Honkai: Star Rail Welt Build Guide– In this Honkai: Star Rail Welt Build Guide, I’m going to share my Welt Build, one who is highly skilled at manipulating the Action Order of enemies to their disadvantage. He’s also an incredible Imaginary damage dealer, often destroying them in a matter of seconds. 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 highlight Welt’s capabilities in combat. If you’re looking for an early game Level 40 Welt Build, then this Guide is for you!
Welt is a 5-star character, whom you can pull from the Warp. He excels in dealing huge Imaginary Damage against multiple enemies. But what he does best is to inflict the Imprisonment effect to stifle the number of actions these targets perform in combat. As such, you get to obliterate them with great efficiency while lowering the chances of getting hit pretty badly.
Welt has some Effect Resistance boosts due to his Traces but he doesn’t have a good Defense Stat similar to the other damage dealers. It’s for this reason that you’ll need Natasha in the team to provide sufficient healing. You’ll also want Tingyun to boost his attacks as well as a main DPS in the form of Seele or Dan Heng who will take the lead in dealing insane amounts of damage.
Similar to Sampo, Welt follows the Nihility Path so he’s an excellent character who inflicts debuffs to literally slow down targets, may they be regular enemies or elites. Because of this, he’s ideal to have in the party on top of his DPS abilities. To achieve both roles with great efficiency, you’ll want to focus on Welt’sEffect Hit Rate,Speed, andBreak Effect.
Increasing his Effect Hit Rate considerably improves his chances of applying Imprisonment, which works quite like the Freeze status effect in terms of immobilizing the target and delaying their turn in combat. But instead of taking damage over time (DoT), their Speed will also be reduced, thereby lowering the frequency at which they attack. This is a game-changer, especially when successfully inflicted against stronger enemies since you’ll end up rendering their abilities useless. Next is enhancing Welt’s Speed, which is self-explanatory, and then his Break Effect. The moment he reduces the target’s Toughness to 0, he gains the advantage of dealing greater Imaginary Damage.
For this build, you’ll have Welt focus on primarily inflicting debuffs while taking on the role of a secondary or sub DPS. As a damage dealer, you’ll want to raise his substats, which includeAttack %,Crit Rate, andCrit Damageto further boost his Imaginary Damage.
Should you get lucky enough to acquire multiple copies of Welt, he’ll gain significant bonuses. At Eidolon Level 1, he gains Legacy of Honor. Right after using the Synthetic Black Hole Ultimate Ability, the extra Imaginary Damage he deals with his Basic Attack and Skill go up by a large margin. So regardless of whether you’d want Welt to fulfill the role of a main or sub DPS, this should benefit him greatly.
Meanwhile, at Eidolon Level 4, there’s Appellation of Justice that considerably improves the chances of inflicting Speed reduction by more than 100% upon activating the Edge of the Void Skill. And lastly, it’s worth mentioning that even if neither of these Eidolons is unlocked, he continues to be an amazing character to play because of his crowd-control abilities.
In this section, we’ll talk about Welt’s Skills and Traces together with what you should prioritize in combat.
Good Night and Sleep Well is a good 4-star Light Cone in that debuffed enemies take increased Imaginary Damage, which can be further stacked for up to 3x. This is huge considering that Welt will most likely inflict Imprisonment, especially against regular enemies. As a result, the team will be able to clear crowds faster.
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 Effect Hit Rate and Speed. 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 Welt, it’s enough to level up his Relics to a maximum of +6 for 4-star gear until you get their 5-star versions to reserve enough resources by then.
For Welt’s Relics, you’ll only need to wear one 4-piece set, particularly the Thief of Shooting Meteor. It not only boosts his Break Effect to deal greater Imaginary Damage but also restores a portion of his Energy upon breaking the target’s Toughness. The chances for this to happen are pretty high considering that Welt’s role is a sub DPS so it can be up to him to inflict Weakness Break.
You can farm the Thief of Shooting Meteor Set from the Cavern of Corrosion: Path of Jabbing Punch. For the Thief’s Steel Grappling Hook and Meteor Boots, you should look out for Effect Hit Rate % and Speed as your main stats. If there’s no Speed, you can opt for 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 Welt Guide, I’ll be sharing the best characters to go with him and how effective their skills are for this build.
For your main DPS, you’ll want to choose Seele or Dan Heng. Seele is an extraordinary Quantum damage dealer who excels in gaining extra turns when she slays an enemy using Thwack, Sheathed Blade, or Butterfly Flurry Skills. On the other hand, you can select Dan Heng for the free-to-play version if you don’t have Seele yet. He also follows the Hunt Path and is more than equipped at inflicting massive Wind Critical Damage against a single target. This is further enhanced when he makes use of the Cloudlancer Art: Torrent Skill, which can reduce the enemy’s Speed upon landing a crit.
To improve Welt, Seele, and Dan Heng’s survivability, you’re going to need a highly reliable support character and healer in the form of Natasha who follows the Abundant Path. Due to her Love, Heal, and Choose Skill together with the Gift of Rebirth Ultimate, she can save the team in seemingly desperate moments. This makes her a worthy free-to-play character.
Finally, you’ll want to add Tingyun to the team. She’s another support character but one who follows the Harmony Path. Tingyun buffs an ally’s Attack using the Soothing Melody Skill such that they also become equipped at dealing Lightning Damage on top of their unique elemental damage. What’s more, is that their core damage is boosted for 2 turns and 50 Energy is replenished when she activates her Amidst the Rejoicing Clouds Ultimate.
Welt is another exceptional 5-star character because of his crowd-control techniques that lower the rate at which enemies get to attack in encounters. The idea with his skill rotation is to start by triggering the Gravitational Imprisonment Technique to inflict Imprisonment at the beginning of combat. Doing so will keep pushing them down the Action Order. Once he gains buffs from Tingyun, he can trigger the Synthetic Black Hole Ultimate to prolong the same status effect and to deal massive Imaginary Damage against all enemies. It’ll then be followed by Edge of the Void Skill and the Time Distortion Talent, further amplifying his overall damage against Slowed targets.
When you unlock Planetary Ornaments, you should go for the 2-piece set called the Pan-Galactic Commercial Enterprise. Doing so will increase Welt’s Effect Hit Rate while amplifying his Attack, and therefore Imaginary Damage, based on the Effect Hit Rate’s value.
