Catch your adversaries off guard by gifting them an outstanding build for Honkai: Star Rail’s character, Sampo Koski. Spread your excitement contagiously, as this character, whether liked or disliked, is unforgettable in the game. He adheres to the Path of The Nihility and inflicts Wind damage.
In simpler terms, “Ricochet Love,” one of his abilities, causes wind damage proportional to his attack power. This damage can jump from one enemy to another, potentially hitting up to four opponents.
Sampo’s extraordinary gift, the Whirlwind Blast, deals Wind damage proportional to his attack power and automatically boosts the damage that enemies take from persistent effects like DoT (Damage Over Time) for the next two rounds. Interestingly, his talent, Wind-Ripped Dagger, significantly increases this potency by causing approximately 65% of his attacks to inflict Wind Shear for three consecutive turns.
To enhance Sampo even more, consider acquiring multiple versions of him and elevating his Eidolon level. With each level increase, several benefits are unlocked:
1. Level 1 enhances the number of bounces from his Skill.
2. At Level 2, Sampo activates his Talent against all opponents when an enemy with Wind Shear is vanquished.
3. By reaching Level 4, he inflicts additional damage on enemies carrying at least five stacks of Wind Shear.
4. At Level 6, his Eidolon boosts the damage of Wind Shears generated by his Talent by another 10%.
Honkai: Star Rail – Sampo: best Light Cones
Sampo will greatly appreciate Good Night and Sleep Well, a 4-Star artifact that boosts his damage based on the number of debuffs he has on his target, up to a maximum of three. Since Durability over Time (DoT) effects are considered debuffs, this makes it simple for him to increase his attack power significantly.
Best Light Cones for Sampo in HSR:
- Good Night and Sleep Well (4-Star)
- Eyes of the Prey (4-Star)
- In the Name of the World (5-Star)
- Solitary Healing (5-Star)
- Fermata (4-Star)
Honkai: Star Rail – Sampo: best Relics
It’s possible that Sampo won’t always require Weakness Break to trigger Wind Shear, meaning his Break Effect may not be as significant as it initially appears. Instead, Attack (ATK) and Effect Hit Rate are more vital because they have a greater impact on increasing his overall damage.
Best Relic Sets for Sampo in HSR:
- Prisoner in Deep Confinement (4) – +12% ATK, the wearer’s attacks ignore 6% of the enemy’s DEF for every DoT on them, counting up to three DoTs.
Best Planar Ornaments for Sampo in HSR:
- Firmament Frontline: Glamoth (2) – +12% ATK, +12%/18% damage when the wearer’s SPD is 135/160 or higher.
- Pan-Cosmic Commercial Enterprise (2) – +10% Effect Hit Rate, ATK increases by up to 25% of Effect Hit Rate.
Best stats for Sampo in HSR:
- Head – HP (Primary), ATK %, Effect Hit Rate, SPD, CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG
- Hands – ATK (Primary), ATK %, Effect Hit Rate, SPD, CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG
- Body – Effect Hit Rate (Primary), ATK %, SPD, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG
- Feet – SPD (Primary), ATK %, Effect Hit Rate, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG
- Planar Sphere – Wind DMG (Primary), ATK %, Effect Hit Rate, SPD, CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG
- Link Rope – ATK % (Primary), Effect Hit Rate, SPD, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG
Honkai: Star Rail – Sampo: best teams
As an ardent admirer, I’d like to highlight that Sampo truly shines in Damage over Time (DoT) team setups. His unique ability, Wind Shear, is quite remarkable as it can consistently apply the effect on multiple foes simultaneously, making him a reliable force in our battles.
- Kafka (Main DPS), Sampo (Sub DPS), Black Swan (Support), Huohuo (Support)
Kafka, Black Swan, and Sampo cause continuous damage (DoT) to enemy targets, with both Kafka and Black Swan also boosting this effect. Huohuo ensures the team’s survival, increases their attack power, and recharges everyone’s energy quickly for quicker use of their Ultimate abilities.
Honkai: Star Rail – Sampo: ascension materials
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to bring Sampo to the highest rank and improve all of his skills completely.
To take Sampo to the peak level and enhance every one of his abilities, follow this comprehensive guide.
To reach level 80, aside from earning the required experience points, Sampo needs these specific ascent materials:
- Credits x246,000
- Ancient Part x12
- Ancient Spindle x13
- Ancient Engine x12
- Storm Eye x50
As a devoted fan, I’m excited to share that I gather Antiquated Components, Antique Spindles, and Antique Machinery from adversaries within the Robot Settlement or the Grand Mine, along with the Simulated Universe. These items can also be crafted or swapped through the Omni-Synthesizer onboard the Astral Express. What’s intriguing is that Antiquated Components serve as a primary resource, effortlessly obtained through Daily Tasks assigned to my characters, ensuring a consistent supply of this valuable material.
In Rivet Town, you can either receive Storm Eyes from a lingering darkness or acquire them by trading scarce resources of equal value. A reliable source for Credits is the Golden Calyxes scattered across the universe.
Sampo requires the following materials to upgrade her combat abilities and Traces:
- Credits x2,400,000
- Ancient Part x28
- Ancient Spindle x42
- Ancient Engine x42
- Arrow of the Beast Hunter x12
- Arrow of the Demon Slayer x54
- Arrow of the Starchaser x105
- Guardian’s Lament x12
- Tracks of Destiny x5
To find the Arrow of the Beast Hunter, Arrow of the Demon Slayer, and Arrow of the Starchaser, look up in the previous section as they’re now accessible from the Crimson Calyx (Outlying Snow Plains). In your usual method, you can synthesize the high-level materials by employing lower-level materials within the Omni-Synthesizer onboard the Astral Express.
The Destroyer’s Last Journey is an elite boss encounter that can exclusively be acquired from the Echo of War (Supply Zone) area. On the other hand, Traces of Fate can be obtained during limited-time events, the Embers Trade, the Nameless Glory, or as a Reward for Simulated Universe Points.
