Honkai Star Rail’s new buffs mean our old friends are back in the top tier
It’s always a good day when a Hoyo game updates, but the new Honkai Star Rail buffs for older characters are proving to be better than we thought. Take a look at any tier list, and you’ll see our old friends have shot back up in the rankings. The relevant subreddits for each character are filling with showcases of their new, much higher damage numbers, too.
In fact, here’s our Honkai Star Rail tier list for you to see exactly how we rate Honkai Star Rail’s Blade, Jingliu, Kafka, and Silver Wolf now that they’ve received changes. The featured characters all get a new trial under the ‘Novaburst’ tab in the events menu, where you can see what’s changed and test them all out. This gives you some stellar jades for your trouble, too.
Blade’s damage now calculates based on his maximum HP, and he has a higher chance of attracting aggro from enemies. You can see a full breakdown of numbers in this Reddit post. Similarly, Jingliu’s damage also comes from her maximum HP, and her crit rate goes up when teammates take damage.
