Honkai: Star Rail character guide
March 7th Best Build
An Ice shielder who raises ally aggro, counters attackers and can Freeze the whole enemy team.
March 7th build overview
March 7th is a Ice Preservation character commonly used for sustain, shield, counter. The recommended build focuses on the part of the kit used most often while keeping the team rotation reliable.
Use Knight of Purity Palace as the primary Relic set and Belobog of the Architects as the Planar Ornament. Recommended main stats are DEF% / Effect Hit Rate, SPD / DEF%, DEF%, Energy Regen. Secure important Speed, Effect Hit Rate or Break Effect requirements first when the kit needs them, then improve the character's main scaling and offensive or defensive substats.
Light Cones and alternatives
Day One of My New Life is the premium Light Cone because its passive is designed around March 7th's core mechanics. The build remains functional without it. Landau's Choice and Trend of the Universal Market provide practical alternatives when their passives stay active in the selected team. Strong Relic stats can be more valuable than forcing a theoretical equipment upgrade with poor synergy.
Recommended teams
- Premium team: Clara, March 7th, Tingyun, Huohuo. This formation keeps March 7th in the core role while covering damage amplification, turn economy and sustain.
- Alternative team: Yanqing, March 7th, Pela, Natasha. This formation keeps March 7th in the core role while covering damage amplification, turn economy and sustain.
- Accessible team: March 7th, Asta, Pela, Gallagher. This formation keeps March 7th in the core role while covering damage amplification, turn economy and sustain.
When replacing a teammate, preserve the same job rather than copying rarity alone: keep the required buffer or debuffer, maintain Skill Point economy and add a sustain suited to the encounter.
Trace priority
- Lower priority: Frigid Cold Arrow
- High priority: The Power of Cuteness
- Highest priority: Glacial Cascade
- High priority: Girl Power
- Lower priority: Freezing Beauty
Raise the ability that defines March 7th's main role first. Lower-impact abilities can remain below maximum until the character, Light Cone and important teammates have received their guaranteed upgrades.
Investment advice
Start with character and Light Cone levels, major Traces and correct main stats before extended Relic farming. An E0 build with a suitable alternative Light Cone is intended to be complete. Signature equipment and Eidolons are premium upgrades and should be compared with improvements to the rest of the account.
Frequently asked questions
Does March 7th need the signature Light Cone?

What is the most important build rule?
Meet the character's functional stat requirements first, then improve damage or utility without breaking team order and resource management.
