✦ Introduction ✦
This article has Honkai v6.0 Tier List with a collection of Valkyrie Overview Cards to help players get a quick, concise review of each valkyrie, team, equipment, and examples of Elysian Realm build.
- For more detailed guides for each valkyrie, check this collection (only certain valks available): https://www.hoyolab.com/creatorCollection/67112 Yup, some of the old valkyrie guides have been updated for version 6.0
- This guide is in the context of Exalted Abyss and SSS Arena bosses. SS Arena bosses are almost extinct + easy, while Elysian Realm mode is very very easy, just use whatever valk you like, so we don't really consider these two modes.
✦ A few words from Marisa Honkai ✦
(You can skip this if you don't care)
Last month, I started playing Genshin again. There were so many sites and resources for each character. Some sites were simple, clear, and organized, and I always come back to them whenever I need a quick reference. Then I look back to Honkai, we never really have such a place. I mean, I make guides, but I barely updated them for new patches, and my tier lists didn't have stuff like gears, instead, I direct them to my valkyrie guide.... which is not updated. And another problem is, I don't have a guide for every valk, because it takes time, and I certainly don't wanna bother with old valkyries like HoV and SN, but new players will keep asking 'Are they good?'
So that's the motivation
For the past week, I have been figuring out how to make a quick guide so that I won't waste too much time but can still make one for every valk and I can quickly update every patch. And that's where the Overview Cards came to play. I always make one for each valk guide in the past. I improved it, and added more spaces so I can include more information, like ER and more gears. And then I ask a few top players like Mimitsu and Neal, to help review the cards. This collection is something that I can update every patch and can be used by anyone who needs a quick reference.
I also updated my old valk guides on Hoyolab, mainly the overview, team, and recommendations. Also included more high-quality gameplay from Hzri (Memorial Arena + Redlotus)and Mimitsu (MA + Nirvana Abyss). I recommend both of them for consistent uploads. (and me!)
I did think to make it into site format like game8 or gamewith genshin guides, but it's just too costly. A web dev on my Discord, Alpaca, is making a Honkai site. Maybe I'll ask him to include these cards in there.
I will try to update this every patch, at least, until Honkai Part 1 ends. I don't really know what Part 2 has. I thought the game is gonna end and can finally move on to Star Rail. Even if I stop playing HI3, maybe I will try to make these with the help of people who are still playing.
✦ 6.0 Tier List ✦
PHYSICAL
While other elements got farmable supports over the year, Physical team is the only team left that depends on a gacha S-rank support Herrscher of Sentience to properly function. F2P can go three supports route for a budget Physical team. But Hoyoverse rewards you if you build a proper Physical team, because PE, BK, MPE and even support HoS have not been fully power crept since 2021 (Feb 2022 for PE). In Honkai, that is a very long time in meta compared to other elements.

ICE
In the past, ice teams were always the least desired team to build, because other elements had stronger, better valkyries. But 2022 is the year of the ice. We got Ice Herrscher, great ice cat support, and soon in 6.1, we'll be getting a new S-rank Ice support with elemental breach, and a Divine Key for Herrscher of Reason. There's no better time to invest in ice than now.
