March 7th (Hunt) is one of the most flexible characters in Honkai Star Rail as she can take on the role of a main DPS, relying on crit values, or a secondary damage dealer, relying on Break Effect.

Below, you can find the Relic choices that will benefit you while building March 7th (Hunt) in Honkai Star Rail.

Crit build

• Musketeer of Wild Wheat (4-pc): The wearer's Speed increases by 6% and Basic ATK DMG increases by 10%.

You can also use the Pioneer Relic Set, given you have the Worrisome, Blissful Lightcone (Topaz's signature choice), which is also an LC that March 7th (Hunt) can take advantage of due to her kit having a Follow-Up Attack.

• Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters (4-pc): Increases CriT Rate by 4%. The wearer deals 8%/ 12% increased Crit DMG to enemies with at least 2/3 debuffs. After the wearer inflicts a debuff on enemy targets, the aforementioned effects increase by 100%, lasting for 1 turn.

If you lack Relics for a full 4-piece set build, you can opt for a 2-pc ATK and a 2-pc SPD.

For the Planar Ornament set, target the following:

• Rutilent Arena: Increases the wearer's CritRate by 8%. When the wearer's current CRIT Rate reaches 70% or higher, the wearer's Basic ATK and Skill DMG increase by 20%.

March 7th has some extremely useful Light Cone choices that you can use on her Hunt form. Below you can find a list of all the LCs that she can benefit from:

• In the Night: March 7th's best Lightcone right now. Can provide Crit Rate and also Crit DMG based on your speed.
• Cruising in the Stellar Sea: Another exceptional choice, and the best part is that it is completely free. Provides Crit Rate and Attack.
• Baptism of Pure Thoughts: Provides Crit Damage and increases the damage dealt to enemies based on the number of debuffs.
• Worrisome, Blissful: Another powerful LC that provides Crit buffs. It is the best option if you are running March 7th (Hunt) in a dual DPS setup.
• Only Silence Remains: Easily the best 4-star choice if you do not have access to the other LCs and provide a massive Crit Rate buff.
• Sailing Towards a Second Life: This LC, which is Boothill's Signature, is great for the Break build. It gives you the Break Effect and SPD buffs, alongside the ability to ignore enemy defense.

There is also the leaked Poised to Bloom LC, which has yet to be officially announced by HoYoverse. This Light Cone will likely be March 7th's best-in-slot 4-star option in Honkai Start Rail

• Dr. Ratio, March, Pela/ Silver Wolf, Aventurine
• Yunli, March, Robin, Aventurine
