Honkai best characters Star Rail: Tier List of Heroes

In Honkai: Star Rail, the characters differ significantly from each other, and some of them are able to perform their main tasks more efficiently. For this reason, we decided to compile a hero tier list to help you choose the best fighters for your team and save star jade.

Criteria for choosing the best characters in Honkai: Star Rail

At this point in time, the rating below is based on the experience of the players and the statistics obtained as part of the final testing of the game. The information in it will be regularly updated as new heroes and updates are released. You should be aware that many characters can either move up in rank or go down in the ranking over time, as happened in Genshin Impact at one time.

You also need to remember that in Honkai: Star Rail, a lot depends on team building. Although we have tried to include optimal builds in our tier list, however, many low-ranking characters can demonstrate excellent results in certain units if they are pumped correctly, investing your time and effort into them. You can easily complete most of the content using only the Pathfinder and 4-star characters (problems may arise only with the Forgotten Hall, an analogue of the Twisted Abyss from Genshin Impact).

It is also necessary to take into account the goals entrusted to the characters. For example, if you take battles with bosses and elite enemies, then Himeko will show himself average in them. If we are talking about battles with a large number of monsters in auto mode, then it is quite possible to call her the best fighter.

In general, the rating of the best characters was built according to the following rules:

  • Manual control of characters was taken into account.
  • Using characters in optimal commands for them.
  • On average, characters were level 60 and Footprints unlocked, and equipped with a level 60 light cone 4-star rarity and upgraded legendary equipment.
  • 5-star characters have no Eidolons unlocked, while 4-star characters have their Eidolons unlocked up to level 2.

Honkai: Star Rail Character Tier List

Formerly it was decided to prepare three character ratings at once, depending on the purposes for which they will be used:

  • General (default) – how the heroes behave when completing story and secondary tasks, as well as exploring the open world, passing through the Virtual Universe, and so on (that is, we are talking about all modes in which you have to fight against mixed types of enemies).
  • Bosses – how heroes behave when fighting strong single enemies in certain tasks and modes (Forgotten Hall).
  • Farming – how heroes behave when fighting large groups of enemies on autopilot when farming materials.

We also conditionally divided all the characters into several ranks, reflecting their overall effectiveness on the battlefield:

  • SS rank: ideal fighters who 100% fulfill the role assigned to them.
  • S rank: extremely powerful guys with almost no flaws.
  • A rank: great characters that would make a great addition to any team.
  • B rank: good characters that shouldn't be discarded from accounts, especially if you do not want to spend real money on the game.
  • C rank: ordinary characters that can also be useful to the squad if properly pumped and competently combined with stronger fighters.

Note: Heroes of SS rank are certainly good, but should not be consider that they are several times stronger than characters of a lower rank. Therefore, you should not constantly chase after them, considering all the rest useless. You can easily build an excellent team with only one S-ranked hero or a couple of A-ranked fighters.

Next, we will list all the characters in the game, briefly talking about their features and abilities. The overall rating will be taken as the basis.

SS Grade Characters

Zele

  • Rarity: 5 Stars
  • Path: Hunt< /li>
  • Element: Quantum

Honkai Star Rail Best Characters: Hero Tier List

An excellent damage dealer capable of dealing massive damage to single enemies, so it is ideal for killing bosses. Zele can boost her speed, allowing her to move first in combat, and buff herself to deal even more damage. Plus, she is able to reduce the interest of enemies in her person, which increases her survivability. Even without the Eidolons, she does a great job as a main damage dealer.

Armor

  • Rarity: 5 stars
  • Path: Harmony
  • Item: Windmill

Honkai Star Rail Best Characters: Hero Tier List

An excellent support capable of increasing the attack power, defense and damage of his allies, greatly increasing the overall combat power of the team. If necessary, the Armor itself can inflict good wind damage to enemies. Plus, it can be used to remove debuffs from squad members. It does not require Eidolons to perform its primary function.

Tingyun

  • Rarity: 4 Stars
  • Path: Harmony
  • Element : Electric

The best Honkai Star Rail characters are: tier list of heroes

An excellent support character that can increase the attack power and damage of allies, as well as fill them with a lot of energy, making it possible to use superpowers more often. Due to her high base speed, Tingyun will often go first in combat. Plus, she is capable of inflicting good electric damage to enemies. Eidolons can make her even stronger, but she plays her role well without them.

S-rank characters

Clara

  • Rarity: 5 stars
  • Path: Destruction
  • Element: Physical

Good a damage dealer that has balanced health, attack power and defense, but has a relatively low speed value, which is why it will often go one of the last in battle. Can deal significant physical damage to both single and multiple targets.

The best Honkai Star Rail characters are: Hero Tier List

However, her skills often make her the number one target for opponents. Her protection is certainly strong, but we still advise you to additionally strengthen her with tank shields or keep a healer ready.

Sushan

  • Rarity: 4 stars
  • < li>Path: Hunt

  • Element: Physical

The best Honkai Star Rail characters are: tier-list of heroes

A good damage dealer, which, although inferior in terms of attack power and speed to Zele, is still capable of inflicting huge physical damage on single targets. In addition, Sushan can increase his speed with the help of a talent and deal considerable damage even to large groups of enemies. Eidolons are easier for her to open than legendary heroes, however, the first two levels do not give a significant increase in strength.

Sang

  • Rarity: 4 stars
  • Path: Nonexistence
  • Element: Ice

In a team, can perform the role of a sub-DD and support-debuffer, dealing ice damage to enemies from the pocket and weakening them, reducing their defense. Plus, she is able to flood allies with some energy and increase their chance to hit effects. In general, this is a very versatile fighter that will be useful to many squads.

Honkai Star Rail's best characters: Hero Tier List

A relatively high base speed will allow her to be one of the first to move in battle. However, low health and not very high defense will force you to constantly monitor her condition.

Baylu

  • Rarity: 5 stars
  • Path: Abundance
  • Element: Electric

Honkai Star Rail's Best Characters: Hero Tier List

An excellent healer with high base health, as well as average speed and defense. She can heal both individual allies and the entire squad as a whole. Plus, her talent allows her to heal teammates outside of the battlefield and resurrect them if they receive a finishing blow. In general, if you need a good healer, then we recommend that you take Baila.
