She is an exceptional damage character who comes with the Honkai: Star Rail 2.0 update.

Best Build for Black Swan in Honkai: Star Rail 2.0 Update

​

Black Swan has various useful abilities in her kit, including the Loom of Fate's Caprice Talent. While mastering her, players must prioritize her Talent, followed by her Skill, Ultimate, and Basic attack.

​

Alongside that, she also comes with many Traces that offer a significant advantage to her unit. However, to master her properly before she sets into battle, gamers must know the best Relics and Stats that suit her.

​

Best Black Swan Relics

​

• Prisoner in Deep Confinement: The Prisoner is the best Relic for most DoT characters as it gives an ATK increase buff by 12% alongside a DEF ignore. If unavailable, one can also pair Relics like the Eagle of Twilight Line, which offers increased Wind DMG by 10%, and Musketeer of the Wild Wheat Relic, which increases ATK power by 12%.
• Pan-Galactic Commercial Enterprise: Pan-Galactic is also an excellent choice as it comes with an exceptional ATK scaling of 25% of the current Effect Hit Rate. Additionally, the wearer's Effect Hit Rate is increased by 10%.

It is recommended for gamers to make Black Swan as fast as possible using Speed buffs available in the game. For end-game content, the DoT-preferring character can be a force to be reckoned with using 120+ Speed statistics.

Light Cones

​Few of the best Light Cones to pick for Black Swan:

​

• Reforged Remembrance (Signature): Offers Effect Hit Rate buff by 40%. Stacks increase the wearer's ATK percentage by 5. Enables the DoT dealt to ignore 7.2% of the target's DEF. Her Signature light cone is possibly the best choice for beginners starting with her.
• Incessant Raint: Gain 24% Effect Hit Rate. CRIT Rate +12% increasing chance after dealing DMG to enemy with 3 or more debuffs. 100% chance of putting Aether Code on a target after the wearer uses their Basic, Skill, or Ultimate.
• Eyes of Prey: Increases the wearer's Effect Hit Rate by 20%. Increases DoT by 24%. (Beginner and free-to-play friendly)
• Before the Tutorial Mission Starts Light Cone: Increases the wearer's Effect Hit Rate by 20% alongside regenerating 4 energy when attacking Defense-reduced enemies.

Team Composition

​

As a DoT character, Black Swan needs to be placed with a unit that serves her the best when taking fights. Here is a composition one can use:

​

• Asta (Support)
• Black Swan (Main DPS)
• Sampo (Sub DPS)
• Lynx (Sustain)
