Every playable character in Honkai: Star Rail possesses their own unique abilities that become more powerful as you work to improve their statistics. One of the most important ways to enhance a character’s abilities is to equip them with Relics.

There are many different Relic sets available in Honkai: Star Rail, and the list consistently grows as new updates arrive, so it can be tough to figure out which ones to give each recruit.
Whether you’re struggling to build a character you just obtained or need to refresh an older recruits set, here is a breakdown of the best Relics for every playable character in Honkai: Star Rail, which we will update as new Relics and recruits join the game.
Best Relics for every Honkai: Star Rail character

The best relics for each Honkai: Star Rail character will largely vary depending on what path they are part of. There are also many ways to build each recruit, so you’ll find the ultimate best choices and some other options for the main Relics and the Planar Ornaments listed here, too.
Best Relics for characters on the Destruction path
Generally, the best Relics for Destruction characters are a combination of two different two-piece sets. The first set should build their specific elemental damage, and the second should raise their attack since characters who are part of this path are overall tanky damage dealers. Building critical rate and critical damage is important, too, whether it be through the main Relics or the additional Planar Ornaments.
