Honkai: Star Rail – Rappa build and ascension guide

Discover the might of ninjutsu using the optimal Honkai: Star Rail Rappa setup, and grasp the art of being a ninja. As a 5-Star character under The Erudition, Rappa excels in dealing Imaginary DMG, signifying her expertise in area-of-effect assaults.

Her ability, Ninja Strike: Firmly Grounded, inflicts Fantasy Damage proportional to her Attack stat on all enemies currently in play.

Rappa’s extraordinary abilities, known as Nindō Supreme: I Love You, enable her to transition into the Sealform state. This state grants her an extra turn, awards three Chroma Ink points, boosts her Weakness Break Efficiency and Break Effect. The Sealform state also empowers her basic attack, using one Chroma Ink point, but when Chroma Ink runs out, the Sealform state comes to an end.

Ningu: Demonbane Petalblade is her powerful basic attack that inflicts imagined damage on a single target and nearby units with its first two strikes, and then extends to all opponents with the third strike. This ability doesn’t replenish Skill Points, but instead weakens the resilience of enemies, regardless of whether they possess the Imaginary Weakness Type or not.

As Rappa, when I trigger Weakness Break on my foes, I unleash a jumping assault that dishes out Break Damage to them and lessens their Toughness, disregarding the type of Weakness they possess. Although the jumps are erratic, I’ll always aim for enemies who haven’t yet experienced Weakness Break first.

As a devoted admirer, let me share some insights about Rappa’s Eidolons: Acquiring multiple versions of Rappa yields these mystical entities that grant additional enhancements. The first Eidolon, when activated in her Sealform state, grants partial invincibility against enemy DEF and restores a bit of Energy upon leaving the state. The second Eidolon amplifies the Toughness Reduction on the initial two hits of her Enhanced Basic Attack. The fourth Eidolon boosts the team’s Speed when Rappa is in Sealform, while the sixth Eidolon raises her Talent’s Break DMG multiplier on the target and increases the number of bounces from that ability.

Honkai: Star Rail – Rappa: best Light Cones

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but sing praises for Rappa’s standout equipment – her iconic Light Cone, adorned with the Ninjutsu Inscription: Dazzling Evilbreaker. This gear is more than just a fashion statement; it amplifies my Break Effect and instantly infuses me with Energy at the onset of battle, propelling me swiftly towards my Ultimate and Sealform state. Post-Ultimate usage, the Raiton status effect takes hold, allowing me to leap forward in action after dishing out two Basic (or Enhanced) Attacks.

Best Light Cones for Rappa in HSR:

  • Ninjutsu Inscription: Dazzling Evilbreaker (5-Star)
  • Night on the Milky Way (5-Star)
  • Eternal Calculus (5-Star)
  • After the Charmony Fall (4-Star)
  • The Day The Cosmos Fell (4-Star)
  • The Seriousness of Breakfast (4-Star)
  • Geniuses’ Repose (4-Star)

Honkai: Star Rail – Rappa: best Relics

Rappa primarily focuses on improving three key attributes: she increases her Break Damage with Break Effect, amplifies the damage of her Enhanced Basic Attack through ATK, and quickens her attacks and charges her Ultimate with SPD. Aim for a speed of 145 SPD to trigger Talia: Kingdom of Banditry’s abilities. Additionally, Rappa’s ATK also contributes to increasing the Break Damage that enemies receive due to one of her Traces.

As a gamer, I’d recommend Rappa to generate enough Energy using another one of her Traces. This Trace grants Energy when Elites on the field have their Weaknesses broken, plus the natural regeneration at the end of the Sealform state. However, if maintaining Sealform consistently proves challenging, it might be wise to consider investing in Energy Regeneration upgrades instead.

In essence, it’s unnecessary to focus on Critical Hit (CRIT) statistics for Rappa, as she doesn’t inflict critical damage. Instead, you might want to distribute her remaining stats into areas such as Defense (DEF), Effect Resistance (Effect RES), and other factors that contribute to her survivability and protection against debuffs.

Honkai: Star Rail – Rappa: best team comps

Rappa is another fine addition to the Break Meta, though with more of a focus on clearing waves.

  • Rappa (Main DPS), Trailblazer (Harmony) (Support), Ruan Mei (Support), Lingsha (Support)

You essentially replace the optimal Firefly squad member with Rappa. Trailblazer (Harmony), Ruan Mei, and Lingsha each have sets of equipment that enhance a gameplay strategy centered around Breaks, significantly increasing the speed and damage of Weakness Breaks.

No need to fret if you lack Lingsha, as Gallagher offers a strong 4-Star substitute instead. If your Trailblazer happens to be busy, Fugue makes for a great alternative.
