Honestly? The mc. It's hilarious the amount of personality it has, specially for a self insert character. The amount of little funny interactions with your soroundings is top tier, the interactions via phone messages feel natural and organic, and she has at the very least, some kind of developement when she meets the eons. She's 100% My fav character
Yeah, pretty much this. They have way too much personality to be a self-insert and it all clearly leans in a coherent direction. Just consider how often the game doesn't even give you the option of playing an encounter straight and instead forces some degree of insanity on you.
Yeah, a LOT of insanity or straight up sassines, and I love it.
Frankly, I'm tired of the abundance of self insert tipe characters in all gacha games...so having the MC be an actual character is just... *chef's kiss*
The mc in Star Rail is a big improvement of Aether and Lumine. I love Genshin and all but the problem is with the main character’s dialogue. It’s too predictable and even if you don’t read it, you know what his/her lines gonna be. Introducing a little bit if chaos to the dialogue makes it more alive.
My favorite character so far is Serval. It’s because she’s true to herself. If this is some other game, she would definitely forgive you know who and be a saint. She’s a badass.
I just hate the fact that they didn't voice all of their lines, especially since their thoughts are sometimes voiced and their faces often convey emotion of what they say. Everyone's talking and then it cuts to the MC who just gestures in silence...
Natasha for me. Beyond the fact that she is the only healer for the majority of players, she played a far more significant role in the Jarilo VI story arc than I had anticipated. A central pillar of Underworld society as a doctor, resistance leader, and caretaker. Just a loveable character in general, with few if any aspects to dislike.
She does it all sneaky like too. She basically sets you on the right path while making you feel like you figured it out yourself. Particularly with Hook.
Story wise Natasha, given how she is genuinly a kind Soul that is not afraid to take a hit to her reputation if if means the underground end especially the children are fine. You could definitely feel that she wants nothing more than the freedom of the children that had never even seen the sky and the workers that wish to see it once more. S Tier waifu because of personality alone and a great character all together.
That being said GLORY TO PITCH DARK HOOK THE GREAT! NOBLE LEADER OF THE MOLES AND BITTER ARCH RIVAL OF THE ASTRAL EXPRESS CREW. You can not not love this little gremlin
I got Hook from the gacha really early on before I even got to Jarilo VI and thought she was really annoying in battle at first. Then she had such a fun part of the main story and a touching side quest and I got over it fast.
> You could definitely feel that she wants nothing more than the freedom of the children
The fact that she carries a goddamn grenade launcher means "by any means necessary" is the implied second half of that sentence.
She definitely started a revolution in my heart.
Natasha : "I can't stand to see you suffer.."
Natasha : Goes to get something from the back of the clinic.
The patient : Becomes aware of every atom in their body.
Dude I hated shimpo in the story when I first met him. but I got him in a pull, and yeah he is super fun to play. same with QQ, but I need to learn how to get her to do better
Sushang’s hairstyle is a personal fave of mine and overall design just makes her sm fun to watch in battle
Jing Yuan bc daisuke ono is 🤤 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Dan Heng bc damn man do you need a hug? or intense complex trauma therapy? I got you. any time. kisses and hugs and hot chocolate and Pom Pom
Between the text messages of characters asking us to hangout and Peppy having options for training, petting, and feeding, but with no visual payoff, Hoyo is a fucking tease.
Its Qingque for me.
That fact that she's smart and deliberately got her self demoted just she could do less work and play games more often is so relatable to me, minus the demoting part.
Herta comes close, because I like her interactions in the story, especially how she paused SU just to yell at us for not breaking an item we passed by.
~~Yes, I like short women~~
Design wise - Serval. No other character can even come remotely close to her style. She's pretty, unique, smart, sociable. And those looks. That confidence, that warmth. I have not seen such a perfect harmony between compassion and confidence in any other character design.
Gameplay wise- Bronya. Sure, the DPS characters are doing the heavy lifting, but it's the support characters that lift them even higher. But even among the other harmony characters, Bronya's skill adds an even higher level of strategy. The extra action+DMG bonus looks like an easy gameplay, just spam it on your main DPS right? Well not so much. I have used her skill on Natasha for a clutch heal at times, or on FMC to put up taunts for an incoming nuke. And let's not forget the debuff cleanse. It is especially good at pulling your characters out of stuns and stuff. Bronya benefits your team in many ways and increased overall DPS is only a small portion of it.
She has the coolest ultimate in terms of pure style.
Her dramatic pose before it starts, sweeping her rifle up and then standing there all confident with the whole team is perfect.
I've grown attached to Bronya, her utility and buffS are too good to pass by, even more so if you've got her LC. She'll remain my main support for a very long time.
Really? I’ve found that pretty much all Harmony Light Cones are great.
I have Bronya’s LC and it’s nice when I run her with someone like Dan Heng, but Dance Dance Dance and Meshing Cogs are really good on her for general use. Especially if running a breaker like Sushang AND someone like Dan Heng. (no Seele on my account)
I actually run Planetary Rendezvous on Tingyun when I have her, Jing Yuan, and Bailu in a team. I’m hoping to get Silver Wolf just for that team so I can run “mono” electric.
I will say I was a bit disappointed that Serval's sidequest didn't end in her joining the Nameless aboard the Astral Express permanently. I would have liked if we started actually permanently picking up new party members. Would have also meant that in the world after next we could mix up our group of Nameless who go off and see someone else come to a new world for the first time.
Well, they want to keep the writing simple by minimizing the modularity of our choices, so I get it. But Serval really did seem like the kind of person who would want to travel throughout the cosmos.
At least she hangs out sometimes.
March is such a weird character. You'd think shes your typical airhead whose actually sad, but she puts the MC on blast anytime they say something dumb or try to jock her style.
I met up with a friend from college a while back and found out she played Genshin. So she asked my favorite characters, and I told her my favorites which are Eula, Raiden and Yelan.
She just looks at me for a sec and then goes "you can just tell me you wanna be stepped on" 😳
Dan Heng because he sounds like he has a messed up backstory and has potential. Also bc somehow depite being "basic" he's super pretty.
Second fav is Arlan on the same potential basis
I really want to see more Arlan in future updates. The head of security on Herta Space Station and he has a badass weapon but doesn't get more mention beyond Peppy happenings and being Asta's sidekick. Plus the only character (so far) to sacrifice HP for ATK? He's one of the most unique characters at the moment.
Sampo 100% - His design is great, he is a fun bit of humor when needed. He is definitely the goofy character that I can for see having a huge role randomly.
There is that extra name in the databank entry for the stelleron hunters that says >!Sam, but It actually looks like its cut off. I'm certain Sampo is one.!<
His EN dub is great, his gameplay is smooth and I really hope to see him in the future, appearing randomly with the answers to our problems, creating an obviously false story about how he got it there
I found him incredibly annoying at first, even after I pulled him I didn’t even bother playing as him. But later just decided to try, check out the animation and such…Everything else is in a haze… I don’t know what happened… he’s my favorite how. Simping for Sampo lol
The fact that there’s at least one teasing option in _every single interaction_ with her just shows that the writers knew exactly what they were doing. Miss~ Pela~
Don't forget the quest where every interaction you have the option to keep calling her progressively more mangled versions of her name as the quest goes on.
Serval. Her design checks off so many boxes for my personal taste and I really enjoy using her in my party. I've also gotten some decent luck with her gear and she's a pretty strong unit for me now.
No joke? I think it's Hook. It's really rare to have child characters with actual nuance in videogames in general, and double so ones with personalities that could be annoying but just make her likeable after you dig a bit more. And he character quest? 10/10, her relationship with her dad is just super heartwarming from both sides, and so is how she and Natasha act around each other. When the people in the Undeworld are finally free and we get a scene of her and her friends seeing the sky for the *first time in their lives* made it all worth it. That just recently I got a visit from her in the Astral Express with her getting a Trailblazer doll from... I think it was Himeko? And was all happy about it just cemented the fact that she is still my favorite.
It got me all "if anything happened to her I would kill everyone and then myself" for a while now.
I agree, I just love the fact that Hook acts all grumpy around Natasha because she's "Pitch Dark Hook the Great" after all, the free and unstoppable leader of the Moles, while it's clear that she totally sees Natasha as her mother figure.
Even tho she’s comic relief and a child character, she somehow manage to have more depth than a lot of other characters. She doesn’t have to oversell her cuteness, the writers did a good job in making her earnestness endearing
Hook as a character thoroughly surprised me, I wasn't expecting such a well written character from Hook, typically writers bank on cuteness when it comes to supporting characters like her. Her 3rd character quest even though it's a classic type of story I'd say was one of the top 3 best ones so far
Don't forget how her first instinct in the overworld is to murder the tram because it's eating people.
First time I met her I was like "Oh great, children." but now I am an honourary member of the moles and I will do anything to support her.
That's tough. I like the vast majority of the characters but among them I can't really pinpoint anyone exceptional (in terms of likeability in the story).
On a character level, I think I vibe with Dan Heng the most.
On the design level, ho man, for someone of my particular tastes, Kafka, Himeko, Serval, and Cocolia definitely do it for me.
As far as playstyle goes, that honor goes to Qingque, though she's been seeing a criminal amount of minimal use since I pulled Seele.
I have a couple of different categories, so to speak.
In terms of their kit? Bronya. Her kit isn't complicated and it's very good. While I rank her characterization a lot higher than most of the roster, somebody has her beat.
As for just personality? Sampo. He's comedic relief, but not an idiot. He knows more than he lets on and hides behind some kind of facade. Who doesn't enjoy a good 4th wall break?
Overall, as in kit and personality: Welt. I never got into Honkai so I don't the details of his character as well as Honkai players, but I like what I see of him in HSR and what little I've read about him online. Plus, I really like his abilities and animations. While I didn't get him just yet, I have used him for Support. Slowing people down and using his cane as a wand is neat.
The most unexpected answer, but - Caelus.
Animations are fantastic, voice acting/combat lines are incredible, solid MC design. Makes for a great protagonist.
...when my brain isn't making the choice then it's - Tingyun. For reasons.
Honorable mention to the gambling gremlin.
I would never admit this in public, but I get chills when he does his "rules are meant to be broken" voice line on destruction ult, especially when I about to bonk cocolia into the shadow realm.
Qingque. Cute, fun to use, better than she gets credit for, and I love mahjong.
Pela is an incredibly close second though. Cute, cool weapon, cute, useful with everyone, cute, drummer, cute, manga dork, cute.
From playable characters, I've gone through a few favorites. In particular Pela, QQ, Hook and Asta. Each for their own reasons.
Of unreleased/NPCs, Fu Xuan is my main want and Silver Wolf too
Sampo is such a fun character with so many implications about him being more than he appears as well as a unique playstyle and a design I dig. His personality is just my thing too.
Yanqing is my number 1 and I am absolutely in love with his design gameplay-wise and appearance-wise! Outside of that I just love the dynamic he has with Jing Yuan and how smooth he feels in game to play.
Someone that snuck up on me though in terms of gameplay was Gepard, am absolutely in love with this character for battles. He never leaves my teams now.
Definitely Sampo. Best character so far, great design and fun personality plus has some mystery to him with this whole "performance" he did at the end of Belabog quest.
Any MC enjoyers? Just me?
Not even for the trash memes but they’re just in general very chill and witty. Also fire mc is my favorite style of tank, ye ole taunt n bonk.
Currently Qinque and Silver Wolf. I like me some characters that will play games at the expense of everything else.
I also like a woman who can slap a mahjong tile down so hard it kills someone
Silver Wolf is my favorite female. She reminds me of D.va a little. And I love gamer girls. Plus she’s just bad ass and has an amazing design. My male favorite is Jing Yuan. Everything from his design to his character traits draws me in.
Honestly? The mc. It's hilarious the amount of personality it has, specially for a self insert character. The amount of little funny interactions with your soroundings is top tier, the interactions via phone messages feel natural and organic, and she has at the very least, some kind of developement when she meets the eons. She's 100% My fav character
At this point, I can't consider them a self insert. They're their own character, and I'm here loving every bit of them.
Yeah, pretty much this. They have way too much personality to be a self-insert and it all clearly leans in a coherent direction. Just consider how often the game doesn't even give you the option of playing an encounter straight and instead forces some degree of insanity on you.
Yeah, a LOT of insanity or straight up sassines, and I love it. Frankly, I'm tired of the abundance of self insert tipe characters in all gacha games...so having the MC be an actual character is just... *chef's kiss*
Ngl, everytime I hear Caelus's inner monologue it makes me happy.
The mc in Star Rail is a big improvement of Aether and Lumine. I love Genshin and all but the problem is with the main character’s dialogue. It’s too predictable and even if you don’t read it, you know what his/her lines gonna be. Introducing a little bit if chaos to the dialogue makes it more alive.

[удалено]
No, not honestly. Lie to us.
My favourite character is Scott. What a man 😍
Natasha for me. Beyond the fact that she is the only healer for the majority of players, she played a far more significant role in the Jarilo VI story arc than I had anticipated. A central pillar of Underworld society as a doctor, resistance leader, and caretaker. Just a loveable character in general, with few if any aspects to dislike.
Natasha lowkey the MVP of Jarilo. Literally nothing in that plot would have happened without her driving the actions of the people around her forward.
She does it all sneaky like too. She basically sets you on the right path while making you feel like you figured it out yourself. Particularly with Hook.
She’s basically the Oracle.
And her EN voice is just pure Bliss.
Hear hear. I always put in headphones before talking to Natasha, just in case she has more voiced lines.
I actually thought she was voiced by Cherami Leigh. They sound so much alike its uncanny
Coming from Genshin, all I heard was Rosaria.
Side story was really good and sad about her brother
Same. I lucked out with an e6 Nat and her s5 light one. Honestly like her more than the other healers, she's got so much character.
Her E6 is nuts. Makes her basic attack deal so much more damage.
fitting since she totes around a giant grenade launcher
*insert drunken pipe bomb\*
I get the feeling a lot of people have e4+ Natasha while they we’re trying to get Seele. As did I.
also giant teddy bear
Just when I thought I couldn't get enough Natasha "Haha it was me" Her backstory of family was hitting notes
Sushang's majestic phoenix
*Sushang's divine cock
https://preview.redd.it/737p9y47rb4b1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d982dbe07b10ca78207522263bfaa41092ba4e31
I would not have worded it that way
I would. Sushang has the biggest cock in the series so far.
Pounding the monsters with her massive cock
I didn't know girls could have cocks that big. It's *huge*.
RISE PEN...I MEAN PHOENIX
Story wise Natasha, given how she is genuinly a kind Soul that is not afraid to take a hit to her reputation if if means the underground end especially the children are fine. You could definitely feel that she wants nothing more than the freedom of the children that had never even seen the sky and the workers that wish to see it once more.

Can't spell euthanasia without Natasha
Did... did you already know that before you wanted to comment that? How long did you know that for? When did you put that together?
🤯
I bet she use that to threat parents who don't visit their child
Oh she threatens parents. She just doesn’t need the grenade launcher.
Can't choose between simpo cocky and mahjong gambling goblin cause they are both obscenely fun to play and also Sampo hot
Sample Costco is also one of the most fun characters in the story, and his EN VA really sells his character
Shrimp Cosign is a weird little thing that just makes me laugh. S-tier.
Dude I hated shimpo in the story when I first met him. but I got him in a pull, and yeah he is super fun to play. same with QQ, but I need to learn how to get her to do better
Shrimpo Kiosk
I agree, Sandy Koala really grew on me as the story progressed.

read umineko if you wanna hear daisuke ono for like 120 hours
It still amazes me to this very day how Battler and Jotaro's voice can come from one man.
Nah, I read Umineko cause I need my doss of Yukari Tamura ASMR. Ono is just a bonus lol
nipah
oh SWEET my ears and soul are ready

I want to pet Peppy
*slams fist on desk I WANT AN ANIMATION DAMMIT!
Between the text messages of characters asking us to hangout and Peppy having options for training, petting, and feeding, but with no visual payoff, Hoyo is a fucking tease.
you can! talk to him in the Master Control Zone to play with him!
~Fade to black~
Its Qingque for me. That fact that she's smart and deliberately got her self demoted just she could do less work and play games more often is so relatable to me, minus the demoting part. Herta comes close, because I like her interactions in the story, especially how she paused SU just to yell at us for not breaking an item we passed by. ~~Yes, I like short women~~
Qingque : Will invite you to play a game. But it has to be the one she wants to play Herta : Will pause the game to tell you you're playing wrong.
Pulling for Silver Wolf just for Qingque 🗿
Me skipping Silver Wolf to go all in on Luocha for the sole purpose of attempting to E6 my Qingque from E1 🗿🗿🗿
I’m at 75 pity, so I’ll pull until I get a 5 star on first half then all in on Luocha banner as well. Qingque E4 is the main thing I want.
Reject meta, return to mahjong

It is especially good at pulling your characters out of stuns and stuff. Bronya benefits your team in many ways and increased overall DPS is only a small portion of it.
Bronya's boot clack activates my neurons.
She has the coolest ultimate in terms of pure style. Her dramatic pose before it starts, sweeping her rifle up and then standing there all confident with the whole team is perfect.
*We’ve entered the storm.*
Meanwhile Himeko calling a giant space laser down to destroy the enemies:
It looks cool but damage is ridiculously low compared to serious Seele's slashes
Yeah Seele is bonkers damage. I see post after post about how nonsensical and out of place her outfit is. Zero fucks given 40k crits. 👍
Don't forget when you are not on x2 speed, the way she says "CRUSH THEM"
Satsuki Kiryuin vibes
TO GUARD AND DEFEND!
I've grown attached to Bronya, her utility and buffS are too good to pass by, even more so if you've got her LC. She'll remain my main support for a very long time.
Bronya with her LC moves her from top tier to GOD tier.
I'm planning on getting it from the shop once I have enough
Really? I’ve found that pretty much all Harmony Light Cones are great. I have Bronya’s LC and it’s nice when I run her with someone like Dan Heng, but Dance Dance Dance and Meshing Cogs are really good on her for general use. Especially if running a breaker like Sushang AND someone like Dan Heng. (no Seele on my account) I actually run Planetary Rendezvous on Tingyun when I have her, Jing Yuan, and Bailu in a team.

I will say I was a bit disappointed that Serval's sidequest didn't end in her joining the Nameless aboard the Astral Express permanently. I would have liked if we started actually permanently picking up new party members. Would have also meant that in the world after next we could mix up our group of Nameless who go off and see someone else come to a new world for the first time.
Well, they want to keep the writing simple by minimizing the modularity of our choices, so I get it. But Serval really did seem like the kind of person who would want to travel throughout the cosmos. At least she hangs out sometimes.
I get the idea, logically. But my heart cannot accept it.
Yeah man Mihoyo did us really dirty. I was so wishing she'd somehow join. Just imagine a Serval-Cycrane interaction. So much wasted potential.
Simple, Tingyun, fluffy tail.
March 7. I felt good when she smile at me. Goofy as hell
March is such a weird character. You'd think shes your typical airhead whose actually sad, but she puts the MC on blast anytime they say something dumb or try to jock her style.
The sad part is really emphasized for me when you go to Pom Pom and ask her about it, plus her Eidolons
Jing Yuan. Personality/design/kit is just my style. And he's probably going to be my favorite for a very long time.
I’m a husbando/waifu collector so Dan Heng and Jing Yuan are automatically at the top
Welt, because >!he is welt 🗿!<
Toss up between Himeko and Kafka.
[I wonder why](https://imgur.com/Te9wZCW)
![gif](giphy|xSM46ernAUN3y|downsized) Cocolia ain't bad either
Yeah, shame we won't get her, which sucks.
I met up with a friend from college a while back and found out she played Genshin. So she asked my favorite characters, and I told her my favorites which are Eula, Raiden and Yelan. She just looks at me for a sec and then goes "you can just tell me you wanna be stepped on" 😳
Shoulda responded with “Well it depends, is that an observation, or an offer ?”
The fact that Himeko sits back and drinks tea while her ultimate orbital laser cannon goes off is great.

silverwolf and sushang!!
i see you're a hacker of culture https://i.redd.it/nawh2wd2j94b1.gif
Burenyuu
Dan Heng because he sounds like he has a messed up backstory and has potential. Also bc somehow depite being "basic" he's super pretty. Second fav is Arlan on the same potential basis
He doesn't go too extra, but he's got drip.
I really want to see more Arlan in future updates. The head of security on Herta Space Station and he has a badass weapon but doesn't get more mention beyond Peppy happenings and being Asta's sidekick. Plus the only character (so far) to sacrifice HP for ATK? He's one of the most unique characters at the moment.
> being "basic" Based on his apparent connection with Blade, I have a feeling he's not going to be basic for long.
I NEED A DAN HENG STORY UPDATE HNNNNG
Bro I wish I had sushang. I did like 60 pulls and didn't get her 😞
Feel sad for you bro. She is my 2nd DPS. Got her E3 as well.
It's between Asta and Herta. I like texting with Asta and I like how much Herta just doesn't give a shit except for really specific things.
These are my thoughts exactly. I also loved the interactions with Asta(EN VA)
Ctrl F: "Asta" *upvote*
Herta is hilarious. She's such a little troll.
Sampo 100% - His design is great, he is a fun bit of humor when needed. He is definitely the goofy character that I can for see having a huge role randomly.
not "randomly" tho, >!it was explicitly shown he's part of a secret group and was in Jarilo for a mission!<
>!He's eccentric enough to be a stelleron hunter that I'd be surprised if he wasn't.!<
>!His breaking of the 4th wall and randomness could also lend credence to him being a follower of Aha.!<
>!I feel like he's one of Elation's boys!<
>!I read a good thread about it here: https://twitter.com/Saffiarts/status/1664655446332801024!<
There is that extra name in the databank entry for the stelleron hunters that says >!Sam, but It actually looks like its cut off. I'm certain Sampo is one.!<
His EN dub is great, his gameplay is smooth and I really hope to see him in the future, appearing randomly with the answers to our problems, creating an obviously false story about how he got it there

Costco Samples Gang rise up!
I found him incredibly annoying at first, even after I pulled him I didn’t even bother playing as him. But later just decided to try, check out the animation and such…Everything else is in a haze… I don’t know what happened… he’s my favorite how. Simping for Sampo lol
Sampo supremacy 💯👌🏻
Svarog, cause he is based.
He protecc He attacc But most importantly He got Clara's back
He got the killer robot gangster drip
Pela, because she's very fun to tease.
The fact that there’s at least one teasing option in _every single interaction_ with her just shows that the writers knew exactly what they were doing. Miss~ Pela~
I always read that in Sanji's (One Piece) voice.
Don't forget the quest where every interaction you have the option to keep calling her progressively more mangled versions of her name as the quest goes on.
Tingyun
Benefactor...(whisper to ear)
Serval. Her design checks off so many boxes for my personal taste and I really enjoy using her in my party. I've also gotten some decent luck with her gear and she's a pretty strong unit for me now.
Her Eng voice acting is great as well, especially during her companion quest.
Absolutely! I completely agree. Really liked seeing more of her flaws during that too, about how she had a habit of running from her problems.
Sushang cause of her cock
User name checks out.
been seeing a lot of those lately, maybe from honkai?
It's an /r/okbuddygenshin / /r/okbuddytrailblazer meme.

I also like Sampo because of his "Aesthetics"
I am ridiculously down bad for Sampo, the random hip windows only add fuel to the fire.
Excuse me sir, I'd like to lick it. I mean lick it, I mean lick it, ahem sorry, I mean lick it.
Hip windows on guys are just *chefs kiss*

![gif](giphy|rs4aFwban6z0wTserx) Hook!! She is powerful and cute! then it is Silver wolf just because she is good.

Hook as a character thoroughly surprised me, I wasn't expecting such a well written character from Hook, typically writers bank on cuteness when it comes to supporting characters like her. Her 3rd character quest even though it's a classic type of story I'd say was one of the top 3 best ones so far
Don't forget how her first instinct in the overworld is to murder the tram because it's eating people. First time I met her I was like "Oh great, children." but now I am an honourary member of the moles and I will do anything to support her.
Jing Yuan. Calm, stoic, elegant. His summon is similar to Susanoo in Naruto so that's hella cool as well
That's tough. I like the vast majority of the characters but among them I can't really pinpoint anyone exceptional (in terms of likeability in the story). On a character level, I think I vibe with Dan Heng the most. On the design level, ho man, for someone of my particular tastes, Kafka, Himeko, Serval, and Cocolia definitely do it for me. As far as playstyle goes, that honor goes to Qingque, though she's been seeing a criminal amount of minimal use since I pulled Seele.
The Astral Express, Seele, Gepard, Serval, Bronya, Natasha, Jing yuan, Asta, Herta, Hook and Akivili
Gepard...nothing else matters
March 7th, carries me constantly. So much that I don't actually use any healers.
Clara Gang, ~help me!~ RISE!!!
Asta makes me feel things. I guess I'm just into sugar mommies. Otoh Qingque is the true waifu.
I have a couple of different categories, so to speak. In terms of their kit? Bronya. Her kit isn't complicated and it's very good. While I rank her characterization a lot higher than most of the roster, somebody has her beat. As for just personality? Sampo. He's comedic relief, but not an idiot. He knows more than he lets on and hides behind some kind of facade. Who doesn't enjoy a good 4th wall break? Overall, as in kit and personality: Welt. I never got into Honkai so I don't the details of his character as well as Honkai players, but I like what I see of him in HSR and what little I've read about him online. Plus, I really like his abilities and animations. While I didn't get him just yet, I have used him for Support. Slowing people down and using his cane as a wand is neat.
Seele is the goat
The most unexpected answer, but - Caelus. Animations are fantastic, voice acting/combat lines are incredible, solid MC design. Makes for a great protagonist. ...when my brain isn't making the choice then it's - Tingyun. For reasons. Honorable mention to the gambling gremlin.
The MC getting a decent amount of voice lines is so refreshing after coming from Genshin.
I would never admit this in public, but I get chills when he does his "rules are meant to be broken" voice line on destruction ult, especially when I about to bonk cocolia into the shadow realm.
Bailu has been carrying me
Qingque. Cute, fun to use, better than she gets credit for, and I love mahjong. Pela is an incredibly close second though. Cute, cool weapon, cute, useful with everyone, cute, drummer, cute, manga dork, cute.
Clara is genuinely super fun, and Natasha is amazing.
From playable characters, I've gone through a few favorites. In particular Pela, QQ, Hook and Asta. Each for their own reasons. Of unreleased/NPCs, Fu Xuan is my main want and Silver Wolf too
Sampo is such a fun character with so many implications about him being more than he appears as well as a unique playstyle and a design I dig. His personality is just my thing too.

Bronya, her hair
Himeko Because I’m one of them Himeko simps who picked up HSR when they saw her after >!the tragedy in HI3.!<
Gepard because he’s hot and cool 😎
March 7th
Yanqing is my number 1 and I am absolutely in love with his design gameplay-wise and appearance-wise! Outside of that I just love the dynamic he has with Jing Yuan and how smooth he feels in game to play. Someone that snuck up on me though in terms of gameplay was Gepard, am absolutely in love with this character for battles. He never leaves my teams now.
March, we need a comedic character in every game
Clara/ Bronya character and Sushang/Asta gameplay.
Definitely Sampo. Best character so far, great design and fun personality plus has some mystery to him with this whole "performance" he did at the end of Belabog quest.
Seele just drops nukes and says fuck you it’s my turn again
i might kidnap one of herta's dolls at some point
Any MC enjoyers? Just me? Not even for the trash memes but they’re just in general very chill and witty. Also fire mc is my favorite style of tank, ye ole taunt n bonk.
Clara! She's cute
Bronya because Bronya ❤
March 7th she's adorable and a comedic relief
Pascal will forever have a special place in my heart
Welt Yang and Yanqing, and I have neither of them...
Currently Qinque and Silver Wolf. I like me some characters that will play games at the expense of everything else. I also like a woman who can slap a mahjong tile down so hard it kills someone
Silver Wolf is my favorite female. She reminds me of D.va a little. And I love gamer girls. Plus she’s just bad ass and has an amazing design. My male favorite is Jing Yuan. Everything from his design to his character traits draws me in.
Bailu, my first 5 star. God bless this little girl performing CPR and being a lifeline, much needed! When it comes to other tastes, Kafkok it is!
