As the first featured and limited 5-star character in Honkai: Star Rail, Seele is a huge boost to anyoneโs Honkai: Star Rail roster. As a DPS hypercarry, you could even say that Seele has a lot resting on her shoulders, even in the most powerful Seel team compositions.
And how does she perform? Well, letโs just say that Seele made this turn-based game based only on her turns. Her whole kit and schtick revolve around attacking multiple times until no enemy is left standing. So while sheโs a single-target DPS, she gives multi-target DPS characters a run for their Credits.
For your Seele to perform like this, youโre going to need some specialized teams, especially past Equilibrium 3 or 4. Try out these teams if you have them.
Seele – Bronya – Tingyun – Natasha/Bailu
Often regarded as the best Seele team, this composition is all about funneling their efforts into ensuring that Seeleโ and usually only Seele, gets to attack until the enemies are sliced up into leveling materials. And of course, why would you want to separate Seele from her waifu, Bronya?
The whole team plays into Seeleโs strengths, letting her attack multiple times each turn and then letting her have another turn, all with nigh-unlimited Ultimate casts.
To ensure that the team performs optimally, however, you will have to follow an ideal attack sequence along with ensuring that characters are well-built, especially Seele.
Turn 1 ideal sequence (assuming the enemy doesnโt interfere and all Ultimates are ready):
- Use Bronyaโs Ultimate on Seele.
- Use Tingyunโs Skill on Seele (if she goes earlier than Seele, otherwise, never mind).
- Either use Seeleโs Skill to kill a weak enemy or use her Ultimate if youโre unsure whether the Skill could kill an enemy in one turn. The point here is to kill a weak enemy in one turn to trigger Seeleโs talent, allowing her to attack again.
- Feel free to spend Seeleโs two (more or less) free attacks on any enemy or the boss.
- Use Tingyunโs Ultimate and Skill (if available) on Seele.
- Use Bronyaโs Skill on Seele.
- Seeleโs turn again thanks to Bronyaโs Skill. If she doesnโt have full Energy, attack with her Basic or her Skill to generate Energy. Use Seeleโs Ultimate to generate Energy. If a weak enemy is present, kill them to give Seele another attack.
- Generate Energy for characters using Basic/Skill and try to repeat step 1 again.
- Use Natashaโs Skill or Bailu to cleanse crowd-control or status effects from your character and to heal the team if necessary.
The gist of the team is to keep letting Seele attack by killing weak enemies and then letting Bronyaโs Skill give her a turn again while also topping Seeleโs energy using Tingyunโs Ultimate. Bronyaโs Ultimate and Tingyunโs Skill are there to buff Seeleโs attacks.
Seele – Trailblazer (Fire) – Tingyun – Natasha
Sadly, we canโt all be blessed with Bronya, so sometimes, youโll have to settle for a budget team. This is the budget alternative to the team above. Tingyun is easy enough to obtain in โ Warp events, while male or female Trailblazer and Natasha are given for free.
Seele wonโt be taking too many turns here, sadly. But the Trailblazer can soak up damage in case the enemy gets to attack.
Turn 1 ideal sequence (assuming the enemy doesnโt interfere and all Ultimates are ready):
- Use Trailblazerโs (Fire) Ultimate.
- Use Tingyunโs Skill on Seele (if she goes first, otherwise, proceed).
- Either use Seeleโs Skill to kill a weak enemy or use her Ultimate if youโre unsure whether the Skill could kill an enemy in one turn. The point here is to kill a weak enemy in one turn to trigger Seeleโs talent, allowing her to attack again.
- Feel free to spend Seeleโs two (more or less) free attacks on any enemy or the boss.
- Use Tingyunโs Ultimate and Skill (if available) on Seele.
- Use Trailblazerโs (Fire) Skill to taunt enemies.
- Generate Energy for characters using Basic/Skill and try to repeat step 1 again.
- Use Natashaโs Skill to cleanse crowd-control or status effects from your character and to heal the team if necessary.
Seele can still end fights here with enemy groups in one turn though that depends on how wise you choose her targets. Hopefully, all enemies will attack only Trailblazer (Fire), keeping the rest of the team focused on damage and supporting Seele.
Seele – Pela – Asta – Natasha/Bailu
This Seele team composition emphasizes ATK and damage buffs and ensures that Seele can deal her highest damage as possible. Pela and Asta are there to reduce enemy DEF and buff Seeleโs damage and speed, respectively.
Turn 1 ideal sequence (assuming the enemy doesnโt interfere and all Ultimates are ready):
- Use Pelaโs Ultimate.
- Use Astaโs Ultimate.
- If possible, use Astaโs Skill (assuming sheโs going first than Seele).
- Either use Seeleโs Skill to kill a weak enemy or use her Ultimate if youโre unsure whether the Skill could kill an enemy in one turn. The point here is to kill a weak enemy in one turn to trigger Seeleโs talent, allowing her to attack again.
- Feel free to spend Seeleโs two (more or less) free attacks on any enemy or the boss.
- Generate Energy for characters using Basic/Skill and try to repeat step 1 again.
- Use Natashaโs Skill or Bailuโs abilities to cleanse crowd-control or status effects from your character and to heal the team if necessary.
Thereโs no tank or shielder on this team, so youโll have to rely a lot on Natasha or Bailu to keep the team alive. Thatโs easy enough as long as Seeleโs killing enemies.
Seele – Silver Wolf – Tingyun – Bailu
For a dual-element team that will steamroll just about anything in its path, youโre going to need someone like Silver Wolf. This interaction combines the Quantum element and Lightning. You donโt have to worry about Weaknesses since Silver Wolf can change those forcibly with her Skill.
Bailu is required, however, since sheโs the only healer with the Lightning Element. Itโs important to keep the number of elements in the team as low as possible so that Silver Wolf can change the enemyโs weakness to either just Quantum or Lightning.
Turn 1 ideal sequence (assuming the enemy doesnโt interfere and all Ultimates are ready):
- Activate Silver Wolfโs Ultimate on your enemy of choice.
- Use Silver Wolfโs Skill on an enemy thatโs not weak to Quantum.
- Use Tingyunโs Skill on Seele (if she goes earlier than Seele, otherwise, never mind).
- Either use Seeleโs Skill to kill a weak enemy or use her Ultimate if youโre unsure whether the Skill could kill an enemy in one turn. The point here is to kill a weak enemy in one turn to trigger Seeleโs talent, allowing her to attack again.
- Feel free to spend Seeleโs two (more or less) free attacks on any enemy or the boss.
- Keep using Silver Wolfโs Skill on enemies who donโt have a weakness to Quantum.
- Use Tingyunโs Ultimate and Skill (if available) on Seele.
- Generate Energy for characters using Basic/Skill and try to repeat step 1 again.
- Use Bailuโs abilities to heal the team if necessary.
Seele – Silver Wolf – Natasha – Trailblazer (Physical)
Consider this one a budget Silver Wolf dual-element team (if you were lucky enough to snag both her and Seele). But instead of Lightning, the other element is Physical, courtesy of Natasha and the default Trailblazer.
Similarly, Silver Wolf will ensure that enemies are weak to either element, Seele deals with the toughest enemies, and Trailblazer will clear up the stragglers with either their Ultimate or Skill.
Turn 1 ideal sequence (assuming the enemy doesnโt interfere and all Ultimates are ready):
- Activate Silver Wolfโs Ultimate on your enemy of choice.
- Use Silver Wolfโs Skill on an enemy thatโs not weak to Quantum or Physical.
- Use Trailblazerโs Ultimate.
- Either use Seeleโs Skill to kill a weak enemy or use her Ultimate if youโre unsure whether the Skill could kill an enemy in one turn. The point here is to kill a weak enemy in one turn to trigger Seeleโs talent, allowing her to attack again.
- Feel free to spend Seeleโs two (more or less) free attacks on any enemy or the boss.
- Keep using Silver Wolfโs Skill on enemies who donโt have a weakness to Quantum or Physical.
- Use Trailblazerโs Skill.
- Generate Energy for characters using Basic/Skill and try to repeat step 1 again.
- Use Natashaโs Skill to cleanse crowd-control or status effects from your character and to heal the team if necessary.
Trailblazer acts as both the tank and the AoE DPS here, especially since they can inflict Weakness Break on multiple enemies easily. And as always, Seele will slice everything up with her scythe.
