Honkai Star Rail’s new Erudition 5-star is Rappa and she is a Galaxy Ranger. Like Boothill, she is also a Break Damage focused character but with more AoE capabilities. She can be a very strong DPS unit and is quite free-to-play friendly. Rappa’s best build is only good when she is played in the correct teams. Here are the top 5 Rappa teams, each with the best the alternative characters for her, so that you can destroy any enemy you come across with her easily.
5. Rappa F2P Friendly Team
| Priority | Support | Sub DPS/Support | Sustain |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best Partners | Harmony Trailblazer | Hunt March 7th | Gallagher |
| Alternatives | Tingyun, Asta | Xueyi | Lynx |
Rappa is one of few free-2-play friendly 5-star units in the game as you can find some really good 4-star allies for her team. The best 4-star characters for her F2P team would be Harmony Trailblazer, Hunt March 7th and Gallagher. If you don’t have them built, then you can also Tingyun, Asta as supports, Xueyi as a sub-DPS and Lynx as sustain replacement. Overall, the best F2P team with Rappa, Harmony Trailblazer, Hunt March 7th, and Gallagher is strong enough to tackle the hardest challenges in HSR.
4. Rappa Hyper Carry Team
| Priority | Support | Support | Sustain |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best Partners | Ruan Mei | Bronya | Huohuo |
| Alternatives | Tingyun | Sparkle | Fu Xuan |
Rappa is mainly a Break DPS, but you can also build a Hyper Carry team for her. This team might not be her best option, but you can still deal a fair amount of damage with the above characters. The best characters for this Rappa team will have Ruan Mei, Bronya and Huohuo. Ruan Mei is arguably the best support for most Hypercarry teams and she works really well with Break DPS units. Other than that, Bronya is always a great option and Huohuo will give the extra energy required for Rappa to stay in her Sealform state. You can also use Tingyun, Sparkle as Supports and Fu Xuan as Sustain.
3. Rappa Pure Fiction Team
| Priority | Sub DPS/Support | Sub DPS/Support | Sustain |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best Partners | Ruan Mei | Herta | Lingsha |
| Alternatives | Jade | Himeko | Gallagher |
Rappa is also a great DPS for Pure Fiction and you can build her team specially for it. This team will excel with Ruan Mei as Support, Herta as Sub-DPS and Lingsha as Sustain. Other than that, you can also use Jade as she works pretty well with Erudition characters. Himeko is also a great option as Rappa will constantly break enemy weaknesses regardless of their weakness type. If you don’t have Lingsha, you can also use Gallagher as a Sustain.
2. Rappa Mono Imaginary Team
| Priority | Support | Sub DPS/Support | Sustain |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best Partners | Harmony Trailblazer | Hunt March 7th | Aventurine |
| Alternatives | Yukong | Welt | Luocha |
Another best Rappa team is the mono Imaginary team. This team excels against Imaginary Weakness enemies, and is not very hard to build. Sadly, the performance of this team drastically decreases against enemies of other Weakness type, but that’s why it’s a specialized team. The best allies for Rappa in this team would be Harmony Trailblazer as support, Hunt March 7th as sub-DPS and Aventurine as Sustain. You can also use Yukong at support, although that is a big step down from Harmony Trailblazer. Welt can also be used for Hunt March 7th and Luocha is another great sustain option for this team.
1. Rappa Break Team
| Priority | Support | Support | Sustain |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best Partners | Harmony Trailblazer | Ruan Mei | Lingsha |
| Alternatives | Tingyun | Asta | Gallagher |
The best Rappa team will be a Break focused team as Rappa’s best build will be centered around Break Damage. In this team, the best allies for her, will be Ruan Mei and Harmony Trailblazer as supports, and Lingsha as Sustain. After version 2.7, you can also use Fugue (5-star Tingyun) over Harmony Trailblazer to further strengthen this team. As alternatives, you can use the 4-star Tingyun, Asta, and Gallagher, although that would be a big drop off in damage.
