Honkai: Star Rail Clara Build Guide– In this Honkai: Star Rail Clara Build Guide, I’m going to share my Clara Build to destroy enemies while countering their attacks. I’ll be discussing the Stats and Skills you should pay attention to, the Light Cones and Relics to strive for, and the Companions to pick in order to make Clara shine in combat. If you want to effectively tank damage on top of dealing consistent Physical Damage across the board, then this Level 40 Clara Build Guide is for you!
Clara is a 5-star character who performs two major roles at the same time – one who deals great Physical Damage and another who tanks a ton of damage on behalf of the team. Thanks to her good relationship with Svarog, he consistently manages to protect her from taking too much damage that she can’t handle. Additionally, he launches effective counterattacks to harm enemies should they remain too pesky.
To make Clara’s team the best there is, you’ll need characters who will deal sufficient damage alongside her, buff damage dealers at all times, and provide adequate protection. To act as a secondary DPS, you’ll want Welt or Pela. They are dependable debuffers who can significantly weaken targets. Next is Tingyun who boosts an ally’s damage and gives back a portion of their Energy to be able to trigger their Ultimate Ability frequently. And finally, there’s March 7th who can summon a shield to help Clara absorb more damage.
In this Honkai: Star Rail Clara Build, Clara follows the Destruction Path so like the Physical Trailblazer, for instance, she’s not only capable of dealing considerable Physical Damage but also surviving a lot of the hits inflicted on her. But what’s different about this character is she’s under the protection of Svarog, which means that the damage she ends up absorbing is often lower than expected. This is also due to the Damage Reduction buff brought about by her Talent and Ultimate Ability. And as the main DPS of the team, it’s best to invest in the usualCrit Rate,Crit Damage, andAttack.
Raising these main stats will give her a distinct advantage in terms of dealing massive burst Physical Damage in addition to the damage over time (DoT) she inflicts when enemies are afflicted with Bleed. Since her Physical Damage scales with Attack, you’ll want to keep boosting this stat.
For substats, aside from continuously investing inCritandAttack, you’ll want to increaseHP,DEF, andBreak Effect. HP and DEF improve Clara’s survivability whereas Break Effect ensures that the burst damage and DoT she deals even after her target’s Toughness hits 0, will still remain effective and deadly. Pushing this stat higher will allow her to effectively obliterate them one after the other in rapid succession.
When it comes to Clara’s Eidolons, you’d want to ideally unlock all 6 to make the most out of this character. The ones that should take top priority areLong Companyat Level 6,A Tight Embraceat Level 2, andA Tall Figureat Level 1. Long Company makes it so that Svarog will be more likely to perform a follow-up attack against any ally’s attacker and tag them with Mark of Counter to take great damage. It’s a decent team-wide reaction to protect themselves well against incoming attacks. What’s more, is that when Clara activates her Ultimate, her Enhanced Counters can be triggered for up to 3x to deal significant Physical Damage for a longer period of time.
Next is A Tight Embrace, which rewards her further after using her Ultimate. Here, her Attack will be boosted for the next 2 turns. And finally, there’s A Tall Figure. A Tall Figure will prevent the removal of any Marks of Counter on a target even after Clara activates her Skill. As such, they’ll continue to receive high amounts of Physical Damage throughout the encounter.
In this section, we’ll talk about Clara’s Skills and Traces together with what you should prioritize in combat.
When it comes to Light Cones, the ones you’ll want to chase after for Clara’s kit are Collapsing Sky, The Moles Welcome You, and Something Irreplaceable. Collapsing Sky is a 3-star Light Cone that raises Clara’s I Want to Help Basic ATK and Svarog Watches Over You Skill Damage. Since Collapsing Sky is very common, it’s good to superimpose it by as much as Superimposition 5 and to ascend it up to Level 35 until you get ahold of The Moles Welcome You.
The Moles Welcome You is a good 4-star Light Cone that encourages Clara to make use of any of her abilities whether it’s Basic ATK, Skill, or Ultimate Ability. Every time she does, she gains 1 Mischievous stack, which translates into an Attack buff. As such, this Light Cone pushes her DPS capabilities to the limit to be able to destroy enemies as often as she can.
Last but not least is the 5-star Light Cone that’s best suited for Clara, namely Something Irreplaceable. Not only will her Attack be significantly enhanced but also, every time she either slays an enemy or gets hit, her damage increases. Furthermore, a large chunk of her HP will be restored, and it scales with Clara’s high Attack %. It’s worth noting that even though these effects won’t stack, they still contribute to her magnificent overall damage and survivability.
In terms of Relics, it’s important to remember that for the Head and Hands, your character gets a flat HP and Attack bonus, respectively. This isn’t the case for the Body and Feet, which are comprised of random stats such as Crit and Attack. Ideally, you’d want to equip 4-star Relics since they provide 2-3 substats in addition to their main stat. But remember that regardless of the rating, enhancing them for every 3 levels will yield a random substat. For a Level 40 Clara, it’s enough to level up her Relics to a maximum of +6 for 4-star gear until you get their 5-star versions to reserve enough resources by then.
For Clara’s Relics, you’ll only need to wear one 4-piece set, particularly the Champion of Streetwise Boxing. Not only does this considerably boost her Physical Damage but also enhances her Attack by up to 5x, which is triggered when she either attacks or gets hit by an enemy. Again, every damage and Attack boost is essential to push Clara’s damage even more.
You can farm the Champion of Streetwise Boxing Set from the Cavern of Corrosion: Path of Jabbing Punch. For the Champion’s Chest Guard and Fleetfoot Boots, you’ll want to be on the lookout for Crit and Attack, followed by HP, DEF, and Break Effect.
In Honkai: Star Rail, you’ll have all four characters available while combat is ongoing so you won’t be swapping from one to the next. There also won’t be elemental pools left behind. Instead, you’ll focus on the enemy’s weaknesses to deplete their Toughness and HP accordingly. For this Clara Guide, I’ll be sharing the best characters to go with her and how effective their capabilities are for this build.
Since Clara will be the main DPS in your team, you’ll want someone who can serve as a secondary or sub damage dealer on top of inflicting debuffs to weaken enemies. The best characters to fulfill this role are Welt or Pela of the Nihility Path. Welt is extraordinary in the sense that he can slow them down and render their abilities useless thanks to the Imprisonment effect. Comparatively, Pela can lower their defenses to be able to absorb more damage than expected. She’s also adept at freezing targets to immobilize them momentarily.
Next, I highly recommend picking Tingyun of the Harmony Path. She’s an exceptional buffer, often boosting the Attack and damage ratings of allies on top of restoring a large portion of their Energy thanks to the Amidst the Rejoicing Clouds Ultimate. Tingyun is someone you can definitely rely on to consistently provide buffs throughout encounters.
Last but not least, you’ll want to go for the free-to-play Preservation Path character, March 7th. The good thing about March 7th is she can deal a substantial amount of Ice Damage as well as conjure one shield at a time for allies. This will be crucial, especially in Clara’s case to further raise her Damage Reduction and tank more damage.
Clara is an impeccable 5-star character who’s able to carry her team to victory because of her capacity to deal huge Physical Damage and soak in a lot of the enemy’s attacks without folding. In terms of skill rotation, you’ll be prioritizing the Promise, Not Command Ultimate Ability to increase the chances of getting attacked. This is important for Svarog to not only deal Enhanced Counter later on but also to tag them with Mark of Counter so they’ll receive much more damage. You’ll then be supplementing this with the Svarog Watches Over You Skill to inflict double the Physical Damage against marked targets to destroy them quickly.
If you manage to pull Gepard, you’d be better off with him than March 7th. This is due to his amazing Ice damage-dealing capabilities that lets him freeze enemies. But more than that, he has the power to conjure multiple shields at once using Enduring Bulwark Ultimate. As such, he’s able to protect everyone on the team more effectively.
Lastly, when it comes to Planetary Ornaments, remember to select the Space Sealing Station. This will not only increase Clara’s Attack but also give it an extra boost when her Speed reaches a specific threshold.
