This Honkai: Star Rail tier list is based on the Character Usage Rate in version 2.2 around the world and the trait of the Characters. These series of articles may help you better choose your characters to fight. 

This article will sort the Lightning characters by D – S.The criteria for each grade are as follows:

• S – The most powerful character in the version, who can cope with various environments and is the main character of the team
• A – There may be a slight flaw in the skill mechanics or skill stats, but it can still get a good game experience with the right combination

1 S:

Acheron

As a five-star Nihility DPS, Acheron has a unique skill mechanic.When Acheron uses her Skill on an enemy, she will gain a stack of Slashed Dream and apply a Crimson Knot stack on the main target.Acheron can also gain Slashed Dream stacks by having other allies inflict debuffs on an enemy.When Acheron gains 9 Slashed Dream stacks, she can unleash her Ultimate. This shows that Acheron does not need energy to deal Ultimate. And in her Tracks, she is bound to have two Nihility characters in the team. These two points allow Acheron to allow other Harmony to go to the ranks that need them more.

In addition, Acheron has the function of ignoring the opponent’s weakness attribute and reducing the enemy’s toughness, It’s a way for her to deal high DMG no matter what kind of enemy she faces.

2 A:

Kafka

Kafka, a five-star Nihility character, is the core of the DOT team. Kafka’s skill mechanics are very perfect, and he can deal high AOE damage as well as Follow-Up attacks. On top of that, her skill can additionally detonate DOT effects on enemies. Its team can choose different allied based on enemy weaknesses. After the Black Swan and Ruan Mei joined, Kafka was even more powerful.

Tingyun

Tingyun is one of the strongest four-star characters. As a Harmony character, She has the ability to charge other characters’ Ultimates. This makes her an irreplaceable role in a single DPS team or a team of characters with a lot of Ultimate energy. In addition, she can also provide some additional DMG and the ability to replenish combat skill points.

3 B:

Jing Yuan

Jing Yuan is the first limited five-star Erudition character in the game, he has a high popularity because of its handsome appearance and unique skill mechanics. Lightning-Lord is Jing Yuan’s Source of DMG, Jing Yuan’s skills and Ultimate can be stacked for the Lightning-Lord. But there is a big flaw in this ability mechanic, when Jing Yuan was controlled, Lightning-Lord couldn’t move either. Another point is that there is no control over the timing of the Lightning-Lord’s attack, which leads to a lot of damage being wasted.

4 C:

Bailu

Bailu as a resident five-star Abundance character, It is a subordinate substitute for players who do not have a limited five-star Abundance character. She heals adequately, and her entire team has a DMG reduction effect when she uses her ultimate. But in today’s game environment where enemies are more and more controlled, Bailu has no ability to uncontrol.This makes it easy for the team to get bogged down by enemy control.

5 D:

Arlan

Alain is a veteran character who is a Lightning and The Destruction path. He is characterized by consuming his own HP to deal DMG to enemies, and the lower his HP, the more DMG he does. It’s a pity that as a four-star character, the skill value is too low, resulting in a serious lack of DMG.

Serval

Serval is Jepard’s sister, a four-star Lightning character with The Erudition path. Serval excel 

in dealing strong Lightning AOE DMG to multiple enemies, as the same time, dealing debeff to enemies. Her skill DMG is not high, although she Ultimate can extend the Shock duration of enemies affected by it, her DMG is still primarily Skill DMG rather than DOT DMG, so she can’t team up with Kafka.

6 Summary

In general, most of the Lightning characters in the Honkai: Star Rail 2.2 version are still in a strong status. Arlan and Serval are four-star characters at the beginning of the game, aside from the two of them, each character still has their own place in the game. Bailu is still a good substitute in the limited five-star Abundance. Jing Yuan received a boost because of Robin’s joining. Until there is no new charge Harmony to join, the position of the Tingyun in this field is unshakable. Kafka and Acheron complement each other, their team is one of the strongest DPS teams in Star Rail. In terms of eidolons and lightcones, such as Acheron’s E2, Jing Yuan’s lightcone, and Kafka’s lightcone are all worth pulling. If not enough Oneiric Shard, Top-Up can improve your overall combat power, which is a better game experience for you.
