Team Composition | |||
Joining as the newest character in Honkai: Star Rail's 2.1 update, marking the game's 1-year anniversary, Aventurine adds additional options to the otherwise relatively lacking Preservation path. He is the second limited character option following the release of Fu Xuan. Unlike Fu Xuan however, who focuses on damage mitigation without shields, Aventurine scales with DEF, similar to other Preservation characters. Additionally, he provides stackable shields, a unique aspect of his kit, and can also act as a sub-DPS thanks to his follow-up attack and Ultimate.

The Honkai: Star Rail stickers for Dreamscape Pass Chapter 13, Nobodys In the Big Dream, can mostly be found in the Dewlight Pavilion.
That being said, while he can fit into a variety of team compositions due to his support role, especially if players are lacking sustain characters, there are characters that particularly synergize with him, allowing for a more synchronized team composition. He is best suited to certain characters like Acheron or Dr. Ratio, although players can essentially utilize him with a variety of DPS characters, particularly in debuff or follow-up attack-focused teams. Furthermore, these two characters are one of the few, that allow Aventurine to make good use of "Trend of the Universal Market" light cone, as opposed to other light cone options. Here are some great examples of team compositions where players can find Aventurine fitting greatly in Honkai: Star Rail.
Aventurine + Acheron + Pela + Silver Wolf
As Aventurine is able to apply the Unnerved debuff on an enemy, he can be particularly helpful for building up Crimson Knot stacks for Acheron, enabling her to activate her Ultimate as often as possible while also serving as an excellent support for the team. Nevertheless, it is recommended that players also ensure to utilize two more Nihility characters with Acheron to gain the maximum amount of benefits and for consistent stack generation. Considering that both Pela and Silver Wolf are not very heavy on skill point management, this team composition also allows Aventurine to stack shields more consistently if needed. Alternatively, if players have a highly invested Sparkle, she can also replace Pela, especially if players have access to Acheron's E2 or simply want to utilize a skill point-positive character that can significantly buff Acheron.
Aventurine + Acheron + Black Swan + Kafka
Acheron, Black Swan, and Kafka, as three Nihility characters, have a unique synergy that allows all of them to function as both DPS and Sub-DPS without a significant hypercarry character. This is achieved through the effective application of damage over time (DoT) effects by Black Swan and Kafka, which Acheron can utilize to enable her Ultimate ability more frequently. In this team composition, Aventurine's synergy may not be as prominent as with other team that includes Acheron, but he still serves as an excellent sustain character, particularly for players who enjoy a DoT-oriented playstyle.
Aventurine + Dr. Ratio + Topaz + Ruan Mei
Players who have progressed through the Penacony story may have noticed the unique interaction between Aventurine and Dr. Ratio. However, this synergy extends beyond the storyline, as these two characters can actually complement each other well in a follow-up oriented team composition. Aventurine's Unnerved debuff can increase Dr. Ratio's chances of triggering a follow-up attack, while Dr. Ratio's follow-up attacks can, in turn, help Aventurine trigger follow-up attacks more frequently.
Honkai: Star Rail – Every Preservation Character, Ranked
To shield and protect is the primary role of Preservation characters in Honkai: Star Rail.
To further enhance the strength of follow-up attacks, Topaz can serve as an excellent support and sub-DPS in this scenario. Her utility allows her to increase the entire team's follow-up attack capabilities. As for the last slot, while it is more flexible, Ruan Mei is the best choice due to her buffs that benefit the team greatly in this scenario. While this team composition may seem to require investment, as it consists of all 5-star characters, players can opt to replace Topaz or Ruan Mei with other options for a more F2P-friendly approach.
Aventurine + Dr. Ratio + Welt + Yukong
Another team composition that features Dr. Ratio and Aventurine revolves around a mono-Imaginary setup, which is notably more F2P-friendly, especially if players have acquired Welt from the standard gacha pool. Welt can assist Dr. Ratio by applying a slow debuff, but he can be substituted with other debuff-oriented characters like Silver Wolf for those aiming to maximize the team's potential, even against enemies lacking an Imaginary weakness initially. In this setup, Yukong proves to be the optimal support choice. As the sole Imaginary Harmony character, Yukong provides additional buffs such as Crit Rate, Crit DMG, and ATK boosts, especially when players pay close attention to the action order.
Aventurine + Herta + Asta + Himeko
Another relatively F2P-friendly team composition that utilizes characters other than Dr. Ratio or Acheron involves pairing Aventurine with Herta. If players are fortunate enough to have Himeko, this synergy is further enhanced, particularly in content like Pure Fiction where the Erudition path or characters capable of AoE attacks are highly valued. While Aventurine typically focuses on single-target damage, his ability to simultaneously deal damage while providing sustain sets him apart from other support characters that are more focused on buffs or strictly sustaining the team.
