Five mistakes that all players should avoid when playing Aglaea in Honkai Star Rail

1) Focus on accumulating CRIT Rate instead of DMG

While building Aglaea in Honkai Star Rail, make sure to focus on accumulating CRIT Rate instead of DMG. This will help you land crit-hits more often, boosting this Remembrance character’s outgoing damage.

While you also need CRIT DMG to deal an absurd amount of damage with every hit, Aglaea can get the abovementioned stats from a couple of other sources such as her Relic set. Hence, make sure you have at least a 90-100% CRIT Rate when your build is complete.

2) Understand how Garmentmaker works

Since Remembrance and memosprites are quite new and each functions differently, players may not know how Garmentmaker works. Before playing with this unit, we recommend taking a look at Aglaea’s abilities in Honkai Star Rail. If you don’t have the character, Data Bank or the Aptitude Showcase are great alternatives.

Aptitude Showcase is better as you get to look at how Aglaea’s abilities work and use her to fight against various enemies which will help you easily understand the character’s kit.

3) Building and using the correct team composition

Unlike some characters, Aglaea scales with CRIT stats. This means she can be placed in team compositions that feature units with identical characteristics. Hence, when building a team with this Remembrance unit as the primary DPS, make sure to pair her with characters that have good synergy.

4) Leveling up the right Traces/abilities first

Since you need a considerable amount of Trace level-up material to upgrade Aglaea’s abilities in Honkai Star Rail, the best and most efficient option is to upgrade the ones she needs/uses the most while fighting. This way you won’t waste any of the level-up materials and use the character even when your build is not fully finished.

As you need to spend Trailblaze Power to farm the Trace level-up materials, it's a wise decision to not waste this resource.

5) Using the right Relic and Planar Ornament set combos

As most players know, the Relic/Planar Ornament sets are a character’s identity in Honkai Star Rail. Since you need a good set of these equipment to make sure their effects complement Aglaea’s abilities, finding the right one is extremely crucial.

If you are new to this space odyssey or simply wondering about what Relic and Planar Ornament set you should farm, you can check out our Aglaea build guide.
