5) Luocha

Luocha is a foreign trader wielding the Imaginary element and treading the Abundance path. In version 1.1 Galactic Roaming, Luocha got his first limited-time banner with a boosted drop rate. He excels at healing his allies on the battlefield.

Luocha's skill restores one of his allies' HP, while his ultimate removes a buff and deals Imaginary damage to all enemies on the battlefield. Whenever he uses his skill or ultimate, he gains a stack of Abyss Flower. When it reaches two stacks, Luocha deploys a field against all enemies, which heals his allies whenever they hit the target.

After Luocha’s release in version 1.2, he has been dominating Honkai Star Rail’s meta as the best healer. Compared to Bailu, another good healer, Luocha’s kit feels far superior and can single-handedly keep his allies alive on the battlefield. In the upcoming version of Honkai Star Rail, Luocha needs to be balanced as his pick rate in various activities skyrocketed.


4) Seele

The key member of the Wildfire faction, Seele, wields the Quantum element and follows the Hunt path, specializing in single-target damage. Since her release, she has dominated the meta.

Seele's kit consists of a skill that increases her SPD stat for two turns while dealing Quantum damage to a single enemy. Similarly, her ultimate also inflicts Quantum damage. Her passive ability grants her an additional turn upon defeating an enemy.

Since her release, Seele has been dominating Honkai Star Rail’s meta and is currently Star Rail’s best single-target DPS character. Thanks to her kit, she can instantly vaporize enemies, which can sometimes be tedious for players. Therefore, Seele should be balanced in Honkai Star Rail Version 1.3.


3) Kafka

One of the Stellaron Hunters Duo, Kafka is the latest addition to the Honkai Star Rail character roster. She wields the Lightning element and follows the Nihility path, specializing in dealing DoT(damage over time) damage.

Kafka's kit is relatively simple and consists of a skill that deals Lightning damage to two enemies adjacent to each other. Her ultimate, upon activation, deals Lightning damage to all enemies on the battlefield with a chance of them getting afflicted with Shock for two turns. Her passive talent allows her to launch a follow-up attack when a single ally hits a foe with a basic move.

Kafka has been dominating the game’s meta with her DoT capabilities. She can single-handedly melt her opponents with her kit in various end-game activities. Given how she overpowers most of her enemies, Kafka needs to be balanced in the upcoming version of Honkai Star Rail.


2) Blade

The other half of the Stellaron Hunters Duo, Blade, is one of the newest Honkai Star Rail characters. Treading on the Destruction path, he wields the Wind element and specializes in dealing damage to multiple enemies at once on the battlefield.

Blade's kit revolves around inflicting wind damage on his opposition. His skill consumes HP and enhances his basic attack for three turns. Meanwhile, his ultimate deals Wind damage to all adversaries on the battlefield.

Whenever Blade receives a hit or consumes his HP, he gains a stack of charge. When this stack reaches the maximum, it allows his passive talent to activate and launch a follow-up attack on all enemies.

Blade can quickly clear most end-game activities in Honkai Star Rail. His ability to heal himself means he can single-handedly defeat elite and boss enemies. In Honkai Star Rail version 1.3, Blade needs to be balanced as he can dish out massive damage without any support characters aiding him on the battlefield.


1) Jing Yuan

Jing Yuan is the general of Xianzhou Luofu's Cloud Knights. He follows the Erudition path and wields the Lightning element. Thanks to the former, he excels in dealing AoE (Area of Effect) damage to his adversaries.

His kit is fairly simple, with both of his abilities inflicting Lightning damage on all enemies on the battlefield. Jing Yuan's damage-dealing potential comes from his passive talent, which summons a Lightning-Lord that deals Lightning damage to three adjacent enemies.

Jing Yuan is Star Rail’s best character, specializing in AoE damage. Thanks to his Lightning Lord, he can single-handedly dish out massive damage against his enemies. As such, Jing Yuan is one of the most overpowered characters in Honkai Star Rail and needs to be balanced in the upcoming version.
