Best Honkai Star Rail characters for the Forge of the Kalpagni Lantern Planar Ornament set

There are only a couple of characters that can utilize the unique set effect of the Forge of the Kalpagni Lantern Planar Ornament since there are not many characters in this title whose abilities scale with the Break Effect. Since Firefly is releasing alongside the version 2.3 patch, wields the Fire element, and her abilities scale with Break Effect, this set is her BiS (Best in Slot) option. Apart from this Ornament set, there are not many that harmonize well with Firefly.

Gallagher is another character who can benefit from this set. Since he can inflict the Besotted effect on the opponents with his Ultimate ability which boosts the Break damage dealt on the opponents inflicted by the aforementioned effect. Hence, this Planar Ornament set will be excellent for Gallagher when paired with characters such as Boothill, and Firefly.

As of this writing, Firefly and Gallagher are the only characters that can benefit from the Forge of the Kalpagni Lantern set.
