There are only three Quantum characters in Honkai Star Rail, but all of them range from great to top-tier. This article will include a simple tier list to help visualize how useful each unit is within this Type in Version 1.1. Future patches may help indirectly buff or nerf the characters listed here, affecting their relevance in the meta, but such changes won’t be reflected here.
Likewise, any future units with this Type won’t be listed here. Seele, Silver Wolf, and Qingque are the three characters to discuss in the next section of this guide. All three can help a player get through the main story, but their position in the current metagame will differ based on their unique attributes.
Tier list for Quantum characters in Honkai Star Rail 1.1
There is debate about whether one puts Seele on top or Silver Wolf. Either way, the current meta favors both units incredibly well, so placing them at the top is fair. By comparison, Qingque is a decent F2P filler who relies on luck and isn’t as consistent to use as Seele as a DPS unit.
Why Seele is top tier
Several qualities make Seele top-tier:
- She receives an extra turn when KOing foes
- Amazing single-target damage
- Her kit works well when fighting multiple foes, partially due to the extra turn mechanic
- Quantum RES PEN is a useful stat to have for a Hunt unit
- Very fast, partially due to her Skill
- Has self-damage buffs in her kit
There aren’t many Quantum characters in Honkai Star Rail, so your options for a top-tier damage unit with this Type are limited. It is worth noting that Seele is still amazing even when compared to units of other Types in this game.
Why Silver Wolf is also top tier
Silver Wolf is fantastic for reasons completely different than Seele in Honkai Star Rail. Here are some examples of why Silver Wolf is great:
- She easily applies Weakness to a foe
- Generic All-Type RES is always useful
- Decreasing a foe’s DEF by 36~49.5% for three turns via an Ultimate is great
- She can even debuff an enemy’s ATK, DEF, and SPD via her Bugs
- Solid damage in her own right
Unless another Quantum debuffer on par with Silver Wolf is released in the future, it’s hard to see this character ever being considered one of the weaker options of her Type.
Why Qingque is the weakest Quantum character
The final Honkai Star Rail character to discuss is Qingque. She’s sold in her own right, but she’s nowhere near as consistent or meta-defining as her 5-star Quantum counterparts. Here are Qingque’s advantages in Honkai Star Rail:
- Very easy to get for a F2P player
- Strong damage, albeit a bit inconsistent at times due to her luck-based mechanic
- Easy to get Eidolons of due to being a 4-star
- Self-sufficient
That’s the end of this brief tier list discussion since no other currently playable characters use this Type.
