Features

Along with the leveling and elevation of Zele, the base indicators of HP, defense and attack power increase. Speed ​​and taunt are permanent stats. The exact values ​​of the stats are presented in the table:

Basic skills

Zele's abilities are aimed at causing quantum damage single target. She also has the unique Stealth effect, which makes her invisible and can attack from an ambush, having previously applied a buff to herself.

Its key feature is its dynamic combat style. Thanks to speed buffs and additional actions, the heroine easily resists almost any opponents. Next, we will analyze in more detail how Zele's skills work and in what order it is better to pump them.

Active skills

• Emboldening Salvo "Blade in Sheath"| Single attack

• Superpower "Whirlwind of butterflies" | Single attack

Energy costs: 120 units.

Passive skills

Talent "Reappearance" | Gain

The order of leveling abilities

It is recommended to upgrade skills in the following order:

• The level of skill, superpower and talent increases evenly to the maximum value. If there are not enough resources, stick to the order shown.
• The basic attack is not used very often, but may be required in some situations. Therefore, it also needs to be elevated, although last.

Tracks

In addition to the main skills, the characters also have a tree for pumping additional talents and characteristics. Seele traces:

Apart from the considered passive skills, you can increase attack power by 4% and 6%, defense by 5%.

Total amount of increase to stats:

Eidolons [Constellations]

All Zele eidolons:

Zele's best eidolons – E2, E4 и E6:

• Feature second eidolon: After using the skill, increases speed by a total of 50%, which is why the base stat will be approximately 173. Considering the character's initially high speed stat without the bonuses from relics and light cone, this is a very strong buff.
• Feature fourth eidolon: Gives a good bonus in the form of energy recovery. Since Zele takes an extra turn after killing an enemy and gains +15 energy from the eidolon bonus, he will be able to activate his super much more often.
• Feature sixth eidolon: Allows you to deal even more damage after using your ultimate on an enemy. Combined with high speed and an energy buff, the character becomes almost invincible, leaving no enemies even a chance to make a move.

Best Zele builds in Honkai: Star Rail

Zele in HSR is the main damage dealer who focuses on dealing high one-time damage and quickly killing opponents in several actions. Thanks to her talent, she is strong not only in solo targeting, but also in scenarios where it is necessary to defeat several small or medium-sized monsters. However, like any damage dealer, she needs to choose the right stats and equipment.

The Zele assembly requires the following characteristics:

• Crete. damage/crit chance hits и Attack Power – these are key indicators that affect the character’s DPS. Therefore, when pumping, you should focus on them.
• Despite the high own speed, external sources of amplification will not be superfluous. But it is best to select speed in lower stats, giving preference to attack power in boots. An exception may be equipping the “In the Night” signature cone.

In the following sections we will take a closer look at how to collect Zele in Honkai: Star Rail.

Recommended characteristic values

Main stats to look for in relics:

Additional characteristics give priority to:

• critical chance hits and crit. damage;
• attack power;
• speed.

The optimal final values ​​of stats that it is desirable to have on a character:

• ATK: from 2-500 units.
• Speed: 121-134 units.
• Energy recovery: 100-120%.
• HP: from 3000.
• Protection: 900-1000.
• Critical Chance: 60-70%
• Crete. damage: 180-200%.

Considering that critical damage increases when leveling up tracks, it is advisable to place more emphasis on crit chance. hits (at least until you get to at least 70%).

Ultimate Light Cone [Weapon]

Weapons for Zele must be selected based on the role she occupies in the squad. Because she sticks hunting paths, you need to equip weapons of the same class. This is due to the fact that characters can only fully use the cones that correspond to their Path - otherwise, their passive effect will not be activated.

Among the recommended features, we highlight:

• Crit chance. hits.
• Crete. damage.
• Attack Power.

As additional amplifications, effects that increase the damage of a skill and superpowers are useful. The table details the cones that are best suited to Zele.

Name	Description	Recommendation
In the night ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP: 48-1058 ATK 26-582 DEF 21-463	Increases crit chance. hitting 18-30%. If the speed is above 100, for each additional 10 units. speed damage of basic attack and skill is increased by 6-10%. Crit also increases. superpower damage 12-20%. The effect can stack up to 6 times.	Zele's signature weapon, which provides her with everything she needs: gives attack power, an increase in critical chance, increases the damage of a skill, superpower and basic attack. Among the cones is the best option for dealing high damage. In addition, the main condition of the passive effect is always met, since Zele's base speed at level 1 is 115 units.
Baptism of pure thought ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK 26-582 DEF 24-529	Crete. The owner's damage increases by 20-32%. For each existing weakening the enemy has a crit. The damage the owner inflicts on this target increases by additional. 8-12%. This effect can stack up to 3 times. Using a superpower to attack a target inflicts the "Discussion" status on the owner, which increases damage dealt by 36-60% and allows the bonus attack to be ignored 24-40% enemy defense. This effect lasts for 2 turns.	A cone of light that gives a guaranteed increase in crit. damage, and also increases the outgoing damage from any skills after using a superpower for an attack. To fully implement the bonus, which offers an additional increase in crits in battle, the squad needs characters who can apply up to 3 debuffs at a time (ideally). However, this option is not necessary if you do not have problems with the balance of important attacking characteristics.
dead dream ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP: 48-1058 ATK 26-582 DEF 21-463	Increases crit. owner's damage 30-50%. When the owner's basic attack or skill does not inflict a crit. damage, crit. chance increases by 36-60% for 1 turn. This effect can only be activated once every 1 turns.	An excellent balanced weapon with a huge increase in critical damage. Provided that the skill or attack does not crit, additionally increases the crit chance. hits. With this cone, it makes sense to focus more on crits, leaving the crit chance in the range of 50-60% to periodically trigger the buff.
Cruise through the galaxy ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK 24-529 DEF 21-463	Increases crit chance by 8-16% and more on 8-16% against enemies with HP less than or equal to 50%. After defeating an enemy, attack power is increased by 20-40% for 2 moves.	Free Legendary Cone when purchased at shop in Hertha. Increases critical chance. hits up to 16-32% in total, increases attack power and has high basic indicators. The only small drawback is the requirement to defeat the enemy. Since Zele is most often used against single targets, the attack buff will not always be activated. On S5, Dead Sleep wins by about 2%.
Fencing ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK 21-476 DEF 15-330	When the wearer attacks the same enemy multiple times, the damage dealt is increased by 8-16%. If the target of the attack changes, the buff will disappear. The effect stacks up to 5 times.	Quite a strong cone for fighting bosses or "fat" mobs due to the gradual increase in damage dealt with each hit. However, it is worth considering that the stats will be more difficult to balance, since it does not give crits.
Remains only in silence ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK 21-476 DEF 15-330	Increases attack power by 16-32%. Also increases crit chance. hitting 12-24%, if there are 2 or fewer enemies on the battlefield.	Unlike the previous one, this cone is designed to fight against a small number of targets. At the same time, the bonus to crit chance does not work in a situation where there is a battle against a group of three or more enemies. Due to his Path, Zele rarely encounters this, but it is important to consider this before the fight, since KS is quite an important stat.
Back into darkness ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP: 38-846 ATK 24-529 DEF 15-330	Increases crit chance by 12-24%. After crit. hits exist fixed 16-32% chance to remove one buff from the enemy. The effect can only be activated once per attack.	Pretty high base attack and a bonus to crit chance. It is located approximately on the same level as the "Only Silence Remains" cone. While it doesn't increase attack power, it makes up for it by the lack of conditions for activating the passive and the chance to remove one buff from the enemy when hitting.
The only winner ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK 21-476 DEF 15-330	The wearer's attack power is increased by 12-20%. When the owner makes a crit. hitting an enemy, he receives 1 level of Luck status, which can stack up to 4 times. Each status level the owner has increases his crit. damage by 8-12%. The Luck status is removed at the end of the owner's turn.	A good epic option that fully reveals itself in specific conditions. The increase in critical damage occurs at the moment of critical. hits, can stack up to 4 times and is removed at the end of the turn. During the skill, Zele performs 4 hits and can get a maximum of stacks for the final hit. It’s also worth noting that any buffs received carry over to additional talent actions, which does not count as the end of the turn. For example, a rotation of 4 actions through kills with a skill and an ultimate will be counted as one action. Accordingly, the crit increase will be in effect throughout the entire rotation. damage.
Spring river flows ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 38-846 ATK 21-476 DEF 18-396	At the start of combat, increases speed by 8-12% and damage to 12-24%. When the owner takes damage, this effect disappears. The effect will appear at the end of the next turn.	A weapon that, at the start of the battle, virtually guarantees that Zele will go first, since she initially has a high base speed. It also gives a nice bonus in the form of increased DPS. However, the effect disappears after receiving damage, so there must be a shield member in the squad.
More subscriptions! ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK 21-476 DEF 15-330	Increases basic attack and skill damage by 24-48%. This effect will increase by additional 24-48%when the wearer's current energy reaches its maximum level.	Increases the chance to activate the talent by increasing the damage dealt by the attack and the skill. Moreover, when the energy scale is filled to the maximum, an additional bonus is given. To use it, it is advisable to press the ult only after the skill or basic attack, even if it is charged.
Arrow released ⭐⭐⭐ HP 33-740 ATK 16-370 DEF 12-264	After defeating an enemy, increases attack power by 24-48% for 3 moves.	Despite 3☆ rarity provides a huge increase in attack power on the last awakening. If it comes out to achieve a good balance of crits in relics, it can outperform many epic cones in damage.
Arrows ⭐⭐⭐ HP 38-846 ATK 14-317 DEF 12-264	At the beginning of the battle increases the chance of crit. hitting 12-24% for 3 moves.	On the last awakening, it increases the critical chance to 24%, which allows you to focus on critical damage. Low base attack can be compensated by strengthening the heroes of the Path of Harmony. The main disadvantage is that the buff is given only for 3 turns after the start of the battle.

Best Relics [artifacts]

When choosing relics for Zele, you need to pay attention to both cave relicsAnd planar decorations, since both types of equipment have a significant impact on the character's damage. Sets must provide an increase in the following characteristics:

• Quantum damage.
• Crit chance hits or crit. damage.
• Attack Power.
• Speed ​​/ Energy recovery.

It is recommended to place the main emphasis on elemental damage (quantum), attack power и crit chance. hits.

Cave relics [main artifacts]

Name	Effects	Recommendation
The Genius of the Diamond Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	2 parts: Increases quantum damage by 10%. 4 parts: When the owner deals damage to the selected enemy, ignores 10% defense. If the target enemy has a Quantum Weakness, the wearer ignores an additional 10% Defense.	The best set of relics for Zele due to the bonus to quantum damage. At the same time, there are a lot of opponents in the game with a weakness to this element, so the 4-piece bonus is also useful in most cases.
The Genius of the Diamond Stars Musketeer of Wild Wheat / Discoverer of dead waters	2 parts: Increases quantum damage by 10%. 2 parts: Increases attack power by 12%. 2 parts: Increases damage dealt to enemies with Debuffs by 12%.	If you can’t collect the full set of the Genius of Diamond Stars, it would be best to combine it with one of the following sets for attack power or increased damage.
Discoverer of dead waters ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	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.	Alternative equipment that increases the damage dealt and gives good increases to critical parameters. It is worth considering that Zele will not be able to independently activate the set’s passive and receive a double crit bonus. chance and damage. For this reason, equipment is considered situational and necessarily requires the presence of several debuffers in the team.
Musketeer of Wild Wheat ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	2 parts: Increases attack power by 12%. 4 parts: Increases the wearer's speed by 6% and their basic attack damage by 10%.	A universal set that will suit any DD. Can be used in the early and mid game or combined with the first set for an additional attack bonus.
The Genius of the Diamond Stars Herald wandering in hacker space	2 parts: Increases quantum damage by 10%. 2 parts: Increases speed by 6%.	An alternative option with 2 parts of the speed set. Can be used if the characteristic does not appear in the stats of relics and/or it is not possible to achieve the optimal value of this parameter.
Thief of Shooting Meteor ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	2 parts: Penetration Special Effect +16%. 4 parts: Penetration Special Effect +16%. Recovers 3 energy after breaking through a vulnerable target.	Although the set does not directly increase damage, it allows you to deal additional quantum damage and restores energy after penetration. If you have good stats, you can use it as a temporary replacement.

Planar Ornaments [Additional Artifacts]

Name	Effects	Recommendation
Star Arena ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	2 parts: Critical Hit Chance +8%. If crit. chance greater than or equal to 70%, to the damage of basic attack and skill + 20%.	The decoration gives important buffs for the character: critical chance, increase in skill damage and basic attack. Given that Seele can perform multiple actions per turn, this is a massive DPS boost. The only condition is the chance of crit. hits must be at least 70%. However, this is the optimal indicator, which in any case must be strived for, especially since the set itself increases the KSh.
Inert Salsotto ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	2 parts: Critical hit chance +8%. When Crit Chance reaches 50% or more, Super Damage and Bonus Attack +15%.	An analogy to the previous set with an emphasis on increasing the damage from the ultimate. Since the requirement for crit. the chance is lower (50%), it becomes easier to activate the second part of the passive, however, Zele does not have a bonus attack, which is why she is not able to get all the available buffs.
Space Sealing Station ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	2 parts: Attack power +12%. When the speed reaches 120 units and above, in addition to the attack power + 12%.	Most often, Seele's speed is over 120, so she will gain 24% attack power, not counting the primary and secondary stats of other relics. The set will boost all of her damage as ATK scales her skills. It will be especially useful if you can’t get 2 attacks.
Skyfront Glatiramer ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	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%.	An enhanced version of previous decorations. It requires an order of magnitude more speed, so it is recommended for teams with buffers of this characteristic, be it Chania or Asta. Zele will be able to use the set independently with E2 and the signature weapon “In the Night,” which will compensate for the loss of damage from the build with a focus on speed.
Celestial Differentiator ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	2 parts: Increases crit. damage by 16%. When the current crit. damage reaches 120% and above, at the beginning of the battle, the crit chance is increased by 60% until the end of the first attack.	A set that provides an increase in critical damage. Although the bonus for crit. the chance from the second part of the passive effect is given only for the first attack, with a severe lack of crit. damage, you can give preference to this set.
Sprightly Vonwacq ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	2 parts: Energy recovery rate +5%. When the speed reaches 120 units and above, the action advances +40% immediately after entering combat.	A good choice if you don’t have previous planar decorations or if you don’t have enough energy to constantly activate your ult.

Detachments for Seele

The team for Zele needs to be built around her, selecting the appropriate support heroes:

• Path of Harmony to apply buffs.
• Path of Nothingness to weaken opponents.
• Paths of Abundance и Conservation for healing or shield.

In some situations, characters of Erudite or Destruction may be required, for example, if there is a battle against a cluster of enemies with high health.

Best characters

Character	Path	Damage type	Features
Armor	Harmony	Wind	The best choice among supports, as her buffs are in perfect harmony with Zele's needs: grants an additional turn, removes debuffs, increases attack power, defense and crit. damage.
Zaryanka	Harmony	Physical	A representative of Harmony of the highest tier, whose skills are aimed at increasing outgoing damage, crit. damage and attack power. When using a superpower, advances all allies' turns forward by 100%.
ruan mei	Harmony	Ice	A support that offers buffs to damage dealt, speed, penetration efficiency and resistance penetration of all elemental types. It will help Zela not only deal more damage, but also destroy enemy shields much faster.
Imaginary. hero	Harmony	Imaginary	F2P buffer for the Path of Harmony, available after completing the Penaconia story campaign. The character's mechanics are aimed at increasing damage to enemies in a state of broken vulnerability through the "Backup Dancer" status, which works for three turns of the Pathfinder. The hero also increases the penetration effect, increasing the damage at the moment of breaking through the enemy's resistance, which significantly speeds up the passage of content with any number of enemies.
Sunday	Harmony	Imaginary	Universal support character: combines well not only with heroes who summon independent combat creatures to the battle arena, but also with other representatives of damage-dealing Paths. Increases crit. chance and crit. damage, advances the action by 100%, is a support that is undemanding to skill points, restores energy, and also comprehensively increases outgoing damage.
Sparkle	Harmony	Quantum	The main advantage of Sparkle is not only the increase in crit. damage, as well as total outgoing damage. The “klutz” in the mask directly affects the increase in the number of skill points used during battle, and also contributes to their accelerated recovery. In addition, due to the trace, it offers increases in attack power for quantum-type characters.
Tribby	Harmony	Quantum	Can be played in a mono-quantum build, and will also be useful in content where you have to face a group of enemies. Although Tribby is best combined with AoE damage dealers, Zele is quite an active attacker, which in any case helps to accumulate energy from the third trace. In addition, Tribby is able to accelerate her own speed in the appropriate build. It is optimal if there is another damage dealer in the team who deals damage to several targets and is not very demanding on skill points.
Asta	Harmony	Fiery	Free alternative to Armor. Although it grants less attack, in return it grants Super Speed ​​for 2 turns.
Yukong	Harmony	Imaginary	Superpower increases crit. damage and crit chance are pretty important stats for Zele. However, for this, the Roaring Bowstring status (at least level 1) must be active.
tingyun	Harmony	Электрический	With the help of a skill, it increases attack power, and with a super ability and technique, it restores energy up to 100 units. If there is no Armor, creates a good combo with Asta.
Hanja	Harmony	Physical	The skill imposes the negative Nosha status on one enemy, which increases the damage dealt and restores action points for every 2 hits. With a superpower, it increases the speed and attack power of the selected DD. With an open trail, Inferno restores a skill point immediately after killing a target with Burden, which fits perfectly with Zele's playstyle.
Silver Wolf	Nihility	Quantum	Thanks to the talent, when making an attack, it lowers the speed, attack power and defense of the enemy. With the help of the skill, it can randomly create a quantum vulnerability, providing Zele with an additional advantage.
Jiaoqiu	Nihility	Fiery	A powerful representative of the Nothingness, whose skills are aimed at applying the “Hot Ash” weakening (considered the DoT status “Burning”, which causes periodic damage of the fire type). Enemies affected by Burning Ash take increased damage. The superpower, in turn, inflicts a high level of damage and also imposes a third-party debuff that increases the damage taken by opponents from ultimate DPS-type skills.
Welt	Nihility	Imaginary	Inflicts negative effects on enemies, delaying their actions and reducing their speed by up to 80%. Can deal area damage with her ultimate.
sang	Nihility	Ice	When using a technique, when entering a battle, it instantly reduces the defense of a random enemy by 20% for 2 turns. Deals Frost damage in an area with Super ability and inflicts the Common Decision status, which additionally weakens enemies.
Sampo	Nihility	Wind	The talent inflicts the Weathering status and deals periodic damage to several targets at the same time, which is useful in the battle against waves of enemies. With the help of technology blinds and delays the action.
Locha	Abundance	Imaginary	A support character who specializes in restoring the health of allies through skill and talent. Due to the fact that Zele often performs several actions per turn, Zele can take full advantage of the healing over time when making an attack.
Hoho	Abundance	Wind	A healer who can also apply buffs. With skill and talent, heals one or more squad members, and with superpowers, restores energy and increases attack power. At the same time, it can remove weakening from allies.

How to play Zele

Zele deals massive single-target damage with her abilities, so she is great at dealing with large enemies or bosses. Due to the talent "Reappearance" without any problems destroys small clusters of enemies, because after killing one of them it instantly gets a boost and an additional action.

In most cases it takes key position in the team. Although she can be combined with almost all characters, for maximum exposure she needs support that will provide her with buffs, or, conversely, weaken her enemies. In addition, do not forget about the “gluttony” in terms of spending skill points and take this into account during the battle.

Rotation

While playstyle may vary depending on the build, squad, or opponents, a general principle for building a Zele rotation can be identified:

1. Before the battle, use the technique "Phantom Illusion"to enter Stealth and attack from ambush.
2. If there are several enemies, use the skill "Blade in Sheath" on an enemy with average HP or basic attack "Raid" on a small scale (ideally they should have quantum vulnerability). After defeating one enemy, the talent “Repeated Appearance” will trigger, which will allow you to perform another action.
3. Continue attacking enemy targets with the skill until the current turn ends.
4. Once enough energy has accumulated, use your superpower "Whirlwind of butterflies". Remember that the ultimate can be activated at any time, regardless of whose turn it is.
5. When it's your support heroes' turn, use skills or ultimates to apply buffs to your allies, particularly Zele, or negative effects to your opponents.
6. Continue repeating the rotation until one of the largest monsters remains on the battlefield. Subsequently, use all your abilities on him until you win.

There is also a technique that will allow you to deal even more damage in one move. For this the superpower must be fully charged or close to it. The procedure is as follows:

• Defeat an enemy using a skill or basic attack. Then activate your ult until the action ends while the strike animation is happening.
• Use your superpower to destroy the next enemy.
• Defeat the third target by using a skill or basic attack again.

Conclusion on the character

Zele in HSR is one of the strongest legendary characters. She follows the Path of the Hunt, which allows her to deal massive damage to a single target. Despite a certain narrow focus, it has a high base speed and provides itself with additional action after killing an enemy. Thanks to this, it becomes effective in battles against a small concentration of small mobs.

Most often, he builds a squad around himself, while he can play with many damage dealers of the Path of Erudition or Destruction. They help close the "gaps" if you need to defeat several large opponents. Zele is able to show excellent results even without the legendary equipment, however, to maximize her potential, you should pay attention to at least the second eidolon and the Signature Light Cone “In the Night”.
