The trailblazer is the most important, can't start the game without them.

Honorable mention is Tingyun, for taking every hit from the enemy, keeping your DPS alive, occasionally giving them a buff if she survives.

I always play Silver Wolf with Dr. Ratio currently my favorite combo with topaz and Huohuo. Its literally the ultimate boss killer team its crazy

5:22 Fun fact Silver Wolf is Base off of Haxxor Bunny in HI3 which is battle suit for Bronya

Fuxuan is literally the game-changing unit for me, glad i skipped dan heng for this girl. She literally does almost everything. tanking, crowd control res, hp buff to the team (which can be somewhat good for blade an future potential hp scaling dps and supports), crit rate buff and with e1 more crit dmg + her LC more dmg buff, moderate healing and a bit of dmg from her ult which can help break enemies with quantum weakness.. She offers a ton of comfy gameplay. She allows herself as a preservation unit to be paired with units that don't like shields like blade and arlan. She is a unique preservation unit because preservation units mainly emphasize on shield while she doesn't. She is the reason i can squeeze through swarm disaster easily and she became my priority unit to challenge the new SU, gold and gears. Before i got her i was having a lot of trouble in swarm disaster. I will never take her off from the teams in the future since her crit rate buff is so useful.

6:57 Dont forget that you can choose her once you hit 300 standard wishes.

My favorite unit is Vars of the path of Yone

Completely agree with the list. Though an odd one I'd add as an honorable mention is Blade purely for his team versatility He's basically self sufficient and perfect to slot into any team if you want a sub dps. You can use him whenever you need wind break or just someone that can do full enemy side damage without needing pretty much any skill points. He also mostly scales off of HP so he's pretty tanky resulting in not needing as much babysitting from the sustain.

I love hou hou , started the game on her banner , got her and now she is in argenti hanya tingyun and houhou team , have cleared most endgame content with this team , that argenti does like 2 mil per ult to bosses

4:19 It sounds like this script was written before Ratio was released, but he is in fact this hypercarry unit who is insane with Silver Wolf specifically.

Such a clean and informational video! Thank you for all your effort in this! I appreciate proper information!

I feel like all future 5★ harmony units will be absolutely insane, especially considering even the 4★ harmony units are already crazy good

Nice video! its nice to know which ones to aim for. Also the FFBE soundtrack brings back memories!

I do prefer Luocha over any of the other heals. Sadly I lost my 50/50 on his banner to Bailu (ironic its another abundance). I would also say that Pela is a crazy good support especially if you have E0 Ruan Mei since Def shred and removing enemy buffs is such a big thing and can be really useful

My biggest regret in this game is not pulling HH not only is she very cute and funny😭 but she has so much value. Kafka's CC destroys me in MOC. Having a character that has that god level cleanse is absolutely necessary. The best part about her is that 20% teamwide energy regen which is pure madness and as a Jingliu main sounds perfect for me.

I really like the combo Imbibitor Lunae + Silverwolf + Ruan Mei, combined with some blessings in the su you can keep even the strongest bosses broken permanently

I lost my first limited-banner 50/50 chasing Silver Wolf to... Bronya. Yeah, the irony. So, through the months, I've not been flush enough to go for Luocha, but have picked up the others (sometimes _barely,_ like Huohuo). It is very nice that Tingyun is available in the -Starglitter- shop, so Foxian Bennett can be built up despite unfortunate warps.

Why Everyone/No One Plays: Yanqing

As someone who loves Loucha, I'm happy to see him mentioned. He does good damage and his heals are life saving

You should do guides too please. I love how you explain things in such a simple manner please ❤

9:12 i agree with you and id die on that hill

Just got E2 Clara today, and I'm very excited!

I like how well spoken you are, instant sub

i feel like two of these characters importance changed for me massively throughout general account progression first silver wolf being absolutely almost irraplacable for my first 6 months as i didn't have many options for breaking and fights were more single target then ruan mei who has been amazing for me but i think it's mainly being able to patch together from my larger roster and enable two dps (which i wouldn't of been able to early on)

my tingyun is spread so thin between 2 teams and another upcoming team...the 50 energy makes such a huge difference

Hopefully you'd make a video of your thoughts and maybe favorites on the non-support characters and the DPS with a bonus characters. Not really a "best" list but rather something like what traits of what characters you want to mention are nice, like Welt being able to go for a DPS foregoing EHR or be a support foregoing crit stats, among others.

I started playing about 3 weeks ago because I saw a video of Dan Heng IL and fell in love for him. Sadly I lost him to Yanqing on an Early pity. I think I can get him before his banner ends, and after that I will save jades to pull for good supports like Ruan Mei, so this video was very helpful on which units to build and which ones skip or pull.

I've just been improvising in selecting my 5 star banner. Never knew these were one the most important characters than can make a big flexible difference. Most of the time these characters were my second choice or a fluke because i hadn't enough currency to pull my 1st desired character. Guess i have been lucky

I saved my Jades since I pulled Seele at patch 1.1 just for Fu Xuan. The reason is I fell in love with her design since I first saw her. (Yes, she is the hottest character in HSR and I will die on this hill.) Ever since then, my HSR journey has been very smooth. Not to mention that I also have Huohuo. Although yes, I don't play endgame as much. But nonetheless, pulling Lady Fu and Huohuo have been worth the Jades and patience it requires for me to collect it and reject the temptation on other banners.

The grand summoner music theme got me thinking where i heard the music from

Oh look all 5 of those characters I don't have! At least I got the HMs though...

Vars always delivers !

Love the FFBE background ost

6:29 nitpicking but you can extend the belebog march buff by activating it after blade enhances

Kafka should’ve been an honorable mention atleast just cause even if they make a second unit that can do the same thing she does, so long as they’re not also the same element, you can just field them both and have them setting off DOTs nonstop.

Have to yet build and lvl my Ruan Mommy but I love her design to death. still have to figure out how to properly play her tho hehe

I think Jingliu has a decent argument for being future proof, maybe not as much as some supports, but considering that she doesn't consume skill points like crazy like DHIL does and that she works great with Ruan Mei who buffs the entire team so even if Jingliu herself gets powercreeped, she'd still be best in slot for second dps in a dual dps team, aka she has a "second chance" in regards to being powercreeped. Also I think it's obvious especially if you've seen leaks but Kafka will just get stronger and stronger, she ain't falling off anytime soon.

You forgot Kafka. She will always be great. Regardless if you're a beginner or an End-game player. Her teams will also not go down in value since She can only be Upgraded by the newer units that will come out in the future.

Silverwolf is voiced by the same VA that voiced Dendi in okko, i recognized the voice like immediately when ai hear in in the game. Also silver wolf's HI3rd varient is Bronie who is like an alternate version of bronya, with the same abilities as silver wolf.

9:09 - no, that's Jingliu, come and get me! i'm so glad i have almost all the characters from this list except Luocha... totally agree with HuoHuo > Luocha - can't even count how many times her "cleanse everything!" has saved me! Lynx does have the emergency button feature, but HH is just another level... i'm really curious - how will Sparkle compare to Bronya? i kind of have a feeling they will be on-par (so far HSR is doing a great work balancing the new characters), but will she need mono quantum to truly shine? or it will be just an added bonus?... i wouldn't mind that at all - i love using mono quantum, even more since Xueyi came out - but i feel like that would be a bad decision on hoyo's part?... thanks for the video - great list, great editing, pleasure to watch!

I wish they took HuoHuo's kit and put it on literally anyone else. Maybe then I'd get to use it ;_;

What’s the soundtrack at around 1:00 onwards? It’s soooo familiar but I can’t rmb someone please help 🥲🙏🏻

Who do you play first in the game? Kafka. Who lets the Trailblazer be the MC of the game? Kafka. Who has a history with the MC? Kafka. Who barks for Kafka? Me. Which character has the most fans of? Kafka. Kafka is like an MC that is playing on NG+ Basically, Just Kafka.

Is that FFBE music on the background?? man that takes me waay back to my first gacha, played that for 2 years... was pretty fun game for a mobile, unfortunately prohibitibly expensive with no guarantee for banner unit (maybe that changed later but not while I played)

Can bro pls say the names of the music he is using. I want to know this cool ass music playing at the beginning is

I have never agreed with a list so much ever until now. Good job.

What is the song used in the background of the video? Sounds familiar but I can't put my finger on it

Wonderful. After playing the game since it came out I have literally no one on the actual list. No wonder I struggle so much with this game

Proud Huo Huo Haver

Most important is Dr. Ratio for what he's been doing to Genshin's playerbase.

always glad i have luocha and ruan mei … wish i had silver wolf. ill get bronya soon.

would include kafka and topaz. yes they are dds but they scale extreme well with future dds that suport their playstyle

At 2:30, isn't Bestowal From the Pure Loucha's E2?

Fuxuan or luocha is better for my beginners acc? Currently im running Dot teams with kafka/black swan & in need of sustainer

every team needs at least on support and abundance unit, the rest could be hunt, destruction, erudition ect. The best option would be a nihility oe erudition such as kafka for her insane dot and a unit that benefits from debuffs on enemy's or buffs on your self. And if you are building a kafka team bronya, with black swan and kafka would go crazy with both black swan and bronya buffing kafka as well as a fourth unit to act as sustain and also free skill points.

The FFBE music in the background is the first thing I noticed. 😂

9:10 totally agree with u!!🤝🏼

should i try and pull for Fu Xuan, or Huohuo/Luocha or wait for Ruan Mei? i have Imbibitor dan heng and Jing Yuan but ive realised the only good supports i have are Bronya and Tingyun, im using Fire trailblazer for my tank and Bailu for healer X-X

The background song used... So familiar? Brave frontier? If any1 knows which ost i would love the name thanks.

I think Kafka and Topaz could have been in the honorable mentions because they are not simple dps characters, they are the enablers of two types of teams, dot teams and follow up teams cant perform at a high level without them.

Learning from Genshin, I decided to just pull for supports. So since luocha's banner, i have every single one of these healing or sharing damage beasts. But yeah, at what cost? I've lost 50/50 on Ruan Mei and Topaz, so I lack buffer support and DPS (except that I have every 4* Harmony at e6 except maybe Tingyun and some new characters). Also, my E3 Bronya kept my Seele team alive till now. I do have many supports but my DPS right now are just Seele and Ratio. Yes, when the Destruction meta was so popular a few months ago (with DHIL, Blade and Jingliu), I was just using my e6 Qingque. It was difficult but at least my teams are as hard as rock lmao.

As a scaredy-cat, I put a lot of Value in Luocha's ability to directly heal a chosen party member. As cool as it is to have regen, it just feels safer to have a Heal "Button" for when something goes wrong ^^' Lovley to have this informative list! Thank you.

I love how every character has a role in this game!

I benched SW for about 3 patches just because I don't need the weakness apply. Now She's glued to Dr. Ratio and I play them a lot.

What game is the video's background music from?

I got Huohuo without much thought (when she came out I had started rhe game relatively decent and didn't understand how things worked that well) and only pulled her because she looked a little spooky and I like that. Probably the best thoughtless decision I've ever made. Bailu you are fantastic and carried me through early game but Huohuo's cleansing is a godsend. Mine is also the character I have with most HP. She is not easy to kill. Also because her skill isn't random I always know where my healing goes... And of course, her ultimate is great, but as a healer she is so good. Silver Wolf basically neans you can enter any fight with no worries so I'm also super glad I got her. Ruan Mei too but everyone already knows that..using her in Simulated Universe is just expected. I wish I could get Fu Xuan. She's the only on this list I don't currently possess except Bronya but Bronya I'll get eventually because she's standard.

one team I use in sim universe is Jingliu Silver wolf Ruan Mei and huohuo Ruan mei can completely one shot MOST of the encounters in the run saving time which means you can get blessings faster and Silver wolf can do massive def down and drop ice weak For Farming I use Jingliu Tingyun Ruan mei huohuo Tingyun and huohuo can make jingliu stay in her enhanced state which at 50-52% crit rate is 100% crit rate in enchanced. Which is very good

Glad that i somehow always find myself liking the support-ish characters more, not just gameplay but design and personality

10:00 wanna talk about that miss win Dan

Really wasn't expecting FFBE music on a HSR video

the "period" its giving to me dabois 😭❤️❤️❤️❤️

Your videos butter My biscuits thank you

Guys, can you please help me? Im having some issues with my jingliu team. Basically when i add ruan mei, my rotation (jingliu and bronya) gets totally fucked up. Can you please help me?

Where is Arlan??

Seele, Bronya and Silver Wolf in one team realy realy powerful. Especially if you have E4 Bronya, because if SW add a wind weakness instead of quantum (rarely but happen) Bronya will have a followup attack so it's not fully wasted. This team with a Trailblazer or any of the mentioned heal and tank units and you are almost unstoppable. But Lynx as a Q heal also good option here.

I have E6 Tingyun, Ruan Mei, Bronya and SW. Really like Fu Xuan Luocha so I’m saving for the both of them - tried to pull Huohuo, even painted her a portrait as a ritual and hung her up above my bed right before her banner… Bronya E1 screwed me over Can guarantee - This list is very accurate. Supports are the most important. My only 5* dps is Ratio and Jing Yuan and I’m doing well in this game. Only trailblaze lvl 52 since i used to be casual, but I’m working my way up

I have been pulling for supports and i only have Seele as my main dps to this day even though i know that i should get or build another dps for my second team i just can’t help but pull for supports cuz i know they are more future proof than dps In fact when i got ruan mei i actually got to floor 7 in MoC full stars with my shitty built Dan Heng when i couldn’t even pass the first floor cuz my other team is suffering

God I forgot brave exvius ost slaps...

I feel like blade should've been somehwere in this list, he's probably the most accruate depiction based on his path and how he functions as a character unlike dhil/jl

i wanted ruan mei so bad but i lost to e1 yanqing,,,, hopefully when she has a rerun i can get her

Do you think I should pull for sparkle or wait for ren may rerun?

I chose not pulling for Huo Huo and not gonna lie I really don't regret doing so that much. Granted she's super OP but I'm already very happy with Luocha already. He deals relatively good damage when given the right stats and the safe feeling whenever his field is on is just so good.

I wanted Ruan Mei so bad but unfortunately lost to Welt, who I now have at e3. At least I got Fu Xuan e1 in a single 10 pull

Im in ned of a hyper carry. My account is follow up chars, Jing Yuan, Blade, Clara e2, Topaz and Dr ratio are my dps(s). I have great supports thus leaves a carry. Hate i didnt get the ice chick but i needed topaz as you can see. I have all but houhou in the support bracket. Best of luck everyone. Fantastic game with a great dev team.

Im playing my Kafka with Huohuo and Ruan Mei, and man it was fun. Im thinking of placing Tingyun in the team for a hypercarry Kafka but Tingyun being Tingyun, i would definitely lose her after the enemies takes turn 1 😂

I have 4 of the 5 of them, and I gotta say oh gods I'd trade them all for Fu Xuan hahaha. Her sustain is just so absurd, I must have funneled a hundred million credits to the support Fu Xuan I use when farming xD What's worse is I know she's gonna rerun during the Swan/Hanabi/Acheron chunk and I'm gonna miss out on her again xD

I just opened the timelapse thing and i see brona and ren may 😭

Lynx can cleanse all party members with her burst so you can kinda say she doesn't need her turn either

You don’t lose 50/50 to bronya, you win 50/50 to bronya

HuoHuo is way too versatile for a healer and in E2 she can auto-revive characters twice per battle if having provision passive ongoing. >_< I am happy she got included in your top 5 ^=^

Is ruan mei the kazuha of hsr?

Exquisite damage

I never cared about the meta but I'm very happy to learn that most of my fav characters that i l pulled and built actually happen to be so good:))

Kinda interesting to see that at least three of them- Fu Xuan, Ruan Mei, and Huohuo have some sort of 'secondary class' into their kit. That said, I am looking forward to Fu Xuan's eventual rerun. I ran out of Stellar Jades during her debut banner, and the only Preservation unit that I have levelled up is the Fire Trailblazer. If she's not outclassed by someone else by then, I am more than willing to get her~! I'm already farming the Preservation Trace materials lol.

Nice to know that the only one I got from the list is the 4-star. No wonder I'm stuck on the story quest, I didn't pull the right characters.

My only thing with the Huohuo vs Luocha is, she takes a lot more SP to be inserted into a team while Luocha takes 0, and also her not really having an emergency heal, I find that she's good when you can use her, but she isn't easily slapped into teams unless you consider her SP needs. if not then her Ult takes way to long to use, I have both and I feel like they are on par with each other, unless you just straight up ignore Huohuo's cons. Personally though I end up using Luocha and Fu xuan way more than I use my huohuo, just based off the fact that she isn't usually worth picking another character over her, unless it makes sense in the rotation.

I believe Pela is better than Silver Wolf in other teams that are not Ruan Mei Quantum, cause most teams would love Pela's AOE - Def% and not many teams want that Single target - Def%, also Pela can do a first turn Ult even without SW lightcone, also you can build Pela as a DPS and still work as a debuffer xD with Pearls or GNSW Luocha got powercreeped way too fast, I use to regret not pulling but now Hue hue is far better

Waw ffbe battle theme... so nostalgic😢😢😢

"You should focus on getting all the best supports in star rail!" I have a deficit of supports that work with the dps characters I built...and I also just got Kafka. Trust me I already know I need more supports ;w;

I have Huohuo Ruan mei Bronya Silverwolf But missing fu because i wasn’t playing the game then, took a massive break
