Exploration in Honkai: Star Rail is linear, but maps are littered with things to do - collectibles, treasure chests, elite enemies, and puzzles populate most of them, which are closely equivalent to traditional JRPG dungeons. The cities that make up hubs for each world visited are interested and diverse, with plenty of lore scattered throughout for those who want to know more about what the universe the Trailblazer inhabits looks l

As a turn-based RPG, one of the most important aspects of the game for new players to grasp is how to build effective teams comps in Honkai: Star Rail , for which there are several factors to consider. Elemental coverage, for example, is vitally important, as exploiting the elemental weaknesses of enemies forms the crux of Star Rail 's combat. Equally important to consider are the character's Paths - essentially, their character classes, which determine their roles in battle, from damage dealing, to buffing/debuffing, to shielding/healing. Luckily, Honkai: Star Rail 's free characters have enough variety in elements and Paths for players to build effective teams without pulling other characters - but some are certainly more effective than oth

Like many other live-service games, Honkai: Star Rail _ provides a number of free characters, some as in-game starter characters and others as rewards for the game's launch, providing a good foundation for new players to supplement with characters pulled from the game's gacha system. Diverging from the real-time action combat of previous HoYoverse games, like _Genshin Impact , Star Rail instead takes the form of a turn-based RPG - although, despite the drastic change in gameplay, many of the game's features and characters will be familiar to players moving over from other games by the same develo

In contrast to the Physical Trailblazer, the Fire Trailblazer is a surprisingly versatile support character that excels at both dealing damage and providing shields. One of Trailblazer's unique abilities is to taunt all enemies, drawing their attacks away from other team members and reducing overall damage ta

Serving as one of the game's starting characters, Dan Heng is surprisingly capable when it comes to his role as a single-target damage dealer, with his Wind element and Hunt Path targeting a common early-game weakness and allowing him to easily break enemies. Complementing his damage dealing prowess, Dan Heng's talent gives him a hefty Wind resistance penetration buff after he's targeted by any ally's ability, boosting his already-impressive damage even further and giving him an easily usable synergy with many Harmony and Preservation characters - including fellow starter character March

Finally, the Trailblazer is Honkai: Star Rail 's main protagonist and pseudo-avatar for the player, similar to Genshin Impact 's Traveler. Uniquely among Star Rail 's playable characters, the Trailblazer essentially comes as a two-in-one package, being able to serve as either Physical Destruction or (after a certain point in the story) Fire Preservation. While the versatility is already a major plus, The Trailblazer is effective in either role, with Physical Destruction being especially valuable for exploiting common Physical weaknesses in the early game, and for its versatility in dealing single-target or multi-target dam

A Fire Harmony character, Asta's skills primarily center around buffing allies, granting a stacking attack boost whenever she hits an enemy, with extra stacks being granted against fire weaknesses. Although the stacks fall off quickly, the boost is still consistent and useful for increasing a team's damage output, especially in combination with Asta's speed-boosting ultimate. As a slight downside, however, Asta is one of the few free characters in the live service Honkai Star Rail 3.1 Update: Star Rail whose element overlaps with another, which has her competing somewhat for a team slot with Fire Trailblazer - although, on the other hand, one of her ascensions does increase the fire damage of other characters, further increasing her usefulness against fire-weak enem
