Best Moze Honkai Star Rail build: Relics, Light Cones, & team comp

A screenshot of Moze from his YouTube trailerHoYoverse

Moze is a 4-star Lightning DPS unit in Honkai Star Rail that was released alongside version 2.5.

Moze is a pretty powerful unit despite being a 4-star. His follow-up attacks can hit as hard as Topaz while he is quite good at being Skill Point neutral. Overall, he is one of the best units to pair alongside his own General, Feixiao.

Apart from that, Moze is featured in the first half of version 2.5, which makes it easy for players to get a hold of him. If you are looking for a good free-to-play unit to pair alongside Feixiao, Moze is the best option you have.
