Honkai Star Rail is bringing the heat with a new 4-star Fire character, Guinaifen, a showstopping local celebrity who can apply a ton of debuffs and damage-over-time effects. Guinaifen is a Fire Nihility character whose main gameplay revolves around applying the “Burn” damage-over-time effect on enemies. Damage-over-time is a unique, yet niche way of applying damage to enemy teams. But how does Guinaifen fit in this niche? Here’s our guide on the best team comps for Guinaifen in Honkai Star Rail.

Guinaifen is a 4-star Fire Nihility character. While some Nihility characters rely on debuffing the enemy team, others focus on applying damage-over-time effects and dealing damage. Guinaifen does have some debuffing potential, however, as her “Burn” status can also inflict a unique status ailment: Firekiss, which increases the damage an enemy receives.

As a damage-over-time character, Guinaifen’s team comps are specialized, so you’ll want to know who works with Guinaifen best. Here are some characters that work well with Guinaifen:

  • Kafka: For anyone keeping up with Honkai Star Rail’s powerful cast, Kafka is an exceedingly obvious choice for a teammate. Kafka gets stronger with more DoT appliers, and Guinaifen’s ability to also increase the damage an enemy takes will make her a valuable asset in Kafka teams. Guinaifen will apply Burn and Firekiss, allowing Kafka to deal exceedingly high amounts of damage.
  • Sampo: Sampo is another Nihility character with a focus on damage-over-time effects. His Ultimate increases the damage of a DoT effect, meaning Sampo and Guinaifen can work well together as a team focused on applying DoTs. Just note, both characters here are skill-point hungry, so you’ll want to pair these two up with supports that generate skill points quickly. Some examples are Tingyun, Pela, and Luocha.
  • Asta and mono-Fire: This is a team that will grow stronger over time as more Fire DPS characters are released. Asta has the ability to boost her team’s overall Fire damage, so creating a team surrounding Fire units can yield great results. So far, there isn’t too many Fire DPS characters, but the potential of this team will grow as more units are introduced.

With these tips in mind, here are some example teams for you to consider:

  • Guinaifen / Kafka / Sampo / Luocha
  • Guinaifen / Kafka / Luka / Luocha
  • Guinaifan / Asta / Himeko or Hook / Luocha
