  Best Overall Pick

  
  

**Honkai: Star Rail ** routinely gives out free 4-Star characters through various events. Similar to Hanu's Prison Break , the new Origami Bird Clash event gives players the opportunity to claim one of four featured 4-Star characters. The four available characters are Gallagher, Hanya, Luka, and Arlan, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.

While the choice is highly dependent on each player's roster of characters, the best pick is the one that brings the most overall value to the various end-Anime game missions content. This could be a character the player has yet to own or an Eidolon that significantly improves the strength of one.

Gallagher is a 4-Star Fire Abundance unit with a unique blend of offensive and supportive capabilities. Alongside healing, he excels at debuffing enemies and dealing large amounts of Toughness damage on his own.

Gallagher's main strength revolves around the use of his Ultimate, which applies Besotted to all targets hit and enhances his next Basic ATK. Targets afflicted with Besotted receive increased Break DMG, and allies that attack them are healed. This makes Gallagher the first character in Honkai: Star Rail to directly provide an increase to Break DMG , previously only influenced by Break Effect.

Furthermore, his enhanced Basic ATK reduces targets' ATK for two turns and inflicts a staggering 90 Toughness damage, on par with many single-target Ultimates in the Anime game release dates. Coupled with his Ultimate advancing his action by 100%, Gallagher's contribution to Toughness damage is unprecedented for a healer. As an added bonus, the enhanced version also activates the healing from his talent for his team.

One thing to note is that all of Gallagher's healing is flat, meaning they do not scale with any stats and can only be affected by increases to Outgoing Healing . While that may sound like a downside, this allows him to invest heavily in other stats like Break Effect , which happens to affect Outgoing Healing through his A2 Major Trace.

Gallagher's main weakness lies in the difficulty maintaining Besotted against fast enemies with action advancing skills. This can be circumvented by using his Ultimate right after the enemies' turn, although that may be challenging when emergency Toughness damage or healing are needed.
