Aglaea dropped into Honkai: Star Rail as the game’s first real Remembrance damage dealer – and honestly, nailing her setup turns her from a quirky summoner into a wave-clearing machine. I’ve sunk hours tweaking combos with her Garmentmaker sidekick, and it boils down to syncing her speed and energy just right.
Understanding Aglaea’s Core Mechanics
Get her mechanics down before stacking relics – her style doesn’t match other DPS at all.
The Garmentmaker Dynamic
Aglaea calls out a memosprite named Garmentmaker that fights like its own unit. Her attacks slap “Seam Stitch” on foes, basically tagging them for the summon to chase. Garmentmaker locks onto those marks and tears in when its turn rolls around.
It ramps up fast too: hitting a marked enemy nets Garmentmaker a speed stack, each one tacking on 55 speed (up to 6 for 330 extra total). That sluggish-looking ally flips into a blur across the field.
Supreme Stance – Her True Power Mode
Her Ultimate kicks off Supreme Stance, and that’s when she really shines. She pulls in Garmentmaker’s speed stacks, but scaled to 15% speed per stack. Maxed out? You’re looking at a nuts 90% speed surge.
One hitch though – that Ultimate drains 350 energy, way steeper than usual.
Still, in this mode her Basic Attack upgrades to a Joint Attack, letting her and Garmentmaker double-team targets. It skips Skill Point use and hits twice for procs, which amps everything up.
The stance runs on a 100-speed countdown. When it ticks out, Garmentmaker blows up and the mode drops. You can hit Ultimate again early to refresh it though.
Best Light Cones for Aglaea
Her signature crushes it, but solid backups keep things rolling if you’re short on pulls.
Time Woven Into Gold (Signature) – The Clear Winner
Tailored straight for her flow. It dishes base speed (12-20 by superimposition), easing breakpoint hunts. Attacks from her or Garmentmaker build “Brocade” stacks – up to 6, each adding 9-15% CRIT DMG.
Full stacks also crank Basic Attack damage by 9-15% more. With her kit leaning hard on that powered-up Basic in Supreme Stance, it snowballs your numbers hard.
Around 83% of players stick with this one – smart move, since the speed frees up relic slots for damage.
Sweat Now, Cry Less – Excellent Alternative
Kicks off with 12-20% CRIT Rate, locking in reliable crits. Memosprite out means 24-36% damage for both her and Garmentmaker.
Cuts down on relic pressure for CRIT Rate. Plenty of endgame clears prove it holds up fine.
Budget Options That Actually Work
- Geniuses’ Greetings – Solid ATK% (16-32%) and 20-40% Basic Attack damage for three turns post-Ultimate. Fits her spam pattern perfectly
- Reminiscence – Memosprite actions build Commemoration stacks; up to 4 for 8-12% damage each. Total F2P win
Optimal Relic and Planar Ornament Setup
Hero of Triumphant Song (4-piece) – No contest here. Built for Remembrance kits like hers.
Bonuses hit:
- ATK% and speed when memosprite’s up
- Garmentmaker hits juice CRIT DMG for the pair
97% of players run this – the fit’s too tight to ignore. Anything else just drags her down.
Planar Ornament Choices
The Wondrous BananAmusement Park – Top pick for damage punch. CRIT DMG base, plus more with a summon (always the case here). Scales right into her multipliers.
Rutilant Arena – Good if CRIT Rate’s tight. Adds CRIT Rate and Basic/Skill damage once at 70% CRIT Rate.
Firmament Frontline: Glamoth – Speed-build niche. Hits extra at breakpoints, but BananAmusement Park usually edges it out. 
Stat Priorities and Main Stats
Main Stats (in order of importance):
- Body: CRIT Rate
or CRIT DMG (favor Rate without specific cones) - Feet: SPD (must-have)
- Sphere: Lightning DMG (straightforward)
- Rope: Energy Regeneration or ATK% (go Energy for the 350 cost)
Substat Priority:
SPD (to breakpoint) > CRIT Rate ≈ CRIT DMG > ATK% > Energy Regen
Target Numbers You Should Aim For
From testing builds head-to-head, these click:
- CRIT Rate: Push toward 100%; settle for 70-75% floor
- CRIT DMG: 120-140%+ (chase higher)
- ATK: 2400-2600 before buffs does the trick
- SPD: Needs its section – it’s tricky…
Speed Tuning (This Makes or Breaks Your Performance)
Breakpoints tie to team and cone. Common cases:
With Sunday (Your Best Friend)
Two paths:
- Slow Aglaea सेटअप:
- Aglaea: 102 SPD (base, minimal push)
- Sunday: 160 SPD
- Logic: Sunday handles advances, freeing stats for offense
- Fast Aglaea Setup:
- Aglaea: ~163 SPD (signature or boots)
- Sunday: 135 SPD
- Logic: She squeezes extra turns solo between boosts
Guides push Aglaea 1 SPD over turn-advance allies. Keeps action flow clean – she acts, gets pushed, acts again clean.
Common Breakpoints
134/135 and 160/161 pop up in tweaks. They sync turn loops with teams. Most folks land at 135 SPD base, scaling to 161+ for speedier runs.
Major Traces You Need to Unlock
Three bonuses shift her core:
- The Myopic’s Doom – Stance turns speed to ATK: 720% of Aglaea’s SPD plus 360% of Garmentmaker’s SPD. Speed feeds damage direct.
- Last Thread of Fate – Garmentmaker gone? Keep one stack, regain on resummon. No zero-start resets.
- The Speeding Sol – Under 50% energy at start? Bump to 50%. Eases first Ultimate timing.
Trace Level Priorities
Focus resources smart – some traces carry her, others sit.
Absolute Priority (max these first):
- Basic Attack (Thorned Nectar) – Powers the Joint Attack in stance
- Talent (Rosy-Fingered) – Handles marks and extra hits
- Ultimate (Dance, Destined Weaveress) – Unlocks stance and perks
Secondary Priority:
- Skill (Rise, Exalted Renown) – Low use post-Ultimate; save it
Memosprite Abilities (equally important as your main traces):
- Memosprite Skill (Thorned Snare) – Garmentmaker’s output
- Memosprite Talent (A Body Brewed by Tears) – Builds key speed stacks
Team Compositions That Actually Work
Her output hinges on backup. She’s no lone wolf – needs the right crew to rev her up.
Premium Team (Optimal Performance)
Core Trio:
- Aglaea (Main DPS)
- Sunday (Harmony support)
- Robin (Harmony support)
- Sustain (Huohuo / Gallagher / Aventurine )
Sunday’s near-essential: turn pushes and 70 energy per Ultimate (20% of her max). It irons out energy flow for endless stance chains.
Robin layers more advances and buffs the duo. Joint Attacks proc her Concerto twice – pure gold.
Sunday boosts her ceiling huge – top teams always pair them.
Free-to-Play Friendly Alternative
- Aglaea (Main DPS)
- Remembrance Trailblazer E2 (True DMG buffs and advances)
- Asta (ATK and speed lifts)
- Lynx (heals and cleanses)
Won’t top premium, but it pulls weight. E2 Trailblazer adds real punch, Asta fills gaps, Lynx holds the line.
Other Viable Supports Worth Mentioning
- Huohuo: 70 energy Ultimate (20% max) and heals – top battery
- Tingyun : Energy and ATK to keep Ultimates flowing
- Bronya : Advances, but Skill skips memosprites (clunky)
- Pela : DEF breaks to spike whole-team hits
Eidolons – Where to Stop
E1 (Drift at the Whim of Venus) – The Big One
Seam Stitch foes eat 15% more damage. Key part: 20 energy regen per hit on marks from her or Garmentmaker.
It fixes energy woes and ups damage in one go. Best halt for spenders – smooths her play huge.
E2 through E5 tweak things – DEF ignore, levels, extra stack cap. Solid, not must-haves.
E6 (Fluctuate in the Tapestry of Fates) – Whale Territory
20% Lightning RES PEN in stance. Joint damage climbs with speed:
- 160 SPD: +10% damage
- 240 SPD: +30% damage
- 320 SPD: +60% damage
Tests clock E6 at 395% damage over E0 (single target, 5 cycles). Wild jump, but investment-heavy.
Gameplay Tips From Experience
Rotation Basics:
- Technique pre-fight (summons Garmentmaker, 30 energy, random mark)
- Stack to Ultimate (Basics for marks)
- Fire Ultimate (stance on, stacks in)
- Hammer Joint Attacks in stance
- Re-Ultimate pre-timer end
- Loop 4-5 till clear
Energy Management:
350 energy hits hard. No support means stance gaps. That’s why Energy Rope and Sunday/Huohuo lock in – they’re core, not extras.
Signature cone plus Sunday tames it. Miss them, and Ultimates lag.
Don’t Sleep on Speed
Speed isn’t a trade-off here – The Myopic’s Doom makes it ATK fuel. Roll speed harder than on standard DPS.
Pros and Cons (Real Talk)
What Makes Her Great:
- Blazing turns in stance
- Joint hits double procs (Robin synergy pops)
- No Skill Points in stance
- Clean loop under the flash
- Self-stacks speed and ATK huge
Where She Falls Short:
- Weak pre-stances (dead weight charging)
- Energy thirst ties her to niche allies
- Peaks with limited supports like Sunday
- E1 and sig cone leap her up (rough without)
- Garmentmaker draws fire (can drop)
Material Requirements (Quick Reference)
Full ascension needs:
| Material | Total Amount |
|---|---|
| Fear-Stomped Flesh | 15 |
| Courage-Torn Chest | 15 |
| Nail of the Beast Coffin | 65 |
| Glory-Aspersed Torso | 15 |
| Credits | 308,000 |
Traces eat more – around 3,000,000 credits plus stacks of tiers. Plan pulls ahead.
Final Thoughts
Aglaea nails Remembrance DPS – high reward, fun to run, flashy as hell. But she needs tuned teams to hit stride.
With Sunday in pocket, she’s top-tier shredder. Solo? She works but dips. Premium lean isn’t a bug – it’s her edge.
Once it gels, her and Garmentmaker blitzing at top speed with endless Joints hooks you. Nail energy first, or you’ll idle too much.
Rig her solid, team her sharp, and keep this handy – it’s all the intel packed in. Hit the field and light it up.
