How do we rank characters in our Honkai Star Rail tier list?
The team at Pocket Tactics personally plays Honkai Star Rail and we discuss amongst ourselves which characters are the best in different situations. We consider the different skills each character has that make them more proficient in their role as a tank, healer, or DPS on your team.
We also think that if you buildyour characters well you should use whoever you like mostas long as your team has a good structure – i.e. can hit an enemy’s weakness, heal when your health gets low, and tank some damage if needs be. Games are meant to be fun,so play in a way that suits you best!

How do I perform a Honkai Star Rail reroll?
We don’t recommendyou do aHonkai Star Rail reroll as it takes some time, you need multiple email addresses, and the five-star rates are pretty low so you may have to do it multiple times. However, if you’re set on it, here’s how you perform a Honkai Star Rail reroll:
- Start the game and complete the tutorial segment to unlock the warp option, this takes about one hour
- Roll for some characters in whichever banner you like
- If you don’t like your roll, log out of your account
- Create a new account with a different email address
- Repeat these steps until you get the Honkai Star Rail character you want
There you have it! We hope you manage to nab one of the S-rank characters from our list.
That’s everything we’ve got for you in our Honkai Star Rail tier list. Make sure you check out our Honkai Impact charactersand HonkaiStar Rail bannerguides for more mobile RPG goodness.
