In games featuring numerous playable characters such as Honkai: Star Rail, it’s common to discover the optimal combination of characters for your party to overcome the most challenging gameplay. Each character possesses unique traits and battle styles, allowing them to complement each other effectively within a team.

Himeko is a top-tier, five-star character typically associated with Scholarship as her path. When skillfully constructed, she unleashes significant damage on large groups of foes, and this effect is amplified when paired with specific companions.

13.

Asta

In our discussion about Himeko’s top teammates, Asta stands out as a prime choice due to their exceptional synergy in the game. After activating Asta’s Ignite bonus skill, Himeko will inflict an additional 18% Fire damage on enemies, provided that Asta is included in the party.

Additionally, she significantly increases Attack Power with accumulated Charging stacks when facing numerous opponents. These two characters excel at reducing an enemy’s Durability bar, especially if the foe is vulnerable to Fire. When pitted against such a weakened enemy, they can swiftly annihilate it.

12.

Herta

Herta may not stand out as one of the top characters without Eidolons in the game initially, but she can prove quite effective when paired with Himeko. Herta initiates a subsequent attack whenever an enemy’s health falls below 50%, while Himeko performs a subsequent attack once three Weakness Breaks have been activated.

Combining them in a fight against foes vulnerable to Ice and Fire will swiftly deplete their Durability meter. This strategy works great for farming Calyx or other minor opponents in different locations. With these two characters on your team, you can easily set the battle on auto-pilot and let the game handle it for you.

11.

Luocha

In the Version 1.1 update, Hoyoverse introduced a character named Abundance who excels at various tasks. Luocha stands out for his ability to effortlessly heal your team members and eliminate any debuffs inflicted by enemies. Furthermore, his ultimate ability inflicts Imaginary damage on all opponents while significantly depleting their Toughness meter.

Himeko and Luocha can wreak amazing destruction when enemies are vulnerable to both Illusions and Fire. With their shared ability to withstand damage (Toughness), Himeko consistently triggers her follow-up attack, while the enemy’s health depletes rapidly.

10.

Silver Wolf

It can be quite annoying when, while playing Himeko, a boss is resistant to Fire damage, yet surrounding minions are vulnerable. Typically, one would want to target the boss immediately due to the need to deplete its Toughness quickly. However, Silver Wolf introduces an interesting twist to this scenario.

Her skills have the power to lower an enemy’s Defense stat and instill a particular Vulnerability associated with one of your team’s combat styles. When Himeko and Silver Wolf are engaged together against an adversary that is vulnerable to all your party’s combat types except Fire, this vulnerability will always be imposed.

9.

Blade

Character Blade specializes in Wind Destruction, boasting high Attack (ATK) and Health Points (HP). He’s capable of dishing out Area of Effect (AoE) damage from his Enhanced Basic Attack, Ultimate, and Follow-up. Notably, these attacks excel at reducing the foe’s Defense bar, making him a formidable ally alongside Himeko.

In the 1.2 update, a fresh wave of enemies vulnerable to Wind were introduced across the Overworld, Simulated Universe, and Memory of Chaos upon his initial release. For those considering confronting these foes, utilizing Himeko’s arsenal equipped with a Blade would prove particularly beneficial.

8.

Pela

Initially, Pela may appear unusual in this roster, but she proves valuable for Himeko during the game’s late stages. By employing Pela’s skill or triggering her Ultimate, she decreases all opponents’ Defense proportionally to your Trace level, thereby amplifying Himeko’s attack power.

Additionally, Himeko’s Starfire ability occasionally causes a Burn effect on opponents, which is a status that amplifies the damage Pela can deal. Furthermore, Himeko’s skill itself inflicts 20% additional damage on enemies suffering from Burn, a boost that accumulates with the defense reduction provided by Pela and substantially increases her overall damage output.

7.

Jade

For an extended period, characters with intellectual qualities were often ranked the lowest among meta characters. However, this changed significantly for many of them, such as Himeko, when Jade came into play. Unique among Erudition units, Jade boosts her allies by marking them with a debt that lasts for three turns each time she activates her Skill.

As a gamer, I’ve found that whenever my ally, the debt collector, takes down an enemy, it gives Jade a stack for her next move. This is fantastic for Himeko because she can strike all five foes at once, increasing the chances of Jade triggering her follow-up attacks regularly.

6.

Yukong

Yukong is a unique Harmony character because she offers significant bonuses within the game, however, these advantages are exclusively granted to the characters acting after her. This setup can be challenging as it requires careful adjustment of Speed (SPD) in your DPS team members to fully utilize these benefits.

It’s fortunate that using ‘her’ with Himeko allows you to initiate her Follow-up Attack at will. Additionally, Ultimates and Follow-up Attacks don’t consume Yukong’s turn for the buff, so it effectively gives you an extra, free attack opportunity.

5.

Tingyun

As a gamer, I’d say: Himeko’s overall damage is significantly enhanced with Tingyun around! She’s an exceptional Harmony character who amplifies another character’s attack power for three consecutive turns once her Skill is activated. What makes her even more appealing is that she’s a four-star character, meaning with some gameplay time under your belt and a few summons in the Gacha system, you can easily add Tingyun to your squad!

Boosting Himeko’s Ultimate ability can also expedite Himeko’s acquisition of her own Ultimate, a significant source of damage for her. Tingyun, being an adaptable character who synergizes well with every DPS in the game, is definitely worth investing time to upgrade. The combination of Tingyun and Himeko is particularly advantageous, making it a smart choice to enhance Tingyun.

4.

Bronya

Star Rail is more beneficial than increasing attack speed.

Immediately executing a turn will help Himeko power up her Ultimate faster and inflict additional damage. Bronya’s Ultimate intensifies the boost on all team members, ideal if used right before Himeko’s Ultimate. Notably, pairing Tingyun and Bronya with Himeko can significantly amplify her damage output.

3.

Yanqing

I’m a chilly character on the battlefield, going by the name Yanqing. My unique skill dishes out multiple chunks of damage, making me a formidable force against foes weak to Ice. Plus, Himeko and I work like a dream together – when she strikes, it’s because I’ve already broken through several enemy shields.

With Yanqing and Himeko in your squad, you’ve got a solid amount of damage output already. You can utilize the remaining two positions for healers and damage mitigators to further enhance your team. If you’re thinking about tackling some Calyx runs to gather materials, these two characters will significantly speed up the process, even during auto-battles.

2.

Sampo

To put it simply, Sampo could be an excellent addition to Himeko’s team due to his unique ability that swiftly depletes the enemy’s Durability gauge. Additionally, he inflicts the Wind Rip current on foes, which, when combined with Himeko’s Burn effect, can cause significant damage to enemies during their turn.

On various planets and in the Forgotten Hall shop, there’s a four-star artifact named Fermata up for sale. By accumulating sufficient grinding efforts, you can upgrade this Light Cone to Superimposition 5 at no additional cost. This enhancement will amplify Sampo’s Break Effect and Wind Shear damage, significantly boosting the overall damage output of your team.

1.

Fugue

In the 2.7 update, Fugue was introduced, significantly altering Himeko’s position in the meta by making her suitable for use in late-game modes. Essentially, Fugue adds an additional Durability layer to enemies, enabling allies to inflict Weakness Break on them not once but twice.

Apart from boosting her Ally’s Damage against Breaks and lowering Enemy Defense, this character is particularly beneficial for a fighter like Himeko, who can secure follow-up attacks by exploiting enemy vulnerabilities. In modes with continually respawning foes such as Pure Fiction, you might find Himeko keeping the smaller enemies with Fire Weakness from taking another turn.
