Chapter 31: The Five-Star Character Rankings Revealed—Seele Dominates!

Guinaifen opened the character trial interface, swallowing nervously.

She knew that once she tried out Seele, she wouldn't be able to resist pulling for her afterward!

But there was no choice. In Belobog, where scavenging through trash cans was commonplace, how could she ignore the chance to try this character?

"Forget it, let's see Seele's skills first!"

Upon entering the trial scenario, Guinaifen immediately activated Seele's Skill and attacked the enemy leader.

The sidebar provided a brief overview of Seele's abilities.

"Both the Skill and ultimate deal single-target damage..."

"And killing an enemy grants an Extra Turn?"

"To be honest, Seele's abilities aren't complex. Now let's observe their effectiveness in combat."

[Entering Battle]

"When controlling Seele, you should start by activating this Skill. Not only does it deal damage, but it also boosts her Speed for two turns!"

On the battlefield, Seele shifted from holding her scythe with one hand to resting it on her shoulder.

Simultaneously, she occasionally flickered as if oscillating between reality and quantum realms.

"As expected of a limited Five-Star, even this single Skill has such dazzling effects!"

Upon release, Seele seemed to tear through space, folding across wormholes to swiftly appear before and behind the enemy, unleashing rapid combos.

This attack precisely defeated the monster, triggering [Remanifestation].

Using another Skill, she took down the second monster.

At that moment,

her ultimate ability had fully charged.

"Buzz!"

"Let me grant your release now."

[Chaos Butterfly] activated!

She spun her scythe, launching forward like an arrow released from its string.

Due to her incredible speed, Seele's image on the screen became increasingly distorted, with her head occupying nearly half of it.

"Vanish alongside these butterflies, illusions of yore!"

In a flurry of blinding light, she dealt massive Quantum damage!

[ReManifestation triggered!]

It was Seele's turn again.

"That much damage?" Guinaifen glanced at the five-digit number in the top-right corner of the screen, somewhat astonished.

With most characters still under-leveled, this high damage output marked a significant breakthrough.

"How is it Seele's turn again?

"You've already moved four times!"

"The monsters and your teammates haven't even had a chance!"

"Is that how you play a turn-based game?"

Witnessing this effect, the viewers in the stream couldn't contain their excitement.

"That ultimate animation... I half-expected Seele to leap out of the screen and hit me!"

"Is this what limited Five Stars are all about?"

"She took down four monsters in one turn! Are you sure she's The Hunt?"

"Glad I didn't rush into pulling before. Landing Seele now would be such a steal!"

Guinaifen bit her lip, seemingly wrestling with herself internally.

As if a voice whispered in her mind—

"This is exactly what you've been wanting—an ultimate single-target character!"

"The first limited-time Five-Star since Honkai: Star Rail's launch—worth every bit of its rarity!"

In the end, Little Gui succumbed to temptation.

A moment later...

Little Gui's cartoon avatar appeared on the stream screen, obscuring her payment interface.

"Little Gui, what are you doing?! Stop right there! We agreed not to spend real money!"

"Oh no, Little Gui has succumbed!"

"I've already recharged my account!"

"Can't wait for Seele's chaotic rampage!"

In no time at all...

Guinaifen had purchased the first-time recharge rewards for every tier.

Initially feeling slightly guilty before spending, she now only experienced excitement and anticipation, seeing over ten thousand Starry Sky points in her account!

"I wonder if my Stargate is strong enough to unlock Seele and her dedicated weapon?"

"No worries, I'll start with 'Good Fortune Awaits' first!"

She switched out of the game screen, ready to open up some tunes.

Suddenly, she noticed a notification at the top of her phone:

Wealthy Patron Confirms All Seven Five-Star Characters in Star Rail's Gacha Pool!

This notification must have quickly gained immense popularity to appear on her device.

Guinaifen wouldn't miss anything related to Star Rail, especially such groundbreaking news!

"Seven five-star characters in total?!"

"That means there are several I haven't even seen yet—let's check it out immediately!"

"Hold your horses, folks! First, let's see what other experts are in the regular gacha pool!"

[This video features a comprehensive test by an anonymous wealthy patron! Over 200 million Credits were spent, revealing all the five-star characters present in the gacha pool!]

[The ranking reflects the creator's subjective analysis and serves as a reference for fans of Honkai: Star Rail.]

[Tier One: Bronya. That's right! This young Silvermane Guard from Belobog excels as a Supporter, providing insane damage buffs and can even speed up allies' turn order—the most powerful support character thus far!]

[Second Tier: Gepard, Bailu. The importance of support roles in this game is undeniable! With Gepard's ability to shield the entire team, gameplay becomes remarkably smoother! Meanwhile, Bailu boasts unparalleled healing capabilities and exceptional fault tolerance through reviving one teammate!]

"Bailu?"

"Can't be the Draconic Lady I know, right?" Guinaifen looked astonished.

In the next moment, the video showed Bailu grinning happily while holding her gourd, confirming Guinaifen's guess.

"The Draconic Lady has always been a renowned healer in Luofu. It makes perfect sense for her to be a five-star Abundance character in the game, with abilities like healing and resurrection!"
