Support characters are essential in Honkai: Star Rail, a turn-based strategy game. As the game progresses, the difficulty level increases, making it challenging to win without support characters. The best support characters for a player depend on the team composition and the characters they have access to. However, each character has its unique strengths, even if they are not the best supporters.
The support classes in Honkai: Star Rail are Preservation, Harmony, Abundance, and Nihility. Unlike most RPGs, the characters in this game are more specific based on what they can do rather than their weapons. For example, Asta and Pela both have staff-like weapons, making them look like mage-class characters. However, they both have different abilities. When selecting support characters, players should consider factors such as their free-to-play status, elemental advantages, and ability to turn the tide of a battle quickly.
March 7th is a 4-Star rarity Preservation character and one of the sidekicks to the Trailblazer’s main storyline. She is an underestimated support character who can give allies shields while dealing follow-up damage. She is crucial in the early game, where the player has no Abundance Path healer like Natasha. Additionally, her attacks are of the Ice Element, giving her a chance to deal the Freeze effect to enemies, especially with her follow-up attacks.
Asta is a free-to-play character of the Harmony Path in Honkai: Star Rail. She is a Fire Elemental character that can be seen on teams with the same element due to a buff giving Attack to those with Fire Damage. This makes the best Asta character builds in Honkai: Star Rail very specific, as her team compositions can commonly be found with Himeko, Hook, or Preservation Path Trailblazer. However, having her on a team regardless can be very useful because of her Ultimate giving Speed to allies. This can be very game-changing during a battle where slower characters like Preservation Path Trailblazer or Gepard can attack sooner with just a buff.
Gepard is a 5-Star Ice Elemental Preservation Path character obtained through the Standard Warp Banner. His HP and Defense stats are very high, with his Speed and Attack at decent numbers. Gepard’s Skill set emphasizes his ability to make Shields that absorb damage every turn. He is also useful against enemies weak to the Ice Element as he can Freeze them at a base 65% Effect Hit Rate. Unfortunately, with very little free-to-play access, two other easily obtainable Preservation Path characters can also do his job if the player doesn’t have Gepard. Furthermore, the downside to Ice Elemental-type damage are the many resistances that come with it.
