Getting to know Castorice HSR

Castorice is 5 star character with the Quantum and Path Remembrance types released in Honkai: Star Rail version 3.2. He hails from Aidonia, a snowy land that worships death—a place that now slumbers in a sweet sleep.

Referred to as the “Princess of the River of Souls” and the “Chrysos Heir”, she is a mysterious figure who seeks the “Coreflame of Death”. Her duty is to guard the lamentations of the souls of the world and accept her lonely destiny.

As a Quantum character, he should have unique mechanics that involve breaking shields or disrupting enemy turns. While Path Remembrance usually focuses on freezing, delaying actions, or manipulating memories—much like Silver Wolf but with a more mystical twist.

Build Recommendations

So, in order for Castorice to delete enemies in an instant, you have to pay attention to the build that is suitable for her.

Light Cones

For Light Cone, you can use Farewells More Beautiful. This Light Cone will add HP% and CRIT DMG, perfect for Castorice who needs survivability and damage. The higher the HP, the greater the damage!

Relic & Ornament Set

• Poet of Mourning Collapse (4pc) → Increase Quantum DMG and CRIT Rate after using Skill.
• Bone Collection's Serene Demesne (2pc) → Add HP%, make Castorice even tankier!

Main Stats Priority

• Body: CRIT DMG (to make ultimate & skill damage explode!)
• Feet: HP% (survivability + damage scaling)
• Sphere: HP% or Quantum DMG (it depends on whether you want to be more tanky or more DPS)
• Rope: HP% (so it's thicker & damage scaling is okay)

Sub Stats Priority

• HP% ★★★ (Mandatory! For optimal damage & tankiness)
• CRIT Rate ★★★ (To make CRIT DMG proc more often)
• CRIT DMG ★★ (Additional for even crazier damage)
• Flat HP ★ (Small bonus, but still useful).

Team Recommendations

If you're looking for a F2P-friendly team for Castorice in Honkai: Star Rail, try the Castorice + Trailblazers (Ice) + Pela + Lynx! Trailblazer (Ice), especially those who are E1 and above, are the best partners for Castorice because they can provide CRIT DMG, True DMG, and turn advance buffs, which make Castorice's damage even crazier!

Pela can be a reliable debuffer to reduce enemy DEF, while Lynx maintain sustain with heal and cleanse. This team is not only strong, but also easy to build for those of you who don't have many characters 5. So, if you want to maximize Castorice's damage without the need for heavy gacha, this team is the solution!

Castorice HSR really makes games Honkai: Star Rail more exciting! Can't wait to try the build and team comp above? Don't forget to experiment yourself so that it fits your playstyle better. If you succeed in OP, don't be stingy in sharing tips in the comments column!
