For the historical Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.7 pull decision, Beebom ranked Castorice first, followed by Phainon, Hyacine, Tribbie, Cyrene, Mydei and Cipher. That order was published for the update announced as As Tomorrow Became Yesterday, released on November 5, 2025; it is an editorial ranking, not an official HoYoverse tier list or a statement of what is available in 2026.
The practical answer depends on your account. Castorice is the broadest high-priority choice when you can use her damage and revive utility, Phainon is the safest general damage recommendation, Hyacine matters most when your teams lack sustain, Tribbie is the flexible support pick, and the lower-ranked specialists become more attractive only when their preferred teams already exist. Use the ranking as a starting point, then choose the character who fills your largest role or synergy gap.
What does the Version 3.7 ranking actually measure?
Beebom’s list evaluates the seven characters by general performance and expected future potential. It is not a HoYoverse ranking, a measured clear-time chart, or a guarantee that the first character is the best use of every player’s Stellar Jade. No damage percentages, usage rates, clear rates or controlled test results were published with the ranking, so the positions should be read as editorial guidance.
There is also an important date boundary. HoYoverse announced Version 3.7, titled As Tomorrow Became Yesterday, for November 5, 2025. Banner order, rerun timing and availability belong to that version window. A character’s position here should not be read as a statement that the same banner is live now or that a rerun will follow a particular schedule.
| Rank | Character | Beebom’s central case | Best account fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Castorice | Unusual account-wide revive utility and strong damage in the right team | Players who can support her and want a high-impact damage option with extra recovery utility |
| 2 | Phainon | Broadly useful damage dealer | Accounts seeking another generally applicable source of damage |
| 3 | Hyacine | Most compelling when sustain is needed or when paired with Castorice or Evernight | Teams that survive poorly or already include the characters that improve her appeal |
| 4 | Tribbie | Flexible across many teams | Players who value a support that can fit more than one composition |
| 5 | Cyrene | Narrower Chrysos Heir synergy and higher investment concerns | Players deliberately building that synergy and willing to invest more |
| 6 | Mydei | Lower priority when stronger alternatives are already available | Players who specifically prefer Mydei or lack the alternatives considered in the ranking |
| 7 | Cipher | Useful for an established follow-up attack team, such as a Feixiao team | Accounts with the required follow-up core rather than new or unbuilt rosters |
The table describes the reasoning behind the published order, not a promise that every account will experience the same value. Team construction, existing characters, survival needs, investment capacity and personal preference can all move a lower-ranked character above a higher-ranked one for you.
How should you choose between the seven characters?
Start with the role your account is missing instead of starting with the number beside a name. A new damage dealer has limited practical value if your roster already has reliable damage but cannot keep teams alive; conversely, a sustain character may not solve a problem if your main teams already survive comfortably.
1. Identify the role gap
- Need damage: Compare Phainon’s broad damage appeal with Castorice’s higher-ceiling, team-dependent case.
- Need sustain: Hyacine moves up when survival is the limiting factor.
- Need a flexible enabler: Tribbie is the list’s general-purpose support option.
- Have a defined specialist team: Cyrene and Cipher become more sensible when their named synergies are already present.
2. Check the characters you already own
Look at the complete team, not just the featured five-star. Beebom’s examples are conditional: Hyacine is especially compelling in Castorice or Evernight teams, while Cipher makes more sense in an established follow-up attack composition such as Feixiao’s. Cyrene’s appeal is tied more narrowly to Chrysos Heir synergy. If you do not have the surrounding pieces, the ranking’s headline position may overstate the value to your account.
3. Set an investment ceiling
Decide how many pulls and how much building effort you are willing to spend before choosing. The ranking describes Cyrene as carrying higher investment concerns, so she is a poorer impulse choice for a player who wants an immediately complete team. A specialist can still be the right answer when you enjoy the character and intend to build the supporting roster, but that is a deliberate project rather than a universally efficient pick.
4. Separate account value from character preference
Beebom explicitly warns readers not to let its order override personal preference. In a live-service game, using your resources on a character you enjoy is a valid outcome even when that character sits below a more flexible option. Treat the ranking as a way to understand trade-offs, not as a requirement to pull the number-one entry.
Why is Castorice ranked first?
Castorice is Beebom’s top Version 3.7 recommendation because the article combines two kinds of value: strong damage when she has the right team and unusual account-wide revive utility. That combination can matter more than raw damage alone for players whose difficult content is decided by a single defeat or by the need to recover from mistakes.
Who benefits most from Castorice?
She is the strongest starting point for an account that can provide her the team support she expects and wants a damage dealer with an additional safety function. The “right team” qualification matters: the ranking does not claim that Castorice performs identically in every composition. If your roster cannot supply the synergy she needs, Phainon’s broader damage profile may be a less conditional use of your pulls.
When should you pass on Castorice?
Pass when your account already has the damage and recovery tools you need, or when obtaining her would leave the rest of the team unfinished. A first-place editorial rank cannot account for your pity state, available resources or preferred playstyle. Pulling a character without the pieces that make the recommendation work can produce less account value than taking a lower-ranked role-completer.
Is Phainon the safest general damage choice?
Among the seven entries, Phainon is the broadly useful damage-dealer recommendation. Beebom places him second because he offers a less specialized reason to pull than Castorice: an account looking for another strong damage option can consider him without first committing to a narrow named synergy.
What kind of roster fits Phainon?
Phainon suits players whose immediate problem is damage rather than sustain or a particular team engine. He is a sensible comparison point whenever Castorice’s team requirements are difficult to meet. That does not make him automatically better; it means his case is easier to apply to a general roster.
What is the main reason not to pull him?
If your account already has enough dependable damage dealers, adding another one may not change what you can clear. In that situation, Hyacine’s sustain, Tribbie’s flexibility or a specialist that completes an existing composition can have greater practical value, even though those characters appear below Phainon in the editorial order.
When is Hyacine a higher priority than the ranking suggests?
Hyacine is Beebom’s third-ranked character, but she can be the most useful choice for an account whose teams fail because they cannot stay alive. The article highlights her sustain role and gives two specific synergy cases: Castorice teams and Evernight teams.
Choose Hyacine for a survival bottleneck
Review failed attempts and ask what actually ended them. If characters are consistently defeated before your damage rotation finishes, a sustain upgrade addresses the cause more directly than another damage dealer. This is an account-value decision, not a claim that Hyacine is universally stronger than the two characters above her.
Check for Castorice or Evernight synergy
Hyacine’s recommendation is particularly compelling when one of those team contexts already exists. If neither is part of your plans, compare her with Tribbie or with the damage option that solves your immediate roster problem. The ranking supplies the synergy examples; it does not establish that every possible team will value her equally.
Historical sustain context
HoYoverse’s Version 3.6 announcement said that players at Trailblaze Level 3 or above could claim Dan Heng • Permansor Terrae during a specified update period. That was a time-limited historical offer, not a current guarantee or a reason to assume every 3.7 player owns the character. It is relevant only as context for why a player’s existing sustain roster could differ from another player’s when evaluating Hyacine.
Why is Tribbie the flexible support pick?
Tribbie sits fourth because Beebom describes her as flexible across many teams rather than tied to one narrow composition. For an account with several partially built teams, that breadth can be more useful than a specialist whose value appears only after a particular core is assembled.
When does flexibility matter?
Flexibility matters when you switch teams between modes, want one character to improve multiple lineups, or are still developing your roster. Tribbie is a candidate when your account has enough damage and sustain but lacks a support that can travel between compositions. Her rank should not be interpreted as a measured comparison against every support already in the game; it is Beebom’s assessment of her cross-team appeal.
When is another character better?
Choose a damage dealer instead if damage is the clear blocker, or choose Hyacine if survival is the blocker. If your account is built around a named specialist synergy, Cyrene or Cipher may produce a larger improvement despite having narrower general use.
Who should consider Cyrene despite her fifth-place rank?
Cyrene is a targeted pull for players building around Chrysos Heir synergy. Beebom places her fifth because that narrower use case and the article’s higher investment concerns make her less universally efficient than the characters above her.
What should you own before pulling?
First confirm that Chrysos Heir synergy is a genuine plan for your roster, not simply a future possibility. Then check whether you can afford the additional investment the team may require. If both answers are yes and you like Cyrene, her lower rank does not invalidate the pull; it describes the cost of choosing a focused option over a broad one.
Who should skip her for now?
Skip or postpone Cyrene when you need an immediately useful general character, have no intention of building the associated synergy, or are operating with a very limited pull budget. A specialist is usually hardest to justify when the account still lacks a basic damage, support or sustain foundation.
Is Mydei worth pulling when stronger alternatives exist?
Mydei is sixth in Beebom’s order because the article considers him a lower priority when better alternatives are available. That is a comparative judgment, not a statement that he has no use or that every player should avoid him.
When can Mydei move up your list?
Mydei can move up when you prefer him, when the higher-ranked characters do not address your account’s needs, or when your roster has a specific opening that he fills. Personal attachment is a legitimate reason to select him; the ranking is intended to help with an uncertain choice, not erase player preference.
What should you compare before spending?
Compare the finished team you could field after pulling Mydei with the finished teams available from Phainon, Castorice, Hyacine or Tribbie. Include the build materials and supporting characters you already have. If the alternative produces a complete team while Mydei would remain unbuilt, the nominal rank difference becomes a practical resource difference.
When does Cipher make sense?
Cipher is seventh, but Beebom gives a clear situation in which the pull can be sensible: an established follow-up attack team, with Feixiao’s team offered as an example. Her value is therefore highly dependent on what is already in your account.
Pull Cipher for an existing follow-up core
Check that the team is already functional before spending. If you have the follow-up attackers, a clear rotation and the resources to build Cipher, a specialist improvement can be more meaningful than adding an unrelated damage dealer. This is the strongest case the ranking identifies for her.
Why is she last for a general roster?
A new or incomplete account may not have enough follow-up infrastructure to benefit immediately. In that circumstance, a broadly useful damage dealer, flexible support or sustain character is easier to deploy. Seventh means “lowest general priority in this editorial list,” not “never pull.”
Which character is best for each account situation?
The following decision table converts the ranking into account questions. It does not replace the individual character analysis; it shows why the order can change when your roster changes.
| Your main problem | First characters to compare | Why | Key caveat |
|---|---|---|---|
| You want a generally useful damage dealer | Phainon, then Castorice | Phainon is described as broadly useful; Castorice adds revive utility and higher team dependence | Do not add damage if survival is what stops your clears |
| You need sustain | Hyacine | Her primary case is team survival, with extra appeal in Castorice or Evernight teams | Check which sustain units you already own, including any historical event acquisition |
| You want one support for several teams | Tribbie | Her defining advantage in the ranking is flexibility | Compare her with the damage or sustain role your account actually lacks |
| You are building Chrysos Heir synergy | Cyrene | Her narrow synergy is the reason to select her | Expect a higher investment commitment according to Beebom’s assessment |
| You already run a follow-up attack team | Cipher | She is specifically positioned for established teams such as Feixiao’s | Without that core, her seventh-place general priority matters more |
| You simply want a favorite | Any character | Preference is a valid pull criterion | Understand the team and resource trade-off before committing |
How do Version 3.7 banner odds and guarantees work?
Do not use a universal pull-count promise to plan for a 3.7 character. HoYoverse Help Center states: “The number of Wishes required to obtain a 5 star Character or Weapon depends on the probability of the featured Character Event/Weapon Event Banner.” It directs players to the in-game Wish > Details section for the rules that apply to the live banner.
HoYoverse also says that “Characters obtained from the Warp System are based on the rates and probabilities listed on the Character Banner.” Those statements mean the displayed banner information is the authority for rates and mechanics. Outcomes are not customized to your account, and no article can promise that a particular number of Wishes will produce the featured character.
Use the in-game details before pulling
- Open the current Character Event Warp in Honkai: Star Rail.
- Select Details to read the displayed rates, rules and guarantee information for that banner.
- Check your available Stellar Jade, passes and existing pity or guarantee status in the game’s own interface.
- Decide whether the character solves a role gap or completes a team you can actually build.
- Pull only after accounting for the possibility that the desired result may require more Wishes than your current balance.
Because Version 3.7 was a November 2025 release window, players reading this guide later should verify which rerun, if any, is currently available. The ranking cannot establish a future banner date.
What is the most sensible pull plan for a limited account?
A limited account should treat every pull as an opportunity cost. Use this sequence to avoid spending on a character whose value depends on resources you do not have.
- List your two main teams. Record each team’s damage source, support pieces and sustain rather than counting five-stars in isolation.
- Mark the first failure point. Decide whether attempts fail from insufficient damage, defeated characters, missing support or an unfinished specialist composition.
- Match the failure to the ranking. Consider Phainon or Castorice for damage, Hyacine for sustain, Tribbie for broad support, Cyrene for Chrysos Heir synergy and Cipher for a functioning follow-up team.
- Remove characters that require unavailable pieces. A theoretical synergy is not the same as a team you can field now.
- Set a stopping rule. Keep enough resources for future characters you value and do not treat an editorial rank as a guarantee of the result.
- Recheck the live banner. Read Wish > Details immediately before spending because rates, guarantee rules and availability are version-specific.
What should you remember about this historical ranking?
Castorice is the list’s headline recommendation, but “best” means best according to Beebom’s combination of performance and future-potential judgment, not best for every account. Phainon is the broad damage alternative; Hyacine is the survival-focused choice; Tribbie is the flexible support; Cyrene and Cipher reward specific synergies; and Mydei is the lower-priority option when stronger alternatives are available.
The most durable rule is to fill the role your account lacks, then check whether you can build the required team. Finally, confirm the live banner’s details in the game and pull for a character you genuinely want. Version 3.7’s order is useful context for its November 5, 2025 release, not a permanent or official ranking.
Frequently Asked Questions
Was this Version 3.7 tier list made by HoYoverse?
No. The order came from Beebom’s November 4, 2025 editorial article. HoYoverse announced the version and its title, but it did not publish this seven-character ranking.
What if I missed the original Version 3.7 banners?
This guide cannot predict a rerun date. Check the Character Event Warp screen in your current game version; a character discussed here is pullable only when HoYoverse places that character on an active banner.
Should free-to-play players avoid the lower-ranked characters?
Not automatically. Free-to-play players should be stricter about role gaps, existing teammates and build costs, but a favorite character or a specialist that completes an owned team can still be a rational long-term choice.
Where can I see the exact pity and rate rules before wishing?
Open the live Character Event Warp and choose Wish, then Details. HoYoverse identifies that in-game panel as the place to read the rates and probabilities governing the current banner.
