In the world of gacha games, we’re always asking ourselves if the next new character is worth pulling for, which applies to Huohuo in Honkai: Star Rail. Introduced in version 1.5, Huohuo is a 5-star character who brings many things to the table, from a fantastic healing output to some of the best buffing skills in the game. However, HoYoverse always brings new characters who dazzle us with their looks and skills. So, should you spend all your hard-earned Stellar Jade on this judge-in-training or skip her?
Is Huohuo Good in Honkai: Star Rail?
(Updated on August 13, 2024 – updated links and format)
Short answer: yes. Huohuo is a must-pull for any player who wants a healer. Given the lack of Abundance characters in the game, you have limited choices when it comes to building a good team composition. Bailu and Natasha aren’t doing so hot, and many skipped Luocha, meaning the only options are Lynx and Huohuo. The latter is perfect since she has many coveted skills in the game. She’s able to increase everyone’s attack, regenerate their energy, and cleanse, and her outgoing healing is great. Overall, Huohuo is a character everyone should have if they lack any healers or want a character from the Path of Abundance with more gimmicks.
Furthermore, Huohuo performs great in almost every team. While she shines more next to characters with powerful ultimate, she’s also great at every piece of content in Honkai: Star Rail. She can do wonders in the Simulated Universe, something we already tried. And she can be a fantastic addition to some Memory of Chaos stages.
Ultimately, the choice is yours; however, we encourage you to consider pulling for her. She’s easy to build, at least compared to other characters, and is a healer who will be future-proof for a while. So, if you have the currency, it’s worth pulling for Huohuo whenever she gets her banner in Honkai: Star Rail; you won’t regret it.
