of the boost due to the specifics of the Acheron squad. Another “plus” is that when using a skill, the attack power of this ability increases. Recommended only if you don't have Good Night and Peaceful Sleep S5 or For Peace have S2+. |
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 48-1058 ATK 26-582 DEF 21-463 | Damage dealt is increased by 24-40%. Each attack increases your speed by 4,8-8%. The effect can stack up to 3 times. When the wearer hits an enemy without the Gossamer status, has a base 100% chance to inflict this status on the target. An opponent with the Gossamer status is also considered to have the Shock status. An opponent with the Web status takes periodic electrical damage equal to 60-100% from the attack power of the owner, at the beginning of each turn for 1 turn. | A powerful weapon with a buff for all damage and increased speed for every attack made. An additional advantage is the Web status, which is considered a weakening and allows you to receive additional points and stacks for your superpower. If this cone is equipped on Kafka, which is actively used in completing the content, you should not move the “card” to Acheron. Especially in the presence of equally worthy weapons such as “Good night and peaceful sleep” or “In the name of peace.” |
⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK 21-476 DEF 15-330 | When the owner hits an enemy that does not have the Trapping status, he has a base chance 60-100% impose the status of Capture on this opponent. The defense of the enemy with the status of Trapping is reduced by 12-16% for 1 turn. | Another cone of light that applies a debuff to enemies. In this case, the Catching weakening is applied, which reduces enemy defense for 1 turn. It can be used at first, but later it is better to put it on supports, since Acheron is desirable to pump up DPS stats to the maximum. For example, if the team has sang or Silver Wolf, you can give the card to them. |
⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK 21-476 DEF 15-330 | The wearer's penetration effect is increased by 16-32%. The wearer's damage dealt to Shock and Weathered enemies is increased by 16-32%. This effect also applies to damage over time. | Free weapons, which, like Determination Glistens Like Pearls of Sweat, are good for the early stages of the game until you can unlock more suitable weapons. Potentially, Acheron can take advantage of the damage bonus itself, since it imposes the Shock status after breaking through. There is a more convenient option - to put in a squad Sampo, which gives both debuffs and the Weathering status. |
⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 38-846 ATK 24-529 DEF 15-330 | After the owner uses a basic attack or skill, he deals 48-96% from attack power as additional damage to a random enemy hit by attacks. | Weapons obtained by purchasing the paid version of Honor of the Nameless (battle pass). Does not have any damage bonuses that would be useful to the Galaxy Ranger, but allows you to deal additional damage to a random enemy target on the battlefield after using a basic attack or skill. Not a bad option if you have awakenings. |
⭐⭐⭐ HP 38-846 ATK 14-317 DEF 12-264 | Increases the damage the wearer inflicts on enemies with the Slow status by 24-48%. | The cone drops from any banners, so it can be obtained and equipped at the very start. Offers a damage boost provided the enemy is under slows. To implement a passive effect, they stand well in the squad Welt и Silver Wolf, which are capable of applying debuffs that reduce the speed of opponents. |
Best Relics [artifacts]
Acheron artifacts should provide the character with an increase in damage dealt, attack power, crits and elemental damage.
Cave Relics [Main Artifacts]
Name | Effects | Recommendation |
---|---|---|
2 parts: Increases damage dealt to enemies with Debuffs by 12%. 4 parts: Increases crit. 4% chance. Crete. The owner's damage dealt to enemies with at least 2/3 debuffs increases by 8%/12% respectively. After the owner applies a Debuff to an enemy, the above effects are increased by 100% for 1 turn. | The best set of relics. The reason is the increase in total and crit damage for the existing debuffs on the target, as well as a stable bonus to crit chance. The set offers a wide range of buffs and works especially well with Signature Cone and other Path of Nothingness characters, who are constant allies of the Galactic Ranger. Acheron applies a debuff even without a sign when using his super and reduces enemy elemental resistance. | |
2 parts: Increases critical chance. 8%. 4 parts: Increases skill and super ability damage by 20%. After using a super ability, the damage of the next skill increases by 25%. | An alternative set with an increase to critical chance, increased skill damage and superpowers. Considering that Acheron mainly uses these skills, she will be able to realize the passive bonus and, as a result, get useful enhancements. The relic's effectiveness only starts to "sag" in a low-speed build, since in this case the skill is used less often. | |
2 parts: Increases electrical damage by 10%. 4 parts: When the owner uses a skill, their attack power increases by 20% for 1 turn. | Another great option that's about 6-7% worse than Deadwater Discoverer. Provides an increase in electrical damage, and most importantly, in attack power. The heroine does not have her own attack bonuses, which is why the characteristic becomes quite in demand. Please note that the buff lasts only 1 turn, so it is advisable to use the ult the next turn after the skill. | |
2 parts: Increases speed by 6%. + 2 parts: Increases damage dealt to enemies with Debuffs by 12%. 2 parts: Increases attack power by 12%. 2 parts: Increases electrical damage by 10%. | Options for combinations with the “Messenger Wandering in Hacker Space” set, which increases speed by percentage. Useful in situations where there is not enough speed to comfortably clear waves of enemies or activate the passive of a planar decoration "Glatiramer Skyfront". | |
2 parts: Increases attack power 12%. 4 parts: Increases speed by 6% and basic attack damage by 10%. | A universal set available almost from the start of the game. A good option for relics for beginners with increased attack power and speed for the character. Subsequently suitable as 2 parts for creating combinations with other suitable sets. | |
2 parts: Increases damage dealt to enemies with Debuffs by 12%. 2 parts: Increases attack power by 12%. | Optimal 2x2 combination with Acheron's preferred stats. It is slightly inferior to combinations with speed, thanks to which it can also be used effectively until you can farm the full “Discoverer of Dead Waters” set. | |
2 parts: Increases attack power by 12%. 2 parts: Increases attack power by 12%. | Attack power kits collectively add 24% to the stats. A good choice if you can't find the necessary base/main stats in combination with Pathfinder of the Dead, or if Acheron with a second Eidolon plays in a squad with ruan mei. | |
2 parts: Increases quantum damage by 10%. 4 parts: When dealing damage, the wearer ignores 10% of the enemy's defense. If the selected enemy has a quantum vulnerability, the owner ignores the extra. 10% protection. | Situational, but strong set with the appropriate equipment. In order to get maximum benefit from its use, it is recommended:
|
Planar Ornaments [Additional Artifacts]
Name | Effects | Recommendation |
---|---|---|
2 parts: Increases attack power by 12%. Crete. the owner's chance increases by 12% if there is a character in the squad who follows the same Ways. | One of the best planar decorations for Acheron due to increased attack power and crit. chance. The second bonus is given only if there is one more character Paths of Nothingness, which is also the main requirement for her track "The Abyss" to work. When assembled correctly, the Galaxy Ranger always has a representative of his class in his team, and therefore receives all passive effect buffs. | |
2 parts: Increases attack power by 12%. When speed reaches 120 or higher, attack power is increased by an additional 12%. | An easy-to-use planar decoration that only requires 120 units. speed, that is, equip speed boots. Due to its availability for farming among the first worlds of the Virtual Universe, before receiving the “World of Izumo and Kingdom of Takama” set, this kit is suitable, which will increase attack power by 24%. | |
2 parts: Increases crit. 8% chance. If critical If the owner's chance is greater than or equal to 50%, the damage of his superpower and bonus attack increases by 15%. | An additional option that can be equipped if the additional attack power boost is not needed (though the actual difference between the sets is negligible in any case). The reason for the relevance of the decoration is that superpower is the main “trump card” of the character. | |
2 parts: Increases the wearer's attack power by 12%. If the owner's speed is higher than or equal to 135/160 units, then the damage they deal increases by 12%/18%. | Glatiramer gives attack power and increases all damage dealt, which is useful for the heroine. However, she doesn't always collect enough speed to fully realize the bonus. However, if at least the minimum requirement is met or there are additional sources of speed increase in the squad, you can effectively use this set. If there are 160 units. speed and obtaining max. The increase from the passive effect makes this decoration better than Frozen Salsotto. | |
2 parts: Increases crit. 8% chance. If critical chance is 70% (or higher), basic attack and skill damage increases by 20%. | The base attack and skill only make up a small portion of a character's damage output, making the set inferior to its Frozen Salsotto counterpart. In addition, the Galaxy Ranger already has a lot of bonus DPS, which is why attack power sets are initially more preferable. | |
2 parts: Increases crit. 4% chance. Defeating enemies increases crit. damage to the owner by 4%. The effect can stack up to 10 times per battle. | Not a bad option when it comes to content like Pure fiction, where Acheron will easily get up to 10 kills (especially with vehicles). Thus, he will get a 40% increase in critical damage quite quickly. The set in question does not always pay for itself in standard combat conditions, so it is used mainly to maximize damage in the corresponding mode. |
Units for Acheron
In HSR, Acheron is a representative of the Path of Nothingness, who acts as the main DD/hypercarry. The mechanics of the character are built in such a way that they "force" to form a group around her, otherwise too much potential DPS is lost.
In addition, the composition may vary depending on the eidolons. For example, an E0 unit needs 2 Path of Nothingness allies to receive the maximum bonus from the Abyss trail. At E2 the situation becomes simpler - just put 1 character of this class and add the Path of Harmony to increase the damage done.
For experienced E0 players, there is also the option to use a team building strategy without healers or shielders: 2 allies of the Path of Nothingness and 1 ally of the Path of Harmony. Then the damage can really be comparable to E2, but this style of play is not for everyone.

The table shows heroes who interact well with Acheron:
Character | Damage Path and Type | Features |
---|---|---|
The best Nothingness under Acheron. A powerful unit whose skills are aimed at imposing the following debuffs:

One of the best allies. Is a Path of Nothingness character (activates the Abyss trace) and has various weakenings that give points of Sundered Dream and apply stacks of Crimson Knot:
| ||
Budget epic version of the Path of Oblivion debuffer. Grants the following debuffs:

| ||
An epic character, capable of joining the Galaxy Ranger with both Black Swan, Kafka, and other debuffers of the Path of Oblivion. Suggested nerfs:
| ||
Another representative of the Path of Nothingness with periodic damage and additional negative statuses:
| ||
Alternative to Guinaifen and Luka. Although it specializes more in enhancing DoT damage, it also imposes debuffs:
| ||
A good ally for Acheron E2. Provides pleasant boosts:
| ||
Potentially Armor gives Acheron more damage than Sparkle. However, in a group with her, rotation becomes more difficult due to the constant consumption of skill points. The situation becomes better with the presence of the 1st eidolon and signa. Suggested buffs:
| ||
Plays effectively with Acheron thanks to powerful and versatile buffs (especially with E1):
| ||

Free representative of the buffer class. Offers bonuses useful for the Galaxy Ranger:

Like Sparkle, it makes rotation more comfortable by restoring skill points from the “Burden” status. Additionally provides the following buffs:

An excellent support character for almost any squad:
| ||
Hero of the Path of Conservation with the unusual mechanics of the Matrix of Foresight, which transfers part of the damage received by the squad to Fu Xuan. Additionally:
| ||
A character from a standard banner. Less convenient than Aventurine, since it only adds armor with its superpower, but due to its relative accessibility it is a good defender against incoming damage. Can apply debuffs:
| ||
The main character of the fire element type is inferior to the legendary representatives of the Path of Conservation, but will become the optimal choice in the initial stages of the game:
| ||
A free character obtained at the beginning of the game during the prologue. Like the Pioneer, it is good for beginners. Offers the following:
| ||
The best candidate for the role of healer in the Acheron team. In addition to healing, it provides debuffs that help the Galaxy Ranger gain points and stacks:

Top Teams
Next, we will tell you what teams can be made for Acheron from the characters listed above.
Units for Acheron E0
Compositions aimed at unlocking the character's potential without eidolons. The specifics of the “Abyss” trail are taken into account, which requires the presence of 2 allies of the Path of Nothingness to obtain the maximum increase in damage.
Character 1 | Character 2 | Character 3 | Character 4 | Features |
---|---|---|---|---|
The most optimal, but "expensive" composition, including legendary characters:
| ||||
A budget build where Acheron quickly gains Sundered Dream points to activate his superpower.
| ||||
An alternative to the previous command:
| ||||
An option with DoT heroes in the person of Black Swan and Kafka, who combine perfectly with each other and at the same time help Acheron. In this case, she practically does not need to use the skill, since her allies continuously apply weakening:
| ||||
A difficult build to implement, capable of demonstrating huge damage figures, but having the disadvantage of low survivability.
|
It's only combination examples. Depending on the available characters on your account, you can place any combination of heroes of the Path of Nothingness with Acheron, and then supplement the squad with a healer/shieldman or a buffer, if there are no problems with survivability.
Units for Acheron E2
Considering the guide to Acheron in HSR in a more detailed manner, one cannot help but focus on compositions designed to play with a second eidolon. E2 “softens” the requirement for a trail and allows you to supplement the assembly with heroes of the Path of Harmony for an even greater increase in DPS. Squads are also suitable for those who do not want to fully implement the trail buff.
Character 1 | Character 2 | Character 3 | Character 4 | Features |
---|---|---|---|---|
Budget squad with epic and free characters:
| ||||
Another option for a semi-free team with DoT characters:
| ||||
A group in which Acheron E2 is revealed to the maximum due to the presence of some of the strongest representatives of its class:
| ||||
Ruan Mei and Zaryanka are other top-tier representatives of the Path of Harmony. They are ideal in squads consisting of several damage dealers, as their buffs are distributed to all allies. Since all heroes of the Void are capable of damaging, any character on the account will do, for example, Jiaoqiu or Guinaifen/Sampo. The last position is optimally occupied by Lingsha or Hoho. | ||||
Build including free and standard legendary heroes:

Is it worth knocking out Acheron in Honkai: Star Rail?
Acheron in HSR is a strong damage dealer with a unique superpower mechanic that does not consume energy. Instead, you need to accumulate special units of the "Cleaved Dream" charge during the fight to the maximum value. Despite the fact that the Galactic Ranger belongs to the debuff class, she is a classic main DD, and her DPS in some places surpasses the Hunt or Destruction characters.
At the same time, it is somewhat team dependent, as it requires Path of Nothingness allies and debuffs on opponents to maximize damage. All this is complemented by a complex build due to the need for high critical stats, attack power and sometimes speed. However, these “minuses” are fully compensated by the impact that the heroine brings to the battle. In addition, its gameplay is quite simple and does not require strict rotation.
To sum it up, Acheron is worth picking for those who are looking for a powerful damage dealer who can handle even the most difficult content. And although she wields the electric element, her ultimate ignores any type of vulnerability, which expands the scope of application. If we talk about whether Acheron is suitable for F2P players, we can say that even without additional investments, the Galactic Ranger shows good results, but the presence of a signal or eidolons will make the game much more comfortable.
What is better for Acheron: Signa or E2
To decide between getting a signature weapon "Along the receding shore" or a second eidolon for Acheron, let's look at both options:
- Signa offers a high increase in critical damage, allows you to apply a debuff and increases the damage of the super ability. All this significantly increases the heroine's own DPS and facilitates the balance of critical indicators. However, in the absence of E2, it forces you to play in specific builds, where there are at least two characters of Nothingness, or to look for workarounds that require a greater contribution to Harmony supports or experience in gameplay without healers / shielders.
- E2 is a fairly expensive investment, but it expands the available teams, allowing them to be supplemented with representatives of other Paths. At the same time, the Abyss trace will continue to provide the maximum buff. Eidolon gives the opportunity to test the Galactic Ranger in more diverse compositions and effectively implement it even without a shortage of Nothingness. Especially if there are excellent alternative cones: "Incessant Rain" or "Good Night and Peaceful Sleep" S5.
So if star jade not very much/try to save currency, and there are at least two fully pumped heroes of the Path of Non-Existence on the account, it is optimal to give preference to signature weapons. Provided that there is enough jade, you are ready to spend a lot and want to play in more compositions/there are no pumped debuffers, it is recommended to pay attention to the second eidolon.
