Numby is here, along with his partner – Honkai Star Rail’s Topaz. Just kidding, Topaz is the star here even if her little Warp Trotter buddy is adorable. She’s a debt collector for the Interastral Peace Corporation and is a five-star, fire-wielding unit, specializing in follow-up damage and buffing her team. Here’s the best Topaz build to max out her damage.

Here’s everything you need to know about building Honkai Star Rail’s Topaz (and Numby):
What’s the best Honkai Star Rail Topaz build?
Topaz is a five-star, fire-using character who follows the path of The Hunt.
| Best light cone | Worrisome, Blissful |
| Light cone substitutes | Sleep Like The Dead, Swordplay |
| Best relic set | Ashblazing Grand Duke |
| Planar ornaments | Duran, Dynasty of Wolves |
| Main stats | Body – Crit rate/damage Feet – Attack Link rope – Attack Planar sphere – Fire damage bonus |
| Sub stats | Crit rate, crit damage, attack, speed |
Topaz specializes in follow-up attacks and relies on crit stats to really pack a punch. Her piggy friend Numby features in most of her attacks. The drawback with Topaz is that she only really deals single-target damage, but can really help in a follow-up and debuff-centered team.
The overall best light cone you can equip Topaz with is her signature ‘Worrisome, Blissful’, but a good Hunt-aligned cone that boosts follow-up damage will also work. As for relics, you want to get her a good set of Firesmith of Lava-Forging to boost her fire damage and focus on attack, crit, and speed substats.
How do I use Topaz?
Topaz excels as a sub-DPS (though Numby is the true star of the show) and as a support unit for characters that deal in follow-up attacks. Her kit allows her to improve the damage that her follow-ups deal to a ridiculous point.
If you’re focusing on a sub-DPS Topaz, then using her skill increases the damage enemies take from follow-up attacks from her and other party members. If you’re using her as your main DPS, then using buffers like Asta, March 7th, or Tingyn will improve her personal damage. And Numby’s, let’s not forget about Numby!
What is the best Topaz light cone?
Topaz’s best light cone is her signature, Worrisome, Blissful. However, if you’re not in a position to pull for that, any of these other Hunt light cones will be good for Topaz.
| Worrisome, Blissful | This light cone increases Topaz and Numby’s crit rate by 18%. Her follow-up damage gets a 30% increase as well. When Topaz uses a follow-up attack, the target gets the Tame state. This can stack two times. When Topaz or other teammates hit this target, each stack of Tame it has increases your crit damage by 12% | Light cone banner |
| Swordplay | Each time Topaz hits the same target, her damage increases by 8%, stacking up to five times. This is reset when she changes targets | All banners |
| Cruising in the Stellar Sea | Increases Topaz’s crit rate by 8%, and increases her crit rate against enemies with 50% or less HP by a further 8%. When she defeats an enemy, her attack increases by 20% for two turns | Purchase from Herta’s Store |
| Only Silence Remains | Increases Topaz’s attack by 16%. If there are two or fewer enemies on the field, her crit rate increases by 12% | All banners |
| Darting Arrow | When Topaz defeats an enemy, her attack increases by 24% for three turns | All banners |
What are the best relics for Topaz?
To get the best damage out of Topaz, the best relics to equip her with is a full set of the Ashblazing Grand Duke. Remember to keep an eye on substats, too, but aim for a fire-damage-boosting piece in there. If you plan on having at least one debuff on enemies at all times, you can use a full set of Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters on Topaz to up the damage her, and her teammates, deal to said debuffed enemies.
