5-Star Character Tier List - Honkai: Star Rail
Screen Rant gained access to the closed beta test and, since launch, I've logged several hours into Honkai Star Rail to see how it measures up to more traditional representations of turn-based combat (think Final Fantasy ) and games in the gacha space that have similar pacing (something like Fate/Grand Orde
**Honkai Star Rail feels extremely polished, all things considered. ** There’s definitely some hiccups here and there - missing audio for a character, some cutscenes that are just black on screen rather than animated - but by and large, Honkai Star Rail has a great level of polish to it already. It performed well on PC all throughout testing, and the depth of its systems is impressive, especially for a b
Similar to how each of Genshin 's Archons associates with a single element, the Aeons of Star Rail each follow a singular path - although unlike elements (which do still exist in Star Rail ), Paths are much more similar to character classes. Like the Aeons, each of Honkai: Star Rail 's playable characters follows a certain Path, which has important implications for what role they play in battle. Characters following The Hunt path, for example, focuses primarily on single target damage, while The Erudition focuses on multi-target damage. At launch, there are seven Paths implemented in the game's combat, each serving a different gameplay funct
The best build for **Honkai: Star Rail ** ’s Seele can significantly improve the hero’s already impressive on-field performance. The character from Jarilo-VI, a member of the Wildfire faction in Belobog’s Underworld, is one of the first 5-stars players encounter during their adventures in the main story. She is also the first character to be featured in a character event banner in the gacha system, which makes her one of the most popular heroes at lau
Players can also use the Genius of Brilliant Stars Relic set for Seele’s best build. While it does not build on top of her Speed stat, it does boost The Hunt’s powers. With two pieces, her Quantum DMG is increased by 10%. Four pieces see that she ignores 25% of the DEF stat when attacking weak enemies against Quan

**Even if you’re not a fan of Honkai Impact 3rd or Genshin Impact , this is a game worth checking out. ** The gameplay systems feel highly refined, the story is accessible from the start, and the characters add a lot of charm and customization to the title. I don’t think someone needs to be familiar with HoYoverse’s other works to enjoy Honkai Star Rail , which is a major boon for the game. I also think those who are fans of HoYoverse’s previous titles will find Honkai Star Rail perhaps the best iteration of everything the developer has learned over the years. At least for me, the Honkai Star Rail closed beta has immediately launched the game into my most anticipated upcoming release, ahead of some other heavy hitters like Final Fantasy X
In terms of stats, players will want to boost what makes Seele so special. If they are lucky enough to have In The Night , they should prioritize Speed until they get those 80 Speed points above 100. If they do not have that Light Cone, they can prioritize CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG distribution, ATK, Speed, and Quantum DMG when farming Relics – in that specific order. Speed does play an important role in Seele’s overall performance, but none of her abilities scale from it, so it shouldn’t be such a priority unless they have her signature Light Cone equip
Another option is Return to Darkness , which has a better base ATK (529 at level 80) and boosts the CRIT Rate by 12% . Whenever the user lands a CRIT Hit, there is a 12% chance of dispelling one of the target’s buffs – the effect can only be triggered once per attack. Though it is not a fantastic weapon, it is still very good for Seele’s build in Honkai: Star Rail , as it boosts her CRIT Rate, one of her most important st
Similarly to past HoYoverse games, Honkai: Star Rail 's world has its own slang , much of which can be helpful to know for players wanting to dive deeper into the game's story and lore. This can especially be the case for Star Rail , given its somewhat confusing status as a sort of semi-sequel to Honkai Impact 3rd , taking place in an alternate universe and serving as something of an offshoot to the previous game. Moreover, given the game's status as a turn-based RPG, ditching the more action-focused combat of HoYoverse games, the story could very well be taking a more prominent role - especially with Star Rail taking a more structured approach than the open-world Genshin Impa
