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

The turn-based combat itself is also an immediate joy, with seamless animations making the initial battles feel flashy and impactful even while they're largely getting players up to speed on Star Rail 's gameplay systems. There are seven elements that serve as means to break enemy weaknesses, and balancing a team that's spread out with these elements while also functional represents a significant challenge. Traditional roles like tank and healer are somewhat subverted here - though there's obvious representations of both - and flexibility seems to be the name of the game when it comes to Honkai: Star Rail. The ability to swap teammates after previewing an enemy's weaknesses on the map helps ensure there are a minimum of ill-prepared fights that feel unwinna

As a turn-based RPG, one of the most important aspects of the game for new players to grasp is how to build effective teams comps in Honkai: Star Rail , for which there are several factors to consider. Elemental coverage, for example, is vitally important, as exploiting the elemental weaknesses of enemies forms the crux of Star Rail 's combat. Equally important to consider are the character's Paths - essentially, their character classes, which determine their roles in battle, from damage dealing, to buffing/debuffing, to shielding/healing. Luckily, Honkai: Star Rail 's free characters have enough variety in elements and Paths for players to build effective teams without pulling other characters - but some are certainly more effective than oth

Her ability immediately restores HP to one character and provides a heal-over-time buff for two turns. Healing is crucial in Star Rail. As you might expect, in any game where you take damage, you need to have a way to recover lost HP in a pinch. Suffice it to say that this skill will be crucial for challenging batt

Even if 5-star Light Cones are the best for pairing up with Seele’s attributes, there are still a few good 4-star choices for players to pick from. The best 4-star option for her build is Only Silence Remains. Dan Heng’s signature Light Cone has a forgettable base ATK stat (476 at level 80) but increases the user’s ATK by 16% . In addition, it increases their CRIT Rat by 12% if there are two or fewer enemies on the fi

The hero follows the Erudition Path in Honkai: Star Rail ’s combat system . This means that she specializes in hitting multiple targets at once with AoE (area of effect) attacks, and her skills certainly reflect that. She is also one of the few Fire characters in the game as of Version 1.0, making her extremely valuable for facing some opponents that may be weak against the element. With the proper build for Himeko in Honkai: Star Rail , her powers can be substantially increased, to the point that her optimization makes her indispensable in most team comps – mainly by acting as a secondary DPS that supports the team with damage out

A Fire Harmony character, Asta's skills primarily center around buffing allies, granting a stacking attack boost whenever she hits an enemy, with extra stacks being granted against fire weaknesses. Although the stacks fall off quickly, the boost is still consistent and useful for increasing a team's damage output, especially in combination with Asta's speed-boosting ultimate. As a slight downside, however, Asta is one of the few free characters in the live service Honkai: Star Rail whose element overlaps with another, which has her competing somewhat for a team slot with Fire Trailblazer - although, on the other hand, one of her ascensions does increase the fire damage of other characters, Cerydra support Kit further increasing her usefulness against fire-weak enem
