Dr. Ratio’s Kit and Cycle Rotation (At Max Level)
Dr. Ratio is still in the beta state. His kit has been updated multiple times and will continue to update as we get closer to his official release. We are constantly updating the Dr. Ratio kit information with the latest leaks so you can have the most up-to-date information.
Dr. Ratio’s kit is heavily Follow-up attack specific, and the number of Follow-up attacks increases based on the debuffs applied to the enemies. This is why you need to apply as many debuffs as you can before Dr. Ratio can take his turn and use his skill. His ideal cycle rotation should be:
Skill » Skill » Ultimate » Skill » Skill » Ultimate.
You can also use him as a sub-DPS and use his basic attacks in between his Skill to be Skill point neutral. As a sub-DPS, this is how his ideal rotation should be:
Skill » Basic » Ultimate » Skill » Basic » Ultimate.
Best Dr. Ratio Build: Relics, Planar Ornaments & Sub Stats
Dr. Ratio has a good damage kit, but you need to have the correct Relics to get the best out of him. Here are the best Cavern Relics, Planar Ornaments, and Main and Sub Stats for the best Dr. Ratio build.
Dr. Ratio Cavern Relics
Dr. Ratio’s kit essentially rotates around his Follow-up attacks. With the 4-piece The Ash Blazing Grand Duke, you can continue buffing his Follow-up attacks, increasing his overall damage output per cycle.
You can also use the 4-piece Wastelander of Banditry Desert for a flat Imaginary damage increase. It also adds Crit Rate and Crit Damage based on the debuffed enemies, which will be Dr. Ratio’s main play.
Dr. Ratio Planar Ornaments
The 2-piece Talia: Celestial Differentiator is going to flat increase his Crit damage, as long as you can meet the threshold. If you don’t meet the threshold, then use the 2-piece Space Sealing Station or the 2-piece Pan Cosmic Commercial Enterprise to buff his attack.
Best Main and Sub Stats
For his main and sub stats, try to stack as much Crit Damage, Attack%, and Crit Rate on him. He is going to be a DPS, so you need to maximize his damage output from his follow-up attacks. Speed is also very important for Dr. Ratio. Reaching the 134speed breakpointis a must, and you should adding speed in sub-stats to get the most out of the best Dr. Ratio build.
Light Cones for Best Dr. Ratio Build
As Dr. Ratio is a Hunt character, he has some really good choices for Light Cones. To create the best Dr. Ratio build, you need to select the correct ones. Let’s take a look at some of his best Light Cones.

Dr. Ratio Eidolons in Honkai Star Rail
His Eidolons are decent but not worth enough to pull for the E6. You can try for his E1, but anything more is not worth it.

Best Team Comps For Dr. Ratio
The best teams for Dr. Ratio will need to use his high number of Follow-up attacks, which increases based on the debuffs placed on the enemy.Having someone like Welt on the team is necessary, as he can apply 3 debuffs in one turn. You can also use Pela or Silver Wolf instead of Welt. Also,running Topaz with Dr. Ratio will substantially increase the damageof his Follow-up Attacks.
If you want to run Dr. Ratio as a sub DPS, then you can pair him with Kafka. For a sustain, we suggest Huohuo or Luocha. However, any sustain should work with him, but Huohuo will let him use his Ultimate quickly.
Should You Pull for Dr. Ratio in Honkai Star Rail?
HoYoverse has already planned togift Dr. Ratio for free in the Honkai Star Rail 1.6 update. Furthermore, his Eidolons are not worth enough to invest, so you don’t need to pull for him. Besides that,I personally think Dr. Ratio’s kit is very strong. His kit allows him to start dealing high damage from the start of the battle, as long as you have a good Debuff Applier on your team.
He is going to be a great DPS option, and as you don’t need to pull for him, your Stellar Jades are also saved for the next upcoming 2.0 banner.
