Overall Strength and Consistency
Characters and teams are rated on reliable performance across current endgame content. Ceiling matters, but one best-case result does not set the overall tier.
Fun is the only standard that matters.
Compare the latest HSR character and team tier lists, then check Version 4.5 banner pull priorities while keeping room for playstyle and favorite-character teams.
The HSR team tier list ranks Version 4.5 team cores by build cost, rotation stability, and endgame coverage. Use it to pick a main team, plan a second side, or decide whether a banner unit improves a comp you already play.
Aventurine • Waveflair
Ashveil
Mortenax Blade
Hyacine
Aventurine • Waveflair adds Elation damage, chaining frequent attacks with Ashveil and Mortenax Blade while Hyacine sustains. Aventurine's E1 significantly increases his attack frequency and damage output.
Evanescia
Yao Guang
Elation Trailblazer
Huohuo
Evanescia is the main carry; Yao Guang and Elation Trailblazer speed up the rotation, while Huohuo covers Energy and sustain. Fast and safe, though some damage-reduction mechanics cut into its output.
Silver Wolf LV.999
Sparxie
Yao Guang
Huohuo
Silver Wolf LV.999 handles low-target burst while Sparxie and Yao Guang add damage and keep the rotation moving. Huohuo covers Energy and sustain. Damage spreads thin against larger waves.
Himeko • Nova
Sparkle
Tribbie
Dan Heng • Permansor Terrae
Himeko • Nova works in single-target and AoE fights. Sparkle provides AA, Tribbie adds Vulnerability, and DHPT covers the Astral Express slot plus sustain. Double-AA setups have a higher ceiling.
Filter the Version 4.5 HSR character tier list by element, path, or rarity. This Honkai: Star Rail tier list evaluates characters across Memory of Chaos, Pure Fiction, Apocalyptic Shadow, and Anomaly Arbitration, then weighs support needs, relic pressure, and Eidolon cost.
The notes stick to build decisions: the team a character wants, the drawback that hurts them, and the support or Eidolon check that changes their tier.
At E0, she brings DEF shred, ATK and CRIT DMG buffs, Vulnerability, action advance, and Energy support. That gives her a place in many teams.
Elation's main engine. She raises team Elation, generates Punchline, and gives Aha another turn, accelerating the team's rotation.
His personal damage sits in the top bracket, while his support kit adds Vulnerability, DMG buffs, and DEF shred. He fits a wide range of teams, including Ashveil and Himeko • Nova.
Near-permanent ult uptime and heavy burst keep her at the top. At E1S1, her damage can already match premium Elation and Remembrance teams.
True DMG, SP recovery, Punchline generation, and Crowd Control immunity all fit into one kit. Her burst sets the ceiling for current Elation teams.
Fast, safe, and easy to slot anywhere. Teamwide cleanse plus steady healing make her one of the best universal sustains.
She clears farming content quickly and remains strong in hypercarry setups. More Remembrance units raise all ally memosprites' CRIT DMG, while E1 shores up single-target damage.
She handles both single-target and AoE fights and works well with Welt and Remembrance Trailblazer. Her high-investment ceiling trails the best Elation and Remembrance teams for now.
E0S0 is enough to get the team running, with solid sustained burst. At E2, her damage can comfortably handle every current endgame mode.
Her low-investment edge has faded, but the off-field revive is still one of the best safety nets in the game. High-investment Castorice teams remain competitive.
Every Chrysos Heir receives a unique buff, and E2 is a major breakpoint. E6 is especially valuable for high-investment 0 AV clears.
At E0, Tribbie is less universal than Mortenax Blade. E1 still gives her top-tier support value in teams built around her kit.
Ally attacks trigger his extra FUAs, giving him strong main-carry performance once the team is complete. Mortenax Blade and Tribbie both fit well, but missing key teammates lowers his blind-pull value.
She turns SP changes into a major team DMG buff, while her AoE covers Archer's weak matchup. Outside that core, her current team options are narrow.
Action advance and DMG buffs remain useful, and Himeko • Nova gives Remembrance Trailblazer a strong low-investment team.
A core damage dealer for the new DoT shell. Paired with Kafka and Black Swan, she puts the archetype back into a strong endgame spot.
AoE weakness implant and a longer ult window clean up her rotation. With The Dahlia, her damage and uptime rise sharply.
She enables Super Break before enemies are broken, adds weakness implant and DEF shred, and contributes damage herself. Few Break units cover this many jobs.
These answers cover the HSR tier list questions that most often affect pulls, builds, and team planning.
This Honkai: Star Rail tier list is based on overall account value. A higher rank means the unit or team is reliable, fits enough rosters, pays back its resource cost, and holds up in endgame.
Both, with a bias toward planning. Newer players can use it to avoid expensive dead ends; endgame players can use it to compare second-team upgrades and pull value.
Peak damage is only one check. A unit drops when the setup needs rare supports, high Eidolons, awkward speed tuning, or matchups that do not show up often in endgame.
Use the HSR tier list as a shortlist, then check your roster. Missing sustain, missing a main carry, or missing a core support can change the best pull even when the tier rank stays the same.
The top of the HSR team tier list marks the safest cores overall. Weaknesses, turbulence or blessing effects, and your investment can still put another team ahead for a specific fight.
Tier lists choose different targets. This HSR tier list weighs overall account value, so it may place a low-cost team above a higher-ceiling setup that asks for more pulls.
