A-tier

Himeko

Himeko of Honkai Star Rail is a brave scientist who repaired the Astral Express as a young child. She still serves as the Astral Express's guide as she traverses between worlds and is an emanator of the Trailblazer. This 5-Star Fire character can be obtained from the permanent banner.

Himeko, who follows the Path of Erudition, deals with enormous AoE damage to enemies on the battlefield. Her skill, Molten Detonation, scales on her ATK stat and deals an AoE attack to three distinct targets. Additionally, her ultimate, Heavenly Flare, shoots a powerful laser beam from the sky to obliterate any enemies in the area while recovering 10 energy in a single hit.

Trailblazer

During the Cocolia boss fight in the game's first story arc, players can acquire the Fire Trailblazer, a Preservation unit. Despite being free to play, this Fire character is possibly the second-best tank in the entire game. The Fire Trailblazer ranks relatively high on the Fire tier list, thanks to their impressive set of skills and abilities.

The Trailblazer’s Fire variant is an excellent tank to have on your team because they attract opponents to attack with their Skill. When facing strong Elites, especially if they are fire-weak, it is also helpful to build up stacks of Magma Will by hitting or blocking before unleashing massive damage. When facing opponents who are not weak to fire, it will be more difficult for you to make use of the Trailblazer's damage output, although they can still be useful for tempting strikes.

Himeko and Trailblazer are competent enough to be in an A-tier position thanks to their skills and ultimates, but in order to survive on the battlefield, they would need superior Eidolons and an effective squad.

B-tier

Asta

A 4-star Fire character named Asta follows the Path of Harmony and acts as the Herta Space Station’s principal researcher. She is a bright energetic young woman who deals with the Intelligentsia Guild and oversees outspoken workers. She excels at providing her teammates benefits since she follows the Path of Harmony.

Asta's ultimate can boost the speed of each of her comrades. Every time she strikes an enemy, she also gains charge stacks which helps raise your team’s assault based on how many opponents were harmed.

Hook

Hook is a four-star Fire character that follows the Path of Destruction. She is a young girl who leads the mischievous organization known as "The Moles" and dwells in the underworld of Belobog. Players might recall Hook and her amusing little band from the Jarilo-VI campaign. This cheeky character has a lot of DPS potential, and in earlier versions, she was also shown on a number of Character Stellar Wrap banners.

When Hook utilizes her ultimate, it transforms her subsequent skill into a powerful AoE attack. She has the ability to inflict burns on enemies, and when burned enemies are attacked, she recovers energy and deals more fire damage.

Hook and Asta in the B-tier perform admirably in the game, but to maintain these fire characters under the spotlight, they do need a substantial investment in resources and a squad that is tailored exclusively for them.
