Introduction to Honkai Star Rail

Honkai: Star Rail invites players to embark on a cosmic adventure aboard the Astral Express, exploring various planets and confronting formidable adversaries. The game emphasizes strategic combat, where understanding each character's strengths and weaknesses is crucial for success. With a roster that continually expands, players have the opportunity to assemble teams that align with their preferred playstyle and tactical approach.

Understanding Character Roles and Paths

In Honkai: Star Rail, characters are categorized based on their roles—such as DPS (damage dealers), supports, and healers—and their designated Paths, which define their combat style and abilities. While the free characters provided are effective for progressing through the story, assembling diverse teams is crucial to tackle various combat scenarios, as relying solely on top-tier characters may not suffice in all situations. 

SS-tier characters

The following SS-tier characters are distinguished by their exceptional support abilities, debuffs, and both passive and active attacks, offering significant advantages beyond mere damage output:

  1. Aventurine (5-Star, Imaginary, The Preservation): Provides team-wide shields, enhances follow-up attacks, boosts Crit Damage and Effect Resistance, and delivers substantial personal damage through his Ultimate and follow-up attacks.

  2. Fugue (5-Star, Fire, The Nihility): Excels in Break and Super Break teams by applying the 'Foxian Prayer' state, reducing enemy Toughness regardless of their Weakness, lowering enemy defense, and triggering Super Break Damage effects.

  3. Fu Xuan (5-Star, Quantum, The Preservation): Acts as a team tank by absorbing damage intended for allies when her Skill is active and self-heals upon dropping below 50% HP, ensuring prolonged team survival.

  4. Lingsha (5-Star, Fire, The Abundance): Combines potent healing abilities with follow-up damage potential through her pet, Fuyuan, making her a formidable healer with offensive capabilities.

  5. Robin (5-Star, Physical, The Harmony): Versatile in boosting party damage, attack, follow-up attacks, Crit Rate, and Crit Damage, while enabling allies to act immediately, making her an invaluable team asset.

  6. Ruan Mei (5-Star, Ice, The Harmony): Enhances team damage and Weakness Break Efficiency, applies a field increasing All-Type Resistance Penetration, delays enemy recovery from Weakness Breaks, and passively boosts Speed, Break Effect, and damage.

  7. Sparkle (5-Star, Wind, The Harmony): Generates additional Skill Points, amplifies team damage, advances turns by 50%, and synergizes exceptionally well in Mono Quantum teams, offering team composition flexibility.

  8. Sunday (5-Star, Imaginary, The Harmony): Combines abilities of characters like Bronya, Tingyun, and Hanya, cleanses allies, boosts Crit Rate and damage (especially for those with Summons), allows immediate action, regenerates Energy, and enhances Summons, making him one of the game's most versatile and effective team members.

  9. Topaz (5-Star, Fire, The Hunt): Ideal for teams utilizing follow-up attacks (FUA), passively boosts FUA damage, summons Numby for additional attacks, and offers personal fire damage, enhancing her utility in various scenarios.

  10. Tribbie (5-Star, Quantum, The Harmony): Provides All-Type Resistance Penetration buffs, possesses significant personal damage, triggers Follow-Up Attacks when allies use Ultimates, and is user-friendly, making her an excellent choice for diverse team compositions.
  11. S-tier characters

These S-tier characters excel in their designated roles and can adapt to various combat situations beyond their Elemental types. However, they may not perform as well as the SS-tier characters or have minor limitations that prevent them from reaching their full potential.

Here’s our Honkai: Star Rail tier list for every S-tier character as of version 3.1 in March 2025, presented in alphabetical order:

Acheron

  • Rarity: 5-Star
  • Element: Lightning
  • Path: The Nihility

Acheron shines as a powerful DPS when you understand her mechanics. She builds her Ultimate through inflicting debuffs rather than relying on traditional Energy Recharge. Pairing her with other Nihility characters ensures regular debuff application, allowing you to unleash her devastating Ultimate quickly. Additionally, her ability to fit into DOT teams makes her a valuable sub-DPS. However, maximizing her potential requires specific character synergies.

Aglaea

  • Rarity: 5-Star
  • Element: Lightning
  • Path: The Remembrance

As the sole Remembrance DPS, Aglaea serves as a formidable hypercarry when supported by the right characters. While she can be substituted with other DPS options, her raw damage output remains impressive.

Bronya

  • Rarity: 5-Star
  • Element: Wind
  • Path: The Harmony

Bronya’s skill allows her to dispel debuffs from an ally and grant them an additional turn, effectively enabling double actions for DPS, healing, or support. Her Ultimate and Technique also enhance the party's attack and Crit damage, making her a versatile asset across various teams.

Feixiao

  • Rarity: 5-Star
  • Element: Wind
  • Path: The Hunt

If you favor follow-up attacks, Feixiao is an ideal DPS choice, as her Talent allows her to strike after an ally’s attack. While she excels against single targets like bosses, her effectiveness diminishes in multi-enemy scenarios.

Firefly

  • Rarity: 5-Star
  • Element: Fire
  • Path: The Destruction

Firefly thrives in the Super Break Damage meta. With adequate Break Damage and the right teammates, including the free Harmony Trailblazer, she becomes a formidable DPS. Ensuring enemies are Weakness Broken is crucial, and even without optimal conditions, she remains effective due to her ability to inflict Fire weakness.

Huohuo

  • Rarity: 5-Star
  • Element: Wind
  • Path: The Abundance

Huohuo provides excellent healing and acts as a stealthy Harmony character by regenerating Energy for the entire team, excluding herself, while boosting their attack. This makes her a flexible choice, allowing teams to replace traditional Harmony or Nihility characters.

Kafka

  • Rarity: 5-Star
  • Element: Lightning
  • Path: The Nihility

Kafka excels at applying DoT effects and has a bit of AoE damage. Her standout feature is boosting the damage of every DoT on an enemy, making her synergistic with characters who apply Shock, Wind Shear, Bleed, or Burn. While her damage output may not seem immediately impressive, the cumulative effect of her DoTs leads to substantial damage over time.

Luocha

  • Rarity: 5-Star
  • Element: Imaginary
  • Path: The Abundance

Luocha stands out as a unique healer, with his healing scaling off attack. He creates a special Field that heals allies when they attack after accumulating two Abyss Flower stacks. Although his Ultimate applies Imaginary damage and dispels enemy buffs, his passive healing makes him one of the best healers in the game.

Pela

  • Rarity: 4-Star
  • Element: Ice
  • Path: The Nihility

Pela is a strong addition to nearly any team, providing debuffs while gaining Energy with her Skill. Her Ultimate reduces all enemies' defense and deals Ice damage, setting the stage for AOE attackers. While less effective against single targets, she remains a solid choice overall.

Rappa

  • Rarity: 5-Star
  • Element: Imaginary
  • Path: The Erudition

Rappa specializes in attacking multiple enemies while ignoring Weakness, making her a great fit for Break Teams in Pure Fiction. Her unique perspective enhances her utility, but be sure to invest in her attack to maximize her Break Damage potential.

Remembrance Trailblazer

  • Rarity: 5-Star
  • Element: Ice
  • Path: The Remembrance

As a free support character, the Remembrance Trailblazer can advance team turns and increase Crit Damage. However, the drawback is that you cannot use other Trailblazer Paths while she is on your active team.

The Herta

  • Rarity: 5-Star
  • Element: Ice
  • Path: The Erudition

If you enjoy Erudition characters, The Herta is a fantastic choice, especially when paired with at least two other Erudition allies. She excels as an attacker and can act again immediately after using her Ultimate, making her particularly effective in endgame content.

Tingyun

  • Rarity: 4-Star
  • Element: Lightning
  • Path: The Harmony

Tingyun enhances the damage of high DPS characters when using her Skill, and her Ultimate restores Energy to an ally while boosting their damage. She serves as an excellent support character with the added ability to deal Lightning damage when necessary.

Trailblazer

  • Rarity: 5-Star
  • Element: Imaginary
  • Path: The Harmony

The Harmony Trailblazer enables allies to deal Super Break Damage when an enemy’s Weakness is broken, significantly enhancing overall damage output. When paired with characters like Ruan Mei or Xueyi, who can extend or reduce enemy toughness, the Trailblazer becomes a valuable asset to any team. Plus, as a free character, they are worth leveling up.

A-tier characters

These characters exhibit significant potential in their optimal combat scenarios or team compositions. However, they may face limitations that hinder their usability, have counterparts that outperform them, or lack the versatility to fit into multiple team setups.

Here’s our Honkai: Star Rail tier list for every A-tier character as of version 3.1 in March 2025, organized in alphabetical order:

Argenti

  • Rarity: 5-Star
  • Element: Physical
  • Path: The Erudition

Argenti is straightforward to master, focusing on building his powerful second Ultimate for massive AoE Physical damage. Keeping track of his Skill Point and Energy needs can be managed with the right team composition. His effectiveness increases significantly in battles against multiple enemies, such as those in Pure Fiction, where his passive boosts damage in multi-target situations.

Black Swan

  • Rarity: 5-Star
  • Element: Wind
  • Path: The Nihility

Black Swan synergizes remarkably well with Kafka through her ability to implant and enhance DoTs. She boasts an easy-to-understand playstyle and excels on her own due to her stacking DOT mechanics, especially in the Simulated Universe when equipped with suitable Nihility blessings. Overall, Black Swan is a fantastic addition to any Nihility team across various modes, including Memory of Chaos and Pure Fiction.

Blade

  • Rarity: 5-Star
  • Element: Wind
  • Path: The Destruction

Blade is a formidable character who sacrifices his own HP to enhance his attack damage, coupled with self-healing abilities. He effectively combines the roles of Harmony, Abundance, and Destruction, but requires careful management of his health. While he can be one of the top attackers in the game, it's advisable to have a dedicated healer on the team to maintain his survivability.

Boothill

  • Rarity: 5-Star
  • Element: Physical
  • Path: The Hunt

Equipped with a revolver and a sharp tongue, Boothill is excellent at implanting Physical Weakness and delivering strong single-target DPS. He can quickly reduce enemy Toughness, but his single-target focus may limit his effectiveness in Pure Fiction scenarios. Nonetheless, he remains a solid choice for Memory of Chaos and the Simulated Universe, thanks to his valuable Weakness implantation.

Dr. Ratio

  • Rarity: 5-Star
  • Element: Imaginary
  • Path: The Hunt

Dr. Ratio excels as a single-target attacker, fitting seamlessly into various team compositions. He can trigger follow-up attacks against marked enemies, making him a great addition alongside other attackers or as a hyper-carry DPS when paired with Harmony and Nihility characters. Just ensure that enemies are debuffed to maximize his damage output.

Gallagher

  • Rarity: 4-Star
  • Element: Fire
  • Path: The Abundance

Gallagher's Cleanse ability unlocks with his second Eidolon, transforming him into an effective healer and a secret Harmony character with decent damage output. Think of him as a mini Fire version of Luocha, capable of enhancing Effect Resistance and Break Damage for the team while reducing enemy attacks with his upgraded basic attack.

Hanya

  • Rarity: 4-Star
  • Element: Physical
  • Path: The Harmony

For those who find managing Skill Points tedious, Hanya is an excellent choice for generating extra Skill Points while buffing character damage and speed. She pairs wonderfully with DPS characters that rely heavily on Skill Points, though other supports can also fulfill this role. Hanya serves as a valuable alternative support, making it easier to unleash powerful attacks.

Himeko

  • Rarity: 5-Star
  • Element: Fire
  • Path: The Erudition

Himeko delivers significant AoE damage and can launch follow-up attacks when allies break enemy weaknesses. She shines against large waves of enemies weak to Fire, especially in Pure Fiction, but is also effective in single-target encounters. Her Ultimate deals a massive Fire nuke while regenerating Energy, allowing for rapid usage under the right conditions.

Imbibitor Lunae

  • Rarity: 5-Star
  • Element: Imaginary
  • Path: The Destruction

Imbibitor Lunae boasts impressive damage output, but his high Skill Point consumption requires careful management. His unique kit allows him to spend build-up stacks instead of Skill Points, making him a valuable DPS against a variety of enemies. Balancing his build and team composition is crucial to maximizing his damage potential.

Jade

  • Rarity: 5-Star
  • Element: Quantum
  • Path: The Erudition

Jade is an ideal companion for AoE attackers, enabling them to apply Quantum damage when she uses her Skill on them. She builds Charges as they attack, unleashing an AoE follow-up attack once she reaches eight Charges, which also boosts her Crit Damage. However, be cautious, as she takes HP from her Debt Collector when they attack, making her synergistic with characters like Blade.

Jingliu

  • Rarity: 5-Star
  • Element: Ice
  • Path: The Destruction

Jingliu is a high DPS Destruction character who requires entering her Spectral Transmigration state and attacking rapidly for optimal burst damage. She can pair effectively with characters like Blade, benefiting from health loss to create double DPS teams. Her lack of Skill Point usage offers more versatility compared to others, making her a strong option.

Jing Yuan

  • Rarity: 5-Star
  • Element: Lightning
  • Path: The Erudition

Although Jing Yuan belongs to The Erudition path, he excels in dealing damage to single targets. He requires careful management of his Lightning-Lord stacks and Skill Points to maximize his damage potential. His effectiveness is somewhat reliant on his signature Light Cone, and he doesn't benefit from Relic buffs as much as higher-tier characters.

Lynx

  • Rarity: 4-Star
  • Element: Quantum
  • Path: The Abundance

Lynx is a valuable healer who not only heals the party but also draws enemy attacks to a character healed by her Skill, provided they are from the Destruction or Preservation paths. This interaction creates a beneficial cycle for the team. Additionally, her Ultimate can dispel debuffs for everyone, making her a unique healer compared to others like Bailu or Luocha.

March 7th

  • Rarity: 4-Star
  • Element: Imaginary
  • Path: The Hunt

March 7th's Hunt Path is ideal for providing sub-DPS while assisting in breaking enemy Toughness. Her Skill assigns a Shifu to a character, enhancing their damage or Toughness Reduction based on their Path. With additional Crit Damage and Break Effect boosts, March 7th serves as a strong free-to-play support and damage option.

Moze

  • Rarity: 4-Star
  • Element: Lightning
  • Path: The Hunt

Moze excels as a follow-up support character, similar to Numby in Topaz's kit. If an enemy is marked as 'Prey,' he can consume Charge to perform a follow-up attack. His Eidolons, especially at E1, enhance his energy efficiency.

Qingque

  • Rarity: 4-Star
  • Element: Quantum
  • Path: The Erudition

Qingque's random mechanics can sometimes limit her effectiveness, but she shines when fully upgraded to E6. Her kit revolves around drawing multiple identical tiles to boost her damage, allowing her to attack without ending her turn. While luck plays a role, she can be a game-changer in specific situations.

Seele

  • Rarity: 5-Star
  • Element: Quantum
  • Path: The Hunt

Seele defies the norm for Hunt characters, excelling in multi-target scenarios due to her passive ability, which grants her an extra turn upon defeating an enemy. This mechanic can lead to up to four consecutive turns when exploited with her Ultimate. Pair her with supports that enhance her Speed, Crit, or attack stats for broader combat effectiveness.

Silver Wolf

  • Rarity: 5-Star
  • Element: Quantum
  • Path: The Nihility

Silver Wolf acts as a powerful debuffer, capable of implanting a new elemental weakness in enemies. This is particularly beneficial against bosses and elite enemies, though the implanted element is randomly chosen from your party's lineup. While it may require some repetition in battles, her ability to enable any of your damage-dealers to shine is invaluable, especially in Quantum-focused teams.

Welt

  • Rarity: 5-Star
  • Element: Imaginary
  • Path: The Nihility

Welt's speed reduction capability makes him a highly desirable character, particularly when paired with allies that have high base speed. Lower enemy speed translates to more turns for your team, allowing for more frequent attacks, healing, or support abilities. His Technique for slowing enemies is one of the strongest in the game, providing a significant advantage at the start of battles.

Yunli

  • Rarity: 5-Star
  • Element: Physical
  • Path: The Destruction

Yunli is designed around taunting enemies and countering their attacks, aided by her healing abilities. She regenerates Energy when hit, facilitating the use of her Ultimate and reducing Energy Recharge requirements on her Relics. With her AoE Physical damage, Yunli is a unique and effective choice for teams needing a Physical attacker.

B-tier characters

Our B-tier characters are quite effective against their ideal opponents and often possess unique abilities that can render them viable options in various combat scenarios. However, they may not be the top choice overall. It's important to note that enhancing the Eidolons of most of these characters can significantly improve their overall effectiveness.

Here’s our Honkai: Star Rail tier list for every B-tier character as of version 3.1 in March 2025, listed in alphabetical order:

Asta

  • Rarity: 4-Star
  • Element: Fire
  • Path: The Harmony

Asta is a surprisingly strong choice for your team. Her Ultimate boosts the speed of all allies, allowing some characters to potentially take an extra turn if their speed is sufficiently high. This can be game-changing, especially in challenging scenarios like the Forgotten Hall. To unlock Asta's full potential, you'll need to invest in her Traces, build, and team composition.

Bailu

  • Rarity: 5-Star
  • Element: Lightning
  • Path: The Abundance

As a healer, Bailu is essential in almost all combat situations, particularly in lengthy battles such as boss encounters or within the Simulated Universe. Her Skill provides substantial healing to multiple allies, and her passive ability to revive a fallen ally once per battle makes her an invaluable Abundance character. However, her main drawback is the lack of cleansing capabilities.

Clara

  • Rarity: 5-Star
  • Element: Physical
  • Path: The Destruction

Clara offers a unique gameplay experience that requires thoughtful team composition for maximum effectiveness. Her companion, Svarog, counters with an attack whenever Clara is hit. Thus, having a strong shielder or healer is crucial for her to thrive, as you want to keep her alive to unleash Svarog's powerful Physical attacks. Baiting enemies to target Clara can enhance your team's DPS, provided she survives.

Gepard

  • Rarity: 5-Star
  • Element: Ice
  • Path: The Preservation

Gepard excels in encounters against single or dual targets, utilizing his freezing abilities and dealing ice damage over time. His Ultimate provides shields for the entire party, enhancing survivability. Additionally, his Talent allows him to revive after being dealt a fatal blow. In shorter battles, he can serve as a substitute for a healer, as frozen enemies cannot attack, making room for additional DPS or support characters.

March 7th

  • Rarity: 4-Star
  • Element: Ice
  • Path: The Preservation

Don't overlook March 7th! She provides versatile support against enemies regardless of their Ice weakness. March can shield allies with her Skill, counterattack when shielded allies are hit, and freeze groups of enemies with her Ultimate. She's especially effective in prolonged battles, allowing your DPS characters to manage foes while she draws out the fight. Enhancing her abilities in the Simulated Universe can further elevate her performance.

Xueyi

  • Rarity: 4-Star
  • Element: Quantum
  • Path: The Destruction

Xueyi stands out as a valuable 4-Star attacker. Despite being a Quantum character, her Ultimate ignores enemy Weakness Types and reduces Toughness, making her versatile in various combat scenarios. With AoE Quantum damage and follow-up attacks, she can shine when paired with good support characters to amplify her damage. While she may not rival 5-Star damage dealers, her adaptability makes her a great option, particularly in the Simulated Universe.

Yukong

  • Rarity: 4-Star
  • Element: Imaginary
  • Path: The Harmony

Yukong is a highly effective Harmony character, as her Skill boosts the attack of all allies, and her Ultimate increases both Crit Rate and Crit Damage as long as Roaring Bowstrings is active. The key is managing your rotations to ensure this effect is active when your DPS characters unleash their strongest moves. While she may not be as straightforward to use as Tingyun, Yukong can significantly enhance the performance of characters reliant on increased Crit Rate and Damage, and she also functions as a solid sub-DPS character alongside other Imaginary allies.


C-tier characters

Our C-tier characters can be useful in specific situations, but they generally offer minimal or no additional benefits beyond their Element type. While they aren't necessarily bad, they lack any standout features that would elevate their status.

Here’s our Honkai: Star Rail tier list for every C-tier character as of version 3.1 in March 2025, listed in alphabetical order:

Guinaifen

  • Rarity: 4-Star
  • Element: Fire
  • Path: The Nihility

If your team needs Burn DoTs, Guinaifen is an excellent choice. She pairs well with Kafka, as her Firekiss effect increases the damage enemies take, acting as a mini debuffer while also applying DoTs effectively.

Herta

  • Rarity: 4-Star
  • Element: Ice
  • Path: The Erudition

With the introduction of Pure Fiction, Herta has become a solid option for AoE Ice damage. She can follow up on attacks when allies reduce an enemy's health below a certain threshold. Although somewhat limited, her effectiveness shines against ice-weak enemies or low-health mobs, particularly in Pure Fiction and the Simulated Universe when teamed with characters like March 7th.

Luka

  • Rarity: 4-Star
  • Element: Physical
  • Path: The Nihility

Luka excels at inflicting bleed damage in single or low-target scenarios. When leveled up, he regains energy by using Fighting Stacks, allowing for more frequent use of his high-damage Ultimate, which also debuffs the target. Additionally, he can dispel one buff with his Skill after unlocking a passive ability, making him more versatile than he may initially appear.

Misha

  • Rarity: 4-Star
  • Element: Ice
  • Path: The Destruction

As a standalone attacker, Misha is somewhat underwhelming. However, he synergizes well with other Skill Point-heavy attackers, dealing more damage as his Ultimate charges. He serves as a secondary DPS and fits nicely in Freeze teams, especially in the Simulated Universe. Although other characters may perform better in a flex slot, Misha shines in a Skill Point-centric team.

Natasha

  • Rarity: 4-Star
  • Element: Physical
  • Path: The Abundance

Natasha is a crucial healer, especially for players lacking other healing options in the early game. Her Skill heals and dispels a debuff from one ally, while her Ultimate heals the entire party. Although she lacks flashy abilities, her healing is essential for progressing through various content.

Sampo

  • Rarity: 4-Star
  • Element: Wind
  • Path: The Nihility

Sampo is your go-to for AoE Wind damage and DoTs. His Technique can slow enemies at the start of a battle, granting your team more turns. However, his AoE damage is somewhat random, so maximizing his Ultimate activation is key. He pairs particularly well with Kafka.

Serval

  • Rarity: 4-Star
  • Element: Lightning
  • Path: The Erudition

Serval is a straightforward character, ideal for teams needing AoE Lightning damage. She can shock enemies and deal extra damage when hitting shocked foes. While lacking versatility, she is effective against many enemies, especially early in the game and in modes like the Forgotten Hall and Simulated Universe. Serval also works well with Kafka.

Sushang

  • Rarity: 4-Star
  • Element: Physical
  • Path: The Hunt

Sushang is effective against single-target enemies weak to Physical damage, gaining an extra turn after using her Skill. She also provides value in multi-target encounters, as her Technique affects all enemies at the start of battle. With some randomness in her damage output, Sushang remains a strong damage dealer among 4-Stars.

Trailblazer

  • Rarity: 5-Star
  • Element: Fire
  • Path: The Preservation

The Fire variant of the Trailblazer serves as a great tank, drawing enemy attacks with their Skill. By gaining Magma Will stacks through attacks or blocks, they can unleash powerful fire damage against tough Elites, particularly those weak to fire. While less effective against enemies resistant to fire, they still excel at baiting attacks.

Yanqing

  • Rarity: 5-Star
  • Element: Ice
  • Path: The Hunt

Yanqing is effective against Ice-weak single-target enemies and can serve as a minor support by freezing foes when using his Skill. However, the inconsistency of his freezing and attack buffs prevents him from ranking higher, as his unpredictability can limit his overall utility compared to other DPS characters.

D-tier characters

Our D-tier characters have specific functions they perform adequately, such as farming materials or breaking weakness bars, but they generally lack utility beyond that and won't match the effectiveness of other characters within the same Path or Element.

Here’s our Honkai: Star Rail tier list for every D-tier character as of version 3.1 in March 2025, presented in alphabetical order:

Arlan

  • Rarity: 4-Star
  • Element: Lightning
  • Path: The Destruction

Arlan can be a decent character when built properly, but his Skill drains health with each use, which poses a significant challenge in some battles, especially given his limited DPS potential. Bringing a healer or shielder can mitigate this drawback. Arlan’s primary advantage lies in the fact that his Skill doesn’t consume Skill Points, allowing other party members to maximize their DPS per turn, making him particularly useful in the Forgotten Hall.

Dan Heng

  • Rarity: 4-Star
  • Element: Wind
  • Path: The Hunt

Dan Heng is a solid choice for progressing through the story and can assist in the Forgotten Hall and Simulated Universe to some extent. He excels against single-target enemies weak to Wind and can contribute in multi-target situations if those enemies also share that weakness or have low enough health to be eliminated in one hit. However, his utility is limited; he doesn’t offer much beyond his damage, and while his Skill can reduce an enemy's speed, it only works on a single target and isn’t guaranteed, making other characters better suited for that role against multiple foes.

Hook

  • Rarity: 4-Star
  • Element: Fire
  • Path: The Destruction

Hook's main drawback is the presence of superior Fire characters. While her straightforward playstyle—focusing on dealing damage and inflicting Burn—can be effective, she tends to fall short in prolonged encounters where other Fire users excel. She’s not a bad team member, but she lacks the essential impact needed in tougher scenarios.

Trailblazer

  • Rarity: 5-Star
  • Element: Physical
  • Path: The Destruction

The Physical variant of the Trailblazer offers solid survivability and Physical damage against both single and multiple targets. Their healing Technique can be advantageous in the Forgotten Hall and Simulated Universe, though it isn't critical if your team already includes a healer. Overall, while other Physical damage dealers typically provide more utility, the Physical Trailblazer shouldn’t be overlooked when quick AoE Physical damage is required.
