Honkai Star Rail Moze Guide: Team Composition

Feixiao – Main DPS: Feixiao shines as a Main DPS, using her Skill to increase her ATK for 3 turns, greatly enhancing her damage output. Her Flying Aureus mechanic benefits from her teammates’ attacks—every 2 attacks grant Feixiao 1 stack. Once 6 stacks are reached, Feixiao can trigger her Ultimate, which provides a massive damage boost. The stack can go up to 12 points for even greater damage. Additionally, her Ultimate type depends on whether the enemy is in a Weakness Break state, adding tactical flexibility.

Moze – Sub DPS: Honkai Star Rail Moze is a Sub DPS focused on her Prey mechanic, marking enemies for follow-up attacks by allies. Whenever an enemy is marked as Prey, Moze triggers a follow-up attack whenever allies deal damage to the marked enemy, increasing total damage. However, once the Prey target is defeated, Honkai Star Rail Moze enters a downtime period, during which she cannot perform follow-up attacks. This requires coordination with other damage dealers, particularly those who can consistently target the marked enemy, ensuring optimal damage output.

Sparkle – Support: Sparkle is an essential Support character who helps manage skill points for her allies. She recovers skill points and increases their maximum capacity, allowing allies to use their skills more often. Her Ultimate requires allies to have used some skill points, ensuring that it doesn’t exceed the team’s capacity. Additionally, Sparkle’s Skill boosts allies’ CRIT DMG and advances their actions. By enhancing offensive power and providing utility, Sparkle plays a crucial role in making your team more effective both offensively and defensively.

Gallagher – Healer: Gallagher serves as a Healer, focused on restoring HP while boosting the team’s damage. His Ultimate enhances Break DMG, improving your team’s efficiency in dealing with enemy defenses. Gallagher’s healing ability ensures allies stay alive longer, especially in tougher battles. His Ultimate also enhances his next Basic Attack and reduces the enemy’s attack power, adding a valuable debuff. Gallagher’s combination of healing, damage amplification, and enemy debuffing makes him an invaluable support character for any team.
