Guinaifen is the latest 4-star character added to Honkai: Star Rail's roster. As a Fire Nihility character, Guinaifen specializes in dealing Burn Do) while increasing her own damage against enemies afflicted with Burn. Her gameplay concept is similar to other characters like Sampo or Kafka, but there are specific nuances to maximize her effectiveness in a team composition.
Honkai: Star Rail — Best Kafka Team Compositions
Kafka is a bit of a niche pick, but that doesn't mean she can't work well with other members of the Honkai: Star Rail cast.
It's important to note that as of now, Nihility characters in Honkai: Star Rail generally focus on either a DoT-style gameplay or debuffing enemies to support the team. As such, not every light cone or relic is well-suited for Guinaifen. With this distinction in mind, here are the best builds for Guinaifen to maximize her potential in Honkai: Star Rail.

Guinaifen Best Relics In Honkai: Star Rail
Guinaifen is a versatile character with both sub-DPS and main-DPS potential. When it comes to selecting relic sets to enhance her damage output, she benefits from sets that increase her damage potential. Given her scaling with ATK% and Fire damage, the ideal relic set for Guinaifen is the Firesmith of Laval-Forging with a 4-piece set bonus. This set provides her with both Fire Damage increase (2-piece bonus) and a powerful damage boost from her Skill (4-piece bonus). Since Guinaifen should use her Ultimate frequently, she also benefits from the 4-piece set bonus's effect that boosts her Fire DMG for the next attack after using her Ultimate.
Players who lack the ideal pieces for a 4-piece bonus can mix and match 2-piece effects from the Firesmith of Laval-Forging and the Musketeer or Wild Wheat sets. Additionally, for her Planar Ornament, the Space Sealing Station is the best option to further increase her attack. As Guinaifen benefits from some speed in her build, she can reach the 120 Speed threshold to unlock the conditional ATK buff provided by this ornament.
When choosing the primary stats for Guinaifen's relics, players should aim for Speed on her Feet relic, ATK% on her Body relic, Energy Recharge on the Link Rope relic, and Fire DMG on the Planar Sphere relic. However, if players are missing a specific piece or have limitations, they can use ATK% as a substitute for some of these slots. For sub-stats, prioritize stats like ATK%, Speed, and Energy Recharge. These are crucial for enhancing Guinaifen's damage output and ensuring she can use her abilities more frequently. In addition, having sub-stats like Crit Rate and Crit DMG can also be beneficial, even though her DoT damage doesn't typically crit. Guinaifen can still benefit from these stats to some extent, especially when dealing direct damage.
Guinaifen Best Light Cones In Honkai: Star Rail
Guinaifen excels with light cones that enhance her overall damage and her DoT damage, which is a key part of her kit. The best light cone for Guinaifen is Kafka's signature light cone, "Patience Is All You Need," which increases her damage, speed, and DoT damage separately. It provides a comprehensive boost to her capabilities and is an excellent choice for maximizing her potential. The second-best option is "Solitary Healing," which is a free-to-play option available through the Herta Store. This light cone can be easily max superimposed and offers benefits such as increased Break Effect, Energy Regeneration, and enhanced DoT damage. It's a solid choice for Guinaifen, especially for those that want to focus on Break Effect and have reliable energy regeneration.
Honkai: Star Rail - Which Nameless Glory Light Cone To Pick?
With a range of options available, it can be difficult to decide which light cone to invest in, or if it is worth investing in Nameless Glory itself.
For a 4-star light cone, "Good Night And Sleep Well" is a great choice. It works well when Guinaifen is paired with other characters who can inflict debuffs or DoT effects on enemies effectively. As such, if players are planning to pair Guinaifen with characters like Kafka, this light cone can provide significant value to your team.

Guinaifen's main utility comes from her Skill and Ultimate, with her Talent and Basic Attack being of lower priority. To maximize her effectiveness quickly while conserving resources, players should prioritize the following order:
- Skill
- Ultimate
- Talent
