Sparkle↑ risingTrailblazer • Preservation↓ fallingHuohuo↑ risingThis tier list ranks Honkai: Star Rail's playable characters by their overall value across the three rotating endgame modes — Memory of Chaos, Pure Fiction, and Apocalyptic Shadow — as of Version 4.4. Tiers blend raw damage, support strength, and how well each unit anchors a modern team: hypercarries like Castorice and Firefly and premium supports and sustains like Sparkle, Huohuo, and Cyrene sit at the top, while once-dominant carries such as Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae and Jing Yuan have slipped as power creep marches on.
Placements map the community consensus that Prydwen, Game8, and other endgame theorycrafters have converged on onto a simple S/A/B/C scale. Newer isn't always better and older isn't always obsolete — investment, Eidolons, and the current content type all move the needle, so treat this as a starting point, as voted by the community. If your favorite is criminally underrated here, that's what the vote buttons are for.
