Honkai Star Rail Compositions

As Honkai: Star Rail continues to evolve, Version 3.3 introduces new characters and mechanics that redefine optimal team compositions. Whether you’re tackling Memory of Chaos, Pure Fiction, or challenging bosses like the Sky Titan, assembling the right team is crucial. Here are the top five team compositions dominating the meta in May 2025.

1. Castorice Hypercarry Team

  • Team Composition: Castorice (DPS), Remembrance Trailblazer (Support), Tribbie or Ruan Mei (Support), Hyacine (Healer)

Castorice thrives as a hypercarry when supported by characters that enhance her damage output and sustain. Remembrance Trailblazer provides critical buffs, while Tribbie or Ruan Mei offer resistance penetration and additional support. Hyacine ensures team survivability with her healing abilities. This composition allows Castorice to maximize her Newbud charge and summon Netherwing effectively.

2. Firefly Break Team

  • Team Composition: Firefly (DPS), Ruan Mei (Support), Fugue (Support), Lingsha (Healer/Sub-DPS)

Firefly’s strength lies in breaking enemy toughness, and this team amplifies that capability. Ruan Mei and Fugue boost Firefly’s Break Effect, while Lingsha provides healing and contributes additional damage. This setup is particularly effective against enemies with large HP pools.

3. Aglaea Memosprite Team

  • Team Composition: Aglaea (Summoner), Robin (Support), Sunday (Support), Huohuo (Healer)

Aglaea’s Memosprite summon becomes a formidable force when paired with buffers like Robin and Sunday. Huohuo maintains the team’s health and contributes to energy regeneration, ensuring Aglaea can consistently summon and empower her Memosprite. This team excels in sustained battles requiring continuous damage output.

4. Blade Sustain Team

  • Team Composition: Blade (DPS), Remembrance Trailblazer (Support), Tribbie (Support), Hyacine (Healer)

Blade’s high-risk, high-reward playstyle benefits from a team that offers both offensive buffs and reliable healing. Remembrance Trailblazer and Tribbie enhance Blade’s damage potential, while Hyacine’s healing ensures he remains in fighting condition. This composition is versatile, performing well across various game modes.

5. Acheron Debuff Team

  • Team Composition: Acheron (DPS), Jiaoqiu (Support), Sunday or Pela (Support), Hyacine (Healer)

Acheron’s damage scales with the number of debuffs on enemies. Jiaoqiu and Pela apply multiple debuffs, amplifying Acheron’s output. Hyacine provides necessary healing, ensuring team durability. This team is particularly effective in content where debuffing enemies is advantageous.

These team compositions reflect the current meta in Honkai: Star Rail as of May 2025. Tailoring your team to the specific challenges you face will maximize your success in the game
