March 7th (The Hunt) | Honkai: Star Rail

Overview

Hunt March builds Charge through a chosen Shifu and spends it on an enhanced multi-hit Basic.

Role

Imaginary secondary damage dealer with CRIT and team-enabled Super Break routes.

Playstyle

Choose a frequently attacking Shifu, build Charge, and use Ultimate ahead of an enhanced Basic.

Why It Works

Shifu attacks or Ultimates add Charge. At seven Charge March acts immediately, while Shifu's Path determines extra damage or greater Toughness Reduction.

Watch For

Enhanced Basics do not restore Skill Points. A Break route needs a Super Break enabler and different stat priorities from the CRIT route.

Playstyle

Combat Flow

Assign Shifu before their attack sequence. Use regular Basics while Shifu builds Charge, then spend the enhanced Basic when March reaches seven. Use Ultimate before that enhanced attack to increase its starting hit count and chance of extra hits.

Key Notes

Hunt, Destruction, Erudition, Remembrance and Elation Shifu add damage to her Basics; Harmony, Nihility, Preservation and Abundance Shifu increase their Toughness Reduction.
Filigree lets March reduce Toughness against Shifu's Combat Type weakness, but her resulting Weakness Break remains Imaginary.
Tide Tamer buffs Shifu's CRIT DMG and Break Effect after an enhanced Basic.
Do not build CRIT and Break indiscriminately; choose the team route first.
An E2 follow-up follows Shifu's attack target, which can disrupt Swordplay if targets differ.

Build & Investment

Light Cones

Primary

Cruising in the Stellar Sea

CRIT-route option with extra CRIT Rate against half-HP targets. Its ATK buff requires March to defeat an enemy.

Alternative

In the Night

For a CRIT route: SPD above 100 adds Basic and Skill damage in steps, up to six stacks. Check active SPD rather than assuming the full bonus.

Situational

Shadowed by Night

For a dedicated Super Break route. Supplies Break Effect and a temporary SPD buff after entry or Break damage.

Relics

Primary

Musketeer of Wild Wheat

For CRIT March: ATK, SPD and Basic damage support her enhanced attacks.

Situational

Iron Cavalry Against the Scourge

For Super Break March: 150% Break Effect activates Break DEF ignore, and 250% adds further Super Break DEF ignore. She needs a team source of Super Break.

Planars

Primary

Rutilant Arena

For the CRIT route: reach 70% in-combat CRIT Rate for the Basic and Skill damage bonus.

Situational

Forge of the Kalpagni Lantern

For the Break route against Fire-weak enemies: after a hit, grants 40% Break Effect for one turn. Assigning a Fire Shifu does not itself implant Fire Weakness.

This order is for CRIT March after meeting the team's turn timing. For the conditional Super Break route, use SPD and Break Effect first, then survival; do not split equally between both plans.

Eidolon Investment

E0 supplies Shifu and enhanced Basics. E2 changes the attack cycle, while E6 directly improves the post-Ultimate enhanced Basic; judge investment by the selected route.

March's native loop works with the listed Hunt alternatives. Select the cone for CRIT or Super Break instead of spending on a premium cone without a defined team.

While Shifu is on the field, March gains 10% SPD. Include this in her turn order and equipment thresholds.

After Shifu attacks with Basic or Skill, March follows up once per turn and gains one Charge. This accelerates the enhanced Basic cycle.

Restores five Energy at the start of March's turn, helping recover Ultimate.

After Ultimate, the next enhanced Basic gains 50% CRIT DMG. This specifically benefits the CRIT route.

Teams

Recommended Teammates

Topaz & Numby

Topaz is a damage-route Shifu whose own attacks and Numby help build Charge. At E2, March's follow-up can also advance Numby if it hits Proof of Debt.

Robin

Robin supports CRIT March and the other attacker with team buffs and Action Advance. She is usually the support rather than the frequently attacking Shifu.

Gallagher

Gallagher can be the Break-route Shifu: Ultimate advances him into an enhanced Basic, creating more Charge opportunities. His Abundance Path increases March's Toughness Reduction.

Trailblazer (Harmony)

Harmony Trailblazer's Ultimate supplies the Super Break effect that March lacks. Keep Backup Dancer active and attack broken enemies to use it.
