Himeko is a great 5-star character to get if you need a Fire damage dealer. She's an excellent Main DPS when fighting multiple enemies, but falls a bit behind when it comes to fighting bosses or in Single Target situations. She is also a good Sub-DPS thanks to her follow-up attacks!

Firesmith of Lava-Forging
x2
Prisoner in Deep Confinement x2 |
★★★★☆ - 2nd Best This relic set is great if Himeko is used on a DoT team. This gets better if you manage to break enemy weaknesses. |

x2
The Ashblazing Grand Duke x2 |
★★★☆☆ - 3rd Best The best budget Relic set for Himeko if you're still farming for better sub-stats. |
Ornament Set | Merits |
Firmament Frontline Glamoth | ★★★★★ - Best Firmament Frontline Glamoth provides the most buffs for Himeko's overall damage but requires SPD stats. |

Sigonia, the Unclaimed Desolation | ★★★☆☆ - 3rd Best Sigonia, the Unclaimed Desolation is best used in content where you fight waves of enemies like Pure Fiction. This Ornament increases Himeko's CRIT DMG for every enemy taken down, and the buff remains until the end of combat. |

Trace | Priority & Explanation |
---|---|
Basic Attack | ★★☆☆☆ - Lower Priority Only used for SP regeneration. This should be the last Trace to be leveled up. |
Skill | ★★★★☆ - High Priority Secondary source of damage, used as often as possible to build Ultimate faster. |
Ultimate | ★★★★★ - Highest Priority Main source of her AoE Fire Damage. Applies Burn due to her passives and Weakness Break. |
Talent | ★★★★☆ - High Priority Increases her follow up damage. Should be the next priority after her Skill. |
Why We Recommend It | |
---|---|
E1 | ★★☆☆☆ - Situational Situational buff where its value is based on how often you trigger her Talent. If Himeko is played with a buffer, you need to account for the potential of Himeko out-speeding her supports. |
E2 | ★★★☆☆ - Decent Decent damage buff that is only active for 50% of the fight. |
E4 | ★★★☆☆ - Decent Lets her trigger her Follow-Up attack more often. Useful in Simulated Universe. |
E6 | ★★★★☆ - Good Increases her damage and also increases the chance of applying burn to enemies with its additional hits. |
Himeko specializes in taking out multiple enemies using powerful Fire attacks. Her Ultimate and Follow-up Attack specifically can easily wipe enemies away.
Himeko gains a stack of Charge whenever an enemy's Weakness breaks. When all three Charge stacks are up and an ally attacks the enemy, it triggers a Follow-up attack that deals AoE Fire DMG.
Burned enemies take more DMG from Himeko's attacks. Afflict enemies with Burn before using your Ultimate to dish out the highest amount of DMG.
Himeko can dish more chances of CRIT hits as long as her HP stays at 80% or above. Use Shielders or Healers and remove debuffs to keep Himeko's health high.

don't take game8's recommendations to heart. Glammoth is only a tiny bit better than salsotto. Plus, Himeko has a 96 base speed. Even with speed boots on, good luck trying to get the last 14 on substats to get to 135. Game8 fails to put up numbers or details into their recommendations. Just look up CCs on YouTube and they'll provide detailed explanations. KeqingMains is the best place for build guides but it takes a long time for them to get stuff out since they do meticulous research.
