  • Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae
  • Jingliu

Each of the characters stated above is a good choice for Star Rail's end-game activities and can obliterate adversaries on the battlefield with their tremendous damage-dealing potential. When put in a team, they are unstoppable.


S Tier

The character in this tier is an excellent DPS unit who can deal with their adversaries effectively. The S Tier character is as follows:

  • Blade

Blade is a fantastic character who can deal massive damage to a single or numerous enemies in return for his health. He can also regain some health after a follow-up attack, allowing him to be a self-sufficient unit. This makes this character capable of completing end-game activities such as Simulated Universe and Forgotten Hall.


A Tier

The Star Rail characters in this tier are decent and, with sufficient investment, can steal the focus on the battlefield. The following Path of Destruction characters belong in the A Tier:

  • Clara
  • Hook

To reach their full potential, characters in this tier require some high Eidolon levels and a significant investment. With the right team composition and build, they can easily complete most end-game activities.


B Tier

Characters in this tier are subpar because they have little impact on the battlefield. The Path of Destruction B Tier character is:

  • Arlan
  • Trailblazer(Physical)

The characters stated above are inferior in Honkai Star Rail due to their poor damage-dealing skills, and in order to impact the battlefield, these characters require high-level Eidolons and a team formed specifically for them.

They can complete the Simulated Universe while completing all the conditions, but it is not worth the effort because other characters can do so fast and with minimal commitment.
