In Honkai Star Rail, there are seven Paths or elements, each of them offers different features and advantages. For example, Ice characters can freeze their enemies, rendering them unable to attack. One of the most interesting elements in Honkai Star Rail is Lightning. 

Lightning characters can apply Shock debuff and do damage in the first turn of battles. There are quite a bunch of great Lightning characters in Honkai Star Rail so far, and here are the current best Lightning characters in the game.

Honkai Star Rail: Best Lightning Characters

5. Arlan

Arlan possesses skills that help him dish out a decent amount of damage even though there are no extra effects, only direct damage. Arlan's talent is also very useful as it allows him to increase his attack damage when he runs out of HP. If you get Eidolon Arlan, you can get a very large additional strength. With the second Eidolon, he gains the ability to clear himself of debuffs and protect him from falls.

4. Serval

As a 4-Star character, Serval is the character with the highest base ATK in Honkai Star Rail. She's of Path Erudition, which means she has the ability to generate multi-target damage to enemies. But that's not all, Serval's ability also grants a higher chance of applying Lightning Dot to enemies who are hit by her total ATK. Her Ultimate also increases her Dots turn by 2, which allows her to passively continue to damage enemies.

3. Bailu

Bailu is one of the best healers in Honkai Star Rail, one of the characters that you'd love to have on your team. Bailu can heal multiple allies randomly based on her Max HP. She can provide a generous amount of healing to allies since Bailu's HP base is the current highest in the game. Bailu can also provide the Invigoration buff when using Elemental Burst or Elemental Technique, so that when allies are hit by an attack, they can passively receive healing from Bailu.

Her most unique ability is that she can revive fallen allies without losing their buffs or momentum. Bailu's Trace can also increase the team's survivability by increasing their Max HP and giving an Invigoration effect to reduce damage received by 10%.

2. Tingyun

One of the best things about this Honkai Star Rail character is her incredible Base SPD. This is arguably the most crucial stat that every character of the Harmony path must have since they tend to initiate the first attack in battles. Tingyun provides her team members the Benediction buff, which grants boost to their ATK and allows them to dish out Lightning damage. Her great potential as a buffer is evident with her Ultimate, which causes targeted allies to regenerate energy and gain a large damage buff.

1. Jing Yuan

His fighting style revolves around follow-up attacks, which he performs with his Lightning Lord. This is triggered automatically if you look at the attack sequence at the top left of the game. The base SPD for his Lightning Lord is low at 60, meaning it will take a while before you can use it. But players can add 10 SPD for each stack of Lightning Lord hits Jing Yuan has. Apart from increasing his SPD, the stack also increases the number of hits taken by the Lightning Lord.

It starts with three stacks, which will increase by two stacks when Jing Yuan uses his skill, and three more stacks after casting his Ultimate. Lightning Lord can stack up to 10 stacks, which is capped at 130 SPD and 10 hits. But the stack resets after casting the Lightning Lord, meaning you'll need to re-stack afterwards.

So, those were the current best Lightning characters in Honkai Star Rail according to Dunia Games.
