Honkai: Star Rail – Best Builds And Light Cones For March 7th

Here’s how to create the most optimal build for March 7th in Honkai: Star Rail!

Some of these characters also get released as playable units, just like Mydei during the second half of the Version 3.1 update. His kit goes quite well with his personality in the story, and here’s everything you need to know while building him.

Mydei Overview

	Rarity	Five-Star
	Path	Destruction
	Combat Type	Imaginary
	Overworld Rating	S Tier
	Memory of Chaos Rating	S+ Tier
	Pure Fiction Rating	A Tier
	Apocalyptic Shadow Rating	S Tier

Being a part of the strong Chrysos Heir organization in Amphoreus, Mydei fulfills his role as a main DPS, dealing his highest damage to enemies with Imaginary weakness. The unique part about him is that even if you’re doing manual battle, Mydei will still be on auto-battle for the entirety of your combat.

While this might not sound great on paper, it still feels satisfying to play since you can make Mydei a lot more efficient by building him correctly and putting him with the right team members. However, before you start upgrading his light cones and relics, you first need to understand his kit:

Mydei’s Kit, Explained

As you can see, Mydei is quite a self-sufficient unit to an extent. He can heal himself while even reviving himself up to three times without any downsides. He also gets a massive Crit Rate boost from his kit, but this does make it a little difficult to get his proper relic stats (more on this below).

Mydei’s Eidolons, Explained

Apart from the basic abilities in Mydei’s kit, you can get various Eidolons by pulling his duplicates to increase his damage massively. Here’s what each Eidolon does:

1. The Final Skill deals 30 percent more damage, and it also deals damage to all enemies instead of just three. The multiplier of damage for all the enemies on the field is the same as the main target’s multiplier.
2. Mydei ignores 15 percent of the enemy’s DEF during vendetta, and he can also gain up to 40 charge when he gets healed. The charge converts at a 40 percent healing rate.
3. Increased Skill and Basic ATK levels.
4. You get an additional 30 percent Crit DMG while restoring ten percent HP in vendetta when you get attacked by the enemies.
5. Increased Ultimate and Talent levels.
6. You start the battle in Vendetta state and can use the Final Skill with just 100 charge.

Best Builds For Mydei

While building Mydei, the main things you have to choose are the light cones, relics, and planar ornaments. Each light cone has a special passive, and you’d want to pick the one that suits Mydei. Similarly, you can have special bonuses with relics and planar ornaments when you have two or four pieces from the same set.

It’ll come as no surprise that Mydei’s best light cone is Flame of Blood, Blaze My Path, which is his signature. His best relics and planar ornaments are Scholar Lost in Erudition and Bone Collection’s Serene Demesne respectively. However, you have a bunch of other choices if you don’t have these available yet:

Best Mydei Light Cones

Flames of Blood, Blaze My Path	Mydei’s signature light cone gives him extra Max HP and incoming healing while also consuming his HP while using his Skill or Ultimate. This directly gives him extra charge based on your Refinement levels. Furthermore, his damage is increased while using these abilities. If the consumed HP from the light cone is more than 533, this damage boost is doubled.
The Unreachable Side	This light cone is the second-best choice for Mydei due to its Crit Rate, Max HP, and increased DMG on losing HP by any means. However, when this is equipped, over-critting on Mydei becomes a problem.
Flames Afar	Mydei normally consumes more than 25 percent of his HP with his abilities, which triggers the effect of this light cone, healing him while increasing his DMG for two turns. Though you can only trigger this once every three turns.
Ninja Record: Sound Hunt	This is a great F2P-friendly light cone that increases Mydei’s HP and Crit DMG upon any change in his HP.
Collapsing Sky	Finally, if you don’t have any other options, you can use this three-star light cone at maximum refinement to get a 40 percent DMG boost to Mydei’s Skill.

Best Mydei Relics

Scholar Lost in Erudition	This serves as the best relic set for Mydei’s build as it gives him a decent 8% Crit Rate while increasing his Skill and Ultimate DMG by 20 percent, which are both the main damage sources for Mydei. His Skill DMG can further increase by 25 percent after using his Ultimate. While using this set, you’d want his Final Skill to be used right after the Ultimate.
Longevous Disciple	If you don’t want to minmax Mydei’s kit by using the Ultimate at the right time for the above set, you can instead use this one to get an HP boost, with some Crit boost upon losing HP.
Wastelander of Banditry Desert	Finally, if you’re early in the game, you can use this set to increase Mydei’s DMG by a decent amount. However, you’ll have to use a debuffer and break the enemy’s Weakness with the Imaginary element to get the most from this.

Best Mydei Planar Ornaments

Bone Collection’s Serene Demesne	This serves as the best ornament set while building Mydei because it increases his HP while giving him a 28 percent Crit DMG boost, and you don’t have to do anything special for it.
Sigonia, the Unclaimed Desolation	Starting with a small four percent Crit Rate boost, this set can give Mydei up to 40 percent Crit DMG upon defeating ten enemies. It’s only good if you’re using him in Pure Fiction.
Rutilant Arena	Finally, if you’re in the early game, you can use this set to give Mydei a decent Crit Rate and Skill DMG boost.

Mydei Stat Priority

Mydei Trace Priority

After reading his kit explanation above, you can likely already tell that Mydei’s Skill is the highest upgrade priority as it has the multiplier for all three modes. You’d want to take this to at least level eight before focusing on any other ability. After the Skill, you can start upgrading Mydei’s Ultimate.

If you want to build Mydei efficiently, it’s still important to upgrade his Talent to at least level eight so that he can benefit from the HP gain when entering vendetta, but it’s not needed to go further. You can also completely ignore his Basic Attack as you’ll never use it.

Is Mydei Worth Pulling?

There’s no denying the fact that Mydei is one of the strongest DPS characters in Honkai: Star Rail during his release, but he’s also placed right before Castorice’s or Anaxa’s release, two of the most anticipated characters from Amphoreus. Still, in his current state, Mydei is worth pulling from a meta standpoint.

Though it’s also important to mention that HoYoverse tends to power-creep DPS characters quite fast, which means the next five-star Imaginary DPS might already be better than Mydei. Moreover, if you’re planning to go for his Eidolons, the second one is a good stopping point but you’d want his light cone before going for them.
