Honkai: Star Rail 4.4 Card Drawing Guide: Are Himeko Nova, Rin Tohsaka and Gilgamesh worth drawing?

The card drawing pressure of Honkai: Star Rail 4.4 is quite high: on one side is a brand-new appearanceHimeko Nova, the other side is the Fate linkage characterGilgameshandRin Tohsaka, and at the same timeSparxie,Danheng·Permansor Terrae,Evernight,Cerydra,Anaxa,AventurineWait for the reproduction selection. For most players, the question is not "are there any characters worth drawing?", but where to put resources when Xingqiong only has enough to protect one or two targets.

Let’s give the conclusion first:If you lack the fire attribute to attack the main C, Himeko Nova is the most noteworthy new character of 4.4; if you want to draw Fate for linkage, Gilgamesh is more general about using thunder to destroy output, and Rin Tohsaka is more about quantum intelligence and combat skill point recycling; if your account lacks survival slots, Aventurine The priority is still very high.Other replica characters depend more on whether you have invested resources in the corresponding system.

HSR 4.4 Card Pool Overview

According to the current reference information, the 4.4 version can be divided into three card drawing lines: the Himeko Nova full version card pool, the regular replica card pool, and the Fate linkage card pool.

Card pool/stage	5 star character	main value
full version	Himeko Nova	Fire attribute intelligence master C, partial group attack and coordination mechanism
Phase 1	Sparxie, Danheng・Permansor Terrae, Evernight	Fire attribute happiness, reliable survival, memory system deputy C/auxiliary
Phase 2	Aventurine, Anaxa, Cerydra	High-quality shield assistance, wind knowledge output, wind harmonious turning
Fate linkage	Gilgamesh, Rin Tohsaka	Thunder destruction output, quantum intelligence output

The most difficult part this time is that neither new characters nor recreated characters are purely “replenishing the illustrated book” options. Himeko Nova, Gilgamesh, and Rin Tohsaka are all output-oriented characters and are prone to compete with each other for resources; the replica function bits of Aventurine and Cerydra may improve the account experience more than the new master C. Therefore, when making a card drawing decision for 4.4, it is best to first look at the account's shortcomings, rather than just looking at the character's age.

Is Himeko Nova worth smoking?

project	Himeko Nova
rarity	5 stars
property	fire
destiny	knowledge
Main positioning	Main C / Group Attack Output / Astral Express Collaboration Core
keywords	Starblazer, Assist Skill, fire attribute AoE

The selling point of Himeko Nova is newStarblazerandAssist Skillmechanism. She does not simply make the old Himeko into a high-value version, but prefers a fire-attribute intellectual core that "triggers output through team coordination." For players who lack fire attribute group attacks and pure beauty/fictional narrative multi-target clearing characters, her value will be very intuitive.

Suitable for smoking Himeko Nova:

· Your account lacks the fire attribute C, especially the multi-target output.

· You want to build a Astral Express style team around the new mechanics of 4.4.

· You need an intellectual core who can cope with a group of monsters.

· You already have enough survival slots and support slots to build a team around her.

· You like Himeko characters and are willing to invest resources in mechanics and character preferences.

Consider skipping situations:

· You already have Mature Fire C or Intelligence Master C, and there is no obvious output gap for difficult content.

· What you lack even more is survival position, synchronic support or single boss output.

· You don't want to rearrange your team around the Starblazer/Assist Skill mechanic.

· You are backing up the Fate linkage character, and Xing Qiong cannot cover multiple targets.

Conclusion: Himeko Nova is worth picking, but it is more like a "strong without fire and group attack" character, rather than a must-have for all accounts.If you already have multiple Formed Master Cs, it is recommended to wait for the actual test to see her true performance in Chaos Memories, Fictional Narratives and Doomsday Phantoms.

Is Gilgamesh worth smoking?

Gilgamesh is the 5-star linkage of FateThunder attribute destructionRole, positioning partial main C and range output. The reference text focuses on his mechanismGate of BabylonandKing's Acknowledgement, the gameplay is expected to be to create stable thunder attribute output pressure through powerful diffusion/range attacks.

Suitable for smoking Gilgamesh:

· You lack the thunder attribute master C, or the output of the existing thunder team is not stable enough.

· You want a destruction character that can handle both single-target and multi-target environments.

· You are a Fate linked player and have a clear character preference for Gilgamesh.

· You already have a Harmony, Void, or Survival character that can serve the Lord of Destruction C.

Consider skipping situations:

· Your main C numbers are enough, your real shortcomings are support or survival.

· You already have mature thunder attribute output, and you don’t plan to change the core.

· You have no strong preference for Fate linkage and just want to pursue the optimal solution for your account.

Conclusion: The priority of Gilgamesh depends on whether you lack thunder/destruction output.If you are drawing him to supplement your main C, he is very attractive; if it is just because of the popularity of the linkage, it is recommended to first confirm whether you are willing to prepare a complete team for him.

Is Rin Tohsaka worth smoking?

Rin Tohsaka is 5 starsQuantum intelligenceOutput, mechanism keyword isGem EnergyandSkill Point. Her gameplay seems to revolve around the consumption of combat skill points, recovery and strengthening of combat skills, and the reference article mentions that she andArcherThere is direct linkage.

Suitable for smoking Rin Tohsaka:

· You lack quantum output, especially quantum group attack characters.

· You like resource recycling gameplay such as combat skill point management and enhanced combat skill burst.

· You are ready to invest in the Fate linkage system at the same time, especially consider the Archer related team.

· You already have a stable supply of combat skill points and team circulation planning.

Consider skipping situations:

· You already have powerful quantum or intellectual output.

· You don’t want to cycle through your existing team composition just for skill points.

· You just want to draw a Fate character, and your account lacks the destruction master C or thunder attribute coverage.

Conclusion: Rin Tohsaka is more like a system-type output.Her strength limit may be highly bound to resource recycling, Archer linkage, and team combat skill point allocation. If you like this kind of character with a rhythm of operation, she will be interesting; if you just want a simple and direct main C, Gilgamesh may be more worry-free.

How to choose a replica character?

Sparxie

The positioning of Sparxie is biasedFire attribute joy, suitable for players who have already invested in additional attack or pleasure systems. If your fire team and additional attack components have already taken shape, re-engraving her can improve the integrity of the corresponding system. On the other hand, if you just lack a general-purpose output, the Himeko Nova or Gilgamesh may be worth looking at first.

Danheng·Permansor Terrae

Danheng·Permansor Terrae is placed in the "reliable survival" direction in the reference text. For many accounts, the value of the strong survival position is often higher than that of the third and fourth main C. If you often lose stars in difficult content because you can't keep your team, his priority should be raised.

Evernight

Evernight YesIce attribute memory sub-C/remembering damage assist/memory team buff position. She is suitable for players who have already built their team around memory system, spiritual recall damage or ice-attribute team. If you don't have relevant cores, her income will be lower than more intuitive characters such as Himeko Nova and Aventurine.

Cerydra

Cerydra YesWind attribute synchronic support, partial to single-target abduction and combat skill damage gain. Her value lies not in her own output, but in allowing the main C to hit harder and more stably. If you already have Phainon or other main Cs that rely on combat skill damage, her reproduction value is very high; if you have enough synchronized characters, the priority can be moved back.

Anaxa

Anaxa YesWind attribute intelligence output, and implant related values ​​with weaknesses. For players who lack the wind attribute to attack in groups and want more flexible weak point coverage, he is a very good target for reproduction. But if you have already decided to draw Himeko Nova or Rin Tohsaka, you must be careful about resource overlap when adding another intellectual output.

Aventurine

Aventurine is still one of the easiest characters to recommend among the 4.4 remakes. asImaginary number storage shield auxiliary, he can provide a stable team shield and contribute additional offensive value to the additional attacking team. For players who lack survival positions, his priority can even be higher than all output characters.

Suitable for pumping Aventurine:

· You only have one stable and limited survival position, and the second team is often under a lot of pressure.

· You want to increase your fault tolerance in high-pressure environments such as Chaos Memories and Doomsday Phantoms.

· You use the additional attack system, hoping that the survival position can also participate in the output rhythm.

· You don't lack the main C, but the team stability is insufficient.

If you already have multiple highly skilled survival characters and there is no survival pressure on your team, Aventurine is not strictly necessary. But for most mid-term accounts, he is still a very stable investment.

4.4 extraction priority recommendation

player type	Recommended order
novice player	Aventurine/Dan Hengsheng Position > One main C > Cerydra and other assistants
Lack of fire group attack	Himeko Nova > Sparxie > Other outputs
Missing thunder master C	Gilgamesh > Himeko Nova/Rin Tohsaka
Lack of Quantum Group Attack	Rin Tohsaka > Himeko Nova > Anaxa
memory player	Evernight priority increased
Chase Fate linkage	First choose Gilgamesh or Rin Tohsaka which is more suitable for your account. It is not recommended to blindly draw dual characters.
Main C has been a lot	Function bits like Aventurine and Cerydra are usually more cost-effective
F2P player	By default, only one limited 5-star rating is guaranteed, and the biggest shortcomings should be addressed first.

For more general sorting, please refer to:

1. your favorite character: Long-term experience is always more important than short-term rankings.

2. The biggest weakness of the account: If there is a lack of survival, supplement the survival first, and if the main C is missing, then supplement the main C.

3. Aventurine / Strong survival position: High priority when there is no second reliable survivor.

4. Himeko Nova: Priority is given when you are short of fire group attack or want to play new mechanisms.

5. Gilgamesh / Rin Tohsaka: Select by attribute gap, Fate preference and team adaptation.

6. Cerydra / Evernight / Anaxa / Sparxie: Suitable for players who already have the corresponding system to strengthen it.

F2P How do players plan for Xingqiong?

If you are F2P or a small monthly card player, the most stable strategy for 4.4 is:Don’t default to being able to draw more than two limited 5 stars.There are too many characters this time, and it is most likely that "everyone wants to draw, but no one can win steadily in the end".

It is recommended to ask yourself three questions first:

· What is most lacking in my account right now is main C, survival, auxiliary, or specific attribute coverage?

· Would I be willing to rearrange my team around new mechanics or Fate crossover characters?

· If I only take one character this time, who will make me most comfortable in the next two to three versions?

If the answer is "I lack survival", give priority to Aventurine or Danheng Permansor Terrae. If the answer is "I lack fire group attack", look at Himeko Nova. If the answer is "I came here just for Fate", then choose between Gilgamesh and Rin Tohsaka according to attributes and gameplay.

final conclusion

Honkai: Star Rail 4.4 There is no single correct answer, but there is a very clear account priority.Himeko Nova is suitable for players who lack the fire attribute group attack and want to experience new synergy mechanisms; Gilgamesh is suitable for players who lack the thunder attribute to destroy the main C or have a strong preference for Fate; Rin Tohsaka is suitable for players who like quantum intelligence, combat skill point rotation and Archer linkage.

In terms of reproduction,Aventurine is the most stable account type choice, especially suitable for players who lack a second strong survival position; Cerydra is suitable for enhanced combat skills; Evernight is suitable for memory systems; Anaxa is suitable for players who lack wind intelligence and weak point coverage; Sparxie is more suitable for players who already have fun or add attack systems.

One sentence summary:

· Pump Himeko Nova: If you lack the fire attribute to attack the main C, or want to form a team around the Starblazer/Assist Skill mechanism.

· Pump Gilgamesh: If you lack the thunder attribute destruction output, or Fate has strong feelings.

· Pump Rin Tohsaka: If you lack quantum intelligence output and are willing to play the combat skill point cycle.

· Pump Aventurine: If you lack a reliable survival position, this is a very stable choice.

· Skip 4.4 part of the card pool: If your core team is complete, it makes perfect sense to acquire future characters such as Xing Qiong.

In Star Dome Railway, the biggest fear when drawing cards is not missing a strong character, but spreading resources to an unformed team just to "look strong". The best way to draw 4.4 is to make each star serve a clear account goal.
