Okay, he may not win every battle, but he\u2019s more than willing to put his life on the line to protect those around him, and sees the scars he\u2019s earned as badges of honour, reminding him of his purpose. <\/p>\n<p>But regardless of how brave or skilled the head of the Herta Space Station\u2019s security department is, no one should have to shoulder such responsibility alone. Luckily, with the help of our <strong>Honkai Star Rail Arlan<\/strong> build guide, you can help lift some of the weight off his shoulders, by getting familiar with all of his attacks and eidolons, and equipping him with the best light cones and relics.

He\u2019s stoic, inarticulate, and doesn\u2019t really understand the scientific research being carried out by his fellow space station inhabitants, but he wears his scars like battles of honour, considering them a reminder of his ability to protect everyone. Despite his serious demeanour, he can be seen letting down his guard and cracking a rare smile whenever his little dog Peppy is in his arms. <\/p>\n<p>Arlan is a four-star lightning wielder who treads the path of the Destruction. His English voice actor is Dani Chambers, and his Japanese voice actor is Shiraishi Ryoko. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pockettactics.com\/wp-content\/sites\/pockettactics\/2022\/06\/honkai-star-rail-arlan-2.jpg\" class=\"gallery\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class><\/span><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-legion-featured-2022 wp-image-42852 lazyload\" title=\"honkai-star-rail-arlan-2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pockettactics.com\/wp-content\/themes\/legion\/dist\/images\/lazyload_placeholder.svg\" alt=\"Honkai Star Rail Arlan splash art showing him with his little dog\" width=\"550\" height=\"309\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.pockettactics.com\/wp-content\/sites\/pockettactics\/2022\/06\/honkai-star-rail-arlan-2-550x309.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<h2>What\u2019s the best Honkai Star Rail Arlan build?<\/h2>\n<p>Arlan is a lightning wielding DPS with high damage and low survivability, and plays the role of a glass cannon in most scenarios. He specialises in taking down single targets, and his skill sees him sacrifice a portion of his HP in order to deal more damage, though he can\u2019t use this skill if his HP is insufficient. His passive also sees his damage increase based on his lost HP. <\/p>\n<p>As such, it\u2019s important to pick the right healer for Arlan\u2019s team. We advise against pairing him up with Honkai Star Rail\u2019s Luocha, as his Abyss Flower skill triggers when an ally falls below 50% HP, which interferes with Arlan\u2019s abilities. Honkai Star Rail\u2019s Natasha is more fitting for the role, as you can control when she heals her allies, and her ultimate is a great emergency button if Arlan\u2019s health falls too low to use his skill. <\/p>\n<p>As of the beta, we recommend prioritising attack, HP, and lightning damage boost stats when building Arlan. The reason we recommend HP is because his buffs and skills are based on a percentage of his max HP rather than a flat rate, so ensuring he has high max HP means he can fall below the required threshold without being at risk of dying in one hit. However, we\u2019re still testing builds, so this is subject to change in the game\u2019s full release. <\/p>\n<p>When it comes to team comps, we recommend pairing him with another DPS and a buffer or support in addition to Honkai Star Rail\u2019s Natasha, but you should avoid keeping him consistently shielded unless his HP is within the required range. <\/p>\n<h2>Which light cone should I use for Honkai Star Rail\u2019s Arlan?<\/h2>\n<p>The four-star light cone A Secret Vow is tailored to Arlan\u2019s kit, both increasing his flat damage and allowing him to deal extra damage when an enemy has a higher HP percentage than him, which, due to his skills, is likely to be almost always active. However, if you can\u2019t get your hands on A Secret Vow for whatever reason, you can equip him with any light cone that aligns with the path of The Destruction, preferably one that also boosts his attack. <\/p>\n<div class=\"table-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"table-rail\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Light cone<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Effect<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>How to obtain<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span>A Secret Vow<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span>Increases Arlan\u2019s damage dealt by 20%.

For substats, we once again recommend aiming for more attack, HP, and lightning damage. After this, you should ensure that he has a decent crit rate\/crit damage ratio and some extra energy restoration. <\/p>\n<div class=\"table-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"table-rail\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Relic<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Effect<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>How to obtain<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span>Band of Sizzling Thunder<\/span><\/td>\n<td><b>Two equipped: <\/b><span>increases lightning damage by 12% <\/span><span><br \/><\/span><b>Four equipped: <\/b><span>the enemy receives 40% more shock damage from Arlan.
