Honkai: Star Rail – Hanya build and ascension guide

Punish all evil with the best Honkai: Star Rail Hanya build and bring karmic retribution to all who deserve it. This judge of the Xianzhou Luofu’s Ten-Lords Commission deals Physical DMG and is a follower of The Harmony. She’s a 4-Star character primarily intended to take on a role that supports the rest of the team.

Hanya’s Skill, Samsara, Locked, deals Physical DMG based on her ATK to a single target and inflicts them with Burden. For every two Basic Attacks, Skills, or Ultimates allies use on a target with Burden, they’ll recover a Skill Point. Burden can only be applied to one target at a time and disappears after two Skill Points have been recovered through its effect. Thanks to Hanya’s Talent, Sanction, damage dealt by allies’ Basic Attacks, Skills, or Ultimates against a target with Burden is increased for two turns. Two of her Traces further provide small ATK and Energy Regeneration boosts to allies attacking a target with Burden.

Her Ultimate, Ten-Lords’ Decree, All Shall Obey, targets a single ally to increase their SPD and ATK for two turns.

Hanya’s Eidolon Levels can be upgraded by pulling additional copies of her and boost her capabilities even more. Eidolon 1 advances Hanya’s turn when an ally under the influence of her Ultimate defeats an enemy. Eidolon 2 increases Hanya’s SPD after she uses her Skill. Eidolon 4 extends the duration of her Ultimate by another turn and Eidolon 6 increases her Talent’s damage boost.

After recovering Skill Points four times, the wearer can reactivate this buff.

Honkai: Star Rail – Hanya: best teams

Hanya is a strong generalist support, who can greatly enhance the damage output of a team’s Main DPS as well as provide enough Skill Points to allow a party to unfold its true potential.

• Imbibitor Lunae (Main DPS), Hanya (Support), Yukong (Support), Luocha (Healer)

Imbibitor Lunae is incredibly Skill Point-hungry, which leaves very little room for anyone else. With Hanya providing additional Skill Points and buffing Imbibitor Lunae’s damage alongside Yukong, the awakened dragon will have even greater damage output. You may even have Skill Points left over for a last-second heal from Luocha, Bailu, Huohuo, or another healer.
