Fu Xuan has managed to be the most popular 5-star character in Honkai Star Rail as of January 2024, with a 96.1% usage rate. Being a Preservation unit, she has access to powerful damage-mitigation abilities that can sustain the entire team during combat. In fact, it is highly unlikely for any character to get knocked out by an enemy nuke in her presence.

Interestingly, Ruan Mei has secured the fifth spot with a 90.7% usage rate in the current Memory of Chaos cycle. She brings an extremely future-proof set of buffs that allows her teammates to break and ignore a portion of a target’s defense while dealing damage.

In contrast, Xuyei, the newest 4-star unit, is in 34th place with a meager 0.3% usage rate since most of her combat potential is locked behind her Eidolons.
