Here is a detailed guide for the unit Huohuo during her rerun in Honkai Star Rail version 2.4, including her best Light Cones, Relic, and team comp.
Huohuo is the best healer unit in Honkai Star Rail. Her healing is amazing, but her ATK boost is something that makes her a very good support. The Honkai Star Rail meta has reached a point where a healer without any utility is not enough, which makes Huohuo’s kit even more valuable.
She can function with units such as Kafka, Acheron, and Firefly which elevates her to S-tier. Therefore, if you are willing to get Huohuo in the game, we have got you covered.

Best Huohuo team comp
Huohuo is a support and can function with a wide range of units. However, the best characters you can pair her with are Kafka, Black Swan, and Ruan Mei. Huohuo is the premium support for DoT teams and she can enable Kafka and Black Swan massively.
Additionally, Ruan Mei also enhances the damage output of the team quite a lot. Additionally, you can also run Huohuo alongside Acheron, Pela, and Silver Wolf. The same principle works here as well since the ATK boost benefits Acheron quite a lot.
Apart from that, you can run Huohuo in almost any team you want as she is quite versatile.
