The Honkai Star Rail 1.6 characters in the SS tier are significantly overpowered than others in this tier list and dominate the title's meta. The Hunt units in this tier are:

• Seele
• Topaz & Numby

Both Hunt characters are phenomenal, but Seele’s playstyle is quite straightforward. Meanwhile, Topaz’s style revolves around launching follow-up attacks to deal absurd damage. Both can single-handedly clear the end-game activities such as the Simulated Universe and Forgotten Halls.

S tier

The sole character in this tier is excellent, but requires some assistance while fighting to utilize their kit to its maximum potential. The Honkai Star Rail 1.6 Hunt unit in the S tier is:

• Dr. Ratio

Dr. Ratio is the latest addition to The Hunt character roster. His playstyle is similar to Topaz & Numby, but requires decent investment to make an impact on the battlefield. When in a team, Dr. Ratio is capable of completing the end-game activities.

A tier

After an extensive investment, players may find the Hunt character in this tier to be worthwhile. The Honkai Star Rail unit in the A tier is:

• Yanqing

Yanqing is one of the standard 5-star characters in this space odyssey. Despite being much stronger than the B tier units, he was rendered obsolete by the recent meta changes to the title. With a few Eidolons, Yanqing can clear most of the challenging activities.

B tier

The Honkai Star Rail 1.6 characters in this tier are overshadowed by other units from SS to A tier. The Hunt units in the B tier are:

• Sushang
• Dan Heng

Both Path of The Hunt characters deal negligible damage to their adversaries, and their pick rate in various challenging activities has dropped significantly. They require a hefty amount of investment, along with a tailor-made team and Eidolons to shine on the battlefield.
