Best Honkai Star Rail team comp

It’s highly unlikely that you’ll make the best Honkai Star Rail team comps from the get-go. This is because you get new characters by pulling them from Warps, in a system that resembles other Hoyoverse gacha games such as Genshin Impact. However, should you get extremely lucky and pull the very best characters, you’ll need to know how to set up the best team.

For starters, you need a party of four Honkai Star Rail characters to make up the most powerful Honkai Star Rail team comps. You can take inspiration from our Honkai Star Rail tier list to choose your individual members and build a party around them but don’t expect to be able to build it in the free PC game immediately. You’ll also need to be extremely lucky to pull the best light cones, as these are your primary weapons.

How to make the best Honkai team comp

To make the ideal Honkai Star Rail team comps, you need one or two DPS units, one or two party members from the Harmony or Nihility path, and one member from the Preservation or Abundance path.

We know that some characters, such as Seele and Jing Yuan, are five-stars pulled from the Honkai Star Rail banner. In fact, the only characters we can be confident about being available to the player for free are the two Trailblazers (Physical and Fire). This is because they’re required to increase Honkai Star Rail equilibrium levels.

Honkai Star Rail free characters team comp

To get you started, here is a team comp based on free characters from the start of the game:

The sub-stats for all characters in this build in terms of priority are as follows:

• Dan Heng – Crit > Attack % > Speed > Break
• Serval – Crit > Attack % > Speed > Break
• Asta – Speed > Break > Crit > Attack %
• Trailblazer (Fire) – Defence % > Defence > Speed > Effect Resistance

Since you will likely pull Asta from your first Warp, this combines the best of the free characters into one party. Dan Heng is your main DPS, and his skill to reduce enemy speed upon a critical hit makes his ultimate skill more lethal. Serval picks up the slack as the other DPS character, relying on Lightning damage over time to slowly whittle down the enemy. Asta increases your speed and attack stats for all allies, buffing the damage output for your DPS units, while March 7th uses her shields to protect allies while chipping away whenever an enemy attacks them.

If you weren’t able to get Serval by pre-registering the game, you could instead put Trailblazer (Fire) in her place with Texture of Memories (Premium) or Amber (F2P) for the Light Cone and Knight of Purity Palace and Belobog of the Architects for the Relics. Her sub-stats would be distributed as Defence % > Defence > Speed > Effect Resistance

Best Honkai Star Rail premium team comp

If you are lucky enough to get all of the five-star characters in the game, here is the best Honkai Star Rail team comp:

The sub-stats for all characters in this build in terms of priority are as follows:

• Seele – Crit > Speed > Attack % > Break
• Bronya – Crit Damage > Speed (after DPS) > Break
• Tingyun – Attack % > Speed > Break
• Bailu – HP% > HP > Speed

The idea behind this build is that Seele will benefit from all of the buffs from her teammates. Bronya uses her skill to give Seele another attack, which means she kills enemies quicker and thus increases the chance of her Resurgence talent triggering. Other teammate buffs from Tingyun and Bronya will increase attack power as well. To keep everyone healthy, Bailu is your main healer, and she can even bring back one fallen party member per battle, so you have a bit of insurance against particularly tough foes.

And that’s the best Honkai Star Rail team comp.
