Enhancements may be applied up to three times consecutively, and using this Skill does not consume Skill Points and is not considered as using a Skill - but your Skill Points are consumed when you unleash an enhanced basic attack.

How to play Imbibitor Lunae in Honkai Star Rail

At first Imbibitor Lunae's kit might seem a little confusing, but there are two important notes that can help you understand his playstyle better:

1. Imbibitor Lunae only consumes Skill Points when you use an enhanced basic attack.
2. Squama Sacrosancta can be consumed instead of Skill Points to enhance Imbibitor Lunae's basic attack.

So Imbibitor Lunae can be a very Skill Point hungry DPS to have on your team, but if you use his Ultimate as often as possible to build Squama Sacrosancta to use instead, then he becomes more manageable. Even if you do end up using a lot of Skill Points, it can be worth it, as Imbibitor Lunae deals a huge amount of Imaginary damage to multiple enemies when his third enhanced basic attack, Fulgurant Leap, is used.

With all this in mind, your goal with Imbibitor Lunae is to activate and use the Fulgurant Leap enhanced basic as often as possible. This means using his Ultimate to gain Squama Sacrosancta when you can, and possibly equipping him with some Energy Recharge Relics, Planar Ornaments, or pairing with a teammate who can restore Energy (hi, Tingyun). Someone like Hanya, or Sparkle can also help alleviate his Skill Point needs.

Just be careful with who else you put in an Imbibitor Lunae team, as other Skill hungry characters could hurt your DPS potential a lot.

Best Imbibitor Lunae team comp in Honkai Star Rail

Imbibitor Lunae is a very powerful character all on his own, but you can enhance his damage capabilities even further by pairing him with the right team.

As most teams need a healer, Luocha is the best to pair with Imbibitor Lunae, as he can normal attack most of the time to heal the team and help build Skill Points for Imbibtor Lunae. Other healerd work very well - but Luocha is the ideal choice if you have him.

To cause even more damage with Imbibitor Lunae's attacks you'll also want to have at least one Harmony or Nihility character on your team. For Harmony, Yukong can help almost guarantee Crit Hits with her abilities, but you might want to swap her out for Tingyun instead to take advantage of Tingyun's Ultimate, which restores Energy to a character. Sparkle and Hanya can also help Imbibitor Lunae with his Skill Point requirements.

As for Nihility, to help implant an Imaginary weakness while lowering enemies' defence, you can put Silver Wolf in your team. This involves a bit of luck, but if most of your team are Imaginary attackers it's easier to implant a weakness. Pela is a fantastic alternate to Silver Wolf if you just want to lower enemies' defences.

Welt can also help increase Imbibtor Lunae's Crit Damage when he imprisons enemies if Imbibitor Lunae is using the 4-piece Wastelander of Banditry Desert Relic set.

Lastly, you can replace a character with a shielder if you need survivability over damage potential - Gepard and Fu Xuan are the best picks for this, but the Fire Trailblazer and March 7th can help as well, at the cost of some Skill Points.

Best Imbibitor Lunae Relics in Honkai Star Rail

We recommend the 2-piece Wastelander of Banditry Desert with the 2-piece Musketeer of Wild Wheat as the best Relics for Imbibitor Lunae. This increases both Imaginary damage and attack, which Imbibitor Lunae scales off of.

You can also use the 4-piece Wastelander of Banditry Desert if you have a team member who is debuffing enemies, as it will add 10% Crit Rate. You also get an extra 20% Crit Damage with this 4-piece if the enemies are also Imprisoned.

There are a few options for your Planar Ornaments depending on the focus of your Imbibitor Lunae build, but generally, we recommend Rutilant Arena as the best Planar Ornaments for Imbibitor Lunae. This increases Crit Rate by 8% and basic and skill damage by 20% when Imbibitor Lunae has a Crit Rate of over 70%.

If you need more Energy Regeneration instead, the Sprightly Vonwacq set can substitute. However, we don't recommend building Imbibitor Lunae for speed to take advantage of this set's action advance abilities - as you probably won't have enough Skill Points to make use of these extra turns.

Best Imbibitor Lunae Light Cone in Honkai Star Rail

As it's his signature, the 5-Star Brighter Than the Sun Light Cone is Imbibitor Lunae's best Light Cone in Honaki: Star Rail.

At Level 80 and Superimposition 1, Brighter Than the Sun increases Imbibitor Lunae's Crit Rate by 18%, and when he uses a basic attack, he gains one stack of Dragon's Call for two turns. Each stack of Dragon's Call increases Imbibitor Lunae's attack by 18% and Energy Regeneration Rate by 6%. Dragon's Call can be stacked up to two times.

For other 5-Star options, equipping On the Fall of an Aeon will increase Imbibitor Lunae's attack and damage when he inflicts Weakness Break, and Something Irreplaceable will also increase attack, and heals and increases his damage when he's attacked.

As for 4-Star free-to-play options, Under the Blue Sky is the best pick for its increase to attack and Crit Rate. Nowhere to Run is also a decent pick, as it increases attack while healing Imbibitor Lunae, and The Moles Welcome You can be equipped to increase attack with Mischievous stacks.

Best Imbibitor Lunae build in Honkai Star Rail

Keeping in mind that the best team comps in Star Rail are very situational, if you want to take advantage of his huge damage potential while keeping him alive, we have compiled what we think is currently the best Imbibitor Lunae build in Honkai Star Rail:

• Imbibitor Lunae Best Light Cone: 5-Star Brighter Than the Sun.
• Imbibitor Lunae Best Relics: 2-Piece Wastelander of Banditry Desert and 2-piece Musketeer of Wild Wheat.
• Imbibitor Lunae Best Planar Ornaments: Rutilant Arena.
• Imbibitor Lunae Best team comp: Hanya, Luocha, Yukong.

Tingyun can fill in for Yukong if you need more energy for Imbibitor Lunae instead of Crit Rate and Crit Damage.

It's entirely up to you whether you want to spend your Stellar Jade to Warp on Imbibitor Lunae's Banner, but he's one of the best DPS picks in the game if you don't mind working around Skill Point management.

Good luck levelling up Imbibitor Lunae in Honkai: Star Rail!
