S+ Tier characters, Defined
Briefly touched upon above, the S+ Tier options the sport’s meta-defining picks, able to carrying you thru just about all challenges and within the case of each offensive and defensive helps, awaken the utmost in even mid-tier compositions.
Of the characters inside the tier, Feixiao and Acheron are by far the very best DPSs, whereas Ruan Mei steals the present as the very best offensive help given her Break-focused equipment and large buffs. Lastly and to nobody’s shock, Aventurine’s shielding potential and self-buffs make him all however a big gamble when the topic is getting the correct maintain (or defensive) help.
S-Tier characters, Defined
Within the S-Tier, now we have items that though phenomenal in their very own proper, can not match the DMG or effectivity of the above until paired with advantageous circumstances or set teammates. Concerning helps and healers particularly, the most important issue right here would be the weight of their buffs/debuffs or therapeutic output.
The most important instance of the tier lies in Jing Yuan, who even when as soon as one of many sport’s BIS, can not hope to match the general DPS of Acheron and Feixiao with out the usage of S+ helps like Sunday, Robin, or Ruan Mei.
A-Tier characters, Defined
Within the A-Tier of our checklist, now we have characters who’ve a tough time matching the output of the above, even when paired with the correct workforce or state of affairs. That may be attributed to many elements, such because the debut of comparable picks with better-tuned kits or the sport’s shift in focus combat-wise. The most important examples of the tier for me are Clara, who was fully powercrept by Yunli in her finest position, and Kafka, who has been damage by the best way DoT has grow to be much less and fewer useful within the late sport.
B-Tier characters, Defined
Within the B-Tier, now we have characters who both lack the affect of the above or —within the case of its DPSs particularly— demand quite a bit should you want to awaken their full potential, which can normally contain the usage of both one or a number of S+ or S-Tier teammates, in addition to set 5-star Mild Cones. Like Argenti and Herta, lots of the picks listed below are additionally recognized for under excelling at set sport modes, whereas others, like Serval, could be seen as jacks of all trades however masters of none.
C-Tier characters, Defined
On the backside of our Honkai: Star Rail Tier Record, now we have all characters that even when viable within the early to mid-game, fail to match the harm or utility of any of the above even when upgraded to the fullest.
The clearest examples of that may be seen within the Bodily (or Destruction) Trailblazer and Yanking, who’ve been power-creeped to oblivion by just about all characters inside their path or position. Arlan is one other casualty, as he has been unable to supply sufficient to justify his presence within the subject since his debut.
