UPDATE 11/12/2024: We have updated this page with some additional information about Acheron's kit, and have added links to our Acheron build and materials pages to help you with building the character.
Acheron's kit in Honkai: Star Rail is like no other. The Galaxy Ranger’s moveset features the most moving pieces yet and takes a bit to wrap your head around – and a bit of party planning to get the most out of it. The rewards are worth the trouble, though. Acheron’s kit is mighty indeed.

Acheron’s kit is unique among Honkai Star Rail characters in that she has no energy. The only way to use her ultimate – which you’ll want to use often, as it’s exceptionally powerful – is to obtain stacks of Slashed Dream, which accumulates as Acheron attacks foes. She might be a Nihility character, but Acheron functions more like a Destruction fighter, dealing extensive damage to her target and nearby enemies and providing almost no debuff support.
Her kit’s a little more complex than usual, thanks to her multifunctional ultimate and the fact that you’ll want to wait before firing it off, but we’ve broken down how it all works below.
Acheron deals lighting damage equal to 50/110 percent of her attack to a single target.
Acheron deals lighting damage equal to 80/160 percent of her attack to the target foe and lighting damage equal to 30/60 percent of her attack to adjacent foes. Octobolt Blast grants Acheron one stack of Slashed Dream and inflicts one Crimson Knot on the target foe.
This can only be used once Acheron obtains nine stacks of Slashed Dream. Acheron unleashes three Rainblade strikes and one Stygian Resurge slash.
Rainblade deals lightning damage equal to 14/24 percent of Acheron’s attack to a single enemy, and each strike removes up to three stacks of Crimson Knot from the target foe. Each stack of Crimson Knot removed deals lighting damage equal to nine perent of Acheron’s attack to all foes. Every Crimson Knot removed increases that damage multiplier, up to 36/60 percent.
The ultimate’s final strike is Stygian Resurge, which deals lightning damage to all enemies equal to 72/120 percent of Acheron’s attack. It also removes all Crimson Knots. That’s a lot to take in, but the short version is that you really want to make sure enemies have Crimson Knots to get the most out of Acheron’s ultimate. Having Ruan Mei’s extra All Type Res Pen helps too.
Upon activating Acheron’s ultimate, all enemies have their All Type Resistance Penetration reduced by 10/20 percent until the ultimate ends. Acheron’s ultimate reduces toughness regardless of enemy weakness type. That’s the basic bit, but the most important part that’s going to help you get the most out of Acheron’s ultimate is this.
When any ally inflicts debuffs on foes, Acheron gets one Slashed Dream and inflicts one Crimson Knot on foes. This happens once each time an ally inflicts a debuff and seems to exclude damage-over-time debuffs. Break effects, the initial application of a DOT effect, and stat reductions would all count, though.
Acheron attacks an enemy and, when battle begins, gains a stack of Quadrivalent Ascendance. That stack deals lightning damage equal to 200 percent of Acheron’s attack to all foes and reduces enemy toughness regardless of their weakness type. Quadrivalent Ascendance also gives Acheron one Slashed Dream and applies one Crimson Knot to a random foe after she uses her ultimate.
Acheron’s technique will instantly defeat all non-boss, non-elite foes when used.
Acheron’s bonus Traces make it easier to boost her damage multipliers in Honkai Star Rail, so unlock them as soon as you can.
Acheron’s ultimate is where pretty much all of her damage comes from in Honkai Star Rail, so that should be your main focus. The second most important Trace depends on what you want to get from Acheron.
Leveling her talent increases her ultimate’s resistance penetration, which means that ability deals more damage. However, you’ll want to get at least something from her skill as well. You’ll be using it a fair bit to get Slashed Dream stacks, and even though the damage scaling isn’t spectacular, it’s not bad either.
The short version of that is:
