The best characters in Honkai: Star Rail

Bailu

• 5 Stars (Permanent Access) / Electric / Abundance

Baylu is the best support character in the game, providing protection for himself and his squad. As a follower of the path of Abundance, she acts asa healer for the whole team, and her Lightning element skills allow her to fight effectively and break through vulnerabilities.

Armor

• 5 stars (permanent access) / Windy / Harmony

Armor is the main support character in Honkai: Star Rail version 1.0. Her path of Harmony specialization allows her to grant useful buffs to team members that increase her damage output. She uses her affinity for the wind to dispel negative statuses cast by her enemies. And although the normal attack is the least of its virtues, it can still be useful in combat.

Zele

• 5 stars (event exclusive access) / Quantum / Hunt

Unsurprisingly, the first character of the Honkai: Star Rail Special Event, Zele, is one of the best on the list and the strongest damage dealer in the game (at least in terms of damage per second). As a follower of the path of the Hunt, Seeley excels as a boss killer. Use it to kill single targets, it cannot attack multiple enemies at once.at the same time.
