Argenti just made his debut on 6/12/2023 in Honkai: Star Rail. Players expect this knight to become a boss, but some remain skeptical about his power. Is Argenti as formidable as rumored?
Argenti is a handsome character of the Physical type, with the destiny of Knowledge and the Aeon worshipped as the “Pure Beauty” Idrila. This intriguing fact reveals that he's not only handsome but also very knowledgeable. The power of this beautiful knight is quite special and considered stronger than an ordinary Knowledge type. So, what is the most suitable F2P lineup for this character?

Argenti
Of course, the first slot for this F2P lineup must be Argenti, who serves as the main DPS in the team. The combat skills of this handsome knight are not particularly remarkable as they deal damage proportionate to the normal attack's damage coefficient. However, his ultimate is quite special, with two energy consumption levels of 90 and 180.
At 90 energy, it only deals about 160% physical damage, slightly more than normal attacks and about 40% of the ultimate's damage, but the second level deals 280% AoE damage and 850% to a single enemy. It can be said that Argenti's skill set is quite similar to Jingyuan's, capable of dealing AoE damage and massive single-target damage in Honkai: Star Rail.
Serval
Serval also plays the role of a DPS in this lineup, belonging to the Lightning element and following a Knowledge destiny similar to Argenti. She maintains stable damage throughout the battle and can be obtained early in the game.
Serval's skill set applies a lot of Electric Shock effects to all enemies, which can carry you through many levels, including the Hall of Challenges or Simulation Space in Honkai: Star Rail. If players are fortunate enough to have Clara, Welt, Bronya when performing the Novice Jump, consider replacing Serval with these characters for better effectiveness.
March 7th
In this lineup, March 7th, known as 'Big Sis,' takes on the role of a shielder, safeguarding Argenti from getting 'knocked out' during gameplay.
Equipping March 7th in the team brings the advantage of providing substantial shields and buffs for the main DPS, secondary DPS, or Clara, as previously mentioned. When allied shields are attacked, March 7th follows up with a potentially freezing strike on the enemies. The remaining skills simply freeze, allowing players to overlook upgrading March 7th's ultimate and normal attacks in Honkai: Star Rail.
Natasha
In the last slot, rookies of Honkai: Star Rail should opt for a healer as reliable as Natasha. This nurse possesses the Physical element, following the Yaoshi - Prosperity destiny to help the team survive longer.
Natasha can heal thanks to her skills and ultimate, Gift of Rebirth. Her strength lies in the ability to increase healing by 25% for characters with HP below 35% and provide shields when using skills, making her a trusted member in every lineup in Honkai: Star Rail.
Strengths and Weaknesses of the Argenti F2P Team
In terms of strengths, this lineup boasts a massive damage output with Argenti leading the DPS charge, potentially breezing through upcoming challenges, as this mode may offer beneficial buffs for him. The second strength lies in having two top-tier shielders in Honkai: Star Rail, turning Argenti into an unstoppable beast in battles and overcoming worlds filled with annoying impairments like 5 and 7 extremely well.
On the other hand, this lineup can only counter a certain number of enemies as it relies solely on Physical (or Lightning) DPS to address the main weakness. So, when facing beefy yet hard-to-counter foes, the lineup may quickly collapse or take up to tens of minutes to complete. You need to be flexible in replacing with 4 or 5-star characters with suitable elements!
