Here are some tips to help you master Rappa’s playstyle in Honkai Star Rail:

Ensure you have the right Relic pieces and team configuration to support Rappa, as a lack of synergy can hinder her effectiveness and your overall team’s performance.
Prioritize quickly using Rappa’s ultimate to move her into the Sealform state as soon as possible.
While in this state, target enemies with low toughness for maximum damage, but don’t hesitate to strike others with her last hit, which affects all foes.
If Rappa possesses moderate to high SPD, she’ll quickly regain her ultimate after exiting the Sealform state. Reuse it continuously until the battle concludes.
Utilize your supporters, such as Harmony MC and Ruan Mei, before Rappa’s turn to ensure their buffs are active, maximizing her damage output.
