Honkai Star Rail Sampo Build Guide 2023

Best Sampo Builds

Sampo is one of the 4-star Wind characters in Honkai Star Rail. Sampo has a lot of different builds, but most players are building him as sub-DPS while some players are using him as full support. He possesses Nihility, which allows him to place dots on enemies and debuff them with something that weakens them. He is not as good as other characters, but if you are a new player, feel free to use him. When you get better characters, replace him. You want to pair Sampo with strong DPS characters so they can benefit from the debuffs and dots that he is putting on enemies. Sampo is a C-tier character in Honkai Star Rail.

We will update this guide with more information when the game officially releases. If you want to see how well Sampo performs compared to other characters, you can check out the Honkai Star Rail Tier list. Also, remember to redeem all Honkai Star Rail codes, which will grant you some fantastic items.

Sampo Story

A silver-tongued salesman, where there is profit to be made, you can be sure Sampo is nearby. Sampo’s unique knowledge makes it hard not to approach him for help, but becoming his “customer” is not necessarily a good thing. After all, “customers” can quickly turn into “commodities” for the right price.
