Elements
Each Character in Honkai: Star Rail has a Path. You can think of Paths as character classes - a character’s Path will give you a general idea of what role that Character fulfills in combat as well as what Light Cones they can fully utilize.
There are currently 14 known Paths in the game, but only 7 are playable:
- Abundance (Healer)
- Destruction (General DPS)
- Erudition (Multi-Target DPS)
- Harmony (Offensive/Utility Support)
- Hunt (Single Target DPS)
- Nihility (Debuffer)
- Preservation (Defensive Support/Tank)
And here's the list of Paths that currently doesn't have any characters attached to it:
- Beauty
- Elation
- Enigmata
- Propagator
- Rememberance
- Trailblaze
- Voracity
