Blind the world through your beauty with the best Honkai: Star Rail Argenti build and be a knight in shining armor for your team. This 5-Star character deals Physical Damage and follows The Erudition, which means that he excels at dealing with waves of small fry standing in his way.
Argenti’s Skill, Justice, Hereby Blooms, is a very simple area-of-effect move dealing Physical Damage to all enemies based on his Attack stat.
Argenti can decide how much Energy he wants to invest into his Ultimate. Consuming 90 Energy, he unleashes For In This Garden, Supreme Beauty Bestows and deals Physical Damage to all enemies based on his Attack stat. However, consuming 180 Energy, Argenti instead uses Merit Bestowed In “My” Garden, which deals a lot more Physical Damage to all enemies based on his Attack stat as well as randomly hitting enemies an additional six times.
His Talent, Sublime Object, regenerates Energy for Argenti for every enemy hit with his Basic Attack, Skill, or Ultimate. Additionally, he can obtain up to ten stacks of Apotheosis this way, increasing his Critical Hit Rate.
Argenti’s Eidolon Levels, which you can boost by obtaining more copies of him, maximize his power. Eidolon 1 increases the Critical Hit Rate provided by Apotheosis. Eidolon 2 increases Argenti’s Attack substantially if there are three or more enemies on the field when he uses his Ultimate. Eidolon 4 allows him to obtain up to a dozen stacks of Apotheosis, starting him off with two right from the beginning of combat. Finally, Eidolon 6 allows his Ultimate to ignore 30% of the Defense of his targets.

Argenti benefits most from his signature Light Cone, An Instant Before A Gaze. It boosts the Critical Hit Damage of its wearer substantially and increases their Ultimate’s damage based on the character’s Energy. Since Argenti has a maximum Energy capacity of 180, this can amount to a massive damage boost for him.
This is essentially a powered-up version of Today Is Another Peaceful Day, which is a solid 4-Star alternative to keep in mind.

Honkai: Star Rail – Argenti: best teams
Argenti excels at defeating waves of weaker opponents thanks to his sweeping attacks. He has strong built-in Energy Regeneration, but it won’t hurt him to have Support characters around that provide more of that.
- Argenti (Main DPS), Bronya (Support), Tingyun (Support), Huohuo (Healer)
Argenti is the team’s star with Bronya helping him build up his Apotheosis stacks quickly through turn order manipulation. Tingyun boosts his offensive capabilities and helps him build Energy for quicker Ultimate use. Huohuo not only keeps the team healthy, but provides additional Attack and Energy as well through her Ultimate.
Supports like Silver Wolf and Pela, who can chip away at the enemy’s Defense, benefit Argenti as well. Hanya is a strong generalist Support working well with the knight, too.
