Honkai: Star Rail Kafka Speed Perfect Guide: Relic & Light Cone Build Compilation
This video provides an in-depth analysis of Kafka's speed setup in Honkai: Star Rail. It presents the optimal speed thresholds when using various relic sets (Hunter4, Prisoner4) and signature Light Cones, and explains in detail how to maximize the number of actions within one round. It also covers setup tips considering speed buff elements within the party and how to check decimal speeds.
1. Kafka Relic and Speed Setup Overview: Hunter4 vs Prisoner4
- ✅ Hunter of Glacial Forest 4-piece set: A high-potential setup that maximizes the efficiency of DoT refresh by increasing Kafka's number of actions.
- ✅ Prisoner in Deep Confinement 4-piece set: A setup that increases Kafka's sub-DPS output.
- ⚠️ 2+2 sets are temporary choices.
- ⚠️ The speed threshold varies depending on whether you use the Hunter of Glacial Forest 4-piece set.

2. 🥇 Best-in-Slot Kafka Speed Setup: Resolution Shines As Pearls of Sweat Light Cone + Hunter4 + 167 Speed
- ✅ Combination of the event-distributed Light Cone 'Resolution Shines As Pearls of Sweat' and the Hunter of Glacial Forest 4-piece set.
- ✅ Kafka Speed 167 (strictly speaking, 166.67, but in-game, aim for 167 or higher)
- ✅ If you can't achieve this setup, you need to set specific speed goals.
01:06 - 02:02
3. Detailed Analysis of Hunter of Glacial Forest 4-piece Set Speed Threshold: Changes by Ultimate Usage Count
- ✅ 167 or higher: 3 actions in 1 round (final goal)
- ✅ 160: 5 actions possible in 1 round when using Ultimate 4 times (theoretically)
- ✅ Speed threshold changes depending on the number of Ultimate uses (Hunter of Glacial Forest set effect)
- ✅ Recommended 'Resolution Shines As Pearls of Sweat' Light Cone: Easy to fill Ultimate
- ✅ In DoT parties, Himeko/Herta are responsible for the core damage, Kafka is responsible for refreshing DoTs.
02:03 - 02:40
4. Prisoner in Deep Confinement 4-piece Set Speed Threshold: Comparative Analysis of 134, 143, 160
- ✅ Previous videos recommended 160 or higher (4 actions in 1 round)
- ✅ If it's difficult to match speed or you have Inert Salsotto: Recommend 134 or higher (2 actions in 1 round)
- ✅ If 134 is too slow: 143 or higher (3/5 actions possible)
| Speed | Description |
|---|---|
| 134+ | 2 actions in 1 round, consider equipping Inert Salsotto |
| 143+ | 3/5 actions possible |
| 160+ | 4 actions in 1 round |
02:41 - 03:31
5. Additional Considerations When Utilizing Fermata Light Cone and Inert Salsotto Set
- ✅ Fermata Light Cone: 170+ Speed for full options
- ✅ 134 Speed Setup + Inert Salsotto: Adjust so that Kafka doesn't have the last turn.
- ✅ Speed setup so that at least one other ally has a turn after Kafka's last turn.
- ✅ Example: In a Himeko/Blade/Kafka/Trailblazer (Preservation) comp, Kafka should be even 1 point faster than Fire Trailblazer/Herta.
- ✅ Recover follow-up attack firing count when Kafka's turn ends, Fire Trailblazer/Herta are follow-up attack triggers.
03:32 - 04:15
6. Speed Setup When Using Kafka's Signature Light Cone: 1-Wave 'Who Cares' Strategy
- ✅ Reason for using Kafka's signature Light Cone: Speed stack warm-up process
- ✅ Ignore 1-wave warm-up (3 stacks from 2nd wave): You don't need to match speed by 14.4.
- ✅ Kafka's base speed 100, Light Cone 14.4% speed buff = 14.4pt increase
- ✅ Advantage: Easy and intuitive
04:16 - 04:54
7. Prisoner in Deep Confinement 4-piece Set + Signature Light Cone Kafka Setup: Chaos Wave Speed Threshold
- ✅ Speed threshold based on Chaos Wave
- ✅ 124 Speed: 2 actions in 1 round
- ✅ Assuming +6 speed for follow-up attack trigger ally
- ⚠️ Since the warm-up process varies for each individual, it is recommended to check and set up directly.
- ⚠️ Decimal calculation, rounded up in-game (124.9 -> 125 or higher)
04:55 - 05:10
8. How to Check Decimal Speed: Utilizing Enka
- ✅ Enka website: You can check character stats in decimal units by entering UID.
- ✅ You can check the displayed character stats by entering another person's UID.
05:11 - 05:57
9. Hunter4 + Signature Light Cone Kafka Speed Threshold: Considering Ultimate Count
- ✅ Speed threshold based on Chaos Wave
- ✅ The number next to the speed means the number of Ultimates.
- ✅ 6 actions in 1 round requiring 4 Ultimates is theoretically impossible.
- ⚠️ Since the signature Light Cone doesn't cycle Ultimates as well as 'Resolution Shines As Pearls of Sweat', you may not be able to fill the number of actions.
- ⚠️ Consider realistic Ultimate counts for reference.
- ⚠️ Recommended 'Resolution Shines As Pearls of Sweat' distributed Light Cone when setting up Hunter of Glacial Forest.
05:58 - 06:23
10. Considering Speed Buff Characters: Asta, Bronya, etc.
- ✅ Speed buff characters (Bronya's signature Light Cone, Asta E1, etc.) not considered.
- ✅ If there is a speed buff character in the party, you don't need to match as much speed.
- ✅ Kafka's base speed 100, 10% speed buff = You don't need to match speed by 10.
