As shown in the image above, all Honkai Star Rail Wind characters are organized into a tier list. To ensure a fair evaluation, all units have been analyzed without taking Eidolons into account.


SS tier

Characters in this tier currently dominate the title's meta and have an excellent kit. The SS tier Wind characters are:

  • Blade
  • Bronya

Blade joined the Wind character roster during the first phase of version 1.2. He can deal colossal damage to his opponents by consuming his HP. Blade's kit allows him to complete the challenging activities in Honkai Star Rail by himself.

On the other hand, Bronya excels in buffing her allies and allowing them to deal an outstanding amount of damage. She is one of the standard 5-star characters in this space odyssey and is obtainable by rolling in the Stellar Warp banner.

When working as a team, both characters can quickly complete the most difficult tasks.


S tier

This tier's character is outstanding and works well with a variety of Honkai Star Rail team compositions. The character in this tier is:

  • Huohuo

Huohuo is a 5-star character who is the newest addition to the Wind roster. She can heal her allies while fighting, provide ATK-related buffs, and regenerate energy simultaneously. Huohuo has the potential to be useful to many parties with a reasonable investment.


A tier

Although not very good, the character in this tier is useful when working together with others. The Wind character that deserves to be in this tier is:

  • Sampo

Sampo is a Path of Nihility character who excels in inflicting Wind Shear debuffs on opponents to deal damage. When he possesses some Eidolons, he can easily clear the most challenging activities. Even though he is in this tier, Sampo can find himself in multiple DoT (Damage over Time) based teams.


B tier

The Wind character in this tier is a victim of power creep and has fallen out of the title's meta. This tier’s character is:

  • Dan Heng

Dan Heng is a Path of The Hunt character specializing in dealing damage to a single enemy. He deals negligible damage to the adversaries in various end-game activities such as Simulated Universe and Forgotten Halls. Dan Heng requires a hefty investment, as well as Eidolons, to complete various activities.
