Element / Path Lightning / Nihility
Rarity 5-Star
Skill

Octobolt Flash:

  • Acheron gains 1 Slashed Dream point, inflicts 1 Crimson Knot on a single target, and deals Lightning damage equal to 80% of her attack.
Ultimate

Slashed Dream Cries in Red:

  • Acheron unleashes Rainblade (x3) and Stygian Resurge (x1), dealing Lightning damage to a single target and all other enemies.
  • Crimson Knots can't be applied during Ultimate. 

As Honkai Star Rail's first critical hit-focused Nihility DPS, Acheron functions differently than her other counterparts. F2P players aiming to optimize Acheron's potential should familiarize themselves with her kit and build first. Her kit revolves around stacking the unique Slashed Dream buff and inflicting the Crimson Knot debuff on enemies to enable damaging combos.

With no natural energy generation of her own, Acheron needs Nihility teammates who can help her consistently. Characters like Pela and Guinaifen excel in this supporting role while also providing valuable buffs and debuffs for the team.

Best F2P Team for Acheron in Honkai Star Rail

Here are two effective free-to-play team comp options for Acheron centered around boosting her Crimson Knot:

1) Acheron, Guinaifen, Pela, Gallagher

With Guinaifen's universal crit rate buffing and battery potential on board, this lineup provides smooth energy circulation for Acheron's skills and ultimate.

At E1, Guinaifen gets significant cooldown reductions, ensuring continuous battery and crit rate boosts. Meanwhile, Pela's E4 trait boosts defense shreds, amplifying Acheron's damage. Investing in these two 4-star Nihility supports gives players significant benefits.


2) Acheron, Silver Wolf, Pela, Gallagher

Replacing Guinaifen with Silver Wolf enables dual defense shreds for enormous damage. Players with the limited 'Before the Tutorial Mission Starts' light cone can run it on Silver Wolf for even more defense reductions. 

Staying alive is also vital to maintaining Acheron's damage output. Players can consider adding a dedicated healer to the team like Gallagher for better survivability.


3) Alternatives and Upgrades

While the recommended 4-star combinations offer great synergy already, 5-stars characters like Black Swan and Kafka can take over supporting duties for additional firepower. Players can also drop the healer and use Welt Yang and Ruan Mei for extra damage and acceleration.

That's all for the recommended best F2P teams for Acheron in Honkai Star Rail. These teams will fully unlock Acheron's potential, covering battery, buffs, healing, and shreds. They will allow F2P players to confidently tackle Honkai Star Rail's toughest challenges!
