The enigmatic Dr. Ratio has arrived in Honkai Star Rail, and with him comes a whirlwind of potential. But before you unleash his devastating combo prowess, let’s make sure you’ve snagged him and honed his arsenal to perfection.
How to Get Dr. Ratio in Honkai: Star Rail
For those aspiring to add Dr. Ratio to their roster without spending a dime, the opportunity presents itself between the start of phase 2 version 1.6 on January 17, 2024, and the end of version 2.1. Complete the mission “The Blue – A Moment of Peace” during this period, and Dr. Ratio will be sent to you via in-game mail, ready to join your team.
The Blue — A Moment of Peace is conveniently part of the tutorial quests in Honkai Star Rail, making it accessible to newcomers. This mission is embedded within the first Trailblaze Mission, “Today Is Yesterday’s Tomorrow,” providing an introductory gacha tutorial that not only rewards players with Asta but also unlocks the Travel Log feature.
Honkai: Star Rail Dr. Ratio Build Guide
Best Light Cone
Now, to unlock his true potential, let’s talk Light Cones. The holy grail for Dr. Ratio is Baptism of Pure Thought. It boosts his CRIT DMG significantly, and every enemy debuff you apply translates to even more crit against them. Plus, his Ultimate unleashes a “Disputation” effect that amplifies his damage and bypasses enemy defenses. It’s a force to be reckoned with!
If Baptism eludes you, fear not! Worrisome, Blissful, In the Night offer solid alternatives. Need something readily available? Sleep Like the Dead or Cruising in the Stellar Sea will do the trick. For 4-star options, Swordplay and Only Silence Remains are excellent choices.
Best Team Comps
Dr. Ratio shines brightest when his follow-up attacks land with brutal precision. Who better to pair him with than characters who excel at applying debuffs and setting up enemies for punishment? Topaz, Silver Wolf, and Luocha make fantastic companions. Craving a mono-Imaginary team? Combine Dr. Ratio with Welt, Luocha, and Yukong.
For a budget-friendly option, consider Yukong, Natasha, and Asta. They might not be the flashiest crew, but they’ll still dish out impressive damage with Dr. Ratio leading the charge.
Best Relics and Ornaments
For Relics, the Wastelander of Banditry Desert set reigns supreme. It amplifies Imaginary damage and enhances Dr. Ratio’s crit stats against debuffed and Imprisoned enemies. A perfect match for his follow-up attack playstyle.
Don’t forget the Inner Salsotto Ornament set! It bumps his CRIT Rate and rewards high crit builds with boosted Ultimate and follow-up attack damage.
