Sampo Koski is a cunning merchant from the Underworld who swindles unsuspecting customers with scam after scam. While he was part of the righteous organization, Wildfire, his activities in the Administrative District suggest that he's adept at disguising himself as various individuals to procure information. I think that he's one of the most interesting characters in the game, as he's implied to be affiliated with the Masked Fools. In battle, Sampo is a four-star Wind Element that follows the Path of The Nihility.
Best Light Cones for Sampo in Honkai Star Rail
Sampo is an offensive debuffer that primarily deals DoT, so he can benefit from using the following Light Cones:
- In the Name of the World (best five-star option) - An all-around amazing Light Cone that will boost Sampo's DMG against debuffed enemies, and further increases her ATK and Effect Hit Rate upon using a Skill.
- Eyes of the Prey (best four-star option) - This is tailor-fit for Sampo's kit, as it increases Effect Hit Rate and DoT.
- Fermata - This Light Cone increases the wielder's Break Effect and DMG against enemies affected by Wind Shear, a debuff that Sampo can inflict upon enemies.
- Good Night and Sleep Well - This Light Cone provides a stackable DMG bonus for every debuff an enemy has, making it great for Sampo, who can apply a stackable Wind Shear debuff to enemies.
