Honkai: Star Rail - Best F2P Teams to Build

Combat in Honkai: Star Rail lives and dies by the teams that players can cobble together. With the correct selection of units, every challenge in the game can be conquered with relative ease, especially if the synergies between characters hit that perfect sweet spot that results in the biggest damage numbers and most broken interactions possible. Building a team in Honkai: Star Rail is heavily dependent on a player's luck. Not everyone can play using the best characters in the roster. However, the F2P units in this game are more than capable of clearing almost everything that stands in the way. Here are four F2P team comps that any player can build. If you're still confused about who to pull, you can click here and read the best character tier list we've prepared for you.

 

The Ol' Reliable

This is the standard team composition all players should be familiar with. It consists of:

• One tank
• One DPS
• One flex pick
• One healer

 

Players can take this sort of team anywhere and find decent success as long as they play their cards right. By its very nature as the "traditional RPG comp," it's also very flexible when it comes to character picks. The starting trio composed of Dan Heng, March 7th, and Physical Trailblazer can breeze through Honkai: Star Rail's story content without a problem as well as most of the early Forgotten Hall and Simulated Universe floors.

 

The Double Tank Setup

As its name suggests, this team setup relies on using two tanks that can share enemy aggro with each other. It's composed of:

• Fire Trailblazer
• March 7th
• Two flex picks

 

March and Fire Trailblazer are the only two F2P tanks on the roster as of the launch version of Honkai: Star Rail. The good thing is that they are both incredibly good at their jobs. This composition is pretty flexible when it comes to damage options. Any other character can fit into the remaining two slots here, and since the tanks offer enough protection for everybody, having a healer is completely optional unless players are locked in a drawn-out boss fight. Depending on the enemy matchup, either March or Fire Trailblazer can assume the role of dedicated Weakness Breaker as well while the over covers for their original tank duty.

 

The Hyper Carry Crew

Using a hyper-carry team is always risky, but it can definitely pay off if players manage their units properly. An example of this using F2P characters would be something like:

• Dan Heng
• Tingyun
• Asta
• A tank or healer

 

In this case, Asta and Tingyun will focus mostly on giving Dan Heng enough buffs to delete large chunks of an enemy's health bar. Bronya is the ideal support unit for this team comp, replacing Asta's SPD boosts with ATK and CRIT DMG buffs that stack nicely with Tingyun's.

 

The last slot can be filled by either a tank or a healer. In most cases, March 7th or Fire Trailblazer with the 3-star Defense Light Cone is enough to cover this slot since they'll be able to break Toughness Bars while restoring their own HP with their ultimate abilities, giving the rest of the team more leeway to pull off their big, one-shot combos. This slot can also be filled by Pela since she can use her abilities to reduce the DEF of enemies and make Dan Heng hurt even more.

 

The Elation Meme Team

This team is designed with the Simulated Universe in mind. It makes heavy use of ultimate abilities and follow-up attacks to score ridiculous damage numbers using the Elation's many blessings. The team is as follows:

• March 7th
• Herta
• One ST DPS unit
• Natasha

 

This team cares very little about elemental weaknesses. As long as players can get Slaughterhouse No. 4 and either Auto-Harmonica or Champion's Dinner: Cat's Cradle, they'll be able to steamroll through almost everything with sheer brute force. Couple these with Freeze-related bonuses from the Remembrance, and enemies won't even be able to take their turn before the incoming onslaught of empowered ultimates and Herta spins wipes them off the field.

 

However, as with everything in the Simulated Universe, this is extremely luck-dependent. Still, players can try to actively look for the necessary blessings by picking the right Curios or, if necessary, resetting their Simulated Universe runs altogether. If the pieces do fall into place, then March 7th alone can hard carry this team to victory.
