The meta of Honkai: Star Rail shifts quickly compared to the state at release. For instance, Seele was an insane single-target DPS, and Jing Yuan was a top-tier AoE DPS. However, the meta soon changed with the release of powerful Destruction characters such as Blade, Jingliu, and Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae. Later on, it keeps shifting to comp such as the follow-up attack meta, especially with the release of units like Dr. Ratio, Robin, and Feixiao.
