HSR Best Team for Himeko,Rin and Gilgamesh in V4.4

Honkai: Star Rail Version 4.4 brings three major team-building focuses: Himeko Nova, Rin Tohsaka, and Gilgamesh. This guide covers the best teams for all three characters, including premium, alternative, and F2P options so different types of players can find a usable setup.

Himeko Nova prefers frequent actions and Astral Express-style synergy, Rin works best around Archer and Skill Point control, and Gilgamesh can either lean into Saber synergy or play as a simpler hypercarry.

Best Himeko Team HSR

Himeko Nova is built around frequent damage opportunities, making her strongest teams different from a simple one-shot Erudition setup. The best HSR Himeko team should help her act more often, trigger more damage windows, and stay stable across longer fights.

The key point with Himeko Nova is that she is not just looking for random buffs. She gains more value when the team includes Astral Express or Trailblaze Companion synergy, but she does not need every slot to be locked into that theme. In most cases, one strong synergy piece plus action support, buffs, and sustain will feel better than forcing a full themed lineup.

Premium
Himeko Nova / Sunday / Dan Heng Permansor Terrae / Robin
Best for the highest ceiling and Astral Express synergy.
Alternative
Himeko Nova / Sunday / Welt / Flex Sustain
Better if Robin or Dan Heng is needed on another team.
F2P
Himeko Nova / Herta / Asta / Gallagher
Low-cost AoE pressure with Speed support and stable healing.

Team
Himeko NovaHimeko Nova SundaySunday Dan Heng Permansor TerraeDan Heng Permansor Terrae RobinRobin

This is the premium Himeko Nova team for players who want her strongest overall performance. Sunday helps improve action flow and makes Himeko's rotation smoother, while Dan Heng Permansor Terrae gives the team a strong Astral Express synergy piece and extra defensive value.

Robin completes the lineup with powerful team-wide damage buffs. This setup is expensive, but it gives Himeko a strong mix of action support, Astral Express synergy, damage amplification, and enough stability to keep her damage cycle active.

Team: Himeko Nova / Sunday / Welt / Flex Sustain

This alternative HSR Himeko team keeps Sunday as the main action support but swaps the rest of the lineup into a more flexible structure. Welt adds control and debuff value, which can help Himeko maintain a safer rotation in stages where delaying enemies matters.

The last slot is a flex sustain slot. Huohuo, Aventurine, and Gallagher are all easy examples, but any reliable healer or shielder you already have built can work. This team is useful for players who want a strong Himeko Nova setup but need to save Robin or Dan Heng Permansor Terrae for another side of endgame content.

Best Rin Team HSR

Rin Tohsaka is one of the main Fate collaboration characters in Version 4.4. The best HSR Rin team should support her AoE damage while also managing action order and skill point usage. This is especially important if you pair Rin with Archer, since both characters can create pressure on the team's rotation.

For Rin, Archer is the most important partner to consider first. Her teams feel much better when Archer is included, because he adds extra damage and helps complete her intended Fate collaboration core. After that, the remaining slots are more flexible: Sparkle is preferred if you need smoother Skill Point flow, while Huohuo, Lingsha, Gallagher, or another reliable sustain can be chosen based on how much healing, energy, or safety your account needs.

Rin Tohsaka
Quick Pick: Rin Tohsaka Teams
Rin works best when Archer synergy and Skill Point flow are both covered.
Premium
Rin / Archer / Sparkle / Huohuo
Best if you want the cleanest SP flow and strongest Archer pairing.
Alternative
Rin / Archer / Tribbie / Lingsha
Good for players who already built Tribbie and Lingsha.
F2P
Rin / Archer / Harmony Trailblazer / Gallagher
A lower-cost Fate core with accessible support and healing.
SP Tip: Rin and Archer can both pressure Skill Points. Sparkle is the cleanest upgrade if you own her.

Team: Rin / Archer / Sparkle / Huohuo

Team
RinRin ArcherArcher SparkleSparkle HuohuoHuohuo

This premium Rin team follows the strongest Archer core. Rin is built around Gem Energy and Skill Point movement, while Archer helps trigger her joint follow-up attack and adds strong secondary damage. Sparkle is the cleanest third slot because she restores SP, improves action flow, and keeps the team's SP engine running.

Huohuo provides healing and energy support, which is especially valuable because Rin has a high Ultimate cost. This setup is best for players who want to maximize Rin's performance while also fully using her intended synergy with Archer.

Team: Rin / Archer / Tribbie / Lingsha

Team
RinRin ArcherArcher TribbieTribbie LingshaLingsha

This alternative Rin team keeps Archer as the main partner but swaps Sparkle and Huohuo for a more burst-oriented support and sustain pair. Tribbie gives extra Quantum support, while Lingsha keeps the team alive and adds her own utility.

This version is useful for players who already invested in Tribbie or Lingsha and want a more specialized setup. It is less universally comfortable than Sparkle plus Huohuo, but it still supports Rin and Archer's shared SP-based game plan.

Team: Rin / Archer / Harmony Trailblazer / Gallagher

Team
RinRin ArcherArcher Harmony TrailblazerHarmony Trailblazer GallagherGallagher

This F2P Rin team is built around the Fate collaboration core. Rin handles AoE pressure, while Archer adds extra damage and helps the team perform better against tougher single targets. This gives the team a more balanced damage profile instead of relying only on Rin's AoE output.

Harmony Trailblazer provides accessible support, making the team easier to build for players who do not own multiple limited Harmony units. Gallagher keeps the team alive and can help maintain a smoother skill point economy.

The main thing to watch is skill point usage. Rin and Archer can both want active turns, so players who own Sparkle can treat her as a strong upgrade over Harmony Trailblazer. For a lower-cost setup, however, Harmony Trailblazer and Gallagher keep the team playable without requiring more limited supports.

Best Gilgamesh Team HSR

Gilgamesh works best as a burst-focused damage dealer who relies on strong team support to maximize his damage windows. The best HSR Gilgamesh team should help him maintain consistent rotations, increase his burst damage, and provide enough survivability during longer fights.

For Version 4.4, Saber is the first partner to consider if you want to fully utilize Gilgamesh's Fate collaboration synergy. Their shared mechanics create additional damage opportunities and give Gilgamesh a stronger team identity compared with a standard hypercarry setup.

The remaining support slots are more flexible depending on your roster. Sunday is a strong option for players who want smoother action cycles and better turn control, while Mortenax Blade focuses more on offensive amplification and increasing Gilgamesh's burst potential. Huohuo and Lingsha are reliable sustain choices that can provide healing and additional utility.

5.  Should I pull Himeko Nova, Rin, or Gilgamesh in Version 4.4?

It depends on your account and the teams you want to build. Himeko Nova is a good choice for players who enjoy AoE and follow-up attack gameplay, especially those who can take advantage of Astral Express synergy in Version 4.4. Rin Tohsaka is a stronger consideration for players interested in the Fate collaboration, as her best teams gain significant value from pairing her with Archer. Gilgamesh is more dependent on team investment. Players who already have or plan to build around Saber can get more value from his Fate synergy, while players looking for a more flexible damage dealer may find other options easier to use.

Conclusion

Honkai: Star Rail Version 4.4 gives players three very different team-building directions. Himeko Nova works best with action support and AoE partners, Rin wants Archer and strong SP support, and Gilgamesh either leans into Saber synergy or plays as a simpler hypercarry.
