Back to All Characters
Sushang is a 4-star character inHonkai: Star Railthat follows the Hunt path andone of the returning charactersfromHonkai Impact 3rd. She is highly sought after by fans of this universe. Despitebeing a 4-star character, Sushang excels in boss battles due to her high scaling skill values and powerful follow-up attacks.

This becomes even more pronounced when players focus on effectively building her. Fortunately, Sushang has access to numerous great light cone options inHonkai: Star Rail, which can be obtained through gacha or as free-to-play options, allowing her to easily maximize her potential. Typically, the hunt light cones showcase a high ATK value to help with their DPS potential.
5Only Silence Remains
Only Silence Remains is a 4-star light cone that can be obtained through gacha and is highly effective on Sushang, particularly in boss fights where additional mobs are not commonly summoned. It not only unconditionally increases Sushang’s ATK, but also boosts her Crit Rate if certain conditions are met, allowing her to land more critical hits. If players are planning on equipping her with theInert Salsatto Planar Ornament Set,this light cone also makes it easier to fulfill its condition, although there are multiple other great relic options available for her as well.
4Swordplay
Swordplay shares many similarities with Only Silence Remains. Both are 4-star light cones obtainable through gacha and have the same base stat values. They are also both highly suitable for boss battles. However, Swordplay, featuring Sushang in its artwork, excels in every boss fight regardless of the number of summoned mobs. To maximize the damage dealt by Sushang, it is important to focus on a single target. While Swordplay may not be ideal for battles where the enemy has crowd control abilities like taunt, it is an excellent 4-star light cone option for players who do not have access to any 5-star options.
3Cruising in the Stellar Sea

Cruising in the Stellar Sea is a 5-star light cone that is actually available as a completely free-to-play option. Players can easily obtain and fully enhance it through the Herta’s Store,using Herta Bondsobtained from clearing the Simulated Universe. The Hunt light cone option in the store is the most viable choice, allowing players to redeem it without hesitation. This light cone not only increases Sushang’s crit rate exceptionally, especially when the enemy is below half HP, but also boosts her ATK for 3 turns after defeating an enemy. This makes it a versatile option for various types of battles where the previous two 4-star light cones may not excel.
2Sleep Like the Dead
Sleep Like the Dead is a 5-star light cone option available in the standard banner. It shares the same stats as Cruising in the Stellar Sea, but its main focus is increasing the wearer’s Crit DMG while also providing consistent crits by boosting Crit Rate if no crits have been landed. With an easily fulfillable condition and a powerful bonus effect, Sushang’s damage output will be significantly enhanced regardless of the content. However, it is worth noting that the F2P option is not far behind in terms of capabilities. Therefore, consider use this weapon on Sushang only if players haveobtained it through their gachapulls. It is not advisable to specifically aim for it by purchasing it from the store using Undying Embers, as there are other strong 5-star gacha weapon options for different paths that may prove more valuable in comparison.
1In The Night

In The Night is commonly known asSeele’s signature light cone, but it is also a suitable option for Sushang in situations where players prefer to use Sushang due to enemy weaknesses. It not only significantly boosts the wearer’s crit rate but also provides an additional damage buff based on the type of attack used. While it is worth noting that Seele has a higher base Speed value than Sushang, as a Hunt character, Sushang still possesses a significantly high Speed value. This value can be further enhanced by equipping her with appropriate relics or utilizing speedbuffs from support team memberslike Asta’s Ultimate. Consequently, it is possible for Sushang to stack this weapon and reach its maximum value, allowing her to easily achieve a speed of 160. This not only enables her to potentially land additional hits in the same turn but also ensures consistent high-damage attacks regardless of the battle type or attack used.
Honkai: Star Railis now available on Android, iOS, and PC. A PlayStation version is in development.
