Topaz is known as the Senior Manager of the Strategic Investment Department in the Interastral Peace Corporation. She is also never seen without her companion, the Warp Trotter Numby, who has the ability to seek out riches.

As a 5-Star Fire-type character following the Hunt Path, Topaz will function best in the role of a Sub-DPS in Honkai Star Rail. If you’re curious how you can build this new character, our guide has you covered.


Topaz Best Build & Relic Sets

As a Sub-DPS character, Topaz will benefit the most from a boost to her ATK and CRIT Stats. This will ensure that she is dealing the most damage as possible, including the follow-up attacks from Numby. Here are the best Relic Sets to choose for her.

4-Set Of Firesmith Of Lava-Forging

The 2-Set of Firesmith of Lava-Forging will increase Topaz’s Fire DMG by 10 percent. Its 4-Set will increase her Skill DMG by 12 percent. After unleashing her Ultimate, her Fire DMG will increase by 12 percent for the next attack. This set is the most beneficial for increasing Topaz’s overall damage, and it can ensure Numby can support her properly with his follow-up attacks.

2-Set Of Inert Salsotto

The 2-Set of Inert Salsotto will increase Topaz’s CRIT Rate by 8 percent. When her current CRIT Rate reaches 50 percent or higher, her Ultimate and follow-up attack DMG will increase by 15 percent. This set is a great additive to Numby’s damage, and will also increase Topaz’s CRIT Rate to allow her to deal more CRIT Attacks. With these sets in-hand, here are the best Main and Substats to choose for each piece.

As expected from a Sub-DPS, your main focus is going to be ATK and CRIT Stats. You’ll also want to add a bit of SPD into Topaz’s build to ensure she is able to take the field frequently. This way, you can release Numby on enemies to dwindle down their HP overtime.

Topaz Best Light Cones

As you choose a Light Cone for Topaz, anything that will increase her damage will be the best choice. This includes a buff to ATK, CRIT Stats, or the follow-up attacks from Numby. Here are the best options to choose from.

5-Star Light Cone: Worrisome, Blissful

Worrisome, Blissful will increase Topaz’s CRIT Rate by 18 percent and her follow-up attacks’ DMG by 30 percent. After she uses a follow-up attack, the weapon will apply the Tame state to the target, stacking up to 2 times. When allies hit enemy targets under the Tame state, every Tame stack increases CRIT DMG dealt by 12 percent. A large majority of Topaz’s damage will come from Numby’s follow-up attacks, so Worrisome, Blissful is the perfect choice for her. She will gain a CRIT DMG boost just from using Numby, making it easier to take out enemies in a few hits.

4-Star Light Cone: Swordplay

Swordplay will increase Topaz’s DMG dealt by 8 percent each time she hits the same target, stacking up to 5 times. This effect will be dispelled when Topaz changes targets. Since Numby will be hitting the same target multiple times in a row for follow-up attacks, Swordplay is a great Light Cone to have to increase Topaz’s overall damage easily.

4-Star Light Cone Alternative: Only Silence Remains

Only Silence Remains will increase Topaz’s ATK by 16 percent. If there are 2 or fewer enemies on the field, Topaz’s CRIT Rate will increase by 12 percent. If you don’t have Swordplay in your arsenal, Only Silence Remains is another great 4-Star option. It hits a few of the important stats for Topaz, including ATK and CRIT Rate.

Topaz Best Team Compositions

While Topaz is perfectly capable of being the Main DPS in your team, she is better in the role of a Sub-DPS, especially with Numby by her side. You’ll also want to bring along a few Support characters with Topaz to buff her ATK or CRIT Stats, as well as a Healer to keep everyone alive on the field. Here are the best characters, as well as some alternatives.
