The Honkai Star Rail characters in this tier are phenomenal. Each one possesses a flawless kit that is capable of dealing an absurd amount of damage to their opponents.

The units that deserve to be in the SS tier are:

• Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae
• Blade
• Kafka
• Jingliu
• Seele

Each of these characters can easily dominate the battlefield without Eidolons, and they do not require a significant amount of investment. When the units are fitted with the right piece of equipment, they can vaporize their opponents in an instant.

Characters who fall under the S tier are great DPS options but require a little help to shine on the battlefield. The units in the S tier are:

• Topaz & Numby
• Argenti
• Jung Yuan
• Clara

These characters are not as powerful as the units in the SS tier. However, they can easily defeat opponents when on the right team.

A-tier characters used to be powerful but fell out of the Honkai Star Rail meta in recent game versions. The units in this tier are:

• Yanqing
• Himeko
• Guinaifen
• Sushang
• Hook
• Dan Heng

These characters require a team specifically tailored for them to enhance their damage-dealing capabilities. While characters like Yanqing and Himeko are good enough on their own, Hook, Dan Heng, and Sushang require some assistance on the battlefield to make an impact.

The Honkai Star Rail DPS characters who deserve to be in the B tier are:

• Serval
• Qingque
• Herta
• Trailblazer (Destruction)
• Arlan

These characters require a significant amount of investment to make an impact in end-game activities such as Simulated Universe.
