Honkai Star Rail Tier List: Best Characters In 2.2.1

When constructing your ideal Honkai Star Rail team, two primary aspects merit consideration. Firstly, the aesthetic appeal of the units, including whether you appreciate their appearance and backstory. Secondly, the strength of your selected characters and their standing within the current meta.

Honkai Star Rail: Best Characters – Tier List

In this guide, we've organized characters into three distinct roles: Damage Dealers, Buffer/Debuffer, and Defensive Supports.

Each role fulfills specific duties during battles, necessitating careful selection from each category.

It's worth noting that unlike in Genshin Impact, there are no Elemental Reactions. Instead, owing to the turn-based mechanics, enemies possess weaknesses. Certain characters excel at exploiting these weak points, a tactic referred to as Weakness Break.

Damage Dealers

This is by far the largest category, so you have quite a few characters to choose from.

Buffs & Debuffs

Since the game is still pretty new and not a lot of characters have come out yet, the distinction isn't as large here.

Defensive Supports

What would any team be without someone keeping everyone alive? This essential role needs to be selected carefully, so here are your choices.
