The Morning Starlight is the newest event in Honkai Star Rail. It features several stages that players must conquer to acquire their associated rewards.

As the Morning Starlight event features multiple stages, players might wonder what the best teams are for each challenge.

This article will take a look at the best teams that you should build to complete the Morning Starlight event in Honkai Star Rail.

A guide for the Morning Starlight event in Honkai Star Rail

As mentioned earlier, the Morning Starlight event in Honkai Star Rail features several stages, seven to be precise. Each stage will become available daily, featuring a new set of challenge and trial characters.

Day 1 Hunting Hour

With the event now live, the first stage, Hunting Hour, can be challenged by players. Here are some teams that will help you clear the first stage:

Mydei, Tribbie, Gallagher, Sunday

Since Hunting Hour features Mydei, Tribbie, and Gallagher as the trial characters, players can easily build a good team with them. To enhance the team’s fighting prowess, we have decided to place Sunday as the secondary buffer. As the stage’s unique buff boosts the first character’s HP and allows them to deal an absurd amount of damage to enemies, Mydei is a solid pick for the team.

On the other hand, Gallagher can easily deal a decent amount of Break damage while also keeping Mydei’s HP from dropping to zero.

Mydei, Remembrance Trailblazer, Tribbie, Gallagher

If you don’t have a premium character like Sunday, Remembrance Trailblazer is an excellent alternative. They grant a decent amount of CRIT DMG boost to the DPS unit, in this case, Mydei, boosting his damage significantly.

Similar to the abovementioned team, Gallagher will make sure Mydei survives the fight, while dealing a substantial amount of Break damage.

Castorice, Tribbie, Sunday/Remembrance MC, Gallagher

Since Hunting Hour’s unique buff benefits the HP-scaling characters, you can replace the DPS character with Castorice. With her abilities also scaling with HP, she can deal a significant amount of damage to enemies.

In this Hypercarry team composition, Tribbie and Sunday/Remembrance MC will focus on boosting this Remembrance unit’s outgoing damage. The former can also deal a decent bit of damage with her follow-up attack. Meanwhile, Gallagher will ensure all of his team members’ safety. If you don’t have Castorice, you can just use other DPS units that scale with HP.

Day 2 Circle of Life and Death

Castorice, Tribbie, Sunday, Luocha

In the Circle of Life and Death stage, whenever a character heals an ally, their HP will get depleted instead. However, the allied characters won’t get knocked down when their HP falls to zero. Since Castorice gets her charge whenever an ally receives healing or takes a hit, the effect will help her summon her memosprite significantly faster.

Tribbie’s RES PEN buffs allow her to deal a significant amount of damage, while Luocha can consistently grant Castorice Newbud charge. Additionally, Sunday can grant both Castorice and her memosprite a CRIT DMG boost.

Castorice, Tribbie, Remembrance Trailblazer, Luocha

This Castorice team composition works similarly to the above-mentioned one. The Remembrance character is the main DPS unit, and Tribbie assists her in the battle with her buffs. Like Sunday, Remembrance Trailblazer also boosts Castorice’s outgoing damage by a significant amount. Again, Luocha will deplete his allies’ HP to grant Castorice Newbud charge.

Castorice, Tribbie, Gallagher, Luocha

In this particular team composition for the Circle of Life and Death stage in the Honkai: Star Rail Morning Starlight event, we decided to place two healers to grant Castorice even more Newbud charge. While this Remembrance unit and Tribbie work together, Gallagher and Luocha help the DPS character gain a significant amount of Newbud charge by lowering their allies’ HP.

Day 3 Infinite Battleground

Anaxa and The Herta are here (Image via HoYoverse)

The Herta, Anaxa, Asta, Gallagher

Since you’ll get The Herta and Anaxa as the trial characters, you can easily build a couple of extraordinary teams by using these units. One such is this composition featuring the Genius Society member and the recently released 5-star Erudition unit.

While both The Herta and Anaxa are busy fighting, Asta can boost their ATK with her abilities, while Gallagher can occasionally deal Break damage and ensure his allies’ safety.

The Herta, Anaxa, Asta, Huohuo

In this team composition for the Infinite Battleground stage in the Honkai: Star Rail Morning Starlight event, Huohuo fills the healer/buffer role. Like the team above, Anaxa and The Herta will work together to deal a significant amount of damage.

Asta will provide the DPS units with buffs, while Huohuo boosts their ATK and heals their health simultaneously.

The Herta, Anaxa, Ruan Mei, Gallagher

If you do not have Huohuo, Gallagher is an excellent choice due to how strong his kit is. Besides Asta, Ruan Mei is an excellent alternative, as her abilities can grant the whole team RES PEN. This is exceptionally powerful with Anaxa because he can inflict various Weakness Types on the enemies.

On the other hand, Gallagher replenishes his allies’ HP to make sure they stay alive throughout the fight.

Day 4 Echoes of Storm

Try Aglaea (Image via HoYoverse)

Aglaea, Sunday, Tribbie, Huohuo

Since the stage buff of Echoes of Storm in the Honkai: Star Rail Morning Starlight event greatly benefits the characters with memosprites, in this case, Aglaea, as the memosprite can deal an exceptional amount of damage every time an ally character triggers their Ultimate. Because of that, Huohuo is an exceptional pair for Aglaea.

Besides the buffs from the stage, both Sunday and Tribbie can boost Aglaea’s damage by a significant amount with their abilities.

Aglaea, Sunday, Ruan Mei, Huohuo

If you don’t have access to Tribbie, Ruan Mei is an excellent alternative. This Harmony unit can grant Aglaea RES PEN, which will boost her outgoing damage by a significant amount. Besides that, Sunday will work with Ruan Mei to boost the Remembrance character’s damage output.

While others are busy fighting, Huohuo regenerates a portion of her allies’ Ultimate Energy and heals them simultaneously.

Aglaea, Sunday, Tingyun, Huohuo

Since you need to trigger a character’s Ultimate often for the additional memosprite damage, we have decided to place Tingyun as the second Harmony unit. Like the previous teams for this stage, Aglaea will prioritize attacking the adversaries, while Sunday boosts her and her memosprite’s CRIT DMG.

Similar to Tingyun, Huohuo will replenish a decent amount of Energy so all allies can use their Ultimates frequently.

Day 5 Venomous Feast

Kafka, Black Swan, Ruan Mei, Gallagher

Players get access to the DoT units in the Venomous Feast stage in the Honkai: Star Rail Morning Starlight event. Since both Kafka and Black Swan can inflict a significant amount of DoT debuffs, they can easily boost their own damage.

Since Kafka and Black Swan’s attacks are supposed to hit CRITs whenever they hit an enemy with a debuff, you can pair them with Ruan Mei’s RES PEN buff to boost their damage. Additionally, Gallagher is a reliable healer who can easily provide healing and deal some damage at the same time.

Kafka, Black Swan, Ruan Mei, Aventurine

Instead of Gallagher, we decided to place Aventurine in this team composition for the Venomous Feast stage in the Honkai: Star Rail Morning Starlight event. Since the DPS units’ CRIT DMG will get boosted by an exceptional amount, Aventurine can further boost the stat with his Ultimate.

Besides that, Aventurine can also give shields to his allies, which can also be stacked.

Kafka, Black Swan, Ruan Mei, Huohuo

If you don’t have Aventurine, you can happily use Huohuo as an alternative. Her kit allows her to buff her allies’ ATK and regenerate a decent amount of their Ultimate Energy. It allows Kafka, Black Swan, and Ruan Mei to trigger their Ultimates more frequently than usual.

Besides that, Huohuo can also heal her allies to make sure they are healthy while fighting.

Day 6 Moment of Awakening

Anaxa, Tribbie, Robin, Huohuo

Since the Moment of Awakening stage in the Honkai: Star Rail Morning Starlight event features Anaxa, Tribbie, and Robin as the trial characters, players just need a sustainer/healer to start the challenge. For the DPS unit, Huohuo is the perfect healer/buffer as she can restore her allies’ HP and grant them various buffs.

Since Huohuo’s buffs are ATK-related, we decided to place her in this team since Anaxa can utilize some additional ATK.

Anaxa, Jade, Robin, Aventurine

Besides Huohuo, you can use any healers/sustainers with Anaxa. As players will have access to Robin, we recommend using Jade with her. Because of that, you can use Aventurine as the team’s sustainer to make sure every character survives the fight.

Additionally, Aventurine will boost his allies’ CRIT DMG against an adversary with his Ultimate.

Anaxa, Tribbie, Robin, Gallagher

If you are going to utilize all three trial characters, then we recommend Gallagher as the healer. He can easily deal a decent amount of Break Damage since Anaxa can place Weakness Types on the enemies, including Fire. Besides that, Gallagher can also heal his allies to make sure they stay alive until the end of the fight.

Day 7 Chain Breaker

Firefly, Fugue, Ruan Mei, Gallagher

Since the stage buff of the Chain Breaker stage of the Honkai Star Rail Morning Starlight boosts the characters’ Break damage, this Firefly Hypercarry team is the one you should build with the trial characters. With Firefly’s ability to plant Fire Weakness on the enemies, she can deal a bit more damage than other Break Effect DPS units.

Fugue and Ruan Mei can further boost Firefly’s damage with their abilities. Lastly, Gallagher can simultaneously boost his allies’ Break DMG and deal a decent amount of damage.

Firefly, Fugue, Harmony Trailblazer, Gallagher

If you don’t have Ruan Mei added to your collection, then you can replace her with Harmony Trailblazer. They can boost their allies’ damage, in this case, Firefly, by a significant amount. Moreover, Fugue will further increase Firefly’s Break Effect to help her deal a decent amount of damage.

Gallagher is the healer of this team, who makes sure every ally is able to survive the fight.

Firefly, Ruan Mei, Fugue, Lingsha

Since Break Effect teams are popular among players, many Trailblazers likely have Lingsha in their collection. Like in the teams mentioned above, Fugue and Ruan Mei work to amplify Firefly’s damage output. Meanwhile, Lingsha contributes high damage and heals all her teammates simultaneously, making her a powerful and versatile pick.
