Best Skills and Passives for Welt in Honkai: Star Rail

Welt Best Skills in Honkai Star Rail

Welt is a versatile Honkai: Star Rail character with many powerful abilities. His Gravitational Imprisonment Technique creates a 15-second dimension that significantly reduces enemy Movement SPD by 50%.

Once enemies enter this dimension and engage in battle, they are guaranteed to be imprisoned for one turn, experiencing a 20% delay in their actions and a 10% reduction in SPD. It's important to note that only one dimension created by allies can be active at a time.

Regarding offensive capabilities, Welt's basic attack, Gravity Suppression, deals 50% of his ATK as imaginary damage to a single enemy. His skill, Edge of the Void, first strikes a single enemy with 36% of his ATK as imaginary damage, followed by two additional hits to random enemies, each inflicting 36% of his ATK as imaginary damage. Additionally, there is a 65% chance of reducing the enemy's SPD by 10 for two turns if the attack successfully connects.

Honkai: Star Rail devs have also granted Welt a powerful ultimate, Synthetic Black Hole, which inflicts imaginary damage equal to 90% of his ATK on all opponents. This ability deals not only powerful damage but also guarantees 1-turn imprisonment for enemies that get hit. As a result, their actions are delayed by 32%, and their SPD is reduced by 10%.

The character's passive talent, Time Distortion, further enhances his prowess by enabling him to deal extra imaginary damage equal to 30% of his ATK to enemies that are already slowed, making him an even more formidable force on the battlefield.

Best Light Cones for Welt in Honkai: Star Rail

Honkai Star Rail Welt Best Light Cones

One needs to perfectly understand the abilities of Welt before choosing a Light Cone for the Nameless. Firstly, Welt deals damage with abilities that seamlessly complement his stats. Secondly, he depends heavily on the Effect Hit Rate to win the match. While the game has multiple light cones, developers have made one specialized to his gameplay style. The light cone, "In The Name of the World," fits perfectly with Welt and his prowess in Honkai: Star Rail.

This gear increases the wearer's damage to debuffed enemies by 24% and boosts the Effect Hit Rate for their skill by 18%. Additionally, the wearer's ATK increases by 24% when using their skill. The light cone is a perfect fit for Welt, enhancing damage and debuffs contribution to the team.

Getting a 5-star Honkai Light Cone as a secondary option can be difficult as they are rare. So, it's important to have a viable 4-star substitute for Welt. Equipping Welt with the 4-star Light Cone "Good Night and Sleep Well" from The Nihility Path is highly advantageous. It increases the wearer's damage by 12 to 24% for up to three stacks for each targeted enemy's debuff, including damage over time. Since Welt excels at debuffing enemies, this Light Cone complements his abilities effectively.

Best Relics and Ornaments for Welt in Honkai: Star Rail

To optimize Welt's performance, selecting the right Honkai: Star Rail Relic and Ornament sets and prioritizing the appropriate stats is crucial. Custom-made for Welt, the "Wastelander of Banditry Desert" relic set offers several battle advantages.

If the relic is a 2-piece set, it boosts Imaginary Damage by 10%. Meanwhile, the 4-piece set provides additional benefits when attacking debuffed enemies. It also increases the wearer's CRIT Rate by 10% and their CRIT DMG by 20% against Imprisoned enemies.

Early on, "Thief of Shooting Meteor" is a viable alternative relic for Welt by equipping all four pieces. The 2-piece effect boosts Break Effect by 16%, while the 4-piece effect further increases the wearer's Break Effect by 16%. Moreover, when the wearer applies Weakness Break to an enemy, they regenerate 3 Energy.

When discussing Honkai: Star Rail ornaments for Welt, the priority should be "Pan-Galactic Commercial Enterprise." The wearer's Break Effect increases by 16%; if their SPD exceeds 145, it receives an additional 20% boost.

The secondary ornament should be "Pan-Galactic Commercial Enterprise Set." Equipping this set increases the wearer's Effect Hit Rate by 10% and their ATK by up to 25% based on the Effect Hit Rate, with a maximum cap of 25%.

Honkai: Star Rail is available now for PC and mobile devices. Playstation versions are in development.
