The most exciting aspect of Honkai: Star Rail is the ongoing addition of new characters. These new arrivals bring fresh play styles to the game and keep combat engaging. Some characters are versatile and can be used with many team setups, while others are more specialized but excel in their specific niche.
Cerydra is a five-star Harmony character that falls into the latter category. Her buffs are only useful for certain characters, but if you have those characters, she can be one of the top units on your account.
### Best Cerydra Light Cones
Her top choice for a light cone is her signature, called Epoch Etched in Golden Blood. It’s a simple but powerful option that boosts her attack by 64%, allows her to recover a Skill Point when she uses her ultimate, and increases her allies’ skill damage by 54% after she uses her skill.
Other good options, depending on what you have available, include:
– Past Self in Mirror: boosts all allies’ damage by 24% after her ultimate and helps with energy regeneration.
– A Grounded Ascent: grants a 15% damage bonus to allies when she uses her skill on them and regenerates skill points with consecutive skill use.
– The Forever Victual: her best four-star light cone, provided through an event, boosting her attack heavily from the start and increasing it with each skill use.
– Dance! Dance! Dance!: improves turn order after her ultimate, which is useful in turn-based battles.
– Carve the Moon, Weave the Clouds: offers a random boost to the team each turn, ideal if you don’t have other top-tier cones.
### Best Cerydra Relics and Planar Ornaments
Equipping two or four pieces of certain relics or ornaments grants her set bonuses. The best relic set for her is Sacerdos’ Relived Ordeal, which increases her speed by 6% and boosts Crit Damage for a targeted ally, stacking up to 36%. The top planar ornament set is Lushaka, the Sunken Seas, increasing her energy regeneration and providing an attack boost to the first character in your lineup (excluding her).
### Cerydra Relics, Ranked
1. Sacerdos’ Relived Ordeal: boosts her speed and Crit Damage, especially effective when targeting specific allies.
2. Eagle of Twilight Line: offers wind damage and helps advance actions after her ultimate, but eventually less optimal than Sacerdos.
### Cerydra Planar Ornaments, Ranked
1. Lushaka, the Sunken Seas: best for energy regeneration and attack boosts.
2. Broken Keel: useful if she has Effect Resistance, giving a Crit Damage bonus to all allies.
3. Penacony, Land of the Dreams: increases damage of Wind DPS partners like Anaxa.
### Cerydra Stat Priority
– Body: Attack Percent
– Feet: Speed
– Sphere: Attack Percent
– Rope: Energy Regeneration Rate
– Sub-Stats: Speed, Attack Percent, Effect Resistance (if using Broken Keel), Crit Damage
To optimize her performance, aim for roughly 4,000 Attack and 140 Speed, maximizing Crit Damage from her talents.
### Best Cerydra Team Composition
Her strongest endgame teams typically include Phainon or Anaxa, as both depend heavily on their skill damage—aligning well with her buffs. Specific synergies include:
– If she has six charges with Phainon’s buff, she can double his meteor attack.
– With Anaxa, having her support can increase his skill usage from two to three times, provided enemies have enough weaknesses.
Avoid placing sustainers like Gallagher or Lynx in Phainon teams, as she usually won’t benefit from their presence, and they will be off-field most of the time. For other setups, skill-based DPS units such as Dan Heng, Sushang, or Archer work well, with Ice Trailblazer or Sparkle as secondary support and strong sustainers for energy and healing.
### Cerydra Overview and Trace Priority
Before deploying her in battles, understand her abilities:
– Her skill applies the Military Merit effect, boosting the target ally’s attack.
– Six charges upgrade this to Peerage, allowing her to copy the ally’s skill.
– She gains charges when allies use their skills or attacks, especially if they have Peerage.
– When allies have Peerage, she grants additional Crit Damage and all-type resistance penetration, plus extra damage when allies attack.
– Her ultimate hits all enemies with a high Crit rate and Crit Damage when bonus abilities are unlocked.
– She can apply Military Merit at the start of battle, and both her and her Military Merit allies gain additional speed and energy regeneration when she uses her skill.
When upgrading her traces, prioritize her skill and talents first, then her ultimate and bonus abilities. Level her basic attack as well, since it’s frequently used during combat.
