Honkai: Star Rail’s Powercreep Dilemma: Are Your Characters Getting Left Behind?
Star Rail is a constant issue that some players struggle with. They feel a sense of nostalgia for their once-dominant characters who used to rule the battlefield, but now seem less effective compared to newer ones. A player, mikethebest1, expressed this sentiment by sharing an image with the caption: “I miss when my characters could actually defeat bosses.” Many players share similar feelings, just as one might look at old family photos and think, “Wow, we all looked great back then!” These players fondly remember characters like Dan Heng IL or Jing Liu, but are faced with the reality that newer characters are generally stronger, quicker, and cooler in design. As new characters are introduced and discussed, it becomes clear that the older characters may no longer be as competitive.
