• Clara
• Bailu
• Welt

The characters in this Tier are subject to power creep and are great with an appropriate amount of investment.

• Serval
• Pela
• Sampo
• Hook
• Qingque
• Natasha
• Dan Heng

All A Tier characters are great, but to bring out their full potential, they need a higher level of Eidolons and an excellent team to assist them on the battlefield. These characters can quickly clear most activities with a good build and team composition.

B Tier

The Honkai Star Rail characters who fall under this Tier are power crept and overshadowed by characters excelling in the same field. The B Tier Characters are:

• Sushang
• March 7th
• Herta
• Trailblazer (Preservation)

These characters can perform well in the end-game activities such as Simulated Universe but require an abnormal amount of investment and teams made only for them to be under the spotlight.

C Tier

The characters under this tier have no value in the game meta-wise and are a prime example of power creep.

• Arlan
• Trailblazer (Destruction)

Arlan's kit requires him to lose HP to deal damage, which can be very deficient in various activities, and the characters are simply inferior.
