Acheron from Honkai Star Rail - this is a new five-star character of version 2.1, which will appear in the first half of the update. At the time of writing the guide, the official release of Acheron has not yet taken place, so all information is preliminary and may change after the release of the heroine's banner.

In this guide, you will learn how to build Acheron in Honkai Star Rail, specifically which cones, relics, and team to use with her.

How to play Acheron in Honkai Star Rail

Acheron - a very strong Electro DPS of the Path of Nihility. Her damage and playstyle are more similar to the Hunt character, as she deals incredible damage both to single targets and groups of enemies. Acheron's main feature is that she does not need energy recovery points because her ultimate will be activated automatically under certain conditions, namely after applying the required amount of debuffs.

Talent upgrade priority for Acheron

All skills (except for attack) will increase overall damage, survivability, and other important factors. 

1. Ultimate
2. Talent
3. Skill
4. Attack (if desired)

Best Eidolons for Acheron

All of them are good, but the best ones are E2, E4, and E6.

Best Cones for Acheron

?	Acheron Cone - the character's signature cone, the best of the possible options. We highly recommend saving up and obtaining it along with Acheron.
	Velt Cone - a cone that will also work well for Acheron. However, tests are needed, so we await the update.
	Kafka Cone - a possible alternative, but tests are needed, so we await the update.
	Good Night and Sleep Well - the best cone of the fours, but it is preferable to collect P5.
	We Will Meet Again - suitable for the early stages of the game.

Best Relics for Acheron

	Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters. The best option available for Acheron with a signature.
	Prisoner in Deep Confinement. A great option if you don't have a signature and you have good pieces. You can also consider the Electro set.
2X / 2X	You can simply mix these options while saving up for a full set. Also a strong mix and very budget-friendly.

Best Planar Ornaments for Acheron

	Inert Salsotto. Definitely the best option for the character, as it significantly increases overall damage due to the passive and critical hits.
	Firmament Frontline Glamoth. On par with the higher-tier planar, if it lags behind in damage, it's not much.
	Station. Will not boost damage as much, but still good and budget-friendly.

Which stats to upgrade Acheron

Again, stats depend on your cone and relics; it's important to balance them.

• Body: Crit damage or Crit rate
• Legs: Speed or ATK% (not recommended, only if you have E2, signature, and Path of Nihility characters in the team)
• Sphere: Electro damage bonus
• Rope: ATK%

Best teams with Acheron

Teams need to be tested, so the guide will be updated later. But one thing we know for sure - without E2, you need to have at least 2 Path of Nihility characters in the team to increase Acheron's ultimate damage.

• Best team: Kafka - Black Swan - Acheron - HuoHuo / Luocha / another healer
• Acheron - Pela - Silver Wolf - Fu Xuan
