Top preferred characters
Discover the top 10 most frequently used characters in the first Chaotic Memories cycle of Honkai: Star Rail 1.6. A fascinating trend emerges: 8 out of 10 characters are supports, with only 2 DPS making the cut. Here's the specific list ranked from highest to lowest:
- Bronya
- Fu Xuan
- Ruan Mei
- Tingyun
- Jingliu
- Pela
- Luocha
- Silver Wolf
- Seele
- Huohuo

Notably, Tingyun's presence in this list underscores her invaluable support abilities, providing buffs and recharges for teammates. Pela, in particular, may be bolstered by Jingliu as they form a reliable duo trusted by players when facing enemies with Ice weaknesses.
Commonly Used Team Compositions
Given the prevalence of Ice-weak enemies on floor 12, Honkai: Star Rail players continue to rely on Jingliu – the current top DPS character with high damage output and multi-target attacks. However, with Silver Wolf recently featured in the previous banner, mono Quantum teams unexpectedly shine, bringing Seele back into the top 10.

Overall, players' team compositions for clearing floor 12 of Chaotic Memories remain variations of familiar frameworks. The most significant change is the emergence of Ruan Mei to replace older support characters.
Upper Half- Huohuo / Luocha, Am Nguyet, Tingyun, Yukong
- Silver Wolf, Bronya / Tingyun, Seele, Fu Xuan
- Bronya, Luocha, Blade, Pela
- Ruan Mei / Tingyun / Bronya, Silver Wolf, Seele, Fu Xuan
- Bronya, Jingliu, Huohuo / Luocha, Ruan Mei / Pela
With enemies on floor 12 reaching level 95 and significantly tougher compared to the old level 10 (except for unchanged resistance stats), players will want 5-star DPS characters with higher stats rather than 4-star DPS. Names like Dan Heng (usually), Qingque, Sushang are completely absent from the most favored team compositions, while Yanqing remains at the bottom tier due to his clumsy skill set.

Conclusion
This marks the first Chaotic Memories cycle where floors 11 and 12 debut with new challenges and rewards. However, the meta of Honkai: Star Rail will soon undergo a split as the Fantasy Storytelling feature officially launches in about 10 days. Until then, top support characters will maintain their positions, with only the DPS role changing. Let's see which teams Honkai: Star Rail players will use to conquer this new challenge in the future!
