March 7th • The Hunt — Honkai Star Rail Character Guide

Overview

Dual-mode sub-DPS who designates an ally as Shifu and adapts her kit to their Path — CRIT carry with damage-path Shifu or Break DPS with support-path Shifu. Completely SP-positive after initial Skill, with built-in action advances and Shifu CRIT/Break buffs. All six Eidolons freely available.

Dual-mode sub-DPS who designates an ally as Shifu via Skill and adapts her Enhanced Basic ATK based on Shifu's Path. Damage-path Shifu (Hunt, Destruction, Erudition, Remembrance) grants Additional DMG per hit; support-path Shifu (Harmony, Nihility, Preservation, Abundance) grants +100% Toughness Reduction per hit. Accumulates Charge from Shifu's attacks and Ultimates, then action advances at 7 Charge to deliver a multi-hit Enhanced Basic. Entirely SP-positive after the opening Skill.

Key Mechanics

• March's primary damage source is Enhanced Basic ATK, which costs 0 SP and generates 30 Energy. After the opening Skill (-1 SP), she is fully SP-positive for the rest of combat, freeing team SP for expensive supports.
• Shifu Path determines March's role: damage-path Shifu (Hunt, Destruction, Erudition, Remembrance) adds 20% ATK Additional DMG per hit for CRIT carry builds; support-path Shifu (Harmony, Nihility, Preservation, Abundance) adds +100% Toughness Reduction per hit for Super Break builds.
• A4 Filigree lets March deal Toughness damage matching Shifu's element, making her flexible against any Weakness type. Breaking enemies this way triggers Imaginary Break, not the Shifu's element Break.
• Charge generation scales with Shifu's action frequency. Fast-acting Shifu (high SPD Gallagher, Topaz + Numby dual actions) give March Enhanced Basic access much sooner. E2 adds a follow-up attack after Shifu uses Basic ATK or Skill, further accelerating Charge.
• Super Break March requires Harmony Trailblazer — March has high Toughness output via +100% Toughness Reduction per hit but no intrinsic Super Break scaling. Without external Super Break support, Break damage is non-competitive.

CRIT Follow-up Attack

March as sub-DPS alongside a damage-path Shifu (Hunt, Destruction, Erudition). Shifu's frequent attacks and Ultimates generate Charge stacks, triggering March's Enhanced Basic which can hit 5-8 times at full ATK scaling. Every hit triggers Additional DMG (20% ATK per hit via Skill) and A6 grants Shifu +60% CRIT DMG and +36% Break Effect for 2 turns after each Enhanced Basic. March costs only 1 Skill Point at the start of combat and is fully SP-positive thereafter — enabling SP-hungry supports like Robin or Sunday without strain.

Super Break

March as Break DPS with a support-path Shifu (Harmony, Nihility, Preservation, Abundance). Support path activates +100% Toughness Reduction per hit on March's Basic ATK and Enhanced Basic hits, enabling massive Toughness damage on every attack. Harmony Trailblazer is mandatory to grant Super Break capability. High-SPD Gallagher is the ideal Shifu — his fast actions and self-advance generate maximum Charge stacks, while Besotted increases Break DMG taken. Build targets 150%+ Break Effect, 135 SPD, with optional CRIT stats since Enhanced Basic still benefits from CRIT.

Important Notes

• CRIT and Break builds require different stat investments — cannot share the same relic set between playstyles.
• Break build requires Harmony Trailblazer. Without Super Break, March's high Toughness output does not translate to competitive damage.
• March is a sub-DPS and support hybrid, not a standalone carry — always needs a Shifu to define her role and generate Charge.
