To Honkai Star Rail’s Pela, the rules of victory never change – and as the Intelligence Officer of the Silvermane Guards, she’s certainly familiar with rules. This fiercely intelligent young lady may look small and sweet, but she’s a frosty fighter who manages her tasks like clockwork, keeping an ever-vigilant eye on those she oversees. So now it’s time for a good old counterattack as we take a look at who exactly Pela is, diving into her attacks, eidolons, and best build.

Honkai Star Rail Pela
Who is Honkai Star Rail’s Pela?
Honkai Star Rail’s Pela is the meticulous Intelligence Officer of the Silvermane Guards. Don’t let her youthful appearance fool you. She’s undeniably brilliant, and can answer any problems with calm certainty – whether it’s manoeuvring troops, distributing supplies, or charting the terrain. However, a cursory glance at her phone case and a fleeting visit past the local magazine stand may reveal a few details about her surprising ‘hobby’ that she indulges in during her spare time. Don’t judge her. Fan fiction can be cool, okay?
Pela is a four-star ice wielder who treads the path of the Nihility. Her English voice actor is Xanthe Huynh, and her Japanese voice actor is Morohoshi Sumire.
What’s the best Honkai Star Rail Pela build?
Pela’s attacks dish out plenty of ice damage, but the debuffs she applies are where she really shines. Not only is she capable of freezing enemies, but her skill also applies weakness, which reduces the damage dealt by the enemy, and her ultimate lowers her target’s defence, allowing both Pela and the rest of her team to swoop in and finish them off. To sweeten the deal, her passive sees her gain additional energy when her attacks inflict debuffs on enemies.
Pela works well as a sub-DPS alongside another strong damage dealer that can make the most of the debuffs she inflicts. When building her, we recommend increasing her ice damage, attack, and energy restoration where possible.
Which light cone should I use for Honkai Star Rail’s Pela?
Good Night and Sleep Well is a four-star light cone designed around Pela’s kit, increasing the damage she deals to enemies inflicted with debuffs and DoT. If you don’t have this light cone, feel free to substitute it with something else that increases Pela’s attack – but make sure it aligns with the path of Nihility to enable its skill.
| Light cone | Effect | How to obtain |
| Good Night and Sleep Well | Increases Pela’s damage dealt to enemies with debuffs. For every debuff the target enemy has, Pela’s damage increases by 12%. This effect stacks up to three times, and also applies to DoT | Gacha |
Which relics should I use for Honkai Star Rail’s Pela?

| Relic | Effect | How to obtain |
| Hunter of Glacial Forest | Two equipped: Increases ice damage by 10% Four equipped: Increases Pela’s crit damage by 25% for two turns after she uses her ultimate |
