Discover the best build for Sampo in Honkai: Star Rail! This guide covers his best Light Cones, Relics, Planar Ornaments, and team compositions to maximize his damage and debuff capabilities.
Sampo is a 4-star Wind Nihility character who excels at applying DoT (Damage over Time) effects and debuffing enemies. He is a valuable addition to teams that focus on damage-over-time strategies.
Best Light Cones:
- In the Name of the Peace (Best-in-Slot for DoT teams)
- Good Night and Sleep Well (General strong debuff option)
- Fermata (F2P friendly, good for Nihility synergy)
- Before the Tutorial Mission Starts (Excellent for breaking enemies and energy)
Best Relics:
- 4-piece Prisoner in Deep Confinement (Maximizes DoT damage)
- 2-piece Messenger Traversing Hackerspace + 2-piece Musketeer of Wild Wheat (For Speed and ATK)
Best Planar Ornaments:
- 2-piece Broken Keel (Crit DMG boost for the team if Effect RES is met)
- 2-piece Space Sealing Station (ATK boost when Speed is high)
Stat Priority:
- Body: Effect Hit Rate / ATK%
- Feet: Speed / ATK%
- Planar Sphere: Wind DMG Boost
- Link Rope: Energy Regeneration Rate / ATK%
- Substats: Speed, Effect Hit Rate, ATK%, Break Effect
Best Team Compositions:
- Kafka + Sampo + Luka/Serval + Healer/Shielder: Classic DoT team focusing on Wind and Lightning DoTs.
- Kafka + Sampo + Ruan Mei + Healer/Shielder: Ruan Mei provides significant buffs to DoT and Break Efficiency.
- Sampo + Other DoT characters + Bronya/Tingyun + Healer/Shielder: If Kafka is not available, Sampo can still lead DoT teams with other characters.
Skill Priority:
- Ultimate (Wind Shear DoT application and debuff)
- Skill (Direct damage and Wind Shear application)
- Talent (Passive DoT damage)
- Basic Attack
- Sampo's damage scales heavily with his DoT effects, so prioritize Effect Hit Rate to ensure they land.
- His Ultimate applies a debuff that increases Wind DMG taken by the enemy, making him great for Wind-weak targets.
- In teams without Kafka, focus on stacking as many DoT effects as possible before the enemy's turn.
