The best Gilgamesh build in Honkai Star Rail is mostly centered around stacking Interest (a resource that climbs from ally turns and Ultimates) to buff his own SPD and CRIT DMG before unleashing a devastating Joint Follow-Up ATK alongside Saber.

How to Play Gilgamesh: Rotation and Tips
Gilgamesh’s playstyle revolves around stacking Interest, which climbs every time an ally takes their turn and grants him a steady SPD boost. His Talent, Amuse Me to the Fullest, automatically triggers his Basic ATK at the start of his turn, and once Interest hits 10 he enters the “Interest Piqued” state, locking him into repeated casts of his Skill, Gate of Babylon, for DEF-ignoring Lightning damage.
The real payoff comes from his Talent’s second effect:
every 8 attacks landed by Gilgamesh or Saber together trigger a Joint Follow-Up ATK, hitting all enemies with heavy Lightning and Wind damage, refunding Saber’s Energy, and doubling the damage of her next Ultimate.
Outside of that combo, his own Ultimate, Enuma Elish, adds a reliable AoE burst whenever his Energy is ready.
