SS-tier characters are expected to dominate the meta in Honkai Star Rail 1.4. Each unit possesses an overpowered kit with various abilities.

There are only two Path of Nihility characters in the SS tier of the 1.4 version of the game:

• Kafka
• Silver Wolf

Kafka can quickly vaporize her enemies with little effort. She can deal colossal DoT (Damage over Time).

Meanwhile, Silver Wolf is an exceptional offensive support character. She can debuff her opponents by decreasing their DEF and can also inflict a weakness of an ally’s type on a single enemy.

S tier

S-tier characters are phenomenal and can shine on the battlefield with very little investment.

At the moment, there are only two Path of Harmony characters in the S tier:

• Welt
• Pela

Both Path of Nihility characters are excellent. While Welt can deal high damage to his adversaries and hinder their movements, Pela can remove a buff from a single opponent and reduce their DEF, allowing them to take an increased amount of damage.

A tier

A-tier characters are decent in combat but require a significant amount of investment to give players results.

Three Path of Nihility characters in Honkai Star Rail 1.4 belong to this group:

• Sampo
• Guinaifen
• Luka

All three characters can deal DoT (Damage over Time) but require some Eidolon levels to unlock their full potential.
