【Honkai: Star Rail Build TLDR】

❆ Pela

There are two builds recommended for Pela. First build is focused on her DEF-reduction uptime, while second build is focused on her break dmg from Ultimate.

For Debuffer Build (Recommended!)

[Relic Set 1 = more basic ATK DMG, gets SPD to self, gives ATK buff to allies] → 4pc Musketeer of Wild Wheat → 2pc Fleet of the Ageless

[Relic Set 2 = more basic ATK DMG, gets SPD + EHR to self] → 4pc Musketeer of Wild Wheat → 2pc Pan-Galactic Commercial Enterprise

[Relic Set 3 = to keep her squishy HP safe] → 4pc Guard of Wuthering Snow → 2pc Fleet of the Ageless

[Relic Set 4 = more turns, more SP for team] → 4pc Eagle of Twilight Line → 2pc Fleet of the Ageless

For Break Effect Build

Cavern Relic Sets [Choose either 4pc or 2pc+2pc] → Hunter of Glacial Forest → Thief of Shooting Meteor → Musketeer of Wild Wheat

Planar Ornament Sets [Choose 1] → 2pc Talia: Kingdom of Banditry → 2pc Space Sealing Station

** The ranking of each combo sets will be found at the bottom of this post.

Main Stats → Head = HP (constant) → Hand = ATK (constant) → Body = Effect Hit Rate% (EHR%) → Feet = SPD → Sphere = HP% (for debuffer) / Ice DMG% (for break effect) → Rope = Energy Regeneration Rate (ERR)

Sub Stats → EHR% → SPD → HP% (for debuffer build) → Break Effect (for break build)

Things to Consider

➤ Without ERR rope, rotation to get her ultimate up would be: → using Tutorial event LC, use 3 basic (SP-positive) → using any nihility LC, use 4 basic (SP-positive)

➤ With ERR rope, rotation to get her ultimate up would be: → using Tutorial event LC + Lv 7 talent, use 2 basic (SP-positive) → using any nihility LC + Lv 5 talent, use 3 basic (SP-positive)

** The highlighted ones are the recommended rotations for Pela.

➤ Optional: Build her with 120+ SPD to get the atk buff from Fleet of the Ageless set effect.

Things to Remember

➤ DEF% Reduction in Ultimate and Technique. Ice RES% Reduction in E4. She needs 67% EHR to guarantee these debuffs. She has a base 20% EHR from traces alone, so she only needs 47% EHR more from relic or lightcone stats.

Lightcones

* Lightcone list is from Honkai: Star Rail General Build Guide. Link below in the post. (They did the calcs, so now we have the weapon rankings.)

Before the Tutorial Mission Starts (4☆) [S5]

Incessant Rain (4☆) [S1]

Resolution Shines As Pearls of Sweat (4☆) [S1]

Eyes of the Prey (4☆) [S1]

Void (3☆) [S5]

Additional Block of Text Below

The most recommended build for Pela is to build her with the needed EHR values and the rest of the substats would be for SPD and HP%.

Musketeer of Wild Wheat is a set mostly recommended for her because her rotations is only using basic attacks to get her ultimate up.

The Guard of Wuthering Snow is a niche build that is recommended if you are farming for Quantum set and you get a lot of good Wuthering relic pieces from the same relic cavern. This is niche because you are mostly prioritizing her HP pool over her damage potential.

Eagle of Twilight Line is only recommended for her if you don't need to speedtune her in your team. The purpose of having the Wind set and the SPD boots on her is to guarantee that she'll be having more turns than usual compared to using the other relic sets on her. She can carry the SP economy of your team due to her SP+ nature.

As for the planar ornament sets, only use Pan-Galactic Commercial Enterprise if you are having hard time getting the required 67% EHR for her, but if you can achieve that with only using EHR body and some EHR substats, you could use Fleet of the Ageless instead to give ATK buff for your team.

** Broken Keel & Fleet of Ageless for support usage is explained here.

— Break DMG Calculation —

To start off, break effect is a multiplier that enhances three things:

Break DMG

DoT/Delayed DMG dealt by inflicting Weakness Breaks

Action delay caused by Quantum and Imaginary Weakness Breaks

Since Pela is Ice element, she's isn't capable dealing DoT DMG, but she could deal initial break DMG from both her Basics, Skill, Technique, and Ultimate. The calcs only consider single instance of initial break dmg. So yeah, my values might differ with other break dmg calcs. ** There's a break dmg calc in the sources below, but I didn't used it cause I'm running with my last remaining brain cell when I did my calcs here, but feel free to check that out.

TLDR;

Highest break dmg set = 2pc Thief + 2pc Musketeer + 2pc Talia

Lowest break dmg set: = 4pc Hunter + 2pc SSS = 2pc Hunter + 2pc Hacker + 2pc SSS

%Difference between highest break dmg set & lowest debuffer set = ~30%
