|
Before Dawn ★★★★★ Alternative 5-Star Option Jing Yuan's 5-Star Light Cone, granting the same Crit DMG as Argenti's signature Cone. Additionally, it offers a direct 18% DMG boost to his Skill and Ultimate, where a major portion of his damage originates. |
|
Night on the Milky Way ★★★★★ Alternative 5-Star Option Available in the Starlight shop, this 5-Star Light Cone provides extra ATK based on the number of enemies on the field. It also grants a DMG boost upon triggering Weakness Break, which is easily achievable with Argenti. |
|
|
Today Is Another Peaceful Day ★★★★ Noteworthy 4-Star Selection The best 4-star Light Cone for Argenti, locked behind the premium tier of the Battle Pass. After entering battle, increases DMG based on max Energy, with a boost of 0.20-0.40% per point of Energy, up to 160 Energy. (Nameless Honor reward) Ideal for Argenti due to his high energy, offering a maximum damage bonus. |

|
|
Data Bank ★★★ Noteworthy 3-Star Selection In early-game Argenti builds, any 3-star Light Cone fits decently, but "Data Bank" is considered the best option. It provides a straight 28-56% boost to Ultimate DMG, a staggering improvement for this crucial ability. |
Honkai Star Rail Argenti’s Best Relics
Champion of Streetwise Boxing 2-piece bonus: Raises Physical damage by 10 percent. 4-piece bonus: After being struck by an opponent, the wearer's attack is boosted by five percent for the entire battle, stackable up to five times. The best Relic set for Argenti is the complete four-piece Champion of Streetwise Boxing. This set is tailor-made to amplify his Physical damage-centric skillset and overall attack prowess, making it the top choice. Argenti excels in attacking multiple opponents simultaneously, so the ideal Relics for him are those that enhance his attack, Physical damage, critical rate, critical damage, or contribute to his damage-dealing capabilities. |
|
Musketeer of Wild Wheat 2-piece bonus: Raises attack by 12 percent. 4-piece bonus: The wearer's speed is increased by six percent, and basic attack damage is enhanced by 10 percent. If you opt for a different build, a viable choice is to combine a two-piece Champion of Streetwise Boxing set with a two-piece Musketeer of Wild Wheat set. This combination enhances both Physical damage and attack, providing a decent option. |
|
Inert Salsotto Within the Planar Ornaments set, Inert Salsotto is optimal for Argenti. It provides an extra 15% Ultimate DMG if his Crit Rate is over 50%. The follow-up part of the set is less useful for him. |
|
Firmament Frontline: Glamoth The Firmament Frontline Glamoth set proves to be an excellent choice for Argenti, as it provides both an increase in ATK and a damage boost when the specified SPD requirements are met. To optimize this set, it's essential to adjust Argenti's SPD using either SPD substats or by including an SPD buffer in your party, ensuring he can fully benefit from the damage boost. |

Honkai Star Rail Argenti’s Best Team Composition
To optimize Argenti's performance in combat, it's essential to consider the best team composition. Here are some factors to consider when building a team around Argenti:
Support Selection:
Argenti excels as a multi-target DPS character, benefiting significantly from support characters enhancing his attacks, Speed, and Energy Regeneration. Ideal support includes Bronya (Critical Damage boost), Tingyun (attack and Energy boost), and Asta (Speed boost). The top 4-star support for Argenti is Hanya, aiding in Skill Points recovery, Speed, and Attack boosts.
Debuff Strategies:
Debuff supports are valuable for Argenti teams. Pela is a good option, but Silver Wolf shines against elite enemies. Keep in mind that Silver Wolf is less impactful against weaker enemies without elites or bosses.
Healing and Shielding:
A healer or shield provider is crucial for Argenti teams. Huohuo or Luocha are excellent choices as Argenti works well with any HP support.
F2P Team (Free-to-Play)
For a free-to-play option, Tingyun supports Argenti's Energy and increases attack power. Pela provides debuffs, while Natasha serves as a healer or shield provider. Optionally, other Harmony supports can replace Tingyun, and debuff support can be Pela or a similar character. Natasha, Lynx, or March 7th can fulfill the healing or shielding role.
Argenti Hypercarry Team
This hypercarry Argenti team focuses on supporting Argenti, utilizing Bronya's skill to advance, boost attacks, and dispel debuffs. Huohuo ensures survival and Energy regeneration, enabling Argenti's frequent Ultimates. Hanya adds Physical damage, applies the Burden effect, and boosts Speed and Attack.
These team strategies ensure Argenti's optimal performance in various scenarios.
