Honkai Star Rail fans had plenty to say today — here's a look.
A player is frustrated by the absurd strength of a newly released character while questioning the viability of older team comps.

Data already shows v1 Pearl is top tier at both E2 and E6, and tests show Silver Wolf clears stuff for the lowest cost compared to even King.

You definitely want Huohuo or Hianci for the Aventurine sustain spot, though at E0 maybe it was worse than Blade. If no nerfs, Silver Wolf with Pearl matches or overtakes them in 4.6, and then breaks the game with Stella in 4.7. Silver Wolf being #1 is locked in, but where Aventurine and others land depends on Stella, and Himeko can just sleep till Mikhail next year.

Pretty sure the others can still clear Night mode post-5.0. Only Silver Wolf's team gets that shill treatment like current Memory though, so just pull new characters ig.
Commenter
Fair enough for f2p/low spenders. Guess we're looking at E2 as the baseline then?
Commenter
Thinking Silver Wolf with Pearl v1 won't easily crush Aventurine's follow-ups once Stella drops just makes you a blind believer lol...
Commenter
Literally couldn't care less about E6 benchmarks tbh.
Commenter
Wait, isn't Silver Wolf gonna be the undisputed E6 king once Stella drops anyway?
Commenter
Need Qingque to become the true General first...
Commenter
I mean, Silver Wolf basically is that already.
Commenter
Robin is already wild, but Aventurine's visual effects are just way too goofy, which is kinda funny. Still annoying how both of them are fighting over the third slot in the Blade-Phantylia team though.
Commenter
Sparkle is supposed to be a skill-point support, but for some reason her E6 barely triggers and just buffs follow-up skills—such a weird mismatch and super weak. Gotta be a buff incoming, right?
Commenter
She gets a pass cause she looks cute, but a gacha game character using cheats and running rampant is literally like 80% of why online Chinese players get a bad rep lmao.
Commenter
Dropping Phantylia for Aventurine, Blade, Robin, and Hyacinthe actually sounds kinda cracked though. Wait, what about the leftover Phantylia... are we supposed to run her with E6 Seele or something?
Commenter
I mean, like 90% of Chinese players use cheats anyway.
Commenter
Skipped her because her skill voice line "Watch this!" sounded mad annoying. But now that I've actually played the story she's growing on me and I'm lowkey having regrets, ahha.
Commenter
Silver Wolf being #1 is 1000% cap. Silver-simp garbage is so gross ngl.
Commenter
Love Sparkle too pls
Commenter
CN 0-cycle Bilibili clips for reference tho: Silver Wolf 5-cost with 68 action value left, and Aventurine 5-cost with 2 left, Hyacinthe 6-cost with 26 left.
Commenter
I mean, people keep yelling for more male characters, but literally no game ever gets hyped during a male-dominated meta...
Commenter
Didn't even check Aventurine's stats in the trial, but he was pumping out some crazy numbers...
Commenter
Sparkle is gonna go absolutely nuts as a main DPS if we ever get a Skill-Point based support like an Elation version of Hanabi.
Commenter
Natlan and Fontaine had completely different levels of story writing ngl.
Commenter
You can use her in the interlude so might as well try it out. Feels more like a follow-up attacker than pure Elation. Probably insanely strong, so skip if you don't care about follow-up teams.
Commenter
Is it cool to grab swimsuit Robin and skip Aventurine? If Pearl is already taking the healer slot for Silver Wolf and Hya, we don't even need the guy.
Commenter
Aventurine is basically a follow-up main DPS, so isn't he more of a Phantylia slot replacement? His side-buffs are kinda weak so I don't really see the point in swapping Phantylia out for him.
Commenter
Aventurine's overworld tech looks fun, making me kinda wanna pull. Definitely prioritizing Pearl first though.
Commenter
Whatever, let Silver Wolf be #1 already. She's the anniversary unit after all. I don't even like her or have her, but I gotta give credit where it's due. Still pulling Stella and Pearl for my faves regardless.
Commenter
Please just let Qingque have her glow-up and become a 5-star Elation SP support already.
