THE BEST F2P AND P2W TEAMS FOR EVERY 5-STAR DPS | Honkai: Star Rail

[@mooseoncaffeine]

I did not miss Himeko and Topaz btw, they're just more sub DPSs (Himeko > Jade, Topaz > Feixiao) instead of DPSs, mostly.

You’ve quickly become one of my favorite HSR creators 🥳

[@mooseoncaffeine]

That's amazing to hear, thank you!

[@乃乇卂爪_0]

I absolutely Agree! 🎉

[@naturwissenschaften-f2u]

the dedication to go through every 5 star dps and record gameplay for every single one lmao

[@mooseoncaffeine]

Took 3+ hours but it was well worth it 🫡

[@John_II]

Very informative. With Imbibitor Lunae, Acheron and Aventurine coming in the next banners I wanted to know which teams would be possible for me. I'm new, so I have almost no 5*s right now (Himeko, MC, Sparkle, Bronya and Lingsha). But in this video I saw lots of 4*s that I already had and it gave me ideas; Gunaifen, Herta, Pela, and so on, appear on many teams, and I'm now brimming with possibilities.

[@mooseoncaffeine]

@@John_II glad I helped out! Good luck 🫡

[@GyozaStarRail]

Nice video! Honestly I think content like this is helpful for new players and even experienced players just wanting to hear other opinions and such. Hope this vid blows up!

[@popsikern5848]

Boothill main here, Just want to mention that Boothill's generally agreed upon current best team would actually be Boothill Bronya Ruan Mei Gallagher!

[@mooseoncaffeine]

I see, thanks for sharing! 🫡 Yeah I've always seen Boothill mains talk about this team specifically, so I wanted to give it a mention.

[@The_CodFish69]

Actually with JQ release at E2 Robin is better then sparkle and I’ve found out that personally Robin is still better then Pela at E0S1 Acheron because the extra turn with JQ usually lets be getting an extra ult off.

[@mooseoncaffeine]

Ooh that's interesting, never thought of that. Thanks for sharing! Robin is just that good, huh..

[@The_CodFish69]

@@mooseoncaffeine ya Speakle was the best because of the AF on Acheron getting stacks but now with JQ, Robin is now getting more stacks and in the super sweaty teams you could run the Acheron, JQ, Robin and Sparkle team.

[@JigmeSherabWangchukJigmeSherab]

Haha talking about pulling jiaoqiu after he passed is like rubbing the salt in on those that didn’t pull or lost the 50 t0

[@mooseoncaffeine]

@JigmeSherabWangchukJigmeSherab No, this video is about the best performing team. I always said Jiaoqiu was Acherons best in slot, just not a big enough of an upgrade over the next best team to justify 90+ pulls for F2Ps. I always explained exactly that if you want to minmax your acheron you should 100% get him and this video is about all the minmaxed teams. Hope that helps.

[@JigmeSherabWangchukJigmeSherab]

​@@mooseoncaffeine I understand I just find it funny lol I hope I didn't offend u I just found it funny that I keep seeing ppl talk about jiaqiou after his banner passed

[@JigmeSherabWangchukJigmeSherab]

​​@@mooseoncaffeinealso could u pls review my hsr account?

[@mooseoncaffeine]

@JigmeSherabWangchukJigmeSherab No I'm not offended dw, but yeah people will keep talking about him being "the best" even though he's the best by such a small margin. Praying for the next 5 star nihility to be truly op

Nice vid for those who need it ig

I used your Jing Yuan as a support for the 5 second gameplay btw

[@SentisYATTA]

@@mooseoncaffeineoh alr thanks

[@8lolbit59]

Another banger as always. Who do you think is best chicken boy or snapy neck girl cause i might go for s1 on one of them if i don't go for both

[@mooseoncaffeine]

superbreak > snappy neck girl summons probably > chicken wing boy

[@Secret123890]

E0S1 Acheron 0 cycle MoC 12 with Robin in the team, just saying... even Acheron not getting that 160% multiplier, Robin outperforms Pela or Sparkle. You can try it by yourself lol.

[@mooseoncaffeine]

yep, I was made aware of that. I don't have Robin to try it, I just completely forgot about her when it comes to Acheron team comps.

[@Secret123890]

@@mooseoncaffeine that's fair!

[@turi5959]

I'm sorry but those teams for Blade are just wrong... Blade/Jade can be amazing in PF, but unless your Jade is E1 or Blade is E6, it'll feel like shit in any other content. His best 5 star teammate by far is Bronya (Or Sparkle if we're only counting limited 5 stars). His best 4 star teammate is also Pela, not Tingyun. Tingyun's attack buff is negligible on Blade, and her energy regen isn't that useful on him since his damage profile and playstyle isn't enabled by his ult like some other characters. Pela's DEF shred boosts his damage far more than what Tingyun could do. As for Robin, yeah she's busted. She's actually pretty equal to Ruan Mei in Blade teams since her massive attack buff is sort of wasted on Blade, but it's made up by her good damage output. Either work. And showing Aventurine in the sustain slot is really misleading. I know you said "sustain" can refer to any Abundance/Preservation but Blade in particular absolutely wants healers over shielders, as shields prevent him from taking damage and in turn stop him from proccing his followups. Sorry for being ranty, I know Blade isn't a great unit at the moment but that doesn't mean you should neglect putting in the base level of research and care if you intended to spotlight him in your video.

[@mooseoncaffeine]

@turi5959 I completely see your point, and I completely agree, but the reason I put him with Jade is because the way he can he most effective in anybody's account is indeed as a Pure Fiction unit with Jade. He's just garbage in every other mode. I know this isn't a video comparing any unit at all but I still felt that the only way someone can feel like their Blade is truly doing something and not being a waste of 90 pulls is by bring a Pure Fiction unit with Jade. And yeah I completely forgot about Aventurines shields not letting him get stacks, that's my bad I should've specified.

[@turi5959]

​@@mooseoncaffeine In that case you should have at least put a disclaimer of some kind, because every other team you showcased in the video were teams that maximised the main DPS's damage, including the couple other dual DPS teams you had, except for Blade. Even then I'd have to disagree. Blade's PF performance is mainly enabled by Jade. He's not meant to be a PF unit the way Argenti and other erudition units are. And at that point it stops being "Blade's best team" but rather just "One of Jade's teams" yknow? Same way you don't call a Feixiao/Topaz or Kafka/Black Swan team "Topaz/Black Swan's best team" because they're enabled by the main DPS. His best performing team to this day is still a hypercarry one, and yes while he does lack in damage compared to later DPS's, please trust me when I say it's still enough to clear current endgame content.

[@mooseoncaffeine]

@turi5959 yeah, I totally get where you're coming from. I've also always said you can clear the game with literally anyone. People are literally 0-cycling with Arlan. It's never serious, I just enjoy making guides, even though I myself don't play by the meta.

[@turi5959]

@@mooseoncaffeine All good man, I know we're not supposed to take the video as gospel, and there's always some risk of miscommunication and misunderstanding when discussing meta, especially when tackling a something as vague and subjective as "best". Just as someone who's mained Blade since day 1, I'm very passionate about that depressed man 😆

[@silvito9867]

6:25 Jingliu + Tingyun?? As in the anti-synergistic combo?

[@mooseoncaffeine]

No, as in the character that needs ultimates to get more turns with her enhanced mode and the character that can give energy and damage to that first character.

[@silvito9867]

@@mooseoncaffeine but she insta loses her skill buff lol, u have to re cast constantly

[@silvito9867]

@@mooseoncaffeine + she's not characterized for needing to cast ult constantly, giving her a good buff for nuking would help much more and bc of her self buffs and deminishing returns TY's buffs are not the best on her

[@mooseoncaffeine]

@silvito9867 for those with limited resources (the whole point of half the video) tingyun is the best. She gives the biggest buff out of all the 4 star units and of course the energy. Yukong gives a bigger buff only if you need the Cr/Cdmg, not to mention shes much harder to use. Tingyun gives a 56% DMG% boost and is as easy as point and click. Now of COURSE Robin and Sparkle and Ruan Mei are better, which I did mention for the P2W/Lucky F2P part of the list. Who better than Tingyun and Bronya for F2P players? Pela is of course really good but she doesn't give Energy.

[@silvito9867]

@@mooseoncaffeine u do u man but I prefer to run my Jingliu with Hanya/pela. I really think energy shouldn't be your biggest concern with her

[@elysiumrimestar]

How about FuXuan instead of aventurine?

[@mooseoncaffeine]

They're very exchangeable except in FUA teams, where Aventurine is better than Lingsha who is better than Fu Xuan. Aventurine is also better against higher damage enemies.

[@Ghosty2098]

Is sparkle okay for e0 acheron

[@mooseoncaffeine]

@Ghosty2098 yep as long as Sparkle's build is good enough. I'd say around 250+ Crit DMG, but I have no stats, just a theory.
