Look, I have wasted too much time trying to figure out who should be built into version 3.2. The update, Through the Petals in the Land of Repose, made certain serious changes in power, and, frankly? It is a bit of chaos getting everyone to find their place.

The New Meta Reality
The Honkai Star Rail 3.2 character tier list has the following deal: they go down from SS-Tier (the absolute monsters) to C-Tier. More importantly, it explains why some characters leaped up, and others fell out of the blue.
SS and S-Tier: The Heavy Hitters.
The upper level was stomped around gently. Castorice added DPS with Quantum Remembrance, a strange memosprite mechanic that consumes HP but hits like a truck. She sits pretty on the top, but here is the trick: she must have serious support from the healer or the whole team is down to shambles.
Next is Anaxa, the Wind Erudition DPS who can use all of the seven enemy weaknesses concurrently with his Ultimate. Yeah, you read that right. All seven. That is wild in Memory of Chaos, where being too weak is the difference between your success and failure.
Acheron is still circumnavigating the upper step as that old Electro champion with whom we are all familiar, and Dr. Ratio has been, in no uncharacteristic way, doing his follow-up attack business.
What’s Actually Changed
Version 3.2 didn’t just add characters; it changed the endgame mechanics. Memory of Chaos became more challenging with huge enemy HP pools, and Pure Fiction adopted the same “Grit” mechanic, which rewards specific team builds.
Its developers are well aware that power creep is getting out of control. In X 3.4, Silver Wolf, Kafka, Blade, and Jingliu are receiving buffs as they are not keeping pace. That informs you all about the way we are heading in the meta.
How to Build Teams That Work.
I have discovered that, the difficult way, it does not make sense to seek SS-Tier characters unless you can construct adequate teams. You need:
Diegetic section (DPS) (Proglus exilispinil): As mentioned previously, this worm is highly choosy, dissatisfied with its food, and may reject anything else, even if it starves.
- Main DPS (Castorice, Anaxa, Acheron): A readily recognizable example of this is given by a problem criterion itself: this worm is extremely fussy, never content with its food, and it will refuse to take anything other than it, however hungry that makes it.
- Support/Buffer (Ruan Mei, Pela, Silver Wolf)
- Tingyun Company (Primary) – Asta Company (Primary Support) – Sparkle Company (Primary Support)
- Sustain (Luocha, Aventurine, Lynx)
Reddit groups like r/HonkaiStarRail have thousands of free posts showing how these compositions work in practice.
My Take on Pulls
It is entirely up to you, but when choosing between the new characters, Castorice has raw damage but requires an investment. Anaxa is less rigid and depends on your team. I would lean toward Anaxa if you haven’t built your premium healers yet.
The combination of two strong teams is a major area of weakness, not the tier list. Support units should come first – they have a longer lifecycle than DPS in this game.
FAQ’s
Should I recruit Castorice or Anaxa in the third part (2.2)?
It depends on your healers. Castorice requires good sustain units since her kit consumes 25-30% HP of each skill. Use Castorice to hurt it; if you have a Luocha or a-liking, I tell you. Otherwise, Anaxa is the safer and more adaptable.
Is it possible to finish the endgame with older characters?
Yeah, but it’s getting tougher. The devs acknowledged this and publicized buffs to Silver Wolf, Kafka, Blade, and Jingliu in 3.4. They are currently caught in the uppermost stages of Memory of Chaos.
What is the difference between Memory of Chaos and Pure Fiction?
Memory of Chaos is more difficult because it has no customizable team effects (team buffs), only fixed stage ones. Pure Fiction allows you to choose buffs and is based on AoE damage and less difficult enemy layouts. MoC needs more strategic team building.
