Pull Rating: 8/10. A Powerful Elation Enabler and DPS Option.

Sparxie’s skill kit and abilities make her a very potent Elation character that can supply the team with a massive amount of Punchlines, helping to optimize the damage output of any Elation teams that utilize Punchlines. This, coupled with her own skill kit and damage output being reliant on Punchline stacks, makes Sparxie a very good Elation team enabler and Sub DPS/ Main DPS character.

This makes him a very crucial character that players should have for many different team comps in the game.

Evernight

Evernight is a 5-Star Character of the Ice Element and Remembrance Path. She specializes in dealing massive amounts of HP-based damage to enemies after consuming a large portion of her HP to set up.

Evernight’s main gimmick and damage lies in her ability to stack her special Memosprite stacks, which can be gained whenever she consumes her own HP to use her Skill.

Upon using her Ultimate, Evernight will strengthen her Memosprite, allowing it to deal even more damage to enemies.

Honkai Star Rail 4.4 2nd Phase Banners – Who To Roll For

The second phase of the 4.4 Update Patch for Honkai Star Rail will also last for 21 days, starting from the end of the first phase banners and lasting until the end of the update patch. This phase features 3 featured banners, with the return of 3 old characters: the 5-Star Wind Harmony Character Cerydra, the 5-Star Imaginary Preservation Character Aventurine and the 5-Star Wind Erudition Character Anaxa.

Cerydra

Cerydra is a Wind Element Character following the path of the Harmony. She specializes in boosting the attack of a single ally’s Skill damage output, granting them special effects that duplicate their skill usage and can even supplement the team’s damage by being a sub DPS character herself with her talent.

Cerydra’s main support gimmick lies in her Skill, which grants 1 ally on the field the special Military Merit buff, which have the maximum of 8 charges, with Cerydra gaining 1 charge for every Normal Attack and Skill used by the ally with Military Merit. When the amount of charges reaches 6, the ally will be granted the Coup de Main effect. Coup de Main duplicates and triggers a skill used by buffed ally, essentially works as a 2nd skill used back to back when the ally uses their skill. Please note that Coup de Main’s skill duplicate effect takes action before the character’s actual skill use and will retain every single buffed effect that the skill uses. She also grants the ally a speed increase and energy regen when they act.

Pull Rating: 7/10. A Powerful But Relatively Niche Support Character.

Cerydra’s gimmick and buffs makes her a very decently powerful support character for any Skill-Damage based teams. However, with how few Skill Damage DPS being able to take full advantage of her Skill buff and Skill reuse effect, Cerydra is relatively niche in usage when compared to other Harmony support characters.

Aventurine

Aventurine is a 5-Star Character of the Imaginary Element and Preservation Path. He specializes in constantly providing shields to the entire team and dealing follow up attacks to enemies upon enemies hitting his shield enough times.

Aventurine’s main gimmick is simply to provide massive stackable shields to the entire team, allowing him to protect the team. Whenever enemies attack allies shielded by him, Aventurine will gain stacks of his passive, which can allow him to deal AoE Follow Up Attack to enemies when the stack reaches max. Upon using his Ultimate, Aventurine will deal a big instance of Imaginary damage to an enemy and inflict a debuff onto them, making them take more Critical damage by the team.

Pull Rating: 6/10 For General Use. 7/10 For Follow Up Teams

Aventurine used to be one of the game’s most powerful sustain characters. However, in recent meta, his usability has decreased overall due to the fact that he doesn’t provide enough utility or damage to the team, with Dan Heng Permansor Terrae filling the same role as him but with better buffs. Unless players really like him, it is not recommended to roll for Aventurine in the current meta.

Anaxa

Anaxa is a 5-Star Character of the Wind Element and Erudition Path. He specializes in dealing constant AoE Damage to all enemies and applying Elemental Weaknesses to enemies.

Anaxa’s main gimmick lies in his Skill, which allows him to deal damage to all enemies and apply 1 temporary Weakness to all enemies. When an enemy has 5 or more elemental weaknesses, Anaxa will deal an additional instance of Skill damage whenever he uses his Skill on them. Upon using his Ultimate, Anaxa will deal AoE damage to all enemies, making them unable to move for 1 action and apply a state where they will be considered as having all elemental weaknesses.

Pull Rating: 8/10 A Decent AoE DPS Character.

Anaxa’s damage output and his ability to apply weaknesses to enemies make him a relatively unique character to have, with him being used in many different team comps as either a sub or a main DPS depending on the team comp. If players want to invest in a decently good Erudition character that can buff other Erudition characters, rolling for him is recommended.
