Honkai Star Rail Sushang build: Best Light Cones and Relics

Light Cones

Sushang’s abilities are designed to inflict massive Physical DMG on her opponent. Given how every Light Cone under the Hunt Path in Honkai Star Rail enhances the wearer's damage output, they will benefit her somehow.

With that said, 'In the Night' is her best 5-star pick due to its strong passive, which increases the wearer’s CRIT rate by 18%. For every 10 SPD exceeding 100, their Basic ATK and Skill damage is boosted by 6%, along with their Ultimate’s CRIT DMG by 8%. The stack goes up to six times in total.

Alternatively, the following Light Cones also provide excellent value to Sushang.

Light Cones	Rarity	Passives
Cruising in the Stellar Sea	5-star	Wearer’s CRIT rate increases by 8% and an additional 8% against enemies equal to or below half health. On defeating enemies, the wearer’s ATK bumps up by 20% for two turns.
Swordplay	4-star	Whenever the equipping character hits the same target, their DMG is increased by 8%. The effect can stack up to five times and wears off on target change.
River Flows in Spring	4-star	Wearer’s SPD amps up by 8% and DMG by 12% after stepping into battle. On receiving DMG, the effect disappears at the end of their next turn.

Relics

Sushang has access to a couple of Relic Sets in Honkai Star Rail with unique bonuses that will allow her to deal increased damage during combat. The unique 4-piece set to use is the Champion of Streetwise Boxing which boosts Physical DMG by 10%. Additionally, the wearer's ATK increases by 5% for every hit inflicted, stacking up to five times.

Another suitable Relic option is the Musketeer of Wild Wheat, which enhances the character's ATK by 12%, SPD by 6%, and Basic ATK DMG by 10%. Based on passive alone, the Physical DMG set brings more value to Sushang as she can generate the stacks quickly. Alternatively, the 2-Piece Champion of Streetwise Boxing and 2-Piece Musketeer of Wild Wheat should work for someone who has not found any usable piece.

Lastly, for Planar Ornaments, players should pick up the Celestial Differentiator due to the passive, which provides 16% CRIT DMG. It also grants a 60 CRIT rate for the first attack when the CRIT DMG exceeds 120% on the respective character. It is farmable from World 5 of the Honkai Star Rail's Simulated Universe.
