Quick Answer: The best Aglaea HSR build focuses on CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, SPD, Lightning DMG, and Energy Regeneration. Her best setup is usually Time Woven Into Gold as her Light Cone, Hero of Triumphant Song as her relic set, and The Wondrous BananAmusement Park as her Planar Ornament. In my experience, Aglaea performs best as a fast Lightning Remembrance DPS built around her memosprite, Garmentmaker, with supports that provide turn advance, CRIT buffs, Energy, or team-wide damage amplification.
Aglaea is a 5-star Lightning character following the Path of Remembrance in Honkai: Star Rail. Unlike a normal hypercarry who only cares about personal turns, Aglaea’s damage rhythm is closely tied to her memosprite, Garmentmaker. That makes her build slightly different from older Lightning DPS characters: she wants strong CRIT stats, but she also values SPD, Energy, and support synergy more than many players expect.
If you are still comparing her with other DPS options, you may also want to check the broader best characters in Honkai Star Rail guide before spending Stellar Jades on her banner.

⚡ Aglaea Overview: Role, Element & Path
| Category | Aglaea Details |
|---|---|
| Rarity | 5-Star |
| Element | Lightning |
| Path | Remembrance |
| Main Role | Lightning DPS / Memosprite DPS |
| Core Mechanic | Works around Garmentmaker, her memosprite summon |
| Build Focus | CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, SPD, Lightning DMG, Energy Regeneration |
| Best For | Players who want a fast Lightning carry with summon-based damage patterns |
Build Note: Aglaea is not just “another Lightning DPS.” Because her memosprite contributes heavily to her damage cycle, her best teams often care about turn manipulation, uptime, and support buffs that benefit both her and her summon.
From a planning perspective, Aglaea is most attractive if your account needs a dedicated Lightning carry or if you enjoy Remembrance-style gameplay. If you already have several heavily invested DPS characters, the decision becomes less about raw strength and more about whether her team requirements fit your roster.
🧵 Best Aglaea Build Summary
The best Aglaea build should make her fast enough to maintain pressure while stacking enough CRIT and damage stats to convert those turns into real output. For most players, I would build her as a high-speed CRIT DPS first, then refine Energy and team speed tuning later.
| Build Slot | Best Choice | Budget / Alternative Choice |
|---|---|---|
| Light Cone | Time Woven Into Gold | Sweat Now, Cry Less / Geniuses’ Greetings / Reminiscence |
| Relic Set | Hero of Triumphant Song | Musketeer of Wild Wheat |
| Planar Ornament | The Wondrous BananAmusement Park | Rutilant Arena / Firmament Frontline Glamoth |
| Body | CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG | Choose based on your substats |
| Feet | SPD | ATK% only if your speed tuning is already solved |
| Sphere | Lightning DMG | ATK% if it has much better substats |
| Rope | Energy Regeneration | ATK% only with strong Energy support |
If you are still learning how relic stats work in Star Rail, the general relic stats optimization guide will help you understand why SPD and CRIT balance matter so much for a carry like Aglaea.
📊 Aglaea Priority Stats
| Priority | Stat | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | CRIT Rate | Aglaea wants consistent damage, especially when paired with CRIT DMG buffers. |
| 2 | SPD | More turns help her maintain offensive tempo and improve team rotation flow. |
| 3 | CRIT DMG | Scales her damage output once CRIT Rate is stable. |
| 4 | Energy Regeneration | Helps reduce downtime and keeps her important damage windows smoother. |
| 5 | ATK% | Still useful, but usually less urgent than CRIT and SPD. |
Tip: Do not chase only CRIT DMG. In my experience, Aglaea feels much better when she has reliable CRIT Rate and enough SPD to keep her rotation active. A beautiful CRIT DMG number is not worth much if she fails to crit or feels too slow.
✅ Aglaea Build Checklist
- Use CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG Body depending on your relic rolls.
- Use SPD Feet unless you have a very specific speed-tuned setup.
- Use Lightning DMG Sphere for standard damage scaling.
- Use Energy Regeneration Rope for smoother uptime in most teams.
- Pair her with supports that offer turn advance, Energy, CRIT buffs, ATK buffs, or DEF reduction.
- Avoid forcing her into teams where supports only buff a single ally while ignoring summon value.

🏺 Best Relics & Planar Ornaments for Aglaea
Aglaea’s relic choices should support her core identity: fast summon-based DPS with strong CRIT scaling. Her best relics are not just about increasing one damage stat; they should help her maintain a stable rotation while boosting the parts of her kit that matter most.
| Relic / Ornament | Ranking | Best Use Case | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hero of Triumphant Song | Best Relic Set | Standard Aglaea DPS build | Best general option because it supports her SPD and CRIT-focused playstyle. |
| Musketeer of Wild Wheat | Budget Option | Early build or transitional setup | Useful if you do not have strong dedicated pieces yet. |
| The Wondrous BananAmusement Park | Best Planar Ornament | Summon / memosprite DPS setup | Very strong because Aglaea naturally plays around a summon. |
| Rutilant Arena | Alternative | High CRIT Rate build | Can work if your CRIT Rate requirement is already met. |
| Firmament Frontline Glamoth | Speed-Based Alternative | Fast Aglaea setups | Consider only if you can reach relevant SPD thresholds. |
Farming Advice: For F2P players, do not over-farm perfect relics too early. Get Aglaea functional first: correct main stats, usable CRIT ratio, and enough SPD. After that, improve substats gradually.
For a broader comparison of relic value across different characters, you can read the best relic sets in Honkai Star Rail guide and decide whether farming Aglaea’s set also benefits your wider account.
Recommended Main Stats
| Relic Slot | Recommended Main Stat | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Body | CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG | Use whichever gives better final CRIT balance. |
| Feet | SPD | Best default choice for most Aglaea builds. |
| Planar Sphere | Lightning DMG | Best standard offensive option. |
| Link Rope | Energy Regeneration | Recommended for smoother Ultimate uptime. |

💫 Best Light Cones for Aglaea
Aglaea’s Light Cone choice matters because Remembrance units have a more limited Light Cone pool than older Paths. Her signature is the cleanest option, but F2P and low-spender players can still build her with alternatives.
| Light Cone | Ranking | Best For | Should You Use It? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time Woven Into Gold | Best in Slot | Premium Aglaea build | Yes, if you want her strongest personal setup. |
| Sweat Now, Cry Less | Strong Alternative | Players without signature LC | Good option when available. |
| Geniuses’ Greetings | Good Alternative | Basic ATK-focused value | Useful, but may lose value depending on team buffs. |
| Victory In a Blink | Situational | Budget Remembrance setup | Use if your stronger options are missing. |
| Reminiscence | Early / Budget | Newer or F2P accounts | Acceptable while building toward better cones. |
Warning: Do not pull Aglaea’s signature Light Cone automatically just because it is her best option. If your account lacks key supports or sustain units, a stronger team foundation may give you more value than one premium Light Cone.
Light Cone Pull Priority
| Player Type | Recommended Choice | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| F2P | Skip signature unless Aglaea is your main carry | Stellar Jade is usually better saved for characters. |
| Low Spender | Consider signature after securing team supports | Aglaea scales well, but team quality still matters. |
| Aglaea Main | Pull Time Woven Into Gold | Best long-term investment for her personal damage. |
| Meta-Focused Player | Compare with upcoming banners first | Opportunity cost matters in every patch cycle. |

👥 Best Aglaea Teams
The best Aglaea teams usually treat her as the main carry and build around her tempo. She appreciates supports that can increase her damage, help her act more often, solve Energy pressure, or improve team consistency.
If you are still learning team roles, the Honkai Star Rail team building guide is a good foundation before you lock resources into one Aglaea lineup.
💎 Aglaea Premium Team
| Slot | Recommended Character | Role | Why It Works |
|---|---|---|---|
| DPS | Aglaea | Main Lightning Remembrance carry | Primary damage source built around Garmentmaker. |
| Support | Sunday | Turn advance / CRIT support | Excellent for carry-focused setups and action manipulation. |
| Support | Robin / Remembrance Trailblazer / Tingyun | Damage buff / Energy / rotation support | Choose based on account investment and speed tuning. |
| Sustain | Huohuo / Aventurine / Fu Xuan / Lynx | Survival and utility | Pick based on whether you need Energy, shields, CRIT utility, or cleanse. |
Author Experience: I prefer Aglaea teams where at least one support directly improves her tempo. If she feels slow or Energy-starved, her damage windows feel uneven even when her relics look good on paper.
🆓 Aglaea F2P Team
| Slot | F2P / Budget Option | Role | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| DPS | Aglaea | Main Carry | Invest in her level, Light Cone, and relic main stats first. |
| Support | Remembrance Trailblazer | Remembrance synergy / utility | Strong budget partner if properly built. |
| Support | Asta / Tingyun / Pela | SPD, Energy, ATK, or DEF reduction | Choose based on what your Aglaea lacks most. |
| Sustain | Lynx / Natasha | Healing and cleanse | Lynx is usually more comfortable if you need cleansing. |
Aglaea Team Building Rules
- Rule 1: Do not build her too slow. Aglaea wants tempo.
- Rule 2: Do not ignore Energy. Downtime can hurt her real performance.
- Rule 3: Do not judge her only by screenshot damage. Rotation consistency matters.
- Rule 4: Use support buffs that match her damage cycle, not just generic ATK stacking.
- Rule 5: For endgame, tune Aglaea around the content: single-target, multi-wave, Lightning weakness, and enemy speed all matter.

🎯 Should You Pull Aglaea?
Aglaea is worth pulling if you need a Lightning DPS, enjoy Remembrance gameplay, or already have supports that can make her rotation feel smooth. She is less urgent if your account already has strong Lightning coverage and you are missing universal supports or sustain units.
| Situation | Pull or Save? | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| You need a Lightning DPS | Pull | Aglaea gives your account strong Lightning coverage with a distinct summon-based style. |
| You like Remembrance / memosprite gameplay | Pull | Her kit represents the Path well and feels different from older carries. |
| You already own strong supports like Sunday, Robin, Tingyun, or Huohuo | Strong Pull | She benefits greatly from proper support infrastructure. |
| You already have Acheron, Jing Yuan, or another invested Lightning carry | Optional | She may still be strong, but your account need is lower. |
| You are F2P and saving for future characters | Depends | Pull if she solves a real roster gap; save if she is only a luxury upgrade. |
| You cannot build her supports yet | Save or wait | Aglaea performs best with the right team environment. |
Pull Planning Tip: Before pulling, check your pity, guarantee, and next-banner plans. A strong DPS is valuable, but one poorly timed pull can delay a support that improves multiple teams.
For a more structured pull plan, use the HSR Pull Tracker guide to calculate whether Aglaea fits your current Stellar Jade budget.

📅 Aglaea Character Banner History
Aglaea’s banner history is important for players planning reruns. Since HoYoverse can change banner formats and rerun timing, always confirm the latest schedule from official announcements before publishing a time-sensitive update.
| Version | Banner Character | Featured 4-Star Characters | Dates | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3.0 | Aglaea | Hanya, Tingyun, Sushang | February 05, 2025 – February 25, 2025 | Original Release Banner |
| 3.3 | Aglaea | Xueyi, Sushang, Qingque | June 11, 2025 – July 01, 2025 | Rerun |
| 4.0 / Early 2026 Banner Cycle | Aglaea | Tingyun, Yukong, Dan Heng | January 28, 2026 – February 12, 2026 | Rerun |
Update Warning: Banner history should be reviewed every patch. If Aglaea appears in a future rerun or special banner format, update this table with the official date, featured 4-stars, and Light Cone banner details.
For a full banner archive across characters and Light Cones, you can compare this section with the HSR Banner History page.
🌌 Aglaea Light Cone Banner History
Aglaea’s signature Light Cone is Time Woven Into Gold. When Aglaea reruns, her signature Light Cone is usually the main item players check first, especially if they already own Aglaea and want to improve her personal ceiling.
| Version / Period | Featured Light Cone | Path | Linked Character | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aglaea Release Banner Period | Time Woven Into Gold | Remembrance | Aglaea | Signature Light Cone and best premium option. |
| Aglaea Rerun Periods | Time Woven Into Gold | Remembrance | Aglaea | Update exact rerun dates based on official Light Cone banner announcements. |
| Future Banner Updates | To be confirmed | Remembrance | Aglaea | Check official HoYoverse notices before updating this row. |
Value Summary: Time Woven Into Gold is Aglaea’s best Light Cone, but it is not mandatory for every account. For F2P players, a new character or key support can sometimes outperform a single signature Light Cone in total account value.
🧭 Aglaea Trace & Upgrade Priority
When upgrading Aglaea, prioritize anything that directly improves her core damage loop. Do not spread resources evenly if you are short on materials. Aglaea wants focused investment.
| Upgrade Area | Priority | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Core damage traces | Very High | These define Aglaea’s main damage output. |
| Ultimate-related upgrades | High | Important for uptime and stronger damage windows. |
| Skill / Talent interactions | High | Supports her memosprite-based rotation. |
| Minor stat traces | Medium | Useful after main traces are already leveled. |
| Basic low-impact nodes | Lower | Upgrade later unless required for pathing. |
If you are short on materials, the Ascension and Traces guide can help you decide which upgrades to farm first instead of wasting Trailblaze Power.
Weekly Resource Checklist
- Farm trace materials only after confirming Aglaea is part of your active team plan.
- Upgrade her Light Cone level before chasing perfect relic substats.
- Build at least one compatible support before fully min-maxing Aglaea.
- Keep a backup relic set if your best pieces are currently used by another DPS.
- Review banner plans before spending Fuel or reserved materials.

🧩 Common Aglaea Build Mistakes
| Mistake | Why It Hurts | Better Approach |
|---|---|---|
| Building too much CRIT DMG and not enough CRIT Rate | Damage becomes inconsistent. | Balance CRIT before chasing screenshot numbers. |
| Ignoring SPD | Rotation feels slow and damage windows become weaker. | Use SPD Feet in most builds. |
| Skipping Energy needs | Ultimate uptime becomes unreliable. | Use Energy Rope unless your team solves Energy. |
| Pulling signature Light Cone before team supports | Personal damage improves, but team performance may still feel weak. | Build the full team first. |
| Using random high-score relics | Good substats may not match Aglaea’s actual needs. | Prioritize correct main stats and useful substats. |
Summary: A good Aglaea build is not just “CRIT + Lightning damage.” The strongest setup balances CRIT consistency, SPD, Energy uptime, and support synergy. That is what makes her feel smooth in real fights.

No, Aglaea does not absolutely need her signature Light Cone, but Time Woven Into Gold is her best premium option. F2P players can use alternatives such as Sweat Now, Cry Less, Geniuses’ Greetings, or Reminiscence while saving pulls for characters.
Is Aglaea good for F2P players?
