Best Team Comps for Himeko in Honkai Star Rail

Himeko is a Fire and Erudition Character that has access to a powerful Follow-Up attack and can easily apply the Burn Effect to most enemies.

Best Team Comps for Yanqing in Honkai Star Rail

Yanqing is an Ice Element character who follows the path of The Hunt. He can be a bit squishy, so shields will be essential for this character. Here again, March 7th will be your free option to fill this role. (Seeing a pattern?) Other Ice and Supports units go well with Yanqing, like Pela. Here's an example of a Team Comp:

• March 7th, Yanqing, Pela, Tignyun / Herta

Best Team Comps for Welt in Honkai Star Rail

Welt is a Nihility Imaginary Element character that specializes in slowing enemy turns. Because of this, he synergizes well with Dan Heng, whose damage is boosted when attacking Slowed characters. Welt is the only Imaginary character in the game right now. Pairing him with other characters is a bit tricky at the moment because of this. He does work well with other Nihility characters in the Simulated Universe. Here's an example of a Team Comp:

• Natasha, Welt, Dan Heng, Pela

Best Team Comps for Bailu in Honkai Star Rail

Bailu is a pretty universal character in a lot of team comps, as she largely replaces Natasha. She pairs especially well with other Lightening characters such as Serval. Be wary of using her with Arlan, as he does better with shielders than healers. Here's an example of a Team Comp:

• Serval, Bailu, Tingyun, Sushang

Best Team Comps for Gepard in Honkai Star Rail

Gepard replaces March 7th as a shielder, but oddly enough she does very well as a Sub-DPS unit paired with Gepard if built to prioritize her Follow-up attacks and Ultimate. Otherwise, he can again be a universal sustaining unit like Bailu, if necessary. Here's an example of a Team Comp:

• Gepard, Herta, Pela, March 7th

Best Team Comps for Bronya in Honkai Star Rail

Bronya doesn't have very definitive Team Comps because she is such a powerful universal boost to any an all DPS characters. Slot her in any team to make them hit harder and quicker. She is a Wind Element character, so pairing her with Dan Heng will go especially well. Here's just one example of a Team Comp she can slot into:

• Dan Heng, Bronya, Natasha, Sushang
