Himeko 

Kicking things off, let’s start off with Himeko, who is genuinely one of the Honkai Star Rail Best DPS characters in the game. She is a five-star Fire girl who is a daring scientist that came across the Astral Express when she was a kid and managed to repair it. Himeko began her journey slowly after that and managed to go on the Trailblaze path. 

As she belongs to the Erudition path, she has insanely good multi-target damage, and she can deal excellent AoE damage to enemies. 

Traces 

Moving on, let’s take a look at some of the Traces that Himeko has, which include of Sawblade Tuning, Molten Detonation, Heavenly Flare, Victory Rush, and Incomplete Combustion: 

• Sawblade Tuning (Basic Attack): She can deal fire damage equivalent to 50% of Himeko’s Attack on one opponent. 
• Molten Detonation (Skill): She can deal fire damage which is equivalent to 100% of Himeko’s base attack to one enemy, and fire damage, which is equal to 40% of Himeko’s attack to any adjacent opponents. 
• Heavenly Flare (Ultimate): Himeko will be able to launch Fire damage equal to 132% of Himeko’s base attack to all opponents, and she regenerates 10 energy for each opponent that she defeats. 
• Victory Rush (Talent): If an opponent’s weakness is broken, she gains a stack of charge with a max of 3 stacks, and if she is fully charged, she can deal fire damage that is equal to 68% of her base attack. 
• Incomplete Combustion (Technique): After using her technique, a satellite beam is able to create a Burning Zone that lasts 15 seconds. 

Team Comps 

Moving on, here are a few team compositions that you can try out with Bronya that will further enhance her DPS abilities. 

Seele 

Next up, Seele is one of the Quantum Honkai Star Rail Best Characters. She is a 5 star character under Quantum cateogy, making her belong to the Wildfire that was born and bred in the Underworld of Belobog. She has gotten the nickname “Babochka.” Alongside that, she is extremely blunt and frank, not worrying about what others think about her. 

She belongs to The Hunt Path, which allows her to deal insane amounts of single-target damage to opponents, and she is extremely good against elite enemies. 

Traces 

As far as her traces are concerned, I tested out all of her five traces which include Sheathed Blade, Thwack, Butterfly Flurry, Resurgence, and Phantom Illusion. 

• Thwack (Basic Attack): She can deal Quantum damage which will equal 50% of her base attack to one opponent. 
• Sheathed Blade (Skill): It will end up enhancing her overall speed by 25% for a total of 2 turns, and she will deal Quantum damage that will be equal to 110% of her base attack to one enemy. 
• Butterfly Flurry (Ultimate): Seele enters the buffed mode, and she can launch out quantum damage equivalent to 255% of her base attack to one opponent. 
• Resurgence (Talent): Seele enters the buffed state again after defeating an opponent using her basic attack, skill, or even her ultimate, and she gains an extra turn. 
• Phantom Illusion (Technique): After she uses her technique, Seele will become invisible for 20 seconds and can’t be detected by opponents. 

Team Comps 

When it comes to her overall team comps, I tested her with teams that included characters like Welt, Natasha, Bronya, and even Tingyun, and the following teams can work pretty well, which automatically makes her one of the Honkai Star Rail Best DPS Characters. 

Sushang 

Next up, the next character that is 100% one of the Honkai Star Rail Best Characters is Sushang. She was born on the Xianzhou Yaoqing and was sent to the Cloud Knights of the Luofu to get further military training. She aims for a future she’s always wanted and will do whatever it takes to strive for it. 

She is a physical four-star character who belongs to the Hunt path, which automatically means she is an excellent single-target damage dealer. When I used her in Overworld, I found she works best against elite enemies. 

Traces 

When it comes to Honkai Star Rail Best DPS’s Traces, they include Couldfencer Art Starshine, Dancing Blade, Cloudfencer Art Mountainfall, Shape Of Taixu Dawn Herald, and Cloudfencer Art Warcry. 

• Cloudfencer Art Starshine (Basic Attack): Sushang can dish out physical damage equivalent to 50% of her base attack to one enemy.

• Cloudfencer Art Mountainfall (Skill): She can deal physical damage that will equate to 105% of her base attack to one enemy, and there is also a 33% chance to trigger sword stance on the final attack, which ends up dealing bonus physical damage that equates to 50% of her base attack. 
• Shape Of Taixu Dawn Herald (Ultimate): Sushang can deal Physical damage equivalent to 192% of her base attack to one opponent, and she can advance her action forward by 100%. 
• Cloudfencer Art Warcry (Technique): Sushang instantly attacks the opponent, and upon entering combat mode, she deals Physical damage equal to 80% of her base attack to all opponents. 

Team Comps 

Regarding Sushang’s Team Comps In Honkai Star Rail, three teams might work well with her, as listed below. 

Jing Yuan 

First, can I just say how excited I am for his release? Okay, anyways, Jing Yuan is one of the most Anticipated Honkai Star Rail Best DPS yet to be released. He is a five-star Lightning character who are the main General of Xianzhou Alliance Cloud Knight and one of the Six Charioteers of Xianzhou Luofu. 

Since he belongs to the Erudition Path, he can dish out extra-ordinarily good multi-target damage and is the main damage dealer against hoards of opponents. 

Team Comps 

Regarding his team compositions, he can work well with Bronya, Bailu, Tingyun, Asta, Pela, and a few other characters.
