Aglaea, as the inaugural 5-star limited character from the Remembrance category in Honkai: Star Rail, excels as a damage dealer capable of engaging multiple adversaries. Thanks to her impressive speed (SPD) and action advancement capabilities, she also performs admirably against solitary foes. However, maximizing her potential requires a well-crafted build.

Constructing Aglaea is akin to building other characters within the HSR roster. With a user-friendly skill set, she is straightforward to wield in combat scenarios. For players seeking guidance on how to optimally build Aglaea, the following sections delve into the recommended Relics, Light Cones, and stats.

Best Aglaea Build in HSR

Aglaea, a Remembrance character, is accompanied by Garmentmaker—a sentient mannequin adept in swordplay. Together, they unleash a rapid and powerful assault similar to a lightning strike.

Currently, options for gear sets and Light Cones suited for Remembrance characters are somewhat limited. Nonetheless, available sets complement Aglaea effectively. Essentially, build her as you would any other DPS character.

Relics and Stats

A piece from the Hero of Triumphant Song set in HSR

Ideal Aglaea Relics
Relic Set	Effect
Hero of Triumphant Song	Boosts ATK by 12%.When Memosprite is deployed, increases SPD by 6%.Increases both CRIT DMG for the wearer and Memosprite by 30% for 2 turns upon Memosprite’s attack.
Wondrous BananAmusement Park	Enhances CRIT DMG by 16%.If a target summoned by the wearer is active, CRIT DMG rises by an additional 32%.

Currently, the best Relic and Planar Ornament sets for Aglaea are Hero of Triumphant Song and Wondrous BananAmusement Park, respectively. These sets are particularly advantageous for characters that summon units.

If acquiring well-rolled Relics from these sets proves challenging, consider the following alternatives:

2PC/2PC combination of any Relic set that boosts +ATK% or Lightning DMG
Shiny Arena
Frontline Firmament: Glamoth

Utilizing Wishful Resin crafts Relics can ensure at least two preferred substats on a piece.

While Rutilant Arena and Glamoth Ornaments do not impact Garmentmaker, they still enhance Aglaea’s damage, which is crucial during her Ultimate phase. Notably, the 32% CRIT DMG boost from BananAmusement Park does not apply to Memosprites. Nevertheless, it remains her best-in-slot (BiS) Ornament set, provided players maintain an adequate CRIT Rate.

For optimal stats, strive to reach or nearly achieve the following benchmarks:

ATK: ~2000 (without buffs)
CRIT Rate/DMG: 80/160
SPD: 160
Energy Regen: 119.4%

Given that Aglaea’s Ultimate requires a substantial 350 Energy, it is advisable to opt for an Energy Regeneration piece among her Planar Ornaments instead of an ATK% or Lightning DMG piece, assuming you lack Sunday.

Regarding Light Cones, Aglaea’s signature Light Cone, Time Woven Into Gold, stands out as the best option. It passively grants a 12% SPD increase, while Aglaea and Garmentmaker accumulate stacks of Brocade with each attack. Brocade enhances CRIT DMG and Basic ATK DMG by 9% per stack at level S1, which elevates to 15% per stack at level S5, stacking up to a maximum of six times.

Other viable options include:

Sweat Now, Cry Less: Provides a 12% CRIT Rate and boosts DMG by 24% when the wearer’s Memosprite is active (S1).
Genius’ Greeting: Increases ATK by 16% and boosts both the wearer’s and Memosprite’s Basic ATK DMG by 20% after the Ultimate is utilized (S1).

Given the scarcity of Light Cones tailored for Remembrance units, these are presently the only suitable 4-star options for Aglaea. Among these, Sweat Now, Cry Less emerges as the premier 4-star choice due to its CRIT and damage enhancements, though it is exclusively available through the battle pass.

Traces

To optimize Aglaea’s performance, prioritize leveling her abilities in the following sequence:

Thorned Nectar (Basic ATK)
Body Brewed By Tears (Garmentmaker Talent)
Dance, Destined Weaveress (Ultimate)
Thorned Snare (Garmentmaker Skill)
Rosy-Fingered (Talent)
Rise, Exalted Renown (Skill)

The majority of Aglaea’s damage output derives from her Basic ATK—especially in its heightened state—alongside her Ultimate and Garmentmaker’s attacks. After enhancing her primary skills, proceed to unlock the rest of her Major and Minor Traces.
