Best Relic sets for Rappa in Honkai Star Rail

Since Rappa is a DPS character in Honkai Star Rail and specializes in dealing Break Effect damage, you need to give her a Relic set that synergizes well with her abilities.

Here are two Relic sets that pair well with Rappa:

• 4-piece Iron Cavalry Against the Scourge
• 4-piece Thief of Shooting Meteor

The 4-piece Iron Cavalry Against the Scourge set grants Rappa a decent amount of Break Effect stats while also boosting her BE and Super BE (Break Effect) damage. Additionally, it helps the Galaxy Ranger neglect a portion of the opponents’ DEF while hitting them.

The 4-piece Thief of Shooting Meteor set is good for Rappa as most of her abilities scale with the Break Effect stat. Since both the 2- and 3-piece set effect grants a considerable amount of BE to the character, it boosts her outgoing damage.

This set is also good on Rappa because she can regenerate ultimate Energy whenever she inflicts the Weakness Break status effect.

• After the Charmony Fall
• Make the World Clamor
