Quick links

If you want to beat the playoffs Honkai: Star Raila team of four characters that work well with each other is very important. However, there are some characters that are much more dependent on their teammates than others as their kit gets a significant buff based on allies.

Honkai: Star Rail – Ascension and track material for Firefly

If you plan to summon Firefly in Honkai: Star Rail, here are all the materials you need to build her up.

Firefly is one of those unique characters that has aspects of her kit that rely heavily on teammates, but also some pieces that allow her to sustain solo. Thankfully, one of her best teammates is completely free for every player.

Updated on January 2, 2025 by Sanyam Jain: When Firefly was first released, she didn't have many teams that let her fully shine. Thankfully, there have been quite a few new support releases, and while they can be a little hard to get, they will make your Firefly get ridiculous numbers.

The best Firefly team

Lingsha

Sustainer/Sub-DPS

Before we go any further with this team, it is important to mention that it is a difficult team to have given that all four characters in it are limited five-star units. Honkai: Star Rail releases new characters at a fairly fast pace, so it's almost impossible to have all four if you're a relatively new player.

But that doesn't change the fact that this is the best Firefly team you will have. Not only does this team have three Fire characters that consistently attack the enemies, but also Ruan Mei, who essentially doubles the Toughness damage of those attacks.

Even if the enemies don't have fire weakness, Firefly can apply it with their technique and polished skill.

Fuga also lets her team deal 50 percent of original Toughness DMG to enemies which does not have the necessary weakness.

Even though Lingsha is the sustainer of this team, you'll still see her easily take over 100,000 damage when all the enemies on the field are weakness breaks. It's almost comical how strong this team is for so long because the enemy doesn't hide their weakness like Bronya or Sam.

The Budget Firefly Team

Honkai Star Rail Firefly Trailblazer Ruan Mei Gallagher

Role

Firefly

Main DPS

Harmony Trailblazer

Buffer/Sub-DPS

Ruan Mei

Buffer

Gallagher

Sustainer/Sub-DPS

Before you say anything else, it's important to mention that you'll often see Harmony Trailblazer in almost every possible team for Firefly. This is because the Trailblazer's Path is absolutely free for everyone to acquire and also one of the best devices you can pair with Firefly. In some cases, you might not even need another teammate with these two.

Harmony Trailblazer's Ultimate lets you deal Super Break DMG when one of her allies attacks a Weakness Broken enemy, and The multipliers for this Super Break are even higher than Firefly's own multipliers. This takes into account the attacking character's Break Effect and Toughness Reducing DMG, and Firefly has a lot of both of these.

Super Break DMG from Firefly's Bonus Ability happens separately from Super Break from Trailblazerwhich allows both to damage at the same time.

After using Firefly for a while, you'll quickly realize that 90 percent or more of her damage is locked behind breaking the enemy's weakness. Although she already gets some Toughness Reduction DMG from her kit to help with this, Ruan Mei's Skill can give her even more of thiswhich allows you to break almost every enemy's Toughness pretty quickly.

Finally is Gallagher best four star sustain you can use with Firefly due to a few reasons:

  • Firefly can apply Fire Weakness to the enemy with its enhanced skill, and Gallagher shares the same fighting typewhich gives you an even easier Toughness Break.

  • Gallagher's Ultimate applies the Besotted state to every enemy, which increases Break DMG shared by all characters including Super Break.

  • In addition, Gallagher can trade pretty much Super Break DMG itself as long as you have Harmony Trailblazer on the team.

F2P friendly Firefly team

Honkai Star Rail Firefly Trailblazer Pela Gallagher

Team member

Role

Firefly

Main DPS

Harmony Trailblazer

Buffer/Sub-DPS

Pela

DEF shredder

Gallagher

Sustainer/Sub-DPS

Firefly's F2P-friendly team is very similar to her main team since then you would just have to replace Ruan Mei as both Harmony Trailblazer and Gallagher are easy to obtain. Ruan Mei was also featured as a limited character alongside the first Firefly banner, but not everyone has the opportunity to get both characters.

In these situations, you can use Pela because she can reduce every enemy's DEF with her Ultimate, which is one of the few debuffs that actually buffs Super Break DMG. She can also deal a decent chunk of Super Break DMG with this Ultimate, but it won't be anything to be happy about.

Firefly Focus Team

Honkai Star Rail Firefly Trailblazer Sparkle Aventurine

Team member

Role

Firefly

Main DPS

Harmony Trailblazer

Buffer/Sub-DPS

Sparkle/Bronya

Turn forward

Aventurine

Sustainers

If you don't have access to Ruan Mei and Gallagher, you can also try this team, but that will always give you less value than the main team in almost all situations. This team focuses mostly on getting Firefly as many turns as possible, especially when she's buffed, so you need to build up all the SPD you can on Sparkle or Bronya.

Aventurine is one of the best entertainers you can have in the game, and he is decent at tearing down enemy toughness if they have Imaginary Weakness, he also saves a spot on this team. However, you'll notice that both the third and fourth slot characters can provide a decent chunk of Crit DMG buff to Firefly.

Normally you wouldn't want to build Crit on Firefly like she doesn't cause enough personal damage to justify it.

With this team you can try to get over 50 percent Crit Rate on her with random substat rolls and enjoy some Crit hits with these buffers. It's important to mention here, once again, that the team's overall value will still be lower than her best slot team, and that team is also more F2P friendly.

Toughness Who?

Honkai Star Rail Boothill Cool Pose On The Ground

Team member

Role

Firefly

Main DPS

Harmony Trailblazer

Buffer/Sub-DPS

Boothill

Sub DPS

Ruan Mei

Buffer

The final team for Firefly may sound like a bit of a meme, and it is, but it can be quite strong in some cases. Boothill was the first Break-type DMG-dealing five-star released to the game, and his banner was just before Firefly's first banner. Unlike Firefly, he targets one enemy at a time with his attacks.

But the amount of Toughness-Reducing DMG he dealt is also much higher. Both of these characters can apply their battle type weakness to the enemy, which already makes this team flexible. But you'll get the most value from it when the enemy has physical and fire weaknesses.

You don't even need an enforcer at this point because how quickly you will break the enemy's Toughnessespecially if you're fighting single target bosses.

Once you've broken the enemy's weakness with this team, you'll come fast watch their HP disintegrate as you attack them with both Boothill and Firefly. The only hard thing about this team though is maintaining your skill points.
