All Honkai Star Rail Fire characters: Asta, Himeko, more

Fire characters will bring the heat to any battle in Honkai Star Rail with their single-target and AoE attacks, enabling players to melt through enemy health bars. Here are all the current and upcoming Fire characters available in the game.

Like Lightning characters, Honkai Star Rail’s Fire wielders can deal extremely high damage in combat. This makes them a perfect DPS option for anyone looking to bolster their team comps with some devastating attackers.

If you want to add a Fire unit to your team in Honkai Star Rail or just want to know how many there are in the game, here’s a full rundown to help make your decision easier.

Asta

• Rarity: 4-star
• Path: The Harmony

Asta is the lead Researcher of Herta Space Station. She’s a fiercely inquisitive and energetic young girl who manages opinionated staff and deals with the Intelligentsia Guild. 

As a follower of The Harmony Path, Asta excels at providing buffs to her teammates. Her Ultimate can increase the speed of all of her allies. Additionally, Asta gains charging stacks whenever she hits enemies, which increases your entire team’s attack based on the number of damaged enemies.

Firefly

HoYoverse

• Rarity: 5-star
• Path: The Destruction

Firefly is a 5-star character on the Path of The Destruction who is useful in dealing Break DMG by activating her Complete Combustion state. Like other Destruction characters, Firefly’s attacks lower her HP, but she can recover some of her health during Complete Combustion.

Firefly can easily deal Break DMG, considering her Ultimate can apply Fire weaknesses to enemies. We highly recommend pulling for Firefly to add an amazing DPS unit to your roster.

Gallagher

• Rarity: 4-star
• Path: The Abundance

Gallagher is a 4-star character whose kit revolves around healing teammates after attacking debuffed enemies. He can also reduce opponents’ ATK by using his Enhanced Basic ATK. However, Gallagher doesn’t become viable until you pull his second Eidolon.

If you’re in need of another healing character, we suggest pulling for Gallagher. But there are far better Abundance units in Honkai Star Rail.

Guinaifen

HoYoverse

• Rarity: 4-star
• Path: The Nihility

Guinaifen specializes in dealing Burn DoT to multiple enemies. She can also increase the damage taken by enemies who are inflicted with Burn. Guinaifen is a great character to have on DoT teams alongside units like Kafka and Ruan Mei.

Himeko

• Rarity: 5-star 
• Path: The Erudition

Himeko will be instantly recognizable to Honkai Impact fans, but unlike her previous appearance, this version is an adventurous scientist. She ventures across the universe with her train, the Astral Express. As a well-traveled explorer, Himeko has experience fighting off those who wish to do her harm. 

Equipped with deadly Fire abilities, the intergalactic explorer can make short work of those weak to flames. Her Skill Attack deals Fire damage equal to 100%-250% of Himeko’s ATK to a single enemy and Fire DMG equal to 40%-100% of Himeko’s ATK to any adjacent enemies. 

If that wasn’t enough, Himeko’s ultimate deals Fire damage to all enemies on the battlefield and regenerates 10 Energy for each enemy defeated.

Hook

• Rarity: 4-star 
• Path: The Destruction

Hook is the boss of The Moles adventure squad – a group of friends in Belobog’s Underworld. Her Path is known as The Destruction, which means she excels at attacking from the front of a group and makes a good DPS unit. 

Her Ultimate will enhance the next skill she uses into a powerful AoE attack. Hook can also inflict Burn on enemies and when burnt enemies are attacked, she will regenerate energy and deal additional damage.

Jiaoqiu

HoYoverse

• Rarity: 5-star
• Path: The Nihility

Jiaoqiu is an upcoming character who will likely be released during the second phase of the version 2.4 update. Honkai Star Rail’s Version 2.4 will be launched on August 21, 2024. We will update this article once we learn any official information regarding Jiaoqiu’s kit.

Lingsha

• Rarity: 5-star
• Path: The Abundance

Lingsha is another upcoming Fire character who will likely be launched during the second phase of Version 2.5 on October 2, 2024. At the time of writing, no official information is available regarding Lingsha’s kit.

Trailblazer (Fire)

HoYoverse

• Rarity: 5-star
• Path: The Preservation

One surprise addition to the character roster players discovered when Honkai Star Rail launched was a Fire version of the main protagonist that could be obtained simply by playing through the main story.

Once you reach Lv. 24 in the game, you’ll be able to access The Return Quest and once this is complete you’ll have the ability to change your Trailblazer’s Path from Physical to Fire. The Fire version of the character is a fantastic support option in any team comp, thanks to its damage reduction skill and full team shield abilities.

Topaz

• Rarity: 5-star
• Path: The Hunt

Topaz is the  Senior Manager of the Strategic Investment Department in the Interastral Peace Corporation, and also the leader of the Special Debts pickup team.

Topaz is an excellent sub-DPS who specializes in dealing single-target damage through follow-up attacks. She can also increase the strength of the entire party’s follow-up attacks. Topaz is not only a great character to have in battle, but her Trotter can help players locate treasure.
