Best Support Build for Bronya in Honkai Star Rail

A returning familiar face from the Honkai universe, Bronya Rand returns in Honkai: Star Rail. As the Supreme Guardian for Belobog, Bronya is found leading in the story and on the battlefield with her abilities. If you are one of the lucky ones, Bronya will be a must-have support character that can improve any kind of team composition. Now, let's get into the best build and some team combinations for Bronya in Honkai: Star Rail.

Best Bronya Build in Honkai Star Rail

Bronya is among the Wind-element-wielding characters in the Path of Harmony and is more famous for her support rather than for her DPS. While she may not be that strong of an attacker, she can surely make her team's critical damage output go to a whole different level. The ability to advance a character's turn is very repetitive in her enemy encounters, making her a gem for any party composition. With that being said, let's deep-dive into Bronya's best build and team combinations that will help you develop her character in Honkai: Star Rail.

Light Cones

With Bronya available on the standard banner, most players will have her. Thankfully, Bronya can work with many different Light Cones, giving freedom of choice in regards to teams and making her a very versatile support character. Some of these Light Cones will perform a little better than others, but for the most part, almost all of the recommendations will improve Bronya's supportive capabilities. Some recommended Light Cones are as follows:

But the Fight isn't Over (5-Star): This Light Cone increases Bronya's Energy Regeneration Rate, allowing her to spam her Ultimate much more frequently. It also allows the next ally from an attack after Bronya's Ultimate to increase their damage output.

Planetary Rendezvous (4-Star): If your team also contains other Wind characters like Blade of Dan Heng, this Light Cone provides serious damage.

Dance! Dance! Dance! (4-Star): She is a very versatile Light Cone at 4-Star and can speed up all allies' actions, which will be irreplaceable in any team composition.

It is generally considered that for most situations, "But The Battle Isn't Over" is the best Light Cone for Bronya because it has a very sharp focus on Energy Regeneration and damage amplification, befitting a supportive role Bronya is supposed to fulfill. At higher constellations, "Planetary Rendezvous" or "Dance! Dance! Dance!" will work if you don't have the aforementioned Light Cone; your mileage may vary depending on your team composition and playstyle.

Relics and Stats

Among all the available Relics in Honkai: Star Rail, "Messenger Traversing Hackerspace" would be the most fitting choice for Bronya's support role. The relics in this set are pure buffing, coordinating with Bronya's skill of increasing the Speed of all allies whenever she uses her Ultimate. In the case of the Planar Ornament, "Fleet of the Ageless" would be a good choice, which increases the ATK of all teammates once Bronya attains a certain Speed threshold.

Here is the recommended stats of Bronya's build:

Relic/Ornament:

Body Piece: CRIT DMG

Feet Piece: Speed

Planar Sphere: HP

Link Rope: Energy Regen Rate

Building Bronya, at least a threshold of 160 should be considered about the Speed, since she can cover her skills faster and more often to be supportive of her teammates. 

Team Compositions

Bronya goes very well with Boothill, who has strong but slow attacks. Bronya can give acceleration to characters in actions and support them very well. She is the perfect character to complement Boothill. Here is one of the suggested team compositions:

Main DPS: Boothill

Support: Bronya

Second Support: Ruan Mei or Pela

Healer: Gallagher

Without Boothill, Bronya can perform the role of complementing other DPS characters well, such as Blade, Jingliu, or Seele. She is versatile and can fit into all types of team compositions with ease. However, in the moving meta, Bronya certainly has a niche in teams that require increased speed and faster DPS character actions.

With this build and team composition, Bronya will finally reveal all her potential that will highly contribute to the player's success in Honkai: Star Rail.
