We meet Honkai Star Rail’s Misha, a bellhop working at The Reverie Hotel on the planet of Penacony, as soon as the story kicks off. This four-star follows the path of the Destruction and can pack a punch using the ice element in his kit, and whatever weapons he finds on his cart. Here’s the best Misha build including which light cone, relics, and teammates are best for him.
If you want to keep up with all the adventures of the Astral Express, here are the new Honkai Star Rail codes, the current Honkai Star Rail banner, and what to expect from the next Honkai Star Rail update.
Here’s everything in our Honkai Star Rail’s Misha build guide:
What’s the best Honkai Star Rail Misha build?
Misha is a four-star character who wields the ice element and follows the path of the Destruction.
Best light cone | On the Fall of an Aeon |
Light cone substitutes | Indelible Promise, Under the Blue Sky |
Best relic set | Hunter of Glacial Forest |
Planar ornaments | Firmament Frontline Glamoth |
Main stats | Body – Crit rate/damage Feet – Attack Link rope – Attack Planar sphere – Ice damage bonus |
Sub stats | Attack, crit rate, crit damage, speed |
Misha is a low-cost DPS with a heavy damage focus on his ultimate. If you have a few of his eidolons, he becomes a viable ice damage-dealing unit that you can safely use at any point in the game.

The best light cone you can give him is On the Fall of an Aeon, with a full four-piece set of Hunter of Glacial Forest relics, and Inert Salsotto or Firmament Frontline Glamoth planar ornaments.
What are the best light cones for Misha?
As a DPS on the Destruction path, there are a few options to equip Misha with. If you happen to have Clara’s signature light cone, Something Irreplaceable or can purchase On the Fall of an Aeon, these are your best bets. If not, there are some strong four-star cones to give him.

What are the best relics for Misha?
Thankfully for Misha, there are plenty of good options for relics to equip him with, especially the two-piece planar ornament sets. Depending on which stat you’re low on – attack, crit rate, or crit damage – there’s a two-piece to help boost it.
If you run Misha in a team with a debuffer or two, you can safely use a set of Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters to increase his crit rate, crit damage, and overall damage, too.
