Argenti is one of the two five-star units introduced in Honkai: Star Rail version 1.5. If you build him properly, this Knight of Beauty can be a powerful DPS enforcer for your team. In this guide, we will explain all of Argenti’s Ascension Materials and his best build.
HSR Argenti Ascension Materials
Argenti is an AoE DPS that follows the path of Erudition and has a Physical element. His skill can deal Physical DMG to all enemies while his Ultimate can damage every opponent.
The unique thing about Argenti is that he can dish out his Ultimate when he only has half Energy. Be warned that the damage will be much weaker, and it’s much better to wait until he gathers full Energy.
Here are all Ascension Materials you must collect to get him to Level 80:
| Rank | Required Level | Credits | Material 1 | Material 2 |
| 1 | 20 | 4,000 | Extinguished Core x5 | – |
| 2 | 30 | 8,000 | Extinguished Core x10 | – |
| 3 | 40 | 16,000 | Glimmering Core x6 | Netherworld Token x3 |
| 4 | 50 | 40,000 | Glimmering Core x9 | Netherworld Token x7 |
| 5 | 60 | 80,000 | Squirming Core x6 | Netherworld Token x20 |
| 6 | 70 | 160,000 | Squirming Core x9 | Netherworld Token x35 |
| Total | 308,000 | Extinguished Core x15 Glimmering Core x15 Squirming Core x15 |
Netherworld Token x65 |
HSR Best Argenti Build
Argenti is a fairly straightforward character because his kit focuses on dealing as much Physical damage on enemies as possible. Luckily, this also means that building him won’t cause a lot of a headache.
- Light Cone: An Instant Before A Gaze
- Relic: Champion of Streetwise Boxing
- Body: ATK%
- Feet: ATK% or SPD
- Planar Ornaments: Space Sealing Station
- Sphere: Physical DMG
- Rope: Energy Regen Rate
- Eidolons: E1
- Trace Priority: Ultimate > Talent > Skill > Basic Attack
Argenti’s signature Light Cone, An Instant Before A Gaze, is the best gear you can equip on this unit. This item can increase his Crit DMG and buff his Ultimate DMG based on his maximum Energy. Not only that, but for each point of Energy, this Light Cone can boost Argenti’s Ultimate DMG further with 180 being the maximum point of Energy.
For Relic, you can equip the Champion of Streetwise Boxing set. Besides increasing his Physical DMG, this artifact can also buff his ATK whenever he attacks or gets hit by an enemy.
The Space Sealing Station set is the best Planar Ornaments for Argenti. This gear can increase a unit’s ATK, and if the wearer’s SPD reaches 120 or higher, it can buff the character’s ATK even further.
For Eidolons, I recommend unlocking Argenti’s E1, A Lacuna in Kingdom of Aesthetics. This ability can boost his Crit DMG by making each stack of Apotheosis additionally increase CRIT DMG by four percent.
Lastly, when upgrading his Trace abilities, I suggest you start leveling up Argenti’s Ultimate first because that’s how he deals most of his damage. Afterward, you can upgrade his Talent and Skill so he can deal consistent damage. As usual, his Basic Attack should be your last priority, but you still need to level it up since Argenti is a main DPS.
That’s everything you need to know about Argenti’s Ascension Materials and his best build. For more HSR content, I recommend you also read our guide on how to build Huohuo. She is another five-star unit introduced in version 1.5, and she is a great healer to have on your team.
