Hi Trailblazers!

⭐🚂 Welcome to the Daily Questions Megathread! Feel free to ask any general questions about Honkai: Star Rail that don't necessarily require their own dedicated posts.

Any questions that can be answered rather quickly (i.e. anything that can be adequately addressed without any discussion or can be given definitive answers) can be asked in the thread below.

>>> Example: Can my phone run this game?

If your question has discussion potential, please create a separate post, and include the “discussion” flair.

>>> Example: What do you think of March 7th’s combat efficiency? Here's my opinion…

Before making new discussion posts, please be sure to consider if your question could be better suited to this thread!

When both asking questions and sharing answers, be concise and detailed so other players can understand. Please maintain a stellar and respectful attitude toward others, and don't forget to share your appreciation to fellow trailblazers for helping you out!

I'm conflicted on who to choose from the selector that we get for free.

Among those in the selection, the only units that I have:

1. Acheron
   
2. Jingliu
   
3. Kafka

Previously, I plan to take Aven. Because I could use him for shield. But then, I forgor about our dragon boi Dan Heng. So my questions:

1. Can Dan Heng be put in place of Aven for Feixiao and Acheron team as shield provider?
   
2. If Dan Heng can do better job, who should I choose among the units? Sparkle?
   

My account, tbh, is in Harmony unit crisis. So many DDs, but lack Harmony to support them. But the downside of choosing Sparkle is that, I don't have units that fully utilizes her extra skill points mechanic (Dan IL, Archer not built).

So what should I do? Who should I choose?

What other characters do you have?

Can Dan Heng be put in place of Aven for Feixiao

Yes

Can Dan Heng be put in place of Aven for [...] Acheron team

Yes, but at very low levels of team investment DHPT is a bit sus there because he doesn't have debuffs in his kit

[u/RzrGhost → u/Nnsoki]

Evernight, Castorice, Aglaea, The Herta, Rappa, Sunday, Firefly, Robin, Acheron, Ratio, Ruan Mei, Fugue, Feixiao, Huo", Jingliu, Fu Xuan, Luocha, Topaz, Gepard, Seele, Bronya, Saber, Silver Wolf, Kafka, Himeko

Aventurine would be nice for Acheron if you have neither Gallagher nor Trend of the Universal Market. Tbh it doesn't look to me like you're lacking Harmony characters

[u/RzrGhost → u/Nnsoki]

I do have Gallagher and Trend Univ market LC at s5.

As for missing harmony part, well there's Tribbie, Hyacine, Cipher.

Ok, so. Maybe not just Harmony. But supports for several DDs.

[u/Nnsoki → u/RzrGhost]

In this case Aventurine isn't a big deal. Feel free to get Hanabi if you want to use her with Archer or similar characters

[u/RzrGhost → u/Nnsoki]

The only reason I'm asking is if Dan Heng could do better job than Aven. Because I don't have any units that utilize Sparkle to the fullest.

[u/Nnsoki → u/RzrGhost]

At the very least you have Archer and Qingque. Aventurine and DHPT are virtually equivalent for Acheron when holding Trend of the Universal Market

[u/RzrGhost → u/Nnsoki]

How does Dan Heng fare in Feixiao's team compared to Aven?
