Following Ruan Mei in pick rates are Harmony MC (Trailblazer) and Gallagher. Both are perfect Supports for DPS units that focus on dealing damage by inflicting the Weakness Break Status effect. Moreover, Trailblazer (Harmony)’s high pick rate is somewhat expected as players can acquire them for free.

Firefly’s high pick rate is also quite predictable as the Break Effect teams are popular and Firefly is one of the viable BE damage dealers. Additionally, numerous players have summoned her during Honkai Star Rail version 2.3 as she was one of the most anticipated characters.

Next on this popularity list is Robin, followed by Aventurine. Since both are perfect Support units for the FUA (Follow-Up Attack) teams, their pick rate being quite close to each other is not surprising.

Sparkle and Fu Xuan are among the best Buffer and Tank units, respectively. Even after the meta changes, they are quite strong in Honkai Star Rail 2.4. Moreover, Sparkle is the best Support to choose when the DPS unit scales with CRIT DMG. Fu Xuan is a universal Tank unit who can be placed in any team composition and effectively mitigate incoming damage.

Lastly, Dr. Ratio and Topaz’s pick rates are quite close to each other as they are the perfect DPS duo for the FUA team compositions. Both Hunt units can deal explosive damage to their adversaries. Playing with a team featuring both of these units can be exciting as it feels like fighting with a tag team composition.
