Honkai Star Rail Teambuilding Guide: How To Build A Team

Honkai Star Rail is an incredibly entertaining game with tons of content for players to tackle. From the Simulated Universe to the main storyline, players will need to be prepared for whatever enemies and challenges stand in their way. However, no matter what content you plan on tackling, you will likely have to face off against some powerful enemies along the way.

Players will be able to bring four characters into each battle, and it is important that these characters complement each other's strengths and make up for each other's weaknesses. Teambuilding is a huge part of Honkai Star Rail, and players will need to understand how to build a team in order to make progress. 

That's where we come in. This article will cover everything you need to know about team building in Honkai Star Rail, including character breakdowns, tips to remember, and more.

Players will want to have a diverse team of characters, each fulfilling a unique role and with an Elemental advantage against the enemy. Let's break down the essence of team building into several different categories based on how Honkai Star Rail content is usually tackled. 

Honkai Star Rail Team Paths

Paths are similar to Classes in other RPGs. Players will want to make sure their team composition has Paths that complement one another. The most typical composition will include the following: 

  • Path of Abundance (Healer)
  • Path of Harmony (Buffer/Support)
  • Path of Hunt/Erudition/Destruction (DPS)
  • Path of Preservation (Tank)

Running a composition like this should be enough to carry you through most content in the game. However, figuring out how your characters can work with each other is part of the fun of team building. Having four Preservation Path characters who slowly chip away at the enemy and never die is a perfectly viable strategy, as is using multiple Harmony characters in order to funnel as much DMG into your primary DPS. Once you become powerful enough, you may be able to forego a healer entirely, favoring instead using a team of buffers and DPS characters to cleave the enemy in one turn.

Honkai Star Rail Elements

Every enemy in the game will have multiple Weaknesses that can be broken by bringing characters of that particular Element. Before going into battle against a powerful boss, players should ensure they have at least one or two characters capable of inflicting Weakness Break on the enemy. 

The main things to keep in mind when building a team in Honkai Star Rail are flexibility and adaptability. You need to be able to handle anything the game can throw at you, and having characters who are good in a pinch will ensure you succeed in most situations.
