Tier List Criteria

After spending a lot of time playing the game ourselves, we have created the ultimate tier list. We examined heroes in the optimal environment to achieve the best grade possible. Every tier list is disputed and ours is no different.

The Honkai Impact Tier List’s main goal is to showcase the best characters in the game depending on how powerful and skilled they are in comparison to other characters. This covers things like damage output, health reserves, and general combat utility. However, you should be aware that the meta and level of each hero might vary with each update.

To determine which heroes are most beneficial for you, the situation you’re in, and your level of advancement, you should try each one on your own. Observe the strategies that other players are implementing as well. In the comments box below, let us know which characters do you favor?
