WhenHonkai: Star Raildebuted, players were intrigued with the Break Effect system, but it never became meta as it was too tedious to be worth the time. Plus, playing on Auto basically messes the entire idea up. However, later on, HoYoverse attempts to makeBreak Effect a more relevant mechanic, starting by releasing Ruan Mei, who’s the best character to bring if you’re aiming to break the enemy’s Toughness, then a Break Effect-centric character like Xueyi.
However, Break teams never truly became meta until the debut of Boothill, followed by Harmony MC and Firefly right after. Not only does Firefly hog the protagonist as her best support, but HoYoverse further spoils her by giving Firefly her own Relic Sets, which include the Forge of the Kalpagni Lantern. Fortunately, although it’s designed for Firefly,Forge of the Kalpagni Lantern inHonkai: Star Railis still viable for other characters.
Effect
2pc Bonus
Increases the wearer’s SPD by 6%. When the wearer hits an enemy target that has Fire Weakness, the wearer’s Break Effect increases by 40%, lasting for 1 turn(s).
Forge of the Kalpagni Lantern Set is oddly specific about buffing characters that are hitting enemies with Fire Weakness. Although anyone can use it as long as the enemy has Fire Weakness, players will likely bring a Fire character in this scenario, indirectly making the Set mostly work forFire units inHonkai: Star Rail.
The 40% Break Effect buff stays for one turn, which makes it even harder for the equipping character to do anything with this buff unless they’re targeting an enemy with Fire Weakness. Additionally, the Kalpagni Lantern gives 6% extra SPD, which, so far, is valuable for every Break DPS inHonkai: Star Rail. It’s also viable for Support units that need to be fast.
How To Get Forge of the Kalpagni Lantern Relic In Honkai: Star Rail

Best Characters To Use Forge of the Kalpagni Lantern Relic Set In Honkai: Star Rail

Team Composition

Just like the Iron Cavalry Against the Scourge Set, the Kalpagni Lantern was made for Firefly inHonkai: Star Rail. Not only is Firefly a Fire unit, but she’s also heavily reliant on SPD and Break Effect, which makes this Planar Ornament Set a perfect pick for her.
Gallagher is ahealer inHonkai: Star Railwho scales with Break DMG for his attacks and healing. Previously, before the release of Kalpagni Lantern, Gallagher’s best Planar Ornament was Talia: Kingdom of Banditry. The Set gave him a 36% Break Effect on the condition of having more than 145 SPD. However, the Fire Abundance unit now has the Kalpagni Lantern set to grant him more SPD and Break Effect with an easier requirement.
Kalpagni Lantern unlocked a new, much improved Himeko inHonkai: Star Rail. This Himeko thrives on breaking Toughness before triggering her Talent’s passive and unleashing endless Ultimates and Follow-up attacks upon everyone. With Himeko’s ability to keep attacking, building her with Kalpagni Lantern and Iron Cavalry Against the Scourge sets makes her perform as one of the best DPS inHonkai: Star Rail. Just verify to bring Harmony MC for maximum damage.
As aHarmony unit inHonkai: Star Rail, Asta’s buffs don’t scale with any of her stats, so she can adopt a variety of builds. Add Asta’s Skill to this flexibility, which can land multiple hits on the same target and inflict some serious DMG if she has enough Break Effect; this is where Kalpagni Lantern becomes useful to Asta. It also grants her 6% SPD on top of her Messenger Set’s 6% SPD. That could be perfect for any Harmony unit inHonkai: Star Rail.
