Cover-Credits:
Honkai Star Rail patch 1.5 will introduce two new 5-star characters - Argenti and Huohuo. Argenti is a DPS character who relies on follow-up attacks to deal a bunch of damage that scales with how much energy you sacrifice. Huohuo on the other hand is a sustain character who competes with the likes of Luocha and Bailu and has energy regeneration and ATK% buffs for your team.

Ultimately, the decision of whether to pull for Huohuo or Argenti is up to you. If you're looking for a strong healer, Huohuo is a great choice. If you're looking for a strong DPS character, Argenti is a great choice. If you do not have Gepard, Bailu, Fu Xuan, or Luocha, we recommend checking out Huohuo’s post-release impressions from content creators. Having powerful sustain units is valuable and with no Abundance character announced for the next few patches, she might be the better option next patch.
