Join us as we delve into the latest rankings of the best DPS units in Honkai: Star Rail, exploring the intricacies of their kits and the strategies that make them shine, like beacons of light in the darkness of the unknown.

The Top 10 DPS Units in Honkai: Star Rail

In the world of Honkai: Star Rail, the line between heroism and destruction is blurred. The top DPS units are a testament to this blurred line, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Let’s explore the cosmic tapestry of these formidable warriors:

1. Acheron

“The cosmos is a vast and mysterious place, full of secrets waiting to be uncovered.” – Acheron’s in-game description. This enigmatic warrior has proven herself to be an excellent DPS, capable of unleashing an insane amount of damage with the right investment. Her reliance on her Light Cone or E2, however, makes her a challenging addition to any team.

2. Feixiao

“A true warrior is not one who seeks to destroy, but one who seeks to protect.” – Feixiao’s in-game description. As a single-target follow-up DPS, Feixiao has established herself as one of the best in the game. Her ability to deal great damage with her follow-up attacks and cast her Ultimate makes her a top-tier DPS in combat.

3. Firefly

“The fire that burns within me is a flame that cannot be extinguished.” – Firefly’s in-game description. This fiery DPS has raised the bar for units in the game, dealing an insane amount of damage in any game mode. Her ability to consume many Skill Points, however, makes her a challenging addition to any team.

4. Boothill

“The space cowboy may be a relic of the past, but his spirit lives on in the hearts of those who ride the stars.” – Boothill’s in-game description. This Space Cowboy has proven himself to be a formidable single-target Break DPS, excelling at killing bosses and breaking their Toughness. His greatest weakness, however, lies in his inability to handle multiple targets.

5. Rappa

“The power of the cosmos is not to be underestimated, but it is also not to be feared.” – Rappa’s in-game description. As a strong Break DPS, Rappa is capable of handling Memory of Chaos and Pure Fiction with ease. Her ability to ignore enemies’ Toughness makes her a valuable ally to any team.

6. Yunli

“The path to enlightenment is not an easy one, but it is a journey worth taking.” – Yunli’s in-game description. This DPS unit’s kit is similar to Clara’s, with some needed improvements. Her ability to rely on herself to fill her Ultimate and her immunity to CC make her a strong addition to any team.

7. Argenti

“The choice is not always clear-cut, but the path we choose is what defines us.” – Argenti’s in-game description. This unique DPS unit has a special Ultimate system, allowing him to choose between a full-power Ultimate or a weaker one to finish off small enemies.

8. Dr. Ratio

“The pursuit of knowledge is a never-ending journey, and one that I am proud to be a part of.” – Dr. Ratio’s in-game description. As a reliable follow-up attacker, Dr. Ratio can continuously trigger his follow-up attack, dealing large damage without players even noticing it.

9. Topaz and Numby

“The power of friendship is a force to be reckoned with, and one that I am honored to be a part of.” – Topaz and Numby’s in-game description. This duo is a strong follow-up attack support, capable of placing debuffs on enemies that cause them to take more follow-up attack damage.

10. Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae

“The destruction of the cosmos is not a goal to be achieved, but a reality to be accepted.” – Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae’s in-game description. This Destruction character is an excellent AoE unit that still works amazingly in single-target cases, but he demands a lot of Skill Points and a specific team composition.

Honorable Mentions

The cosmic dance of DPS units extends beyond our top 10, with these stellar performers deserving recognition:

  • Seele: “The line between heroism and destruction is blurred, and it is up to us to choose which side we stand on.” – Seele’s in-game description. This single-target one-shot-one-kill character is a monster unit that can be useful anytime, anywhere in the game.
  • Jingliu: “The power of the cosmos is not to be underestimated, but it is also not to be feared.” – Jingliu’s in-game description. This Destruction character is amazing at AoE damage dealing, but she has more demanding set-ups to fulfill.
  • Himeko: “The pursuit of knowledge is a never-ending journey, and one that I am proud to be a part of.” – Himeko’s in-game description. This Erudition character is a strong AoE damage dealer, but she’s not viable in most single-target cases.
