Crucially, Gepard can shield his whole team simultaneously with his ult, which gives him the edge over March as a support-focussed character. Given his extra rarity, Gepard of course does everything just a little bit better, from shielding allies to dealing Ice damage. Gepard is essentially the 5-star equivalent to March 7th, who is already one of the best 4-star characters in the game. While she can't quite compete with the specialists in their own areas, she more than makes up for it by being useful in every situation.Ĭlara: 5-Star (permanent) | Physical | The Destruction Gepard She can handle herself extremely well in a variety of combat set-ups, meaning that she's an effective alternative to having both a Hunt and an Erudition character on your team. The game's pre-eminent DPS all-rounder, Clara is kept out of the top tier by her status as a jack-of-all-trades, master–of-none. Seele: 5-Star (event-exclusive) | Quantum | The Hunt As a follower of the Path of the Hunt, Seele is best utilised as a boss killer and can't attack multiple targets at once, but her Quantum elemental attacks hit hard enough that even groups of enemies will fall within a handful of turns. Unsurprisingly, Honkai: Star Rail's first ever special event character is one of the best on the roster, and the strongest DPS in the game at launch. And while her normal attack is the least of her merits, she's no slouch in combat either.īronya: 5-Star (permanent) | Wind | The Harmony Seele Her Path of Harmony specialism allows her to provide useful buffs for DPS team members, as well as using her Wind affinity to dispel harmful debuffs applied by enemies.

As a follower of the Path of Abundance she acts as an unbeatable healer for her team, and her Lightning element skills make for effective offence in combat too.īailu: 5-Star (permanent) | Lightning | The Abundance Bronyaīronya is the game's premier offensive support character in Version 1.0. S-Tier: Best characters in Honkai Star Rail Bailuīailu is easily the best defensive support character in the game at launch.
