Honkai: Star Rail Character Tier List

Honkai: Star Rail Character Tier List

After the recent edition of Firefly, Honkai: Star Rail is now host to fifty-two characters when including the Trailblazer's three variants. Jade is the next character after Firefly , Gacha Games and she is sure to shake up the meta as well. Each new character tends to improve other characters through new team compositions, or lessen their relevance thanks to powercreep. Understanding the ranking of characters will help to make the most of the 2.3 upd

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

A great aspect of Arena is that it offers different "formats" for gameplay, which can range in card options, deck size, and overall difficulty, so it can appeal to both new and veteran players alike. Not to mention its free-to-play status on both PC and mobile platforms makes it a great way for card game fans to get their Magic fix eas

Kafka is the shining example of a character who excels with the right support, and she is one of Honkai: Star Rail 's most popular characters for it. Damage-Over-Time, or DoT, is a very popular team archetype, and it's one that Kafka dominates with ease. However, if a player lacks the necessary support to bring this type of team online, Kafka will have to wallow for awhile until those needs are

Jade is known in Honkai: Star Rail 's story as one of the Ten Stonehearts, and a manager in IPC's Strategic Investment Department. When it comes to her gameplay however, she's an AoE oriented character that can function both as sub-DPS or main DPS, depending on team compositions players have in hand. This is because her primary utility is her follow-up attacks, which can be performed based on her Debt Collector Mechanic, which can be either used on herself, or on an ally in order to buff t

Further than just its unique atmosphere and colorful cast of characters , Limbus Company’s combat system is perhaps its biggest selling point. It functions in a different way than the average turn-based system, where each sinner has their own set of skills laid out during battle — dragging across the line of skills will connect them to form a chain of powerful attacks. It makes the battle system more freeing and engaging overall, giving the player lots of options for different attack cha

The bundle itself includes two different styles of game, with the first being a 3D Dungeon-Crawler, and the other two being Top-Down RPGs (both having turn-based combat systems). While these three classic titles belong to the same broader universe, they all follow different storylines and characters, so each experience offers something unique. Perhaps the best part about Shining Force Classics is that the developers have kept faithful to the originals with only minor improvements added — like a better save system, leaderboards, and controller supp

Taking place 18 years after a catastrophic event, Franzen ’s dystopian world is now filled with evil creatures called "Daemon" that the player must face along the way. It’s very reminiscent of the early Final Fantasy titles, from its 16-bit graphics to its [active time battle] sys

Adding to the long list of titles in the franchise, Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket recently came to Android & iOS this past October, offering the wildly popular card game in a more approachable and accessible for

Honkai: Star Rail is the most recent installment in the Honkai series, featuring a colorful, eye-catching art style and having perhaps one of the most unique settings on this list. Players are put in control of up to four characters as they battle across various locations in space, starting off on the Astral Express, a large space train that has been overrun with Alien-like creatu

Robin is one of the characters most defined by her Ultimate. Due to her combined ability to grant the entire team an extra turn, sizeable damage buffs to herself and allies, and strong synergy with follow-up teams and generalist compositions alike, Robin is invaluable within Honkai: Star Rail 's metagame . Aventurine serves best in conjunction with Robin, and alongside other follow-up characters. However, he is a very strong Sustain in his own right, with his shields contributing a lot of value to any t

Black Swan's playstyle is complimentary to Acheron's, as she often helps immensely to guarantee Acheron's Ultimate. However, Black Swan is viable in her own right thanks to her Arcana mechanic. She is very comfortable slotting onto DoT teams, even redefining the archet
