The current apex damage dealers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Evanescia<\/strong> \u2014 the consensus best DPS in the game, with the most consistent Elation damage engine and strong performance across all three endgame modes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Himeko \u2022 Nova<\/strong> \u2014 a top-tier Erudition carry that shines in both single-target and AoE fights.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Silver Wolf Lv.999<\/strong> \u2014 a supercharged debuffer-carry variant that matches Evanescia in Elation teams and excels at low-target burst.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Castorice<\/strong> \u2014 an HP-drain hypercarry team anchor that still clears everything.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mortenax Blade<\/strong> \u2014 the best generalist sub-DPS thanks to defense shred plus huge AoE damage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rin Tohsaka &amp; Gilgamesh<\/strong> \u2014 the Fate collab carries, with Rin running a strong dual-carry core alongside Archer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Power-crept carries:<\/strong> Once-dominant DPS like Dan Heng \u2022 Imbibitor Lunae, Jing Yuan, Jingliu, Seele, and the original Blade have slipped as power creep marches on.

The premier picks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Yao Guang<\/strong> \u2014 the top Elation support and a rotation accelerator that speeds up your whole team.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sparkle<\/strong> \u2014 still the gold-standard Skill-point-generating buffer for many hypercarry teams.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cyrene<\/strong> \u2014 a premium buffer, especially strong enabling Castorice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sunday &amp; Tribbie<\/strong> \u2014 elite Harmony supports; Sunday is a top summon\/energy enabler and Tribbie adds team-wide Vulnerability.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Robin \u2022 Summeretto<\/strong> \u2014 the new 4.5 Remembrance support; her Assist Skill lifts whole-team damage, landing her at T0.5 (her buffs scale with how often allies act).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Trailblazer (Elation)<\/strong> \u2014 one of the best supports in the game, and completely <strong>free<\/strong> from the 4.2 main story.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Sustain Characters (Healers &amp; Shielders) in 4.5<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Every endgame team needs a sustain, and a few stand above the rest:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Huohuo<\/strong> \u2014 percentage-based energy regen plus reliable healing makes her the premier all-purpose sustain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hyacine<\/strong> \u2014 a top-tier healer who covers more ground than most and clears Apocalyptic Shadow comfortably.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dan Heng \u2022 Permansor Terrae (DHPT)<\/strong> \u2014 a hybrid sustain that also fills the Astral Express\/support slot.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lingsha<\/strong> \u2014 excellent for Break teams, combining healing with damage and Toughness reduction.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Aventurine<\/strong> (original) \u2014 still a strong shielder, though newer sustains have edged him out of the top spot.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Characters by Endgame Mode<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>HSR&#8217;s three rotating endgame modes reward different strengths, so the &#8220;best&#8221; character genuinely changes depending on what you&#8217;re clearing.

The takeaway: aim to build <em>two<\/em> viable teams, since every endgame mode asks for a second squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/immortalboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/bf56490a-51c6-47af-a551-ad73fbbe91b8_11zon-1024x575.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27264\" style=\"width:1405px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/immortalboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/bf56490a-51c6-47af-a551-ad73fbbe91b8_11zon-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/immortalboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/bf56490a-51c6-47af-a551-ad73fbbe91b8_11zon-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/immortalboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/bf56490a-51c6-47af-a551-ad73fbbe91b8_11zon-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/immortalboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/bf56490a-51c6-47af-a551-ad73fbbe91b8_11zon.jpg 1070w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Should You Pull? 4.5 Banner Verdicts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Version 4.5 runs two phases of banners, each pairing a new summer alt-form with a rerun:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Phase<\/th><th>Characters<\/th><th>Verdict<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Phase 1<\/strong> (Aug 26)<\/td><td>Robin \u2022 Summeretto (new), Hyacine (rerun)<\/td><td>Summeretto is the priority \u2014 a strong Remembrance support (T0.5).

The strongest free and low-investment options in 4.5:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Trailblazer (Elation)<\/strong> \u2014 a genuinely top-tier free support from the 4.2 story; slot it into almost any team.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Your free Fate collab unit<\/strong> \u2014 claim it during the collab for a strong, no-cost roster addition.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gallagher &amp; March 7th (Hunt)<\/strong> \u2014 excellent 4-star sustain and sub-DPS that punch above their rarity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Standard-banner carries<\/strong> \u2014 if you&#8217;re picking a guaranteed standard 5-star, prioritize a versatile sustain or DPS you lack.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Honkai: Star Rail 4.5 keeps <strong>Evanescia, Himeko \u2022 Nova, and Silver Wolf Lv.999<\/strong> at the top of the carry pile, while the new <strong>Robin \u2022 Summeretto<\/strong> reshapes Remembrance teams and <strong>Aventurine \u2022 Waveflair<\/strong> gives Elation follow-up squads a fresh option. But the real lesson of this tier list is that HSR rewards smart team-building over chasing every shiny new banner \u2014 claim your free units, fill your account&#8217;s actual gaps, and build around synergy. Use the mode-specific picks to plan your Stellar Jade, and re-check back here as 4.5 settles and 4.6 approaches.

Himeko \u2022 Nova, Silver Wolf Lv.999, Castorice, and Mortenax Blade round out the top carries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When does Honkai Star Rail 4.5 release?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Version 4.5 goes live on August 25\/26, 2026, following HoYoverse&#8217;s standard six-week cadence, and runs until Version 4.6 in early October. Phase 1 features Robin \u2022 Summeretto and a Hyacine rerun; Phase 2 (around September 12) adds Aventurine \u2022 Waveflair and an Ashveil rerun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Should I pull Robin \u2022 Summeretto or Aventurine \u2022 Waveflair?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Robin \u2022 Summeretto (T0.5) is the stronger long-term pull \u2014 a Remembrance support whose Assist Skill boosts whole-team damage. Aventurine \u2022 Waveflair (T1) is excellent specifically in Elation and follow-up attack teams, so pull him if you run that archetype.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Robin \u2022 Summeretto better than the original Robin?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>They fill different roles and don&#8217;t compete for the same slot. The original Robin is a Harmony unit that advances the whole team and buffs damage, while Summeretto is a Remembrance support. Many teams can even run considerations for both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who are the best free-to-play characters?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Trailblazer (Elation) is a top-tier support and completely free from the 4.2 story. Your free Fate collab unit, plus 4-stars like Gallagher and March 7th (Hunt), are also excellent low-investment picks that clear endgame content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which characters have been power-crept?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Once-dominant carries like Dan Heng \u2022 Imbibitor Lunae, Jing Yuan, Jingliu, Seele, and the original Blade have fallen off as newer units release. They still work with investment but aren&#8217;t ideal to build a new account around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How is this tier list rated?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Every character is assessed at Eidolon 0 with realistic Light Cones and Relics, not whale builds. Units are judged on how consistently they clear the three endgame modes (Memory of Chaos, Pure Fiction, Apocalyptic Shadow), with deductions for heavy dependence on specific Eidolons, signature cones, or limited supports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Will this tier list change during 4.5?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. The two new characters only just released, so their placements will settle as players optimize teams, and 4.6 will bring further shifts. Treat tiers as a current-meta reference and re-check after each update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trying to figure out the best characters in Honkai: Star Rail right now?
