Honkai: Star Rail

Guides

Castorice may very well be the most broken unit in Honkai Star Rail, so here’s a Castorice build guide for her best build, teams, and relics.

Castorice is now playable in the Honkai Star Rail version 3.2 update! As the game’s second limited Remembrance character, Castorice has unmatchable value. Add her unique, global passive on this and you have a unit that’s almost a must-pull. Here’s a Castorice build guide for her Relics, Teams, and Light Cones to make the most out of what could be the most broken Honkai Star Rail character so far.

Honkai: Star Rail

Castorice build in Honkai Star Rail

Castorice is a 5-star Quantum character on the Path of Remembrance. Her Memosprite is a gigantic dragon called Pollux (also referred to as “Netherwing). Pollux is a big part ofher kit, but the most broken part of her gameplay has to do with her passive.

When your account has her or she is in your party (through theSupport system), Castorice can revive one character after they are defeated.

What kind of Honkai Star Rail team are you looking for?

Best Castorice Light Cones

Due to the Remebrance Path being new, there aren’t many choices for Castorice’s Light Cones. If you have the choice of whether to pull for her E1 or her Signature Light Cone, you should most likely opt for the Light Cone.

Premium pick: Make Farewells More Beautiful

Castorice’s Signature Light Cone is her best choice by a mile. It provides all the stats that she likes and allows her to ignore 30% of the enemy’s DEF.

Alternative Pick: Sweat Now, Cry Less

You can get this by purchasing the Nameless Honor (Battle Pass). This Light Cone is a generally good choice for Castorice if you can’t afford to roll for Make Farewells More Beautiful.

This Light Cone is acquired by progressing through the Amphoreus Trailblaze Mission. She cannot make full use of this Light Cone’s effects, but if you find yourself wanting more CRIT DMG and less HP, this is the go-to.

You can also opt for non-Remembrance Light Cones. As long as they provide a decent amount of HP, then Castorice can find some use for them.

Best Castorice teams

Castorice eats a lot of her and her allies' HP bars, so ahealeris a must. Luckily, she’s not too SP hungry, so you have the luxury to choose between most Abundance units. She benefits a lot from getting buffed and enjoys being augmented by allies. The ideal setup would beCastorice, two support units, and an Abundance unit.

Her best support units are:

Gallagher, despite being a 4-star character, is the best healer to go with Castorice. In the event that he isn’t available due to being used in other stages or not leveled up,Luochais a good secondary choice.
