ACHERON GUIDE: INCREDIBLE DPS! BUT EXPENSIVE. Best Builds & Gameplay Showcase in Honkai: Star Rail 

PLEASE READ! UPDATED WITH RELEVANT COMMENTS --- THIS GUIDE WAS MADE USING THE CREATOR SERVER, which means there's a possibility of slight changes on her full release LET ME KNOW IN THE COMMENTS IF ANYTHING IS NOT UP TO DATE! i will include them here :) HOPE YOU ENJOY, ACHERON IS SICK! - FTB with TREND is a great F2P option - SPEED boots great if NO Sparkle/Bronya OR she gains more stacks herself (SIG LC / E2) - ATK ORB is GOOD ALTERNATIVE (because A6 gives 90% dmg bonus) - WELT SUSTAIN is fine teammate option - GLASS CANNON COMP (no sustain) is good IF you play it properly. dont let the enemies get turns :) - PEARLS OF SWEAT is GREAT LC for ANY nihility teammate; i placed emphasis on PELA because 4 STAR and she has built in DEF REDUCTION

good video mr xlice have a nice trip!!

17:55 Acheron inflicted all-type res down when you use her ult so the mentioned effect will be active

1 thing I need to mention that Fire MC with Trend of the Universal Market LC will become one of the best teammate for Acheron as Fire MC's taunt also counted as debuff. Also, if there are 5 enemies on the field and all of them getting taunted by fire MC, each of them will be getting the burn debuff by hitting Fire MC. It will be total of 1 (taunt) + 5 enemies = 6 charges for Acheron in a single cycle. Correct me if Im wrong, thank you @Xlice

Awesome guide! Very detailed and comprehensive. You covered all the subjects. I can tell you put a lot of work into making this guide.

This is very VERY insightful, thank you. Adding some questions to ask for players to consider is really helpful! Really tackled most of the topic i am looking for

By far and away the best guide out there. Thank you for being literally the only CC I've seen show her trace information on-screen so that we can read them and get a better understanding without having to rewatch the video 90 times :).

I enjoy watching this video especially the editing quality and details in each section .. very helpful thanks

Insanely well made guide as always, really appreciate the work you´re putting into these , definitely the go-to person when it comes to high quality guides c:

BY FAR THE BEST ACHERON GUIDE love you xlice this was an awesome video keep it up

Guinaifen is actually able to implant debuffs without utilizing skillpoints. Her debuff can hit on her basics and she can carry Resolution Shines Like Pearls of Sweat PLUS her debuff synergizes with fire units, if another fire nihility ever comes out or if someone has E2.

Thanks for the guide, have a good vacation you deserve it!

Amazing guide! Great work, and have a wonderful vacation XSlice!

Thanks for making this guide! It was well organized, with clear detailed explanations, and top notch editing as always 👏 Also your release timing was Perfect! Have a good vacation, you deserve it! Also, Acheron can definitely be the center of my world 🤩

FTB with Trend is a highly valuable option for a more aggressive Preservation synergy. Not only can they use Trend LC, The Fire Break counts as a DoT whilst Gepards wouldn't, and the application of Taunt is also counted as a debuff, further giving Acheron stacks of Slashed Dream. I know FTB is chronically over looked cause they're free and everyone has the character, but I very strongly believe FTB will be the best F2P support that everyone has access to.

amazing and very complete guide !! thank you Xlice !!

Not the first ive seen, but by far the most comprehensive and useful Acheron guide - amazing work as always. Hope you have a nice break!

Great Video mr xlice, i prolly gonna rewatch this once she is out. Ty for all the info and analysis ❤

I miss him already 😭 hf on vacation

This was honestly a very good guide video. Keep up the great work man.

Best guide I’ve seen, so detailed and insightful, thank you!

Thanks for the guide Mr Xlice

Thank you for this interesting and informative video, it will help a lot!

Great guide Mr pp as always

This has been hands down the best video for Acheron! Perfectly breaks down everything I was wondering and looking for.

Awesome guide! Thanks!

This is a very well put together guide. Thank you Mr Xlice, I am a very happy frog

Wow great guide. I’m glad you got into the server because I haven’t really watched your content before easy sub.

Guide is HUGE, and I really want to build her so I’m going for it, unironically thanks a ton for the guide since I was gonna go in a different direction than what you said probably 😅

Thank you for your hard work Xlice 🙏

Thx bro for your opinion , waiting for the detailed guide 😊

A small point for Sustainers, while similar to Gallagher as their solo sustain capiabilities are not very strong, Fire Main Character is also an option, they benefit from the Effect hit Rate as they also can apply a debuff every turn (Taunt) while also forcing the enemies to hit them, causing burns to battery Acheron super fast, which she'll need because as I said, Fire MC is not very good at solo-sustain.

Excellent guide. Thx!

Great guide! Have a nice trip.

Thanks so much for the vid!

awesome guide ty so much!!

Hands down the best guide for Acheron thus far. Thank you very much for the content Mr Xlice.

needed this thank you my goat 🙏

for my sustain unit I plan on using Fire MC with Trends LC as the MC's E Taunt counts as a debuff and Trends inflicts a debuff per stack which has really good synergy with Acheron, going to look into a Aventurine as well (also future healing Nihility unit on the way to replace all options for sustain~)

Poggers new Xlice video while he's on vacation.

I don't think it was mentioned but the fire mc taunt skill is considered a debuff too, with universal trend it works really well so that's something to consider too.

Great guide! Though I do disagree with Atk Boots, particularly if you either have E2 or E0S1 - or both. 134+ speed makes her able to spam her skill and ultimate so consistently that teammate variety increases by a lot. The rate at which she'll be able to use her ultimate vs a little extra attack is a world of difference, as she doesn't gain energy from outside means like Tingyun/Huohuo or even just getting hit. Getting 2 stacks per turn (or 3 if E2S1) is massive for her rotations, and doing that more often seems to be a lot better than dealing 10% more damage and taking a little longer to do so.

Nice info 😮

Good vid as always mr pp !

Good news for F2P: Good Night and Sleep Well LC is on the Acheron LC banner as a 4star. Might be worth a few pulls on banner, if cant go fully into Acheron LC. (I have S4 GNSW, so it's my chance to max it out)

Good content my guy

This video convinced me not only get acheron but go for her E2 as well. her kit is actually so insane and you did a great job displaying that! Here is to E2 Acheron!!

Thanks for the guide, Mr pp. Hope you are nicely wrapping things up and preparing to have some well deserved trip. And see you in May, Mr pp. (And oh boy, Mr Coap... You're such a GIGACHAD. That's all I'm gonna say.)

Nice one mr xlice

this video is super clean

Thanks a tonnnn

I freaking love Xlays' guides

And this is why I wait for your videos before I start fully building units thanks dude Also I noticed for harmony characters I didn’t see ruan Mei I figured she would be good ?

Get the bag Xlice!

helpful and easy guide THANKSSSSS

Just wanted to come out here and say that I’m so glad you are still making star rail videos!! I totally understand why you chose to focus on genshin and I respect that completely. But ngl, I love your guides on star rail more than anyone else’s, all the love!!

Once again just like Brax another person being honest and truthful about the light cone difference thank you xlice

The goat of guides 🙏

This is really good guide. Easy to digest.

Finally! I’ve been waiting for this since Xlice said he was part of the creator server. I love how exhaustive his videos are.

24:46 gui can inflict burn with basic attacks so she can easily be sp positive. you can even play her with full energy recharge to make her apply even more debuffs because most of the damage is coming from acheron

I've already farmed her talents, ascend and relics for her😊😊😊. I prefarmed before the livestream

Sustain Welt, paired with Pela and either Bronya or Sparkle, can create a formidable synergy within an E0 Acheron team, especially when wielded with expertise. Sustain Welt's ability to provide consistent healing complements Pela's defensive prowess, allowing for a resilient frontline capable of withstanding enemy assaults. Additionally, the combination of Bronya or Sparkle adds versatility to the team composition. Bronya's offensive capabilities can help to control the battlefield and apply pressure to opponents, while Sparkle's utility brings crowd control and support to the team. To maximize the effectiveness of Sustain Welt in an HSR setting, it's crucial to understand its mechanics thoroughly. Proper positioning and timing of its abilities are key to maintaining sustained healing throughout the match. Coordinating with teammates to capitalize on healing opportunities while mitigating damage is essential for success. Overall, with strategic coordination and a deep understanding of each hero's strengths and weaknesses, a Sustain Welt, Pela, and Bronya or Sparkle composition can form a resilient and versatile E0 Acheron team capable of dominating the battlefield. But at the end of the day its just another option and is completely up to you.

For Trend of the Universal Market, it allows your Preservation character welcome effect hit rate sub stats (at least 50%) and run Belobog Planar ornament to catch up to the missing Def% rolls. I have a shielding 4 piece with Belobog March 7th for cheesing Golden Gears. Can interchange it with Gepard for Acheron support. 😁

Thanks for the video, and have a nice trip. Also I'm wondering, since Acheron's E6 makes all of he damage be considered Ult damage, would that mean her basic and skill can benefit from the SU blessings that buff Ult damage like the Erudition path? If so that could get pretty juiced

Professor Mr gentleman Xlice

The way she can heal up with Galagher's Ult debuff is great ^_^ definitely pairing them up

Finally its here

Hey Xlice! Great guide Quick question on the SPD boots, particularly for E6 since you do a decent amount of damage with E do you believe it's still an ATK boot angle over SPD?

animation cool, i pull regret getting dan heng tho and hope there is a good f2p light cone for her with this patch that they might be holding onto rn

This team comp breakdown was great! I have: E6 G lady (80% built) E0 black swan unbuilt E2 pela unbuilt E1 welt well built. I was agonizing over which one to build out, still kinda am.

I like the guide Xlice I understand the early access

have a good trip

I can’t believe he’s really gone… its like he’s still here with us 😢 rest in peace Mr Xlice (he’s just going on vacation)

i prefer to see the extra sd/ck from her e2 as making up for the loss in sd/ck generation due to having one less nihility unit. so when you trade 1 nihility for 1 harmony, the trade off is simply the difference in damage amplification those two units provide. i.e., you don't have to think as much about the difference in acheron's ult uptime when considering 2 nihility vs. 1 nihility 1 harmony

I have e1s1 black swan and e0s1 Kafka, gonna be running Acheron with them and maybe a gepard with the burn lc

I can’t wait for her wooooohoooo

Nice guide. Can u do one for Aventurine ? Have a nice day :))

A bit of note, if this wasn't changed in the beta, kafka can activate 1 stack of acheron's ult when using kafka's follow-up atk

Honestly Luocha seems super good for the Acheron + Welt combo since he's really the only SP positive 5 star sustain

Good day Mr. Streamer!

I like the idea of the glass canon team

The current temperature build I have in mind is trailblazer,Sampo,pela and finally acheron

Xlice, do you have any plans on making a Gallagher guide? He's a 4 star character so you might not cover him. But I like your guides a lot so fingers crossed you would make one for him.

Very good guide ,like it more than the one Brax made.

Have a great trip sir.

I'm going to get Acheron, using Acheron / Pela / Gepard and maybe Black Swan or Bronya, and then pulling for Jingliu. After that, maybe I'll do passive farming for a long, long time until some unit comes out for Acheron. Waiting for Caterina and Constance if they become playable ofc.

The one thing I want to know about Acheron is, how well does the setting to tone down flashing visuals work on her ultimate?

Honestly, acheron is a very easy skip for me. The only thing that appeals to me was the instakill, but I realized that I wouldn't use it because I have enough materials from mobs. Also, I have 2 lighting dps's kafka and jing yuan( who is really strong now). And all ready have the diversity for other content. So saving for aventurine. But good luck to those who are pulling for her.

Will u make a Gallagher guide as well? I want to see your side of build on him besides Braxophone's.

Well that reassures me that we can use Welt’s LC because that’s literally all I had for her Like I would’ve liked « goodnight sleep well » LC cuz apparently it’s a very good f2p weapon and I kept seeing builds where Welt’s weapon wasn’t there so I was a little worried But then again I’m using it and she deals pretty good damage although she’s not finished at all. Thank you for the guide !

4:55 So acheron did true damage to enemy it means 100% defence ignore ? or just toughness defence ignorance?

Fire MC can taunt (which is a debuff itself) and force enemies to hit him and take burn from Trend of the Universal Market.

Hi Professor Dr Mr Xlice. What is the boss material on level up Archeron? will it be new drop in the upcoming update or the current ones.

Yep. I'll get her E2S1 for sure. She is such an OP character

Hoyo must want massive sales for her, based on all these early access videos. I wonder why they didn't do this for characters like Jingliu or DHIL.

Good luck on rolling for Acheron my fellow players, I personally are eyeing that juicy e2 😂😂 50/50 but everyone can dream yeah?

13:56 i just wanna point out that the 3 star loop lc at s5 is usable if youre using a welt, it gives 48% dmg bonus so its bascailly s2 GNSW but worse base stats.

I think Huohuo would be great for the E0 Acheron with 2 other Nihility characters since her ultimate also buffs Attack.

About the Lc, fermata is a good option for those who has Sampo on their account. While Sampo himself doesn't help with amplifying Acheron's damage, Acheron gets so much self buff from her kit so she'll still do a lot of damage. Black Swan is a better pick if they pulled for her previously. But great video overall! You should e6s5 her!!!
