The Path of Destruction characters under this tier are phenomenal units and can single-handedly clear various activities in Honkai Star Rail. The SS Tier characters are:

  • Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae
  • Blade

Each character mentioned above is an excellent pick for Star Rail's end-game activities and can vaporize enemies with their massive damage-dealing potential on the battlefield. When placed in a team, each of them is unstoppable.


S Tier

The character under this tier is an excellent DPS unit and can efficiently deal with their enemies. The character placed in the S Tier is:

  • Clara

Clara is a phenomenal character who can not only tank damage dealt by enemies but also deal explosive damage to them. She is an excellent character to clear the end-game activities such as Simulated Universe and Forgotten Hall.


A Tier

The Star Rail character who falls under this tier is decent and can seize the spotlight on the battlefield with proper investment. The Path of Destruction character who belongs in the A Tier is:

  • Hook

Hook is a decent character, but she requires some Eidolon levels and a decent amount of investment to unlock her full potential. She can quickly clear most end-game activities with proper team composition and build.


B Tier

The character under this tier is substandard, as they do not impact the battlefield. The B Tier Path of Destruction character is:

  • Arlan

Arlan is an inferior character in Honkai Star Rail because of his unsatisfactory damage-dealing capabilities, and to shine on the battlefield, he requires all Eidolons and a team built only for him.

He can clear the Simulated Universe while meeting all the requirements, but it is not worthwhile because other characters can clear it quickly with little investment.
