Cipher Eidolon Ranked List in Honkai Star Rail
Cipher’s Eidolons bring different upgrades to her support and sub-DPS role. Some Eidolons greatly boost her damage output, while others offer minor gains. Here’s a priority list to help you decide where to spend your Stellar Jades.
1. The Thief’s Game, Unsung and Free (Eidolon 6)
This Eidolon makes Cipher’s follow-up attacks 350% stronger. It also records 16% more damage from the attacks and returns 20% of the damage record after using her Ultimate. This means she can keep some of her recorded power even after unleashing it, giving her consistent damage boosts. If you have the Stellar Jades, this one is a must-pull.
2. Read the Room, Seek the Glee (Eidolon 1)
This Eidolon increases Cipher’s recorded damage to 150% of the original value and gives her +80% ATK for 2 turns after using a follow-up attack. Since Cipher often focuses on SPD rather than ATK in builds, this buff helps balance her stats. It’s an excellent early investment if you want to boost her output without going all the way to E6.
3. In a Fray, Nab on a Spree (Eidolon 2)
This Eidolon gives Cipher a 120% chance to make enemies take 30% more damage for 2 turns after she hits them. It adds a useful vulnerability debuff, but it’s not essential unless you want to stack multiple buffs and debuffs in your team comp. Consider this one if you already have E1 and are still looking to improve her support role.
4. The Jig is Up, Quick to Flee (Eidolon 4)
This Eidolon adds a small burst of Quantum damage when allies attack enemies marked by “Patron.” While this sounds good, the actual bonus is low compared to the cost of rolling for E4. Most players won’t notice a big change in damage, so it’s not a high-priority upgrade.
Conclusion
When building Cipher in Honkai Star Rail, E1 and E6 offer the best boosts. E1 gives solid early value with attack and recorded damage upgrades, while E6 makes her a late-game monster with massive follow-up potential. Skip E4 unless you’re a collector or already close to E6. Prioritise your Stellar Jades wisely based on how heavily you plan to use Cipher.
