Honkai Star Rail Fugue build guide: Best Relic and Planar Ornament sets

The Relic and Planar Ornament sets play an important role when building a character, especially a 5-star unit. Here are the Relic and Planar Ornament sets you can farm for Fugue to unleash her maximum potential in Honkai Star Rail:

Relic sets

1. 4-piece Iron Cavalry Against the Scourge
2. 4-piece Thief of Shooting Meteor

Since Fugue’s abilities scale with Break Effect, both the 4-piece Iron Cavalry Against the Scourge and the Thief of Shooting Meteor Relic sets are her BiS. If you are looking for pure damage, the former is the best. The latter set offers a more balanced build.

If you have enough pieces, the 4-piece Watchmaker, Master of Dream Machinations set is also an excellent choice.

Planar Ornaments

As for Fugue’s Planar Ornaments, you can go for the usual ones to build characters who scale with BE:

1. Talia: Kingdon of Banditry
2. Forge of Kalpagni Lantern

Both of the abovementioned Ornament sets are excellent and can easily boost the wearer’s damage significantly. Since farming Ornaments has become quite easy, you can farm for either set and your Fugue will perform well in every situation. However, the latter is slightly better as it grants an additional SPD boost to the wearer — in this case, Fugue.

What are the best Light Cones for Fugue?

Since Fugue is a 5-star unit, it's a no-brainer that her BiS (Best in Slot) will be her signature Light Cone, Long Road Leads Home. The 5-star equipment will be available alongside this Foxian’s character banner until the ongoing update, version 2.7 ends.

If you are not pulling for Fugue’s signature Light Cone, you can use the following ones as adequate replacements:

1. Solitary Healing: 5-star
2. Resolution Shines As Pearls of Sweat: 4-star
3. Before the Tutorial Mission Starts: 4-star
