Star Rail shares multiple similarities to Genshin, with the former having – among many other things – the same pity and wish system for obtaining characters. As of the global launch, there are 22 characters, including the MC, Trailblazer. Each character has a Skill, a move you use in combat to support an ally or attack a foe. Knowing where each character fits into Star Rail’s turn-based combat is vi

Bailu, easily one of the best 5-star characters in Honkai: Star Rail , follows The Abundance Path and is one out of three heroes that follow this Path. Although there is an abundance of Lightning characters in the game, she might as well be the best. Most of her abilities focus on restoration techniques, so she is a viable substitute for a Preservation charac
Each Honkai: Star Rail character follows something known as a Path. Essentially, Paths are the game’s interpretation of classic RPG roles or jobs. The Destruction Path, for instance, is a good offensive role for one-on-one battles, while The Abundance Path takes on a healer role in a team comp. In total, there are 14 Paths, with only seven of them being playable at the moment. Characters also have control over Elements, and there are seven of them in the g
Honkai: Star Rail ’s best 4 and 5-star characters are bound to change as the game progresses. As is the case with other gacha live-service games, not only will the playable areas expand, but also the roster of playable characters. **Honkai: Star Rail ** ’s release date for PC, iOS, and Android is set for April, while the PlayStation version is due later in 2
Out of all the available Relics in Honkai: Star Rail upon launch, Band of Sizzling Thunder is the best fit for Jing Yuan . The 2-piece set increases Lightning DMG by 10%, but the 4-piece set will also boost ATK by 25% for one turn after the wearer uses a Skill. Since Jing Yuan will use his Skill most often, the temporary boost can continuously support both his attacks and those of Lightning-L
As an Erudition character, Jing Yuan’s role in combat involves dealing Lightning DMG with multiple targets. Both his Skill and Ultimate attack multiple targets and increase Jing Yuan’s attack count by 2 and 3, respectively. This attack count is important for Lightning-Lord, as high counts deal more DMG with higher SPD in a follow-up attack. Jing Yuan’s Aglaea build Honkai Star Rail is designed to boost Lightning-Lord’s attacks and shroud the field in Lightn
Finally, the Trailblazer is Honkai: Star Rail ‘s main protagonist and pseudo-avatar for the player, similar to Genshin Impact ‘s Traveler. Uniquely among Star Rail ‘s playable characters, the Trailblazer essentially comes as a two-in-one package, being able to serve as either Physical Destruction or (after a certain point in the story) Fire Preservation. While the versatility is already a major plus, The Trailblazer is effective in either role, with Physical Destruction being especially valuable for exploiting common Physical weaknesses in the early game, and for its versatility in dealing single-target or multi-target dam
Himeko is one of the first 5-star Honkai: Star Rail characters that players can test during their extended tutorial, and while her trial is but a chance for players to have a glimpse of her powers, actually pulling for her is a great plan. Unlike the Trailblazer themselves, which start off as a Destruction character, Himeko is The Erudition hero. This makes her great at dealing damage to multiple enemies at once. Additionally, she is a Fire character, which turns her into a valuable addition to early team comps that typically lack more Fire her
Her most impressive powers, however, are capable of regenerating Energy. Her off-field Technique allows her to restore her own Energy for her Ultimate. Her Ultimate Ability, in turn, regenerates Energy for an ally while also boosting their DMG. With this sort of regeneration, Tingyun can keep team members’ Ultimates up and ready to use with decent consistency. This makes her an impressive 4-star Honkai: Star Rail character to have, as her powers are comparable to those of a 5-s
Himeko is excellent as a secondary DPS, and her Talent is fantastic since it can be triggered as an off-turn attack, further increasing her presence and assistance against opponents. While she is simple to master and lacks a bit more depth in gameplay mechanics, she is easily one of the best 5-star characters to pull in Honkai: Star Rail , especially as a player’s first 5-star h
