Review

We have reworked our tier list owing to multiple meta shifts and how we rate characters. As such some of the reviews (especially of older characters) might not match the tier list ratings. Please prioritize the ratings given over provided Review. We will be working on updating all reviews, but it is a time-consuming endeavor.

August 2025

Honglan’s combination of permanent Slow aura and Mana Shred still holds steady in today’s fast meta. With the release of far more readily available and explosive DPS carries, Honglan can settle back into doing what she does best - stop enemies from firing off Mains Skills and Ultimates first. She is also the soul that spreads the most Freeze DoT, giving her an easy slot into Weiss comps. 

With a copy readily available for free via the Savior Attendance banner, Honglan is of superb value across most points of the game and easily ascended over time. She also sees regular use in high end PvE content, although her general frailty does require some smart positioning and gearing to abuse. While she does need at least Eternal Artifact to start mana shredding with her subskills, her Tower of Origin gives her a good headstart and makes it a fair bit more accessible.

Pros & Cons
Pros

  • Unmatched tempo control.

  • Works well even at low ascension.

Cons

  • Squishy.

  • Eternal artifact needed for best results.

Love Story

The answers below are the correct ones you have to pick to achieve the True Ending (in the order you have to do so).

  1. Is it because the rabbits are nervous?

  2. I think it's my fault.

  3. Did Honglan live detached from the rest of the world for a long time?

  4. It's for your sake.

  5. Suggest what you want to do together.

  6. Ask if she misses the baby rabbits.
