Ideal Light Cones & Relics for Dr. Ratio
To get the best results out of Dr. Ratio, choosing the right Light Cone is extremely crucial. Baptism of Pure Thought is his Signature Light Cone. If you have the Stellar Jades to pull for the weapon, go for it. Or, if you are running low, check out the Honkai: Star Rail Top Up options. It flatly increases the Crit damage by 20% and, additionally, for every debuff on the enemy target, increases 6% the Crit damage (up to 3 stacks). When the character uses Ultimate to attack an enemy, their Damage increases by 36% and their follow-up attacks ignore 20% of the target’s Defense, lasting for 2 turns. If you are looking for alternatives, Worrisome Blissful is the next best choice, and Cruising in the Stellar Sea is the best F2P option available.
As for his ideal Relic Set, 4 Pieces of Ash Blazing Grand Duke accentuates his follow-up attacks, significantly increasing his damage each round. You could also go for Wastelander of Banditry Desert, which boosts Imaginary damage, as well as Crit Rate and Damage against debuffed enemies.
How To Get Dr. Ratio
Dr. Ratio will be given for free to every player in the mail when his banner is released in V1.6. This is an amazing opportunity for players to grab a limited 5-star at absolutely no cost. Therefore, there is no need to spend your stellar jades unless you are aiming for Eidolons, even though he is pretty solid without them.
