Honkai Star Rail relies heavily on correct team combinations and the individual roles of each character in battle. With the large number of characters available, which continues to grow with each major update, it can be difficult for new players to know which character is good or bad in banners. So, after careful consideration and analysis, we have prepared the entire Honkai Star Rail character list.

Note: The characters in each level are not ranked in their order. The characters have also been placed based on their performance in the early, mid and late game. Note that this tier list is subjective, just like any other tier list. You can play whoever you think is the best as long as you enjoy the game.

The SS level characters are the undisputed best for their respective playstyle and position in Honkai Star Rail. Only two of the best characters from each team position (DPS, Support and Sustain) are selected for this tier. You can consider these characters as "Must Pulls" because they provide insane value to any team. If you have them, you can get past the most challenging content in the game.

Jingliu is the strongest DPS character in Honkai Star Rail, with Dan Heng Inbibitor Lunae second. She is a hyper carrier that does crazy Ice Blast damage with her Skill and Ultimate. Her kit allows her to consistently take 3 turns of damage at once – use her skill to enter the Transmigration State, use her Enhanced Skill, and then use her Ultimate.
