Having **Honkai: Star Rail ** ’s best 4 and 5-star characters in a team comp can significantly improve the party’s overall performance in battle. This can be done either by damaging or taking out opponents more effectively or by providing some sort of support to the other characters. Developer HoYoverse’s turn-based RPG has seven Paths, which function as RPG roles in the game. Although no single role is necessarily better, a few characters from some roles work better in teams than oth

Jing Yuan is a 5-Star Lightning character of the Erudition path in **Honkai: Star Rail ** and using the best builds for him can give players a massive advantage. He is the general of the Cloud Knights, the military of the Xianzhou Alliance. He is a careful strategist who keeps peace aboard the Xianzhou Luofu. When Jing Yuan enters combat, he summons Lightning-Lord, which deals extra damage in follow-up attacks. A good Jing Yuan build takes advantage of Lightning-Lord to overwhelm the fi

The Birth of the Self Light Cone can increase follow-up attack DMG by up to 48%, with an additional 32% increase when the target has less than 50% health left. While it does nothing for Jing Yuan himself, the Light Cone's passive can still boost Lightning-Lord's attacks. If players still don't have Before Dawn or cute Hsr charactershonkai The Birth of the Self, they can make do with either Data Bank or Make The World Clamor for their Ultimate bo

If Bailu is not available, mainly due to her 5-star status, Natasha is the best 4-star Honkai: Star Rail substitute. Another of the three characters in The Abundance Path as of launch, the medic is a great healer to have and upgrade. She lacks the restoration potential that Bailu presents but is also completely dedicated to keeping her teammates alive for as long as possi

When it comes to Paths, players should look for balanced teams to cover broader encounters. Having a team full of The Destruction characters may not be advantageous when facing large groups of heavy-hitting opponents, for example. Similarly, only having The Abundance characters will see a prejudicial lack of damage output that will likely make players’ progressions slow down significantly. Having a striker (The Destruction), a buffer (The Harmony), a shielder (The Preservation), and a healer (The Abundance), for example, is a better spread team for Honkai: Star Rail ’s gameplay. Nonetheless, team comps will ultimately come down to character availability, their respective skills, and player prefere

Should players have no good copies of Inert Salsotto, Jing Yuan can make do with Celestial Differentiator. This Planetary Ornament can boost Crit DMG by 16% but has a higher barrier to unlock its second perk. Here, Jing Yuan needs a Crit DMG of 120% to increase his Crit Rate by 60% for his first attack. Again, inert Salsotto is preferred, but Celestial Differentiator can work well if players focus on Jing Yuan himself rather than Lightning-L

**Honkai: Star Rail ** ’s release date was revealed by developer HoYoverse following the end of its final closed beta testing period. The game is a turn-based RPG from the same creators of the popular open-world RPG, Genshin Impact . Although Star Rail is, technically, part of the Honkai franchise, it is something of a side story, told apart from the Honkai Impact series. The title follows the adventures of the main character, known as the Trailblazer, along with the many allies they make along the way – particularly, those of the Astral Express, such as Himeko, Dan Heng, and March 7th, for insta

The confirmed Honkai: Star Rail characters at launch are expected to be the same ones as those featured in the final open beta. In HoYoverse’s press release regarding the release date, there is no mention whatsoever about any new characters being added with the launch, meaning that the game will come out with the same 27 playable heroes it had in its most recent testing period. If there is a plan for a new character release along with the game itself, the developer will likely make an announcement closer to the launch. The most recent characters to be added were Bailu, Yanqing, Qingque, and Ting

Gepard is a character in Honkai Star Rail who specializes in defense and is particularly good at absorbing damage. His unique ability to draw enemies towards him makes him an ideal choice for distracting and drawing enemy attacks away from more vulnerable teammates. Additionally, Gepard has a powerful Ultimate Skill that can create a shield to protect his allies from incoming dam

His Feet can focus on either ATK% or Break Effect. Meanwhile, his Planar Sphere should boost his Lightning DMG, while his Link Rope should bump up his Energy Recharge rate. This will allow Jing Yuan to use his Ultimate more often. The best sub-stats are Crit Rate, Crit DMG, and ATK%. While Before Dawn is sure to remain Jing Yuan's best Light Cone in **Honkai: Star Rail ** , players should be on the lookout for any Relics or Planetary Ornaments that adjust follow-up attacks. If something can make Lightning-Lord stronger, it is good to pursue. Crit stats are always useful, while ATK% bonuses can help scale Lightning-Lord's
