S-Tier Damage Dealer

Jingliu

Jingliu

Jingliu is on a god level when it comes to damage. She's the best ice DPS in Honkai Impact 3rd: Star Rail and is a menace when her Syzygy reaches two stacks, and she gets her Crit boost.

Argenti

Argenti

Another OP pick in Honkai Impact 3rd: Star Rail. Argenti generates energy faster while facing many enemies. Argenti's performance is optimal while facing off against more than one target.

Dan Heng

Dan Heng IL

Dan Heng has one of the best DPS in Honkai: Star Rail, turning into a great pick, especially if you want some massive single target damage.

Seelee

Seelee

Dan Heng has one of the best DPS in Honkai Impact 3rd: Star Rail, turning into a great pick, especially if you want some massive single-target damage.

Quinque

Qingque

She has great DPS but unstable damage, which can be played around by experienced Honkai Impact 3rd: Star Rail players. Overall, Quinqiu is a solid choice.

A-Tier Damage Dealer

Blade

Blade

Blade has some serious DPS and overall damage, and he's equally good with single-target and many enemies. However, he relies heavily on HP.

Clara

Clara

Clara deals solid damage while taunting enemies. However, her weakness lies in the cover of the buff by her ultimate. This doesn't make her any less of a good pick in Honkai Impact 3rd: Star Rail.

Jing Yuan

Jing Yuan

Jin Yuan's Lightning-Lord offers some serious damage, and he's equally effective against both single and multiple targets.

Kafka

Kafka

Kafka could be a menace in the right player's hands, as she focuses on damage over time—a slow and methodical playstyle not suitable for everyone.

B-Tier Damage Dealer

Hook

Hook

Like Kafka, Hook is a damage over time type of character in onkai: Star Rail 1.5. While she could be a viable choice, she falls short compared to all the other characters listed before.

Shushang

Sushang

Sushang is a physical character, relying on DPS. However, she lacks in various aspects, but she's still not a horrible pick.

Yanqlink

Yanqing

Yanqling is an alright choice for a character, baring in mind the decent DPS and Damage. He is slightly better with single-traget damage but he requires too much energy.

C-Tier Damage Dealer

Herta

Herta

Herta is not performing well in Honkai Impact 3rd: Star Rail 1.5, as she can be countered easily by enemies.

Dan Heng

Dan Heng

Dan Heng finds itself in a lower tier due to its weak damage output. Currently, its state in the game is not good.

Himeko

Himeko

Despite her great passive, Himeko lacks in other departments, including her low damage.

Several

Serval

Serval just falls short to impress, especially compared to other DoT characters.

Trailblazer

Trailblazer

Trailblazer (Physical) is not doing well in this meta, unlike Trailblazer (Fire), which has good tanking and decent blast damage.

D-Tier Damage Dealer

Arlan

Arlan

Arlan seems to be performing worse and worse with each Honkai Impact 3rd: Star Rail update. They're not a good choice in the current meta, as they're overall too weak.
