Which FREE 5* Character to Pick in Honkai Star Rail (2.7 Express Gift)

[@megidolaon384]

Only 3 choices imo--Himeko, Bronya and Clara. If you don't have any, they're great to have. Their E1's are very good with Bronya's being the most impactful and making her less SP negative, Clara making her mark of counter not disappear so her skill is always has the 2x potency, and Himeko give 20% SPD (equal to about 5-6 Speed rolls) everytime she procs Victory Rush, her FuA.

[@CCl3everyday]

Can it stack? Like if she FuA twice, then 40% spd increase?

[@krabling]

​@@CCl3everyday​I haven't checked during combat, but I don't believe it does. The eidolon doesn't mention stacks, only duration.

[@CCl3everyday]

@@krabling i see. Yeah, it would be too cracked in waves if it stacked

[@Rafael57YT]

​@@CCl3everydayit doesn't

[@Benjamin.90]

I wanna emphasize though, ONLY if you like Bronya she is the most impactful!! She was and has been so hyped since the very beginning, because she was (and still is) really strong. BUT, the moment I finally got her E1 (and S1 in the meantime) I realized: I just don't like her. The speed tuning, which you have to adjust every character according to her, the fact that she still is a little RNG if you use her with DHIL for example, the way her ult buff and skill buff duration is less forgiving than most newer supports... i would just say: go with the character you like most. other than Himeko, I wouldn't say any one of them is really super relevant anymore, not even for newer players. just pull the newest / current DPS/Support, and they're probably better.

[@sense6472]

Ironic how Himeko was perceived one of the worst 5* standard and now she stands above them all and is competetive with current meta.

[@Takkunda]

Turns out you just need to make an mode where the entire point is to kill weak mobs over and over again, instead of killing just one to three chunky things.

[@wongo6828]

When you start off as weak, you can only go up from there. Himeko just gets stronger with time. Especially with Fugue and The Herta on the way to make her even stronger.

[@kingsfordkyeremeh-frimpong5150]

Back then, it was not a perception; it was a fact. Everything changed when they defined the team archetypes properly, superbreak and follow-up

[@XieRH1988]

I'd argue that the game needing to invent an entire mode for her proves how weak she was And it's not just a himeko issue, the whole Erudition path would be nothing today if not for the existence of PF

[@mattheusspoo]

​@@XieRH1988 thats not entirely true, tho. Himeko nowdays stays in a respectable position even on other modes. Her follow up attack based off break synergizes too well with break teams and she has the beloved fire element every break unit seems to have (firefly, lingsha, fugue).

[@harpot678]

​@@laurennieee Get sparkle if you really need advance

[@hisdudeness690]

As a Clara main (E5), E1 is important to her. at max skill level, she does 120% AOE damage + 120% more for the enemies with the mark, so it incentivizes to use the skill. It is a very good eidolon, but you should only go for it if you want to play her.

[@Ld17_]

Hey! With the right buff, my Clara (E0, Yunli Lc S1) is able to hit 120k or maybe more outside of SU. Is it great? 😅

[@trendmadegamer8725]

I mean. You don't need to go out of your way to get. It will come to you willingly lol

[@tivaen]

I agree. Clara isn't properly rated here, especially her E1. It's a relatively big power spike, and it's probably the best early damage/offensive eidolon among the standard characters. It's also heavily amplified if you have a character like Sparkle that can give Clara a bunch of extra turns (while buffing her FUA between turns, as well). Her skill does considerable damage, turn after turn, when her marks aren't being constantly cleared.

[@salinalunara]

as a fellow clara main (e3) w/yunli lc s1, should I keep pushing towards e6? I was strongly considering e4 with the selector, but hoyo kinda deflated my excitement for her potential w/the last few boss enemies, so I'm a bit scared of further investing in her even though I want to. also, did you decide to use the relic set that buffs skill damage? I'm interested in hearing how other ppl play her.

[@IshimurA99]

Of all the 5-star characters in the regular banner, Bronya and Himeko will always be the two characters I should get the most. Because they are good in many ways 👍

[@hisdudeness690]

it is a very good pick over E4 Bronya which is just cope.

[@Hououin818]

I think Welt e6 is genuinely cracked, his e6 give him an extra hit on skill, an extra talent proc and 13 extra energy when combined with e2, giving him a permanent 2 turns ult at minimum

[@unendingvoid]

If you actually build him for it, his E6 is relatively on par with E2 dhil as a DPS. He can get a 2 turn ult with that E6 and E2. The extra hit also makes his damage scary Enemies also never move so that's a thing

Ever since I started playing the game, I have always been in awe with Himeko's character design and ult animation and I always wanted to get her (I chose Bronya in the 300 pull character selector btw) but I always lose to Bailu (she's E4 now) so now that we are getting a free 5 star selector I can finally get the character I enjoy the most gameplay wise. It's great that Himeko is finally getting the love and recognition she deserves and I hope to get more copies of her even if I lose the pity multiple times ^_^

[@blkk92]

How you get as much as 300 star rail ticket

[@haninjamaxflare555]

Ranking standard 5 star based on their performance at E6 (Personal opinion so don't take this seriously, ps biased on Welt and Himeko 😂 just for funsies tbh 😆) Himeko: Speed and FuA go brrrr, also more breaks and energy for her. Good for Crit/Hybrid/Superbreak, my E0S3 hybrid Himeko 2 cycled the first half of Moc (Yes i got 3 copies of Milky Way 💀) Still at E0 Clara: E6 is BONKERS ngl, putting her in off element actually a pretty good idea, Luocha value also goes up, but any sustain is usable with her. 50% chance to do a Svarog Punch everytime an ally is hit is something else. Currently at E1 Welt: Skill and Ult spam, Extra bounce and Energy and Dmg, actually good as a dps, VERY good with Acheron (ik jq exist but i don't have jq.). Also he's a Chad at 80+ y/o he's him guys 🔥🗣️ Currently at E0 Bronya: Cuz she's Bronya (tho Sunday is coming out soon, and he's an upgrade of her.). Also good with Feixiao in wind weak stage/enemies. Currently at E1 Bailu: Dmg% and Dmg reduction, Sadly still no Cleanse, also more revive, she's actually good if the enemy has no cc debuff (or debuff in general.). Still at E0 idk how lmao Idk how to rate Gepard and Yanqing tbh so im putting them both at the last place, here's why: Gepard: His E1 is nice but E2 till E6 is bad, Trust me when i say E6 Gepard is gonna be the only one standing without Landaus or Moment of Victory, his trace and E6 is USELESS if he's the only unit standing, he's supposed to be keeping your team alive, not being the only one alive. Also i have E3 Gepard, istg if i get another one ima kms Yanqing: Him at E6 is actually good, but it's just too... Conditioal, even his base kit is RNG, E6 needs you to kill an enemy, and even then it only last for a turn. There's E0S1 Jingliu you can get, but you can main him if you like him (i actually like his play style.). Currently at E0 (Cope) Aglea as a new Standard character maybe? 👀 Just in case, holding on to it might be a better idea...

[@digitalmaijiin6236]

​@@Mimic_656 double damage from skill with active mark, beautiful.

[@Than211]

@@ananditamazumdar E1 Clara allows her Mark to remain on the targets after she uses her skill. The Marks are applied when Clara counters against an enemy and when Clara uses her skill against an enemy with Mark, it essentially does double damage to that target. EOD makes a point that E1 isn't great for Clara because Clara is generally built slow and therefore wouldn't use her skill nearly as often. That's true, but if Clara is E1, it more or less allows her to deal double damage with her skill every time she uses it rather than occasionally (because enemies would attack, get countered, get a Mark, Clara uses skill, removes Mark, and then rinse and repeat) - Clara might take a second turn before the enemy has a chance to attack and to get Mark reapplied (like if they were Weakness Broken, for example). As for E1 Clara or E1 Bronya, it really depends on who you're using. E1 Bronya is definitely better but that's only if you use her - with Sunday coming out soon, potentially, Sunday may just replace Bronya completely on the team OR you could play BOTH Sunday and Bronya together. With E1 Clara, again, it depends on if you use her, however, I must say that Clara in general isn't the greatest option and her position on the team can potentially be replaced with anyone else who is a DPS because she doesn't do anything that's too unique except 'taunt' enemies which may or may not provide any value.

E1 Bronya will be my pick. This video helped me reach my decision and I thank you for that.

[@technicalleon]

I started playing Star Rail for Himeko (and Kafka) and it took me until Rappa's banner to finally get a copy of her. I then used my standard banner selector on Clara. I'm a bit salty that the 2 standard characters I like the most were the last ones I got from the roster. Now that I got all the standard characters however, this selector is less valuable for me. Especially since I already got like E2 Bronya and E2 Welt. I'd much rather get more gold tickets for Fugue, Herta and Aglaea. Not sure which one's more valuable but I'll probably go for E1 Himeko or E1 Clara.

[@Shayera01]

Interesting video. I will address two things: -E6 Welt is amazing and I'm surprised that it was dismissed so easily. E0 skill does 3 hits, 10 energy per hit. E2 gives 3 energy when his talent is triggered. E6 gives his skill an extra hit for a total of 4. Math time: (4 hits x 10 energy) + (4 hits x 3 energy) = 40 + 12 = 52 ENERGY from a single skill used on Slowed enemies. Welt can also potentially get a lot of energy after popping his ultimate because it's AoE. He can deal concentrated damage against single targets (and shred toughness if the target is weak to imaginary). He has crazy energy regen in AoE situations. It's crazy! -E1 Clara is great if you use someone to make her fast or take more turns. Using skill more often + still doing the same counter damage = more damage overall.

[@Y_-xs9ue]

Gepard has absolutely nothing to defend your team against crowd control so I'd say the effect res from his e4 is very welcome. It's not Aventurine level but at least you won't be as likely to get debuffed by enemies. Another thing is that, even though Gepard does have some slight aggro directed to him, he's still most likely going to be the one to die last in the team so I don't think that his e6 is good in practice. Clara e1 though is not going to have an overwhelming presence in practice but it does help her a bit if you are playing her in MoC and since it is a stepping stone to her other more valuable eidolons I'd say it's a good idea to get Clara e1 if you have the other's checked out. Himeko e4 is good but since she doesn't have an overstack mechanic I'd say this is closer to Clara e1 level but without being a significant stepping stone to better eidolons. Yanqing probably has his best eidolons in e4 since it's the one that buffs him the most but he's not valuable as a dps in today's standards. Welt is really only niche to being a pseudo susutain and Bailu I can only see using Penacony planar set to buff lightning damage dealers like Jing Yuan and Aglaea later on. Aside from that she's an okay healer but is still niche due to her lack of cleanse. Bronya is good but might become a lot less relavant for those looking to pull Sunday since he literally does everything Bronya does but better. I'm pretty sure any character that still uses Bronya is immediately replaced by Sunday now: Boothill, Seele, Jingliu, and of course Jing Yuan is massively buffed by Sunday but he didn't use Bronya even when he was newly released.

[@MCC2212]

Agreed, better hold on to the free character gift until 3.0 comes if you already have both Bronya and Himeko. If Aglaea is the Remembrance standard character and the free character gift updated in 3.0 to include her, then we are in luckkkk. But if not, then we are not losing anything.

I just started the game less than a month ago, very helpful. I'm like 200 pulls away from my free 5-star but I'll definitely be grabbing Himeko. Right now my only fire user is Asta and her random bounce always has the worst luck.

[@KingofBlah37]

My Bronya luck has been absurd, so the 300-pull selector from the Standard Banner has already gotten me to E6, while the rest are at E0 or E1. Her E4 is surprisingly good, giving her a little bit more energy and allowing her to contribute some toughness damage against the right enemies. Feixiao in particular appreciates the additional stacks towards her Ult, so combined with Robin and a QPQ Gallagher, Bronya's E4 has perfect synergy with the team. E6 is also exceptional, giving her 100% buff uptime in most cases. FUA units and Jingliu appreciate this the most, since they are very prone to losing her DMG% buff. I think EOD might be undervaluing Clara's E1 a little bit. Sure, her Skill isn't the majority of her damage, but it's noticeable when enemies don't have the Mark on them. If you're playing her with Sparkle or Robin (and you're ideally using at least one of them), then the Action Advance can cause you to lose the Mark very easily. My Clara is E0, but I'm planning to get Yunli on her re-run, so I don't have much incentive to pull any Eidolons for Clara. My Himeko is E1, and I don't care all that much about her E2, but it gets me one step closer to E4 and E6. That will be my choice for this selector. I don't much care about the rest of them.

[@vikryarsana5081]

I think this video really undersells e0 gepard particularly for new accounts who failed to roll gallagher. If you have himeko clara bronya a new player without gallagher will get more out of gepard than their eidolons. Between gepard and lynx you can sustain 2 teams and are no longer pressured to save pulls for a limited sustain. He's worse in the long term frame of >1 year of play, but in the short term of maybe the next 6 or so months it frees up to 180 pulls letting you grow your roster much more smoothly.

e6 welt actually lets him get consistent 2 turn ults with atk rope instead of ERR, as well as the biggest dmg increase for his eidolon, but unlikely many will get him there. You can run him as a full dps at this point and with good supports can see good dmg output.

[@Scummoner]

I want to point out about E1 Clara is that one of her premier supports is Robin which will turn advance her making the mark permanent shoot up in value. If you're dedicated to Clara I think it's super worth but if she's side unit, not very necessary.

[@Sarathewise158]

I'd argue Gepard's e4 is actually pretty useful if you're using him, especially with his signature. Last moc, I was struggling against Kafka, mostly because his taunt made it so that he was always the target for her dominate, and even at 49.9% effect res, he lost EVERY TIME. Like. He's on my alt so his build isn't great, but I expected him to win at least once. Obviously the asterisk is that a lot of people will be playing Aventurine instead anyway (like my main), but if you ARE using Gepard, the effect res is very useful since the team's survivability falls off if he's not constantly refreshing shields, especially if he's also attacking the team himself.

[@aaronmorgan5860]

E2 Bronya is who I am going for. This is an important Eidolon if you are trying to make E2 Acheron work. Acheron is slow do to the attk boots she runs. Because of Bronya E2 it will always make Acheron go 1st in the following turns as long as Bronya keeps using her skill on Acheron.

[@ST1mAPB]

Bronya E2 is very good imho. Build your DPS with 105speed and Bronya with 134 speed and u miss 1 first turn for you DPS, but can have much better substats and also ATK boots. I'm using my E2R1 Acheron with Bronya E3R1 Bronya with this setup. Going for E4 Bronya to some day have E6 Bronya. E6 Bronya is also game changing. WIth your DPS having 2 turns a cycle thanks to Bronya, getting her Buff to last 2 turns is super powerful.

Himeko gets 1 stack for regular and 2 for elite, so with e4 she gets fua from elite and 2stacks from regular enemies. E6 Clara read svarog has 50% chance to counter when ANYONE is hit. This means it like she is in her ult without being in her ult, plus she gets 1 more counter in ult state, making her perma counter stacks since energy req is so low for her ult. That said im between E1 bronya and E4 Clara, thinking Clara cus I use her still sometimes and ive never used bronya cause E0 is dog. Already blessed with E4 Himeko, could go for her E6 if i lose another 50/50 to her E5 in the meantime.

I love Clara, hate that I tried chasing meta just to min max end game content. Love countering and clara's animation

[@Borovski213]

Bronya and Himeko are the only choice to go to. Personally, Im going for E1 Bronya just bcs to my account, Himeko went from not indexed to E4 during 2.x lmao

[@aswani09]

I think I will get E0 Bronya with my free ticket. I still have the 300 ticket selection as well so this video was very helpful for me

[@VerbosePX]

I reached 300 just a couple weeks ago : in my case, Bronya was the easy choice, having Welt, Himeko and Clara already. Then lost Aventurine to her E1 : was that really a loss ?! I think these 4 are really good and gets better with Eidolons (Welt probably the least, except for Dr.Ratio and Acheron if no Jiaoqiu, but his kit is quite unique) Clara is a superb addition to a Feixiao-Robin-Aventurine team against either Hoolay or multiple enemies, also a good enough proxy for a Yunli And Himeko, of course ❤‍🔥 (got her on the Departure banner and then E1 at my first 50-50 loss : certainly my most used unit with Acheron) Now i have Himeko E1, Welt E0, Clara E0, Bronya E1 : i would be happy with any of them. But thanks to the video, i think i would go for Himeko E2 : Pure Fiction is the mode i struggle the most in it seems, whereas Clara E1 would bring value only if used as main DPS (so far is use her mostly as a support for Feixiao team and with Basic attack)

[@number-1-furina-fan]

e1 clara is great if you're like me and you play her hypercarry with 160 speed sparkle lol. if they add aglaea to standard I might go for her, but I also just don't think I'll have enough pulls to make a good summon team. so I might just go for e2 clara to get a step further in my e6 clara main dreams. I think svarog is gonna have a word with me sometime about always putting his daughter on the front lines...

[@lovemyselfmariya7765]

I already know what I am picking. E2 himeko. This is because she's the only standard character I use constantly. I could go for Bronya E1 but I just never use her. I got bronya so late (from the 300 pulls ticket) that by that time my sparkle was fully levelled and built. I just never use bronya. And I don't own the units whose best in slot support is Bronya. I have all the standard units at E1 except Bailu and Bronya. So, E2 Himeko is what I'll be going for! I watched this video just in case. But I know what my account needs and that is our dommy mommy Himeko.

[@Osprey1994]

It's kinda tough for me. I don't really use Bronya and I have Sparkle, but E1 Bronya does sound nice. I'm at E3 Bailu if I remember right, which means I could consider Bailu BUT all that would do is potentially push Luocha out of relevance but I don't think it would beat out Huehue, Gallachad, or Lingsha. So that kinda brings me to Clara, and I have personally found myself in multiple situations where having Clara might mean the difference between an easy clear, or a multi day struggle to get good RNG. I guess this will be a really tough choice, or the option might become more clear as the day approaches. As it stands, I'm kind of leaning towards Clara, as having that arrow in my quiver seems to be a solution I'd get decent use out of.

[@hisdudeness690]

E1 Bronya is still 50% RNG. It isn't incredibly significant if you are already good managing SP. Apart from E1 Himeko, any eidolon for Clara is higher priority in my list.

[@crisbermudez]

Himeko E1 ✅ Bronya E1 ✅ Clara E2 ✅ Welt E3 ✅ Bailu E3 ✅ Yanqing ❌ Gepard ❌ I will probably go for Himeko E2, but I will wait because we don’t know if we will have a new standard Remembrance character.

[@mcjester1523]

I hit e1 Yanqing first month of the game and at least he didn’t go from cracked to irrelevant like seele. He was just always shit. They even changed his e1 way back then. It used to be he’d do increased dmg to frozen enemies but would end the freeze. While coping I’m hope they’ll buff him and maybe that day is soon as remembrance approaches due to the freeze links in simulated universe. Unironically I was cheesing the hell out of simulated universe way back when using remembrance and still do every now and then with him

[@ZeeroTwoNone]

Himeko and 4* Herta are a goat in PF. Still building them both but rn they are decent

[@shinronvaynex5900]

havent played for too long. and have saved all jades and premium ticket or unless needed pull a few to get enough to buy the mothly ones. as for the 5 stars i pulled is, welt, welt, welt, light cone. and yangxing. so should i just pick welt like hoyo wants me to? or pick bailu or bronya?

[@patman_for_sure]

What about Clara? Feixao, Clara, March 7th the Hunt (Clara as shifu), and Lynx. Is this viable?

[@kacpecz5]

I wonder if Bronya is worth picking if I’m going to have both Sunday and Sparkle? Thoughts? Debating to start collecting Himeko constellations instead.

[@balzaque1]

I'm only missing welt and bailu and considering getting welt because I kinda like him and though that maybe he could be a placeholder nihility character on my acheron team since I only have pela so far. Not entirely sure how good he would be in that role though... almost at my 300 pulls on the standard banner as well so "soon" I will get another choice to make and that will probably go to make my himeko better

[@Cadmun]

If you don’t have Bronya, pick her. If you have her, still pick her. All her Eidolons are significant. For me, E6 is the mission 😊

[@AbyssArray]

So before watching this video... I have E2 Welt, E1 Bronya, E0 Himeko, E1 Bailu - no Yanqing, Clara or Gepard. I only use Himeko out of them currently, so my first immediate thought is getting Clara. I think I'll wait a bit to use it, on the fence between Himeko eidolons or getting Clara

[@dronzer007]

I have E1 Himeko and E0 Clara and Bailu. So I'm probably gonna go for Bronya.

[@HiDokja]

I already got them all and especially have Himeko at E4. Maybe I will choose Bronya for E1 but still I don't use any of them except for Himeko

[@drakehound2244]

Himeko .. already have Bronya, cause Himeko works perfectly with Firefly ,linghsa and Fugue (but if they nerfed Fugue so much, I might skip her and leave Harmony MC forever as harmony) Himeko cause people don't understand that Himeko like Herta 4star ... do not have a activation limit at her followup attacks. so she can pull off 5 Activation a Round if they keep tossing new mobs then Himeko value goes up even more.

[@shydarr]

I unfortunately have Bailu E4, and every other healer in the game unlocked. Is she worth using in any situation at all over the rest of the healers E0?

[@justchillaxs4017]

Himeko. The only 5* I haven't pulled yet since the beginning.

[@hayleymurphy8271]

Im gonna wait until 3.2 before it expires in the miniscule chance theyll add a new standard character. I already have E2 at least of all the standards so

[@sentientroman]

New players: Bronya Veteran players: Himeko Eidolons

[@noherczeg]

Yayy, Himeko!

[@Yoru-desu13]

18:25 I don't think this will happen. The ticket will say the names of the current standard banner characters so it won't scale.

[@archerkuro4158]

Another reason to save ur ticket as long as possible you might lose a 50/50 and get an eidelon that will change your decision

[@eongarica2960]

I have E3 Bronya so I'll just go with bronya's E4 since she can synergize well with feixiao

[@Ghalion666]

My himeko and bronya are e2. Too bad e3 is blah. I really would like to see what an e6 himeko ult does to a break meter some day though. Does it triple the break efficiency?

[@farisdanial1030]

I have played since launch and im happy that i have yet to lose my 50/50 to Yanqing and i have every standard except him

[@maeaw.]

FINALLY E4 HIMEKO LETS GOOOOOOOOOO

[@pilu4242]

16:04 guys, please watch Yanqing's Eidolon review. The dis are crazy 😂

[@Lightstation_]

Me with E1 Himeko already. I have everyone except welt and Gepard so I am picking welt

[@Malinzo]

I am between e0 clara and e1 bronya. I dont have a physical dps, so i will probably go for clara

[@MellowGirl2000]

I'm getting Himeko from the selector and Clara's e1 when I hit 300 tickets

[@nepgeardam6807]

Luckily Himeko keeps answering my lost 50-50s so I can focus on Bronya

[@shachede6828]

Himeko next question!

[@shipovnik99]

I hope to get e2 for my firefly if be a little lucky in 2.7 so believe ill no need himeko for pf after this. Thats why e3 for bronya is the best choise... i gues...
