Aglaea is a good Lightning DPS who can deal AoE damage together with her memosprite, Garmentmaker.
We recommend pulling for Aglaea if you have Sunday, whose skill can turn advance both Aglaea and Garmentmaker. While you can still play her without Sunday, having him will greatly improve Aglaea's performance so it's recommended to pull for both of them if you want to invest in Aglaea.

Sunday is an excellent support for DPS characters with Summons and as a hypercarry for DPS in general. His Skill gives your DPS and their Summon an extra turn and increases their DMG while his Ultimate gives them Energy and increases their CRIT DMG.
We highly recommend pulling for Sunday if you need a character who can advance Summons or if you need other offensive buffs for your hypercarry team.

Saber is a strong Destruction DPS who can deal high amounts of Skill and Ultimate DMG. While technical to use, Saber can be super effective in all Endgame content if used optimally.
Pull for Saber if you really like her have units that provide turn advance like Sunday or Bronya, or units that restore energy like Huohuo. If you already have a strong Wind DPS, you can consider skipping Saber.
Do note that once Saber's Banner has ended, Saber will be gone forever.

Archer is a free Hunt DPS that specializes in single-target Skill DMG. The real question is whether or not his Eidolons are worth investing on.
Archer's Eidolons will provide quality of life upgrades for his Skill usage at E1 and damage upgrades from E2 onwards. This is great to pull for if you don't plan on pulling Sparkle for Archer.
At E0, Archer is already a strong DPS, but he requires the best Supports for his teams or Eidolons as a solo unit.

Best Light Cones and Tier List

Time Woven Into Gold provides Remembrance characters with CRIT DMG, SPD, as well as a boost to Basic ATK DMG.
However, this Light Cone is only good for Aglaea since she is the only Remembrance DPS who mainly relies on Basic ATKs.
Time Woven Into Gold Best Characters

A Grounded Ascent provides Harmony characters with consistent Energy regen provided that they have a single-target Skill or Ultimate. It also gives them access to the Hymn buff, which is great for increasing the damage of the target ally.
However, this Light Cone only excels for characters with single-target Skills or Ultimates in their kit since they can easily stack the Hymn effect fully. If the character doesn't have single-target Skills or Ultimates, other Harmony Light Cones would perform better.
A Grounded Ascent Best Characters

A Thankless Coronation is amazing for Saber since it provides her DMG, gives her bonus ATK, and her much needed Energy Regen.
While this is Saber's best-in-slot, other Light Cones such as Thus Burns the Dawn or On the Fall of an Aeon should suffice if you're saving up for other characters.
A Thankless Coronation Best Characters

The Hell Where Ideals Burn is Archer's best Light Cone since it provides a permanent CRIT Rate buff and boosts his ATK through Skill Usage. This Light Cone can be easily attained if you plan on pulling in the Version 3.4 banners.
If you plan on saving your Stellar Jades, you can skip this Light Cone since other 5-star Light Cones are usable on Archer. If you want to invest on Archer, we recommend getting his Light Cone!
The Hell Where Ideals Burn Best Characters

Honkai: Star Rail follows the exact same pity rules as Genshin Impact. Characters are guaranteed to appear after 90 pulls while Light Cones only need 80 pulls.

After 300 rolls in the Stellar Warp Banner, players are eligible for a 5-star Selector. This is only available once per account so choose wisely!

Like in Genshin Impact, pity in Character and Light Cone Event Banners carries over so your pulls are not exactly wasted.
| Example of Pity Carrying Over |

Depending on your pull, the door behind Pom-Pom will glow in different colors. If you did a 10-pull, the highest rarity color is prioritized.

"Take note that if you get a 5-star earlier than 50 pulls, you will not get another 5-star on your 50th pull. " That's not necessarily true. Let it be known, you can get an extra 5 star after you get your guaranteed one.
