Ready to dive into the world of Honkai Impact 3rd? This fast-paced action game from miHoYo is packed with flashy combat, epic cutscenes, and best of all — powerful Valkyries! But with so many choices, you might wonder: “Which Valkyries are actually the best?” Don’t worry. We’ve got you covered with a fun and simple tier list. Let’s break it down!
What Are Valkyries?
In case you’re new, Valkyries are the main characters you control in Honkai Impact 3rd. Each has different skills, elements, and styles. Some shred enemies in seconds. Others give support or deal splash damage. Picking the right ones for your team is key.
How the Tier List Works
This list puts Valkyries into tiers — from S to C:
- S-Tier: Absolute game-changers. Strong in almost every situation.
- A-Tier: Very powerful, but just a step below the top.
- B-Tier: Good, but best used in specific team setups.
- C-Tier: Fun to use but often outclassed by others.
S-Tier Valkyries
These queens rule the battlefield. High damage, great mobility, and just… wow!
- Herrscher of Human: Ego (Elysia) – A cosmic powerhouse with insane ranged attacks and stylish moves. She’s a must-have!
- Herrscher of Origin (Raiden Mei) – Amazing AoE skills and versatility. She’s as strong as she is elegant.
- Herrscher of Truth (Bronya) – A game-changer in ranged combat. She’s fast, explosive, and a nightmare for enemies.
A-Tier Valkyries
Not top of the pile, but still incredible picks for most battles.
- Silverwing: N-EX (Bronya) – Great for ranged damage. Extremely flexible in different team setups.
- Phoenix (Fuhua) – Awesome support with cool AoE fire damage. Great for long fights.
- Stygian Nymph (Seele) – Dual-forms and fast-paced fun. Great for those who love agile combat styles.
B-Tier Valkyries
These girls shine in the right situation. Not always ideal, but plenty fun to use.
- Valkyrie Gloria (Durandal) – Solid for Physical damage. Depends on good gear to shine.
- Vermilion Knight: Eclipse (Himeko) – Big sword, big fire, big drama. But a bit outdated compared to newer units.
- Shadow Knight (Fu Hua) – Excellent Ice damage, but tricky to master.
C-Tier Valkyries
They’re not the best, but they sure look cool! Use them for fun or story missions.
- Crimson Impulse (Kiana) – One of the first you’ll get. Basic, but nostalgic.
- Sakuno Rondo (Yae Sakura) – Pretty and graceful, but low damage compared to the stars.
- Blueberry Blitz (Liliya) – Cute, but not really meta these days.
Things to Keep in Mind
Tier lists can change! Updates often tweak skills, add new characters, or change the meta. Plus, even lower-tier Valkyries can be great with the right build, team, and gear.
Pro Tip: Use your favorite characters! Having fun is more important than being “meta.” After all, style points matter too!
Final Thoughts
Whether you’re slicing through enemies with Elysia or nuking them with Bronya’s lasers, there’s a perfect Valkyrie for every playstyle. The S-tier girls are incredible — but try out as many as you can. The Honkai world is big, beautiful, and constantly evolving.
So suit up, commander. Your Valkyries await!
