Best AoE DPS in Honkai: Star Rail

Assessing a character's ability to deal single target or AoE damage Honkai: Star Rail makes all the difference when deciding who to use in which game modes. For example, content like “Memory of Chaos” allows you to hunt units HSR like Boothill and Feixiao to really shine, but Pure Fiction demands characters who hit multiple enemies at once.

Unlike Hunt's single-target specialty, Erudition characters are included HSR are among the best when it comes to dealing AoE damage. However, units from other paths can also be good at this. In summary, here are the best AoE DPS in Honkai: Star Rail.

Herta (4 stars)

The Kuru-Kuru Queen is easily one of the best DPS around Honkai: Star Rail. She is likely the first Erudtion figure that players will receive in the game, as she is given away for free when Trailblazers complete some stages of the simulated universe.

The Emanator of Scholarship strikes in an AoE with her skill, her ultimate ability, and her follow-up attack (FUA). She's not the best in terms of damage, but her follow-up and multi-hit system can work well in content that specifically asks for these abilities.

Himeko

Another OG Erudition character in Honkai: Star Rail is Himeko. Like Herta, Himeko hits all enemies with her ability, ultimate, and follow-up attacks. But unlike Herta, Himeko has better damage and her FUA can be triggered more often.

Players can even play Himeko in other playstyles, such as making her a Super Break DPS with the Harmony MC. All in all, this default banner character is in HSR has stood the test of time, although many more powerful DPS have been released over the versions.

7

Yunli

Yunli is Clara's offensive sister. Her gameplay revolves around her counter ability, which triggers when she is hit. Her counter strike hits a primary target and up to two adjacent targets, meaning she typically has an area of ​​effect of three targets for each counter strike.

Yunli's high damage and good AoE make her one of the best characters to use in all cases. Yunli works well in all three endgame content, namely Memory of Chaos, Pure Fiction, and Apocalyptic Shadows Honkai: Star Rail.

Imbibitor Lunae

Dan Heng IL may be a destructive character, but unlike units like Clara, Yunli or Firefly, he has no survivability. He's not a scholarly character either, but his AoE is still one of the best there is.

Imbibitor Lunae's enhanced basic attack and ultimate ability each hit three targets at once, and it has one of the highest DPS in the game. At first he struggles with his SP needs, but as more support becomes available, his SP needs become easier to meet.

5

Argenti

Argenti is arguably one of the best Erudition characters ever HSR. He really shows what someone who specializes in AoE hits should look like. He has a maximum energy of 180, but he can cast his ultimate when he has 90 energy and 180 energy. At 90 Energy, Argenti's Ultimate deals far less damage but still hits all enemies, making it a great move to quickly destroy small enemies.

The Knight of Beauty's constant AoE hits are great for activating Jade's Debt Collector status.

4

Fireflies

Although her specialty is Break Effect Honkai: Star RailFirefly excels at dealing AoE damage, as her attacks always hit up to three enemies in burn mode. Her mechanics also apply Fire Weakness to her target, making it easy to trigger Weakness Break.

Although SAM is a destructive character and isn't as good at AoE as Rappa, her damage is enough to destroy a horde of enemies. Just make sure you bring key supporters like Harmony MC, Ruan Mei and Lingsha or Gallagher.

Rappa

The Dazzling Ninja is part of the Break Effect DPS list in Honkai: Star Rail. Although in lore she follows the path of hunting, in play fighting she has the path of learning. Therefore, it's no surprise that Rappa deals incredible AoE damage.

While Imaginary isn't the best attribute for Break DMG, Rappa's ability to reduce toughness regardless of the opponent's weakness, and the fact that she can do this on all enemies, means her damage builds up very quickly accumulates. As with Firefly, players will need to have the right support for Rappa, as she doesn't do well on her own.

2

jade

When it comes to AoE damage, Jade is undoubtedly one of the best. Jade makes a follow-up attack Honkai: Star Rail If she collects enough stacks, she deals great damage, which increases the longer the fight lasts and the more enemies she hits. This makes them an excellent unit for the Pure Fiction game mode.

In order for Jade to meet the FUA requirements, she must be paired with another unit that hits in an AoE. One of Jade's best teammates Honkai: Star Rail is Argenti, who can continue to hit all enemies with his two-tier ultimate system.

1

Acheron

Nihility characters are usually the top debuffers, but not Acheron. Instead, Acheron requires her teammates to place debuffs so she can unleash insanely powerful hits with her ultimate.

The Emanator of Nihility's ultimate effect has an area of ​​effect that not only has a long range, but also deals insane damage. Since she doesn't rely on Energy to perform this move, players can aim for as much Ultimate as possible by investing in things like Acheron E2, her Cone of Light, Jiaoqiu Support, and move advancers like Sparkle.
