With the increase of limited 5-star characters, many new players have joined Honkai: Star Rail. Of course, beginners inevitably face a challenging early-game phase! Today, let's explore the most worthwhile 4-star characters for new players to invest in during Version 3.4.

1. Honkai: Star Rail - The Hunt "March 7th"

New players can unlock the Xianzhou-origin The Hunt "March 7th" for free after completing event quests. The Hunt "March 7th" excels in many teams, especially in Feixiao's follow-up attack squads. She can be unlocked at E6 (max Eidolon) via events. Using her Skill boosts the "Master"s' SPD.

While fitting into team compositions, March 7th also possesses follow-up attack and Skill Point generation capabilities. She provides additional DMG or extra Toughness reduction based on the "Master"s' element. If early-game DMG output and support are insufficient, she can serve as a sub-DPS to supplement team DMG.

Recommended Teammates: Feixiao, Yunli

2. Honkai: Star Rail - Natasha

Although Natasha is a launch 4-star healer, she remains effective as a transitional pick. She offers decent crowd control and cleanse capabilities, making her a reliable choice. After Phainon's release, Natasha can also function as an energy battery for Phainon.

Recommended Teammates: Phainon, Castorice, Mydei

3. Honkai: Star Rail - Lynx

As a low-cost obtainable 4-star healer, the requirements for Preservation characters are less stringent. Because Preservation roles in most scenarios need to prevent sudden character deaths, 4-star Preservation characters struggle to achieve this due to limited stat scaling. For sufficiently durable characters, 4-star healers are adequate. Lynx additionally possesses a mechanic for increasing the chance of being targeted. New players can use her as a transitional unit.

Recommended Teammates: Phainon, Castorice, Mydei

4. Honkai: Star Rail - Asta

As a guaranteed first-wish character for beginners, Asta has high early-game investment priority. Her SPD boost is highly versatile. By contrast, Tingyun is picky with teammates, while Asta can serve as a transitional support in nearly any scenario.

Recommended Teammates: Kafka, Aglaea, Anaxa

5. Honkai: Star Rail - Hanya

As an often overlooked 4-star Harmony support, Hanya’s overall strength is remarkable among 4-star Harmony units. She provides Skill Point generation, SPD boosts, and DMG amplification with low operational difficulty. If lacking 5-star Harmony options early on, Hanya is your optimal choice!

Recommended Teammates: Phainon, Big Black Tower, Anaxa

6. Honkai: Star Rail - Herta

As a launch 4-star DPS character, ranking in the top four is remarkable. Another highly recommended reason to invest is that Herta can genuinely help you secure tangible Stellar Jade as a low-budget countermeasure in Simulated Universe. While she may not provide team-wide buffs or DMG amplification like other supports, building Herta is definitely worthwhile if you lack a dedicated Simulated Universe team.

Recommended Teammates: The Herta, Jade

7. Honkai: Star Rail - Tingyun

Tingyun, hailed as an early "four-star powerhouse," has experienced a second wind since Phainon's release, offering substantial utility. Her Ultimate aids teammate energy regeneration, while she provides DMG amplification and bonus DMG for the main DPS. Currently, she remains highly versatile and worth investing in.

Recommended Teammates: Phainon, Anaxa, Yunli

8. Honkai: Star Rail - Pela

With a suitable Light Cone, Pela achieves high-coverage AoE DEF reduction. She excels in multi-target scenarios, rivaling even 5-star characters. Paired with high-speed Wind sets, she delivers exceptional support across various content. Especially for Acheron teams, her high-frequency debuff application makes her the most practical 4-star Nihility teammate.

Recommended Teammates: Acheron, Castorice, Mydei

9. Honkai: Star Rail - Gallagher

If you lack a 5-star sustain unit but possess Gallagher, you can confidently entrust your team's survival to him. His powerful Skill Point generation, high-frequency Toughness reduction, cleanse capabilities, and team-wide healing allow Gallagher to flexibly fit into multiple squads. He has dominated tier lists for a year as an overpowered 4-star character.

Recommended Teammates: Castorice, Firefly, Anaxa

The above concludes the nine recommended 4-star characters, ranked from first to ninth (bottom to top). This guide will undoubtedly make your investment planning and early-game transition smoother! Don't forget to follow us for more articles and Honkai: Star Rail merchandises on our site.
