Building characters in Honkai: Star Rail is usually a fairly straightforward process, as there are almost always build options that cater directly to each character’s kit. Picking the right Relics and Light Cones for a character like Moze, for instance, is a simple prospect thanks to his kit taking advantage of a set of popular mechanics.

Here are the best 4-Star Light Cones in Honkai: Star Rail, Ranked!
Moze is all about follow-up attacks, and he applies enough debuffs that there are a few different build and Light Cone options that work well and a few that work the best. Let’s learn how to build Moze in this guide.
The Best Relic Sets For Moze
The core of any build in Honkai: Star Rail is the Relics you equip on a character and the stats they require on those Relics. Moze is a follow-up attack specialist who applies debuffs to his opponents to execute those follow-ups, meaning you’ll want Relics that improve one or both of those abilities and that provide a main DPS’s default desired stats.
|
Relic Set |
Desired Stats/Substats |
Description |
|---|---|---|
|
Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters |
Chest: Crit Rate/Crit Damage Boots: ATK% |
The two-piece 12% flat damage bonus and the four-piece Crit Rate and Crit damage bonuses with debuffs make this set a no-brainer for Moze. |
|
The Ashblazing Grand Duke |
The follow-up set, Grand Duke provides a flat 20% bonus to follow-up damage and a stacking ATK% bonus with each follow-up. The only thing holding it back is a lack of Critical stats. |
|
|
2-piece Ash Blazing + 2 piece Pioneer |
If you don’t have four optimal pieces of the above sets, you can settle for two-pieces each. Your damage will be less, but if your substats are better, it all comes out in the wash. |
Like his best Relics, Moze’s Planar Ornament selection is easy: if it improves follow-up attacks, you want it, and there’s a best-in-slot choice for those, as well.
|
Planar Ornament Set |
Desired Stats/Substats |
Description |
|---|---|---|
|
Duran, Dynasty of Running Wolves |
Sphere: Lightning Damage (ATK% if nothing else) Rope: ATK% |
The follow-up planar ornament set, with a maximum 25% bonus for follow-up attacks and critical damage. This set obviously gets better the higher your Crit Rate goes, so look for pieces with as high a Crit Rate stat as you can. |
|
Izumo Gensei and Takama Divine Realm |
A solid option if your team focuses more on debuffs, with a flat 12% ATK% buff and a 12% Crit Rate bonus if you have another Hunt unit on the team (Moze’s Path). |
|
|
Inert Salsotto |
Also worthwhile, Salsotto provides a flat 8% Crit Rate bonus, and you get a 15% Ultimate and follow-up attack buff if Moze’s Crit Rate is over 50%. |
Best Light Cones For Moze
There are several worthwhile Light Cones options for Moze, but the best of them outperform the rest by a wide margin.
|
Light Cone |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Worrisome, Blissful (Topaz Signature) |
Topaz’s signature Light Cone is bound to be one of the first to come to mind because, like her, it improves both personal and team follow-up attack damage. It provides a base 18% Crit Rate buff and base 30% follow-up damage buff, and applies the Team debuff, increasing the Crit damage dealt to that enemy by a base 12%. |
|
Cruising in the Stellar Sea |
The go-to free-to-play Hunt Light Cone increases Moze’s Crit Rate by 8% at base, plus an additional 8% base if they’re at 50% health or lower. The ATK% buff only applies if Moze can keep defeating enemies, which against bosses isn’t ideal, but the Crit bonuses are enough to put it on the list. |
|
Baptism of Pure Though (Dr. Ratio Signature) |
Between the flat Crit damage bonus, additional bonuses against rebuffed targets, and making follow-up attacks ignore at least 24% of an enemy’s Defense and granting a flat damage bonus after an Ultimate, there are few better single-target choices on the market. |
|
Swordplay |
If you’re lacking any of the above five-star options, Swordplay can provide a suitable, if less optimal, replacement, providing up to a 16% flat damage bonus, stacking up to five times, so long as you keep attacking a single target. Rated lower here because that bonus resets when Moze switches targets. |
Moze’s playstyle focuses on single-target damage, so he’s best on teams that either complement that specialty or cover for his weaknesses. With the right build, he is a worthwhile hypercarry or supplemental DPS to a five-star damage dealer.
