This article details the set effects of Captain Over Cursed Waves in Honkai Star Rail and the best characters to pair with it.

Leaked set effects of Captain Over Cursed Waves in Honkai Star Rail
Like most Relics in Honkai Star Rail, Captain Over Cursed Waves will likely feature 2 and 4-piece set effects:
- Captain Over Cursed Waves’ expected 2-piece set effect – The wearer’s CRIT DMG gets an additional 16% boost.
- Captain Over Cursed Waves’ expected 4-piece set effect – The wearer receives a stack of “Assist” when they are the target of an ally’s skill, and is stackable. After the wearer triggers their Ultimate ability, they consume every stack of “Assist,” which boosts their ATK. A singular stack grants 16% ATK.

Best units that Trailblazers should pair with Captain Over Cursed Waves in Honkai Star Rail, as per leaks
Argenti
Argenti is one of the characters that can utilize the set effects of Captain Over Cursed Waves in Honkai Star Rail. This Erudition character can take advantage of the 16% CRIT DMG boost from the 2-piece effect, while the 4-piece effect can boost his outgoing damage.
When Argenti is paired with a Harmony character that only focuses on bestowing buffs to him, he can utilize the 4-piece set effect. Units like Sparkle, Sunday, and even Bronya can easily be paired with this character, allowing him to easily obtain Assist stacks.
Yunli
Another character that can be paired with Captain Over Cursed Waves in Honkai Star Rail is Yunli. Since most of her abilities, especially Ultimate, scale with ATK, this 5-star can prove her usefulness when the Relic set becomes available.
As Yunli is usually paired with Sparkle, Sunday, and Tingyun, she can easily trigger Captain Over Cursed Waves’ 4-piece set effect. If Trailblazers decide to pair the unit with two of the aforementioned buffers, she can acquire the maximum amount of Assist stacks. This will further boost Yunli’s damage for a turn after triggering her Ultimate ability.

Xueyi
Out of the free-to-play DPS choices, Xueyi can easily utilize Captain Over Cursed Waves’s effects. Excluding the 16% CRIT DMG boost, the character can simultaneously utilize the 2- and 4-piece set bonuses, as she usually gets paired with Bronya or Sparkle.
Since the choices for F2P players are quite limited, they can farm for this Relic set when it becomes available in HSR version 3.3.
Besides these characters, you can use this Relic set on any units that are usually accompanied by Harmony characters, who can only buff a targeted ally.
