March 7th is going to receive a new Path, The Hunt, in Honkai Star Rail version 2.4. Hunt March 7th is an Imaginary damage type character and a sub-DPS with good support skills. She can be a great addition to most Hypercarry teams and is very versatile as a character. If you are planning to build March 7th Hunt, here is a complete build guide to get the best out of her kit.
Honkai Star Rail Hunt March 7th Kit and Best Cycle Rotation
- My Sword Zaps Demons (Basic Attack): Attacks a single enemy, dealing Imaginary Damage equal to 100% of her Attack, and gains 1 point of Charge.
- Browse Be Smitten, Heart Be Bitten (Enhanced Basic Attack): Attacks a single enemy, initially dealing 3 hits, each causing Imaginary Damage equal to 80% of her Attack. After dealing the final hit, she has a 60% fixed chance to deal 1 extra hit (max 3 extra hits). The extra hits don’t regenerate energy and her Enhanced Basic Attack does not recover Skill Points.
- Shifu, It’s Tea Time! (Skill): Marks one ally of choice (excluding self) as Shifu, increasing their Speed by 10%. After marking an ally as Shifu, whenever she uses a Basic Attack or deals 1 hit of Enhanced Basic Attack’s damage, she triggers the corresponding effect based on the specific Path of the selected Shifu:
– Erudition, Destruction, Hunt: Deals Additional Damage of the damage type of the ally marked as Shifu, equal to 20% of March 7th’s Attack.
– Harmony, Nihility, Abundance, Preservation: Increases the Toughness Reduction of this instance of damage by 100%. - March 7th, the Apex Heroine (Ultimate): Attacks a single target, dealing Imaginary Damage equal to 240% of her Attack. Furthermore, increases the initial hits per action of the next Enhanced Basic Attack by 2 hits, and increases the Fixed chance of additional hits by 20%.
- Shifu, I’ve Ascended (Talent): March 7th gains one point of Charge (max 10 points) each time the ally marked as Shifu uses an attack or Ultimate. When she reaches 7 Points of charge, March 7th immediately takes action, changing her Basic Attack to the Enhanced Basic Attack, and increasing her damage dealt from this attack
- Feast in One Go (Technique): If March 7th is on the team, she gains 1 point of Charge at the start of the next battle whenever an ally uses Technique, up to a max of 3 points. March 7th also regenerates 30 Energy after using her Technique when the next battle starts.
Hunt March 7th has a strong Sub-DPS kit and she can be very effective in the correct teams. Her skill increases marks one ally as the Shifu and increases their speed by 10%. Now, whenever the ally marked as Shifu attacks an enemy or uses their Ultimate, March 7th gains one point of Charge. When she has 7 points of Charge, her basic attack changes to the enhanced form and she takes immediate action while also dealing increased damage from this attack.
Furthermore, after March 7th has marked an ally as Shifu, whenever she attacks an enemy, either of two effects occurs based on the Path of the Shifu. For example, she deals additional damage of the same damage type as the Shifu, equal to 20% of her Attack if the Shifu follows the path of Erudition, Destruction, or Hunt; otherwise, she increases the Toughness Reduction of this instance of damage by 100% if the Shify follows the Harmony, Nihility, Abundance, Preservation paths.
Furthermore, her Ultimate does a single target attack damage and also increases the number of hits from her next Enhanced attacks. Also, her Ascension 4 ability allows her to Toughness damage enemies with the same weakness type as the Shifu’s damage type, and her Ascension 6 ability increases the Shifu’s Crit Damage by 60% and Break Effect by 36% for two turns after using her Enhanced Attack.
Best Hunt March 7th Relics in HSR
Hunt March 7th can have two different builds — Break Effect and Crit Damage Build. Both builds are quite strong but have very different Relic and Stat requirements. Here I have given the proper options for both her playstyles.
Hunt March 7th Crit Build Relics
- Musketeer of Wild Wheat (4-Piece)
- Wastelander of Banditry Desert (4-Piece)
- Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters (4-Piece)
For Hunt March 7th’s Crit builds, the 4-piece Musketeer of Wild Wheat is a clear favorite, increasing her Attack, Speed, and Basic Attack damage, all of which her perfect for her kit. Other than that, the 4-piece Wastelander of Banditry Desert is also a great option as it increases the Imaginary Damage and additionally increases Crit Rate and Damage against debuffed enemies.
The Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters is a good alternative, as it increases the wearer’s Crit Rate by 4% and additionally increases their Crit Damage based on the number of debuffs on the enemy.
Hunt March 7th Break Effect Build Relics
- Iron Cavalry Against the Scourge (4-Piece)
- Iron Cavalry Against the Scourge and Thief of Shooting Meteor (2-piece each)
When it comes to her Break Effect build, the 4-piece Iron Cavalry Against the Scourge relic set is a clear favorite for Hunt March 7th, increasing the wearer’s Break Effect by 16% and also allowing them to meet enemy defenses by meeting specific Break Effect Thresholds.
Other than that, you can also use a 2-piece Iron Cavalry Against the Scourge and Thief of Shooting Meteor to get a straight 32% Break Effect increase.
Best Planar Ornaments for Hunt March 7th in HSR
Similar to her Relics, March 7th’s Hunt version also has different Planar Ornament requirements depending on her chosen build. Here is a quick look at both of her options.
Hunt March 7th Crit Build Planar Ornaments
- Rutilant Arena (2-Piece)
- Izumo Gensei and Takama Divine Realm (2-Piece)
The 2-piece Rutilant Arena is the best Planar Ornament set for Hunt March 7th if you are building her for a Crit build. It increases her Crit Rate by 8% and further increases her Basic Attack damage by 20% after meeting the 70% Crit Rate threshold.
The 2-piece Izumo Gensei and Takama Divine Realm is also a good option, but it is limited for teams with another Hunt character like March 7th.
Hunt March 7th Break Effect Build Planar Ornaments
- Talia: Kingdom of Banditry (2-piece)
- Forge of the Kalpagni Lantern (2-piece)
When it comes to Hunt March’s Break Effect build, the 2-piece Talia: Kingdom of Banditry is the best Planar Ornament set for her as it increases the wearer’s Break Effect by 16% and an additional 20% if they reach 145 speed or higher.
Other than that, the 2-piece Forge of the Kalpagni Lantern is another great option, but it only works against enemies with Fire weaknesses.

March 7th can have two different stat sets, depending on the best build you are using on her. For her Crit Build, use Crit body, Attack% feet, Imaginary Damage % Planar Sphere, and Attack % Link Rope. For her Crit Sub stats priority, try to reach 70% Crit rate or higher, 134 Speed, and the rest of the stats into her Crit Damage and Attack %.

Best Light Cones for Hunt March 7th Build in HSR
- Final Victor
- Swordplay
- Cruising in the Stellar Sea
- River Flows in Spring
- Sailing Towards a Second Life (5-star Break Effect option)
- Sleep Like the Dead (5-star Crit Option)
Hunt March 7th has some good Light Cone options. The Final Victor is her best Light Cone option if you can reach the 70% Crit Rate threshold. Swordplay is the best alternate Light Cone, dealing a ton of damage for March 7th’s kit. Other than that, the Cruising in the Stellar Ship 5-star Light Cone is the best F2P option, as it is easily obtainable from the Herta Store.
When it comes to the 5-star Light Cone option, there can be many choices but you won’t likely prioritize them for March 7th over their signature characters. Still, Sailing Towards a Second Life is the only Break Effect focused Hunt Light Cone for March, and Sleep Like the Dead is another good option if you have obtained it from the Standard banner.
