In just a few days, on December 6, the next version of Honkai Star Rail will open its gates and brings along one of the most fashionable characters the game has to offer! Of course, we are talking about Argenti from the Knights of Beauty. If you plan on spending your hard-earned wishes on him, the following guide will definitely help you to build Argenti the correct way!
The upcoming Honkai Star Rail character Argenti is probably not everyone’s cup of tea, however, he did manage to gather a pretty big fan base around him after his official trailer got released, just a few days ago! Many players appreciate his rather simple kit, especially with the autoplay mode in mind, since this mechanic tends to be a little confused on how to use more complicated units anyway.
No Mr. Autoplay, I don’t want my tank buffed for the third time in a row, thanks! …
If you also plan in pulling for Argenti, this guild will provide you with all the information on his best build and Light Cones. Let's get right into it!
Honkai Star Rail Argenti Build: Best Light Cones & Team Comp
Have you ever heard of “The Knights of Beauty”? They are a part of a rather small faction in the Honkai Star Rail universe, and known for fervently praising the beauty of the Aeon Idrila. Unfortunately, after Idrila's disappearance, the formation began to crumble and nowadays, only a few skillful warriors are left to fight in the name of beauty.
| 📌 Argenti Overview | |
| Banner Start: | December 6, 2023 |
| Element & Path: | Physical / The Erudition |
| Rarity: | 5-Star |
| Pre Release Ranking: | lower S-Tier |
| Difficulty: | Super Easy |
Argenti is one of said knights, who are still standing their ground to this day. Generally speaking, he prefers to continue his journey on upholding the good name of beauty on his own, however, if you happen to meet him on his travels through the cosmos, don’t be afraid to ask him for help. He is, after all, a knight who serves the ones in need.
He definitely puts on a show!
If this didn’t make you pull for him, I don’t know what will!
Argenti Best Build
In order to make your Argenti build as good as possible, you should aim to give him a completed 4-piece set together with a 2-piece set! If there is no other option, you can also go with three 2-piece sets.
Luckily, Argenti's relic choices are as easy as the rest of this kit! All in all, a super straightforward character, no matter if you are looking at his abilities, builds, and team compositions!
Relic Set Combination #1
This is by far Argenti's best Relic option:
- 4-piece: Champion of Streetwise Boxing
- 2-piece: Firmament Frontline: Glamoth
Relic Set Combination #2
If you struggle to find fitting pieces for his best in slot set, you can also try out this option:
- 2-piece: Musketeer of Wild Wheat / Messenger of Traversing Hackerspace
- 2-piece: Champion of Streetwise Boxing
- 2-piece: Firmament Frontline: Glamoth / Insert Salsotto
Last but not least, onto his best sub stats!
Best Stats for Argenti
The right (sub)stats are just as important as the correct set is! You should aim for the following stats:
- Body: Crit RATE / Crit DMG
- Boots: SPD / ATK%
- Planar Sphere: Physical DMG / ATK%
- Link Rope: ATK% / ERR
- Overall Prio: Crit RATE / DMG → ATK % = SPD → Break Effect
All there is left to do now, is praying for some lucky rolls!
Argenti Light Cones
As I already mentioned, Argenti is a pretty simple and straightforward character, who can basically make use of every offensive stats in the game. Here are some of his best options:
1. An Instant Before A Gaze:
It should be so no one's surprise that Argenti's signature Light Cone is also his best in slot choice. Especially the additional Energy Recharge scaling fits his kit perfectly, since it synergies quite well with his Ultimate ability.
An Instant Before A Gaze has the following effect:
- Increases the wearer's CRIT DMG by 36%. When the wearer uses Ultimate, increases the wearer's Ultimate DMG based on their Max Energy. Each point of Energy increases the Ultimate DMG by 0.36%, up to 180 points of Energy. (S1)
If you really like Argenti's play style, this weapon is definitely worth investing!
2. Before Dawn
Whoever pulled for Before Dawn back in 1.1 has certainly made a smart choice! Ever since this Light Cone came out, it is one of the best choices for every singe Erudition character! Its sheer amount of stats and the super strong effect, makes it a perfect all-rounder weapon to have in your inventory!
Before Dawn has the following effect:
- Increases the wearer's CRIT DMG by 36%. Increases the wearer's Skill and Ultimate DMG by 18%. After the wearer uses their Skill or Ultimate, they gain Somnus Corpus. Upon triggering a follow-up attack, Somnus Corpus will be consumed and the follow-up attack DMG increases by 48%. (S1)
3. Today Is Another Peaceful Day
If we are looking at the 4-Star options, Today Is Another Peaceful Day is, especially at S5, an incredibly good weapon for Argenti! Just as his signature Light Cones, this 4-Star option also scales with the wearer's Energy Recharge and max Energy.
Today Is Another Peaceful Day has the following effect:
- After entering battle, increases the wearer's DMG based in their max Energy. DMG increases by 0.20% per point of Energy, up to 160. (S1)
Onto Argenti's best team comp! Who will work well with the Knight of Beauty?
Argenti Team Comp
Since Argenti is an Erudition character, he is basically meant to be a carry unit, and a pretty strong one at that. Luckily, his simple play style allows for many possible teammates, since he profits off of most buffs and stats given by his supports! Because of that, it is more than viable to play him with two Harmony units instead of just one, in order to make him as strong as possible!
Argenti Hyper Carry
Since Argenti is super stat hungry and is not particularly picky with which buffs his team can give him, you should try playing him with two buffers!
Since Hanya will be on Argenti's banner as a 4-Star unit anyway, you should totally use her in combination with him! Next to her, Huohuo seems to be a good healer for this team, since she also provides her mates with additional Energy, which is a super valuable stat for Argenti. If you don’t have Pela or just simply don’t like her, you can use Asta or Tingyun instead.
Duo Quantum / Duo Physical
Even though this team might not be the very best in terms of raw damage output, it is definitely super fun to play! Especially with the addition of Hanya, this team gets even more exciting!
You can pretty much guarantee physical weakness on every enemy with this team, making Argenti's damage output even better. Silver Wolf really is a must-have …
And that wraps up everything there is to know about Argenti and his best build! We wish you the best of luck if you should try to pull for him in 1.5!
