As a live-service gacha game, Honkai: Star Rail is an ever-changing game with a complex metagame. There are multiple game modes, and it is important to understand which characters are the best for overcoming every challenge Honkai: Star Rail has to offer. Aside from the seven paths in-game, characters are generally considered within three party roles: Single Target DPS, AoE DPS, and Sust

Boothill is a Physical unit that follows the path of Hunt in Honkai: Star Rail . He is known for his single-target-oriented DPS role and exceptional ability to leverage Weakness Break due to his unique kit. Boothill can implement Physical Weakness on enemies, enhancing his basic attacks and utilizing a great scaling Break Effect , which allows him to deal massive dam

Collecting Boothill’s ascension materials in Honkai: Star Rail will help him become a more effective damage dealer for the team. His best traces revolve around exploiting Weakness Break, enhancing his overall damage out

While Victory In a Blink’s second effect cannot be utilized when equipped on Aglaea—since Garmentmaker doesn’t target allies with abilities—it can still serve as a decent stat stick thanks to its Crit DMG boost. This makes it a passable option for players lacking stronger alternati

Jingliu does enough damage to not need any Sub DPS to back her up. Instead, with support from the right buffers and decent support, Jingliu can lead teams better than almost any other character. Likewise, she doesn’t require a specialized team archetype like many other top tier characters do. As long as she can remain in her enhanced state, Jingliu can lend players everything they need to topple the game’s toughest bos

Iron Cavalry Against the Scourge Set focuses on maximizing the DMG of its user by giving them up to 25% DEF-ignore to their Break and Super Break DMG . When comparing Iron Cavalry Against the Scourge to Thief of Shooting Meteor, you’ll find the Iron Cavalry Set is more offensive since Thief revolves around increasing its user’s Break Effect and restoring Ene

The first 10% Break DMG penetration is easy to get. You simply must make sure the character who equips this Set must have a 150% Break Effect or higher. However, the second part where your character gets to ignore 15% of enemies’ DEF is harder to get since they must have the Super Break DMG term in their kit, or you must include Imaginary MC in the equipping unit’s t

That being said, since Garmentmaker attacks frequently, reaching the max stacks should not be a major issue in most encounters. While Reminiscence is far from ideal compared to higher rarity light cones, it can still be a passable choice for those who lack access to better opti

Lynx has immense value as a 4-Star healer. Lynx can control aggro on the field and even remove debuffs on allies, a somewhat rare trait that only makes her that much more valuable. Gallagher is another respectable 4-Star healer. Not only can he apply healing to single allies, but he can apply a debuff to enemies that allows these allies to gain more healing themsel

The long-awaited sequel to the original, Girls’ Frontline 2: Exilium finally saw its worldwide release this past December after being exclusive to the Chinese Region for the past year. Following the events of the first game, the player takes on the role of “The Commander,” again tasked with leading a group of human-like militaristic robots known as Tactical Dolls (or “T-Dolls” for sh

Beyond these benefits, Time Woven Into Gold also grants a powerful Crit DMG buff that applies to both Aglaea and Garmentmaker, stacking up to six times for immense scaling especially over longer battles. However, unlike characters such as Acheron, who rely on their signature light cone to fully enable their kit, Aglaea does not depend on this weapon to function. While it greatly improves her damage output, she can still perform well with alternative options. This means that players who prioritize pulling for new characters rather than their light cones can afford to skip it, especially if they have strong 4-star alternatives like Sweat Now, Cry L

While Sushang is not the perfect candidate for a Break Effect DPS, she still has some value in this area because of two main abilities in her kit. She can attack multiple times and gain Advanced Action% from multiple sources, which creates a perfect opportunity for players to play her on Break DMG since she’s able to swiftly break enemies’ Toughness. Additionally, Sushang also gets a 40% Break Effect from her E4, which is a nice start to her Break DPS career in Honkai: Star Ra

Bronya and Seele are an iconic duo that defined much of the early Anime game DLC‘s story, and its metagame. Bronya remains one of the best supports in the game with her ability to grant any given teammate an extra turn while buffing their damage. In fact, Bronya has seen a renewed place in the Star Rail meta thanks to newer editions like Boothill. As the game’s first limited-time 5-Star, it’s no wonder Seele came out of the gate swinging, and her role as a Single Target DPS is still only surpassed by a few charact
