Pros & Cons
Pros
Highly competitive for Break teams and quite impressive on their own,
Extremely high Toughness damage,
Can lock down Weakness Broken enemies for longer with a 30% Break Delay,
Super Break allows all allies to contribute some damage,
Near permanent Ultimate uptime,
Scales incredibly well with Eidolons which we get full access to,
Adds a significant amount of free Break Effect to the whole team.
Cons
As a Break focused character, they do almost no damage before an enemy is Broken,
Wants to be paired with dedicated Break characters to make the most of their kit,
Loses a lot of effectiveness against non-IMG weak,
A2 Bonus Trace loses effectiveness in large AoE scenarios,
The best teammate option is with Ruan Mei, a limited 5-star Harmony.
Review (By Sushou)
The Harmony Trailblazer is the first of their kind, being a fully dedicated Break support. They provide teamwide Break Effect and unique benefits for attacking Broken enemies in the form of Super Break DMG, dealing considerable Break DMG based on the character's Break Effect and the Toughness-reducing damage of the attack. The Trailblazer themselves deal extremely high Toughness damage, meaning they will also be able to contribute very high damage against Broken targets. This Super Break counteracts the natural downside of Break setups; the damage usually trails once an enemy is Broken, but with the Harmony Trailblazer, it only increases that damage — vastly so.
You know, it seems like as more and more Harmony characters get released, Xipe must have a clause in the Harmony contract that states 'Thou shalt be damn strong and have mad swag' because every single one of them has been outstanding, and the Harmony edition of the Trailblazer is no different. If you were worried that the Trailblazer's new behatted form isn't worthy of hanging with the greats and is doomed to never be used, then I have some great news for you because it looks like the Harmony Trailblazer is going to become a staple support for Break focused teams moving forward.
Their Skill is a Bounce ability, dealing up to 50% ATK damage to a target enemy and then dealing an additional 4 hits of the same damage to random enemies after. As a Bounce ability, this has a tremendous amount of Toughness damage attached to it, especially if you're against small numbers of enemies. Especially since the Harmony Trailblazer wants to Break enemies as quickly as possible to take advantage of their Ultimate's effects, if the enemy is weak to Imaginary you'll be absolutely bullying them with this Skill.
This Skill helps a lot with Energy gain as well, so it's highly recommended to use this every single turn to maximize the gains from both aspects. Their Talent also plays into this by providing up to 10 Energy whenever an enemy target's Weakness gets Broken, so Breaking faster also regenerates Energy faster. This is triggered on any Break, so you don't necessarily have to have the Trailblazer being the one to Break enemies to benefit from this.
Now for the Ultimate, it's the most important aspect of their kit. For the cost of 140 Energy, they grant all allies, including themselves, a buff called Backup Dancer that lasts for 3 of the Trailblazer's turns. Allies with Backup Dancer will have their Break Effect increased by up to 30% and gain access to a new exclusive mechanic called Super Break. When an ally with Backup Dancer hits a Broken enemy, they will deal an instance of Super Break DMG, and this damage is based on both the Break Effect of the attacking character as well as the Toughness DMG of this attack.
This new Super Break mechanic is the answer to the most profound question that has plagued full Break setups up to now, which is 'I've broken the enemy! Now what?' — when you Broke an enemy before, you got a huge influx of damage upon the initial Break, but all that Break Effect you stacked is useless until the target recovers from Break. It was the ironic downside of Ruan Mei's Weakness Break Efficiency for Break users, in that delaying the enemy from recovering from Break was actually worse for you. But now with Harmony Trailblazer's Super Break, all that Break Effect comes in like Truck-kun to decimate the already Broken enemy, turning the ironic disadvantage of a Broken enemy into the time where the team can put out their most potent damage.
Now is probably the time to explain why Break DMG is so special and unique. Break DMG is not like other sources of damage in this game in that it has far fewer ways to be affected; unsurprisingly CRIT stats do nothing, but even things like your usual DMG% increases will also do nothing. No other stats besides Break Effect will affect the Break DMG, but certain character effects and debuffs on enemies will also be able to increase the Break DMG enemies receive; things like Gallagher's Talent increasing Break DMG directly, or reducing enemies' DEF or Elemental RES, or applying vulnerability. This also goes both ways, so if an enemy has increased stats, they will end up taking less damage.
Break DMG also gets increased based off of the enemies' Maximum Toughness, so you'll do much more Break DMG against a Boss or Elite with a large Toughness bar than you would against an elemental bird that gets Broken in a single hit. This is actually not the case for Super Break, meaning you can do the same amount of extra damage against all enemies once they're Broken, though the initial Break DMG will still be affected by the enemy Max Toughness as normal.
It's particularly interesting that Super Break also cares about the Toughness damage of the action that triggers it, so other support characters can end up dealing a surprising amount of damage with Super Break; once again, Gallagher is a particularly great example of this due to his Ultimate and Enhanced Basic combo being a huge total of 150 Toughness, and Aventurine is also a great example thanks to his frequent Bouncing follow-up from his Talent. The Harmony Trailblazer themselves will be consistently making full use of these effects thanks to their high Toughness damage Skill as well as obviously being incentivised to build for maximum Break Effect, so don't be surprised to be easily broaching 6-digit damage numbers with the dapper hatter.
The Bonus Ability Traces matter quite a bit, not just because they're really good but because Break DMG cares immensely about your Character Level. Their A2 will increase the damage of Super Break based on the number of enemies on the field, having higher benefits the fewer enemies there are; you get a 20% increase against 5 or more enemies, but you get a whopping 60% increase against only a single target. Either way, you're getting a substantial boost because this increase to Super Break is actually a separate final multiplier, making this an inordinately powerful damage increase.
A4 will similarly provide a massive boost, increasing the Toughness damage of the initial hit of their Skill by 100%. This is ambiguous so let me elaborate. As a Bounce ability, the initial hit has the most Toughness damage, followed by a halved value for all remaining hits. This generally puts 5-hit Bounce abilities in the range of about 90 Toughness damage, about the same as most single-target Ultimates. By doubling the value of the initial hit, the Harmony Trailblazer's Skill now deals a colossal 120 Toughness damage, putting it on par with Xueyi's Ultimate and Imbibitor Lunae's Fulgurant Leap.
A6 also provides a massive benefit that was previously a downside for Break setups. Whenever an ally Breaks an enemy, their next action will be delayed by 30%. This allows for more time to wrack up the impressive damage from Super Break and also doubles as a means of improving team survivability. This delaying effect stacks extremely well with both Ruan Mei's Ultimate and Welt's Ultimate; you can actually send enemies to the shadow realm and then keep them there for long enough to get obliterated by the subsequent Super Break damage.
Since this is the Trailblazer, we will eventually get access to all of their Eidolons, though it may not be immediate. E1 will refund a Skill Point for the first Skill of a fight, making it easier to get the ball rolling without screwing over your DPS, and E2 will grant 25% Energy Regeneration Rate for 3 turns at the start of combat, speeding up the rate at which you get the first Ultimate. E4 will increase the Break Effect of all other allies by 15% of the Trailblazer's current Break Effect, and this will dynamically update if the Trailblazer's Break Effect changes. E3 and E5 are both very appreciated Trace levels. Finally, E6 will add 2 extra hits to the Bounce of the Skill, for a new total of 7 hits, resulting in this one Skill dealing a hilarious 150 Toughness damage, tied with Argenti's Lv2 Ultimate for the most Toughness damage on any single ability. The extra hits also mean this Skill will regenerate more Energy, opening up some more build flexibility in terms of Light Cones.
With this particular kit, it's no surprise that Ruan Mei is an exceptionally good pairing with Harmony Trailblazer; one helps you Break faster and the other helps you delete the then-Broken foe. Ruan Mei’s Weakness Break Efficiency also helps to improve the damage from Super Break. While this is the ideal combination, you should not despair if you do not have Ruan Mei, as Harmony Trailblazer is more than powerful enough to be the complete backbone of Break teams moving forward. Other units can also be substituted to achieve whichever result is most desirable. If you want more actions then Bronya or Asta can grant the Break DPS more effective SPD, and if you want to make sure the enemy never gets up again you can use Silver Wolf or Pela to send the enemy's DEF to Caelid.
Once again, I'm mentioning Gallagher, because this man just keeps on winning. As already mentioned, his Talent directly improves team Break DMG, his own Toughness damage is highly impressive, and he has no troubles keeping the team alive, especially at higher Eidolon levels. You are also incentivized to build him with Break Effect in mind, so he can provide very impressive damage numbers with the help of the Backup Dancer buff, all from the role of sustain. Unless another sustain shows up with an explicit Break focus, Gallagher is going to be quite the appealing pick for maximising damage.
This is an undeniably powerful kit, and on the Trailblazer of all things! With everyone gaining access to this wonderful break-focused kit, I can't help but think that the game might be shifting towards a Break meta and that the devs want everyone to have a way to make the most of it. Naturally, this means that if any future characters come out with a Break focus (or maybe existing characters like Xueyi), it's a solid bet that the Harmony Trailblazer will be an excellent teammate for them. They’re still useable outside of Break teams, but you shouldn’t expect them to outperform the usual cast when it comes to standard team setups.
Don't be surprised to see this smooth criminal leading the charge for Break teams moving forward. Do not underestimate them, and let us all 'Hee-hee' into that White Night.
Ratings
Honkai: Star Rail is a game where team building matters most and while our tier list takes the optimal setup into account, a lot of characters can work and do well - even those ranked lower - when you invest into them. Also for story or lower difficulties of Simulated Universe, you don't need to worry about ratings and tiers. You can safely clear that content even with F2P characters as long as you build your team correctly.
Character at 5★ are rated at their Eidolon 0 with their best in slot non-limited Light Cone.
Available ratings:
- Memory of Chaos (MoC) - how the character performs in the Memory of Chaos. Blast and single target damage are important here while AoE has niche uses against some bosses.
- Pure Fiction (PF) - how the character performs in the Pure Fiction. AoE is king here, followed by Blast while single target damage is mostly useless.

Best set for Harmony Trailblazer, offering them excellent Break Effect% and also a team-wide Break Effect buff, doubling down on their role as a Break Effect support. With the right build, this set offers the most effective Break Effect for Trailblazer themself with the added benefit of granting it to the team. Team-wide 100% uptime on the buff is incredibly hard to achieve, especially when team advances are involved but 50-66% is all but guaranteed with the right build.

When Speed isn't needed but you don't have a reasonable Watchmaker set, 4P Thief can be used until you do. When enemies Break you'll also get a bit of additional energy on top of the energy you can already expect from your talent. A great choice if all you want is Break and you don't have Watchmaker.

Best Planetary Sets

(2)
Increases the wearer's Break Effect by 16%. When the wearer's SPD reaches 145 or higher, the wearer's Break effect increases by an extra 20%.
Talia is currently the only Planar set that directly offers Harmony Trailblazer stats that they need to enhance their kit and as a support/damage hybrid that makes it at this time definitely their best set. In order to get full value from Talia you'll need 145 Speed though - without it you'll be losing an entire 20% Break Effect.
2
(2)
Increases the wearer's Energy Regeneration Rate by 5%. When the wearer's SPD reaches 120 or higher, the wearer's action is Advanced Forward by 40% immediately upon entering battle.
If your Trailblazer is struggling to maintain their Ultimate 100% of the time or you have a Sprightly planar set with incredibly good sub-stats it can be used before unlocking E6 in future patches but is only recommended if you don't have Talia Kingdom of Banditry. The action advance from this set can allow for faster Breaks and access to Super Break in some fights when looking to seriously min-max the endgame.
3
(2)
Increases wearer's Energy Regeneration Rate by 5%. Increases DMG for all other allies with the same DMG Type as the wearer by 10%.
Penacony, Land of Dreams offers the same Energy Regeneration perk of Sprightly Vonwacq, but will also boost all Imaginary DMG dealt by allies attacks. Unfortunately, this does not include Super Break so while a nice perk will not directly boost Trailblazers kit and is only in effect when supporting an IMG DPS.

If you want to learn more about the various stats and breakpoints, expand the section below.
Relic Main stats
Body - HP% > DEF%
Aim for HP% on Body to help remedy Harmony' Trailblazer's initial low defensive stats. If you can't obtain an HP% body armor with good sub-stats or have an excellent DEF% body armor with good sub-stats use that instead.
Feet - Speed
Best in Slot.
Planar Sphere - HP% > DEF%
Aim for HP% on Sphere to help remedy Harmony' Trailblazer's initial low defensive stats. If you can't obtain an HP% Sphere with good sub-stats or have an excellent DEF% Sphere with good sub-stats use that instead.
Link Rope - Break Effect >= Energy Regen
Break Effect is the most optimal choice as long as you can maintain 100% ultimate uptime without an Energy Recharge Rope.
Whether this is possible will depend on the Eidolon level and the Cone of your Trailblazer primarily, but can also depend on how many hits you take and how many talent activations you are able to trigger in battle. If you don't have E6 or S5 Meshing Cogs/Memories of the Past, an Energy Rope may be required.
Additional notes for sub-stats
SPEED: Speed is one of only two scaling stats the Harmony Trailblazer has to improve their kit output as such stacking as much of it as possible is imperative with the key breakpoints being 134 first and foremost for endgame content and 145 if you are using Talia.
Even after these breakpoints, Speed continues to be useful offering more frequent actions contributing to faster Breaks and more frequent Super Breaks, increasing damage output. Speed is a must-have offensive stat that allows Trailblazer to unlock their Super Break earlier but when using Trailblazer's skill every action with high speeds ensure you manage your skill points appropriately so you don't run out.
Break Effect%: Break Effect% is Trailblazer's other core stat increasing not only their own personal damage through Super Break but also their supportive effects after unlocking E4 thanks to granting 15% of their total Break Effect to allies.
Gaining as much Break Effect as possible is absolutely a top priority and with nothing else to spend your sub-stats on other than Speed and Defenses there's no excuse not to go all out.
Energy Recharge%: Harmony Trailblazer's ultimate is almost their entire kit and without it active they aren't able to do their job. Fortunately, by stacking the right amount of Energy Recharge, it's trivial to keep the Ultimate active permanently through a combination of gameplay, gear, Cones and Eidolons.
Exactly how easy 100% ultimate uptime is and how skill point restrictive the end result will be, depends on your Trailblazer's investment level. Trailblazer has multiple Eidolons and a talent that grants an abundance of Energy at different points of battle.
Unfortunately the best of which - their E6 - is not available on initial release meaning your Energy investment will need to be higher until it can be obtained.
At E4 it's recommended you use either S5 Meshing Cogs/S5 Memories of the past + Break Rope OR an Energy Rope + any other Light Cone with the first option being the more favorable one and spamming your skill to ensure 100% ultimate uptime.
Gaining access to more Energy Recharge than these two setups can allow Harmony Trailblazer to use basics in their rotation, lowering damage but easing skill point costs (this can be achieved pre-E6 with S5 memories/cogs and an energy rope but at the cost of break).
After E6 releases, you'll be free to use any Cone with a break rope equipped or make use of even higher energy recharge builds capable of getting even faster and more frequent ultimates for specialized builds.

Increases the wearer's Break Effect by 60/70/80/90/100%. After the wearer uses their Ultimate, increases all allies' DMG by 24/28/32/36/40%, lasting for 3 turns. Should the wearer's Break Effect exceed or equal 150%, 1 Skill Point will be recovered. At the start of each wave, immediately regenerates 10/12.5/15/17.5/20 Energy for all allies. Effects of the same type cannot stack.

Past Self In Mirror is currently the Cone that offers Trailblazer the most Break Effect, utility and team-wide buffs but at the cost of Energy Regeneration. Using this Cone, keeping your Ultimate active 100% of the time is a challenge and it will require you to use an Energy Recharge rope before unlocking E6. After unlocking E6 this Cone becomes far more enticing as it can be run comfortably without the need to run an Energy Recharge rope thanks to the additional Energy gained every skill used.
111.76%
Increases the wearer's Break Effect by 28/35/42/49/56%. When the wearer attacks, additionally regenerates 4/5/6/7/8 Energy. This effect can only be triggered 1 time per turn.
Source: Stellar Warp
Best well rounded Cone for Harmony Trailblazer offering a fantastic amount of Break Effect% but most importantly up to 8 energy on hit with attacks. The energy from this Cone fully enables you to build a Break rope even before unlocking E6, making it a very appealing option. Lower super imposition levels of this Cone will yield less energy but can still be a good choice with the one rule being you can consistantly keep your Ultimate active at all times.
100.00%
After the wearer uses attacks or gets hit, additionally regenerates 4/5/6/7/8 Energy. This effect can only be triggered 1 time per turn.
Source: Stellar Warp
If you're aiming for consistant energy recharge, especially before E6 becomes available and you don't have a high super imposition level of Memories of the Past, S5 Meshing of Cogs can do the same job at the cost of a good amount of Break Effect and base stats.
100.00%
When the wearer uses their Ultimate, all allies' actions are Advanced Forward by 16/18/20/22/24%
Source: Stellar Warp
Similar to Past Self in Mirror this Cone has no Energy Recharge, making it a challenge to use before E6 becomes available for Trailblazer. When E6 does become available this Cone becomes a solid but specialised option for some teams that want to min-max stuff.
Tips and Tricks
How to unlock the Harmony variant of the Trailblazer?
Play through the 2.2 main story and you will unlock it roughly 3/4 way through it.
How to get Eidolons for the Trailblazer?
In the 2.2 patch, you can only obtain enough Eidolons to raise the character to E5 - and you can obtain them from the Clockie Statue. For the last - E6 - Eidolon, we will have to wait for the next patch. Sadly, the E6 is actually the most powerful and it affects both the character performance and how you build them, so their full power will be unveiled in 2.3 patch.
- Trailblazer's E1 recovers a skill point on first skill use in combat. It requires that you first have at least 1 skill point to use the skill to then recover it afterwards.
- Trailblazer's E4 that grants other allies 15% of their Break Effect updates as their Break Effect changes. Increases and decreases to their current Break Effect in combat will increase and decrease the buff.
- Trailblazer's E6 that grants 2 additional hits with their skill increases the total energy generation of the skill from 30 to 42 as it is a bounce skill (5 hits becomes 7).
What is Super Break?
Let's compare the Break Effect and Super Break formulas first:
Break Formula
Element Multiplier * Lvl Multiplier * Max Toughness Multiplier * (1 + Break Effect) * DEF Multi * Res Multi * Vuln Multi * Broken Multi
Super Break Formula
Lvl Multiplier * (Toughness DMG / 30) * (1 + Break Effect) * (1 + Trailblazer's A2 bonus) * DEF Multi * Res Multi * Vuln Multi * Broken Multi
- Unlike normal Breaks, the enemies toughness is not a factor is how much Super Break damage you'll deal. For this reason you can deal the same sized Super Break to a weak monster as you could to an end game boss.
- The level of your character directly determines the base damage of your Super Break which everything else scales off of. To maximize damage make sure all of your characters are level 80.
- Break and Super break can be inflicted with the same action.
- Super Break's damage will be based on the element of the unit inflicting the damage. For example, Fu Xuan's Ultimate would inflict Quantum Super Break.
- All elements of Super Break use the same damage formula and do not apply any of the usual elemental effects.
- Super Break, like normal Break, is modified by all enemy defensive mechanics such as DEF, RES and damage taken % in both positive and negative ways.
- The best way to deal more Super Break damage is increasing the Toughness damage you deal to an enemy. A basic attack deals 1 Toughness damage where a Skill normally deals 2. Dealing 2 Toughness damage instead of 1 is the equivalent to double damage. So an E6 Trailblazer's 5 toughness damage Skill, it can deal 5 times the Ssuper Break of a normal basic attack.
- Break Efficiency, such as Ruan Mei's buff, increases the total Toughness damage you deal with your attacks and will also increase the Super Break damage by an identical amount (50% in Ruan Mei's case). Break Effect as with traditional Break damage is also a direct multiplier on Super Break damage.
- Super Break damage is always calculated off of the stats of the attacking character's stats. Meaning if you basic attack with your Aventurine it will use his Break Effect stat, not the Trailblazers.
- Enemies do not need to be vulnerable to the unit attacking them to take Super Break damage from them. They only need to be broken first.
- Trailblazer's Dance With the One bonus ability that grants increased Super Break DMG is a unique damage multiplier separate to Break Effect%. For example, if you would deal 10,000 Super Break damage with 50% increase from this bonus ability you'd deal 15,000.
- Dance With the One's strongest effect occurs when only 1 enemy is present, granting 60% increased damage to Super Break while when there is 5 enemies you'll only get 20% increase.
Kit interactions
- Trailblazer's skill at E0 deals a total of 4 break units each use (Initial 2 + 0.5 per hit after), equivalent to most ultimates in the game. At E6 this is increased to 5 break units making their break quite potent if all attacks line up on a singular enemy.
- Trailblazer's Talent that regenerates 10 energy when an enemy target's weakness is broken does not trigger off of Super Break.
- Trailblazer's Bonus ability, Shuffle Along, increases the first hit toughness-reducing damage of Trailblazer's skill. Each use taking the skills total toughness damage from 3 break units to 4 or from 4 to 5 with E6.
- To ensure maximum Ultimate uptime aim to use Trailblazer's Ultimate right after or during their turn as the ultimates duration ticks down at the start of their turn.
- When playing Harmony Trailblazer using the skill every action is most optimal to ensure the Ultimate is always available and you deal maximum toughness and Super Break damage to enemies. With sufficient Energy Regeneration gear, Cones, eidolons or talent triggers you can effortlessly keep your Ultimate up permanently and with multiple of these combined you also have the option to use basic attacks to generate skill points if needed while maintaining that 100% uptime all be it at the expense of some Break and Toughness damage.
Synergy
| Character | Notes |
|---|---|
 | Being the sole Weakness Break efficiency buffer in the game makes Ruan Mei the BiS buffer for Harmony Trailblazer - and Super Break in general, due to how it scales based on the amount of Toughness damage it deals. |
  | Boothill and Firefly are our premium Break damage dealers. While Firefly needs to be paired with Harmony MC, Boothill doesn't but he can use Harmony Trailblazer’s Super Break on elites and bosses to kill them faster. |
  | Sushang and Xueyi have gotten a resurgence due to Harmony Trailblazer being added to the game, allowing them to be run as a full crit DPS or Hybrid, as both take full advantage of Breaking, as well as enemies being in the Broken state. |
 | In Imaginary-specific content, Welt is able to take up the role of the Main Breaker by delaying them into the void, never to move again once Broken, allowing you to run a Sustain-free team with ease. Welt’s Skill bounces across multiple enemies at random, but on Single Target enemies it shreds Toughness bars. |
