Summary
For theHonkai: Star Rail1.6 update, players have received a free Dr. Ratio in the mail alongside his banner. Given that he was released as a free unit, there was concern over how good his kit would be. However, there’s nothing to worry about becauseHonkai: Star Rail’s Dr. Ratiois a wonderful single-target DPS for players who might not already have one. As an Imaginary Hunt unit, his single-target potential in battle is nothing to make light of.
Dr. Ratio is an amazing unit with flexibility in both teams and builds. As a free unit at E0, he does plenty of damage to not warrant needing to pull for either Eidolons or his signature light cone if players already have a solid option.Honkai: Star Railplayers should also be delighted to know that farming for him can be resin-efficient, and they might already have a build for him lying around. It’s no wonder that upon seeing how good this unit was,Genshin Impactplayers wanted a free five-star too.

Dr. Ratio’s Build
Honkai: Star Rail’s Dr. Ratio’s buildsare highly flexible. There’s a lot of mix-and-matching that players can do with Dr. Ratio’s relic sets and planar ornaments. As for what stats players should go for on Dr. Ratio, he’s a DPS unit, so the usual stats will work just fine: Crit, ATK, SPD, and an Imaginary DMG orb should be the goals for both sub-stats and main stats. As for what sets players can give him, they should consider a combination of the following:
Dr. Ratio’s Light Cones
While his signature light cone would be an amazing pull, not just for him but for any Hunt unit, it’s understandable that not every player has the Stellar Jade to go for it. Luckily, there are plenty offree-to-play light cone options for Dr. Ratio. Herta’s shop offers a wonderful five-star option in the form of Cruising the Stellar Sea. This light cone gives a huge 16% Crit Rate boost (which can make getting sub-stats on relics easier) and a 40% ATK buff after defeating an enemy. Other viable light cone options are:
Dr. Ratio’s Team Comps
As a DPS unit who is highly flexible,Dr. Ratio’s best team compswill tend to follow a template: someone who can debuff to trigger his follow-up attacks, a buffer, and a flex slot for either healing or shielding. Almost any character can find utility in a team with him, so free-to-play players do not need to worry. Even March 7th as a shielder can be just fine until there are better options. Some of his best teammates will be:
Dr. Ratio’s Eidolons
As a unit that was given to players for free but also has a banner currently up, players may wonder if it’s worth it to go forHonkai: Star Rail’s Dr. Ratio’s Eidolons. At E0, he’s perfectly fine, and it may be more worthwhile to pull for his signature light cone if players are debating between that and Eidolons. His early on Eidolons are fine, but it’s his later ones that really shine. His best will be:
