Best Fire Trailblazer Build & Team Comp – Honkai: Star Rail

Turn up the heat in the Astral Express with this explosive build.

The Fire Trailblazer in Honkai: Star Rail truly begins to show the capabilities of the MC when players use the right build.

Fleshing out your team with powerful characters is one of the most important aspects of HSR. Each character has powerful skills, but when players unlock Eidolons for them, they can truly ascend to new heights.

With most characters you need to test your luck to obtain their most powerful form, but with the Trailblazer (Fire), players can obtain all the right tools by simply playing the story.

Best Trailblazer (Fire) Light Cones & Relics

The best Fire Trailblazer Light Cone is the Texture of Memories because it gives the character a shield when attacked and boosts their defenses.

But before you start to build the Trailblazer (Fire), you’ll need to unlock them through the main story missions.

Texture of MemoriesTexture of MemoriesThe Preservation★★★★★Increases the wearer's Effect RES by 8/10/12/14/16%. If the wearer is attacked and has no Shield, they gain a Shield equal to 16/20/24/28/32% of their Max HP for 2 turn(s). This effect can only be triggered once every 3 turn(s). If the wearer has a Shield when attacked, the DMG they receive decreases by 12/15/18/21/24%.

When it comes to Light Cones, the best option is something that can improve the Trailblazer’s defensive nature. The higher your DEF stat, then the more powerful your shields.

The Trailblazer (Fire) will gain Magma Will stacks with every hit they tank. You need more than four stacks of Magma Will to truly begin to use this characters best abilities.

This is why a Light Cone that raises your defense is invaluable in a Tank like the Fire Trailblazer.

“A Moment of Victory” is a great Light Cone because it increases your defenses and the chance that enemies will target you.

Increases chance to be attacked by enemies. When the wearer is attacked, increases DEF by an extra 24%/30%/36%/42%/48% until the end of the wearer's turn.

The Trailblazer (Fire) is already one of the most powerful characters in the Honkai Star Rail Tier List, but with the right Light Cone, they can turn even deadlier.

The “Day One of My New Life” Light Cone is also a good option because it allows you to protect your allies more effectively.

For players that aren’t looking to spend money on warps, the Amber Light Cone is a fantastic option that increases the wearer’s overall DEF and provides an added boost when they are low on health.

If you don’t have any of these then there are plenty of ways to of obtaining these Light Cones in-game without needing to spend money.

Trailblazer (Fire) Relic Guide

The best Relic to use with the Fire Trailblazer is the Knight of Purity Palace Set and the Belebog of the Architects Set.

These Relics will help improve the DEF stat and allow the Trailblazer to tank a lot more damage for the team. This will allow your Main DPS to stay relatively safe and focus on maximizing their attack.
