The Remembrance Trailblazer is a support-oriented form of the main character in Honkai: Star Rail. Unlike their Destruction and Preservation paths, this form focuses on summoning their companion Mem to provide teamwide buffs, action control, and additional true damage. Their value lies in empowering teammates rather than dealing damage directly, which makes building them correctly essential for unlocking their full potential. This guide breaks down how to optimize their light cones, relics, stats, and team compositions to get the best performance in every scenario.

Abilities and Playstyle

The Remembrance Trailblazer’s entire kit revolves around Mem, their summon. Using the skill either calls Mem into battle or restores its health and charge if already present. The ultimate powers Mem further, granting it charge and unleashing AoE Ice damage. Their talent allows Mem to generate charge whenever allies regenerate energy, rewarding teams that cycle ultimates quickly. Finally, their technique delays enemies before combat, giving your party the initiative.

In practice, this means the Trailblazer should be played as an enabler. Your first action should nearly always be summoning Mem, and the rest of the fight is about maintaining its charge and timing its buffs to align with your main damage dealer’s turns. Mem’s survival is crucial, so relics and supports that provide durability or healing indirectly protect the Trailblazer’s effectiveness.

Trace and Eidolon Priorities

When upgrading traces, focus first on those that enhance Mem’s charge and efficiency. Rhapsode’s Scepter and Petite Parable are particularly impactful because they let Mem build charge faster and advance turns sooner. Traces that improve basic attacks should be left until last since damage is not the Trailblazer’s main role.

For eidolons, E1 is a game-changer, boosting Crit Rate for allies with Mem’s support. E2 is also strong, regenerating energy when allied summons act, making it especially good in summon-heavy compositions. The final eidolon guarantees critical hits on the ultimate, but this is less important given the Trailblazer’s utility-first design. Most players will find the first two eidolons sufficient to unlock the character’s full potential.

Best Light Cones

Light cones are central to shaping the Remembrance Trailblazer’s build. Since they scale off Crit DMG and team buffs, the right cone dramatically improves performance.

• Victory In a Blink is the premier choice, giving Crit DMG and increasing allies’ damage whenever Mem uses its support.
• Memory’s Curtain Never Falls is another strong option, boosting overall ally damage while providing solid base stats.
• Time Woven Into Gold rewards high speed and builds Crit DMG over time, suiting fast-paced teams.
• Shadowburn is a good alternative for early-game players, offering energy regeneration and skill point recovery when summoning Mem.

The goal is to pick a cone that enhances Crit DMG scaling while providing utility for the team.

Relics, Ornaments, and Stats

Relics should prioritize both team utility and personal survivability. The World-Remaking Deliverer set is often the best choice, increasing the Trailblazer’s HP and buffing allies when Mem is active. The Hero of Triumphant Song set is also excellent, adding SPD and Crit DMG when Mem attacks. Players without full sets can mix two-piece speed options such as Messenger Traversing Hackerspace and Sacerdos’ Relived Ordeal.

For planar ornaments, Sprightly Vonwacq is the standout option, as its action advance ensures the Trailblazer can summon Mem early in battle. Broken Keel is another strong set if you can achieve sufficient Effect RES, granting Crit DMG buffs to the entire team.

When it comes to stats, prioritize Crit DMG on the body, Speed on the feet, and Energy Regeneration on the link rope. For the planar sphere, HP% is generally safer, though Ice DMG can be used if you want to add some damage. Substats should heavily favor speed, Crit DMG, and energy regeneration.

Team Synergies

The Remembrance Trailblazer works best in teams built around energy cycling and crit-heavy damage dealers. DPS units with high ultimate costs, such as The Herta, Jingliu, Argenti, and Jade, make ideal partners since they maximize Mem’s buffs. Sunday is a strong synergy pick thanks to his ability to boost summons and regenerate energy, while Huohuo provides healing and further energy support.

For free-to-play players, the Trailblazer can still shine in budget-friendly teams by pairing with any strong DPS, a healer, and a secondary support. Their kit adapts easily to most lineups, which makes them one of the more flexible units available.

Strengths and Weaknesses

• Strengths: Excellent team buffs, strong turn control through action advancement, free to obtain, and highly scalable with future Remembrance characters.
• Weaknesses: Low personal damage output, heavily reliant on Mem’s survival, and requires strong relic rolls in speed and Crit DMG to perform optimally.
  

The Remembrance Trailblazer is a support powerhouse that elevates teammates through buffs, turn control, and energy synergy. Their free availability makes them accessible to all players, while their unique playstyle rewards careful team building and timing. By focusing on Crit DMG, speed, and energy regeneration, and pairing them with burst-oriented DPS units, you can transform the Remembrance Trailblazer into a vital piece of your endgame roster. With investment, they stand out as one of the most future-proof support options in Honkai: Star Rail. For the best gaming experience, play Honkai: Star Rail on BlueStacks!
