How to Build the Best Black Swan in Honkai Star Rail 2.0 Version

Black Swan is a five-star wind-type character who treads the path of The Nihility. Nihility characters are known for applying debuffs to enemies to reduce their combat effectiveness, such as Honkai Star Rail’s Welt, Honkai Star Rail’s Silver Wolf, and Honkai Star Rail’s Sampo, who is also a wind-type character.

Black Swan is an incredible DoT sub-DPS unit capable of giving your existing DoT teams a significant upgrade. Her utility centers on her talent, which increases her Arcana DoT significantly and synergizes with other debuffing effects.

The Prisoner in Deep Confinement 4-piece set is the absolute best set to use with Black Swan. It grants 12% increased Attack, which is the main DPS scaler for DoT characters. It also has the amazing effect that enemies afflicted with DoTs have 6% of their defense ignored, which can apply for up to three DoTs on one enemy.

Black Swan (DPS), Kafka (DPS), Guinaifen (Sub DPS), Huohuo (Healer)

You essentially take a Kafka team, throw out one of the 4-Star Sub DPS characters you had in there from the usual selection of Guinaifen, Sampo, Serval, and Luka, and slot in Black Swan. It may be necessary to swap Guinaifen out for another sustain for high-difficulty content, but overall you want to inflict as many different DoT effects on enemies as possible with this composition. This will allow Black Swan to make the best use of all her talents. 

Characters that inflict Wind Shear, Burn, Bleed, and Shock are to be preferred, as the DoT inflicted by Ice and Quantum Weakness Break won’t feed into Black Swan’s abilities as well.
