Disable Ties and Undos?

Tip: Select Playable and Upcoming for all notable characters.
Welcome to the Honkai: Star Rail Character Sorter
Instructions
Choose which categories you want to include in your sorting and then press either Trailblazer to start. Selecting either, or both, Playable Characters and the Notable NPCs categories will cause the choosing process to be longer (roughly 30 minutes to an hour). After starting simply click between the two character shown that you like more, or, if you equally like both characters, you can select the "tie" option- if it's enabled anyways. Ties and Undos are disabled by default. All choices shown are randomly generated depending on your choices, I do not control the pairings. Once all choices have been completed, a list of your favorite characters will be automatically generated. Screenshot this if you'd like to keep it for future purposes as this site does not save information.
Notes
Categories: If you were to pick an Element Category (ie: Fire) and a Path Category (ie: Destruction)- you won't just get Destruction Fire characters (Firefly), but rather all Fire and all Destruction characters. Keep this in mind when choosing categories as this applies to all of them.
Upcoming Characters: Upcoming Characters are characters that have been announced as playable by HoYoverse, at some point in time. These characters will appear in all categories that apply to them.
Collaboration Characters: Characters that are featured in collaborations with the game and implemented in as units. These characters will only show up in this category and their respective Gender/Rarity/Path/Elements categories, they will not show up in any other category.
Character Alts: This is for all Playable characters that have a variant of themselves because there's too many of them and it makes it difficult to make a favorite character list (the point of this sorter) when you're asked to pick between two options of the same person. What counts and what doesn't is up to Admin's discretion. These characters will only show up in their respective Rarity/Path/Elements/Faction categories, they will not show up in any other category.
Notable NPCs: NPCs are included in this sorter because of Admin's hubris. They will be visible if you have this category selected and will not appear in any other category, unless part of a listed faction. Send a message if you want a specific NPC to be added (up to Admin's discretion). Do note if they have not been shown visually and only in text they cannot be added to the sorter.

Changelog
Upcoming Updates
(NEW!)
- (5/22/26) Currently looking into adding; a built-in save image button and a Progress Bar.
- Besides that, keeping up with character releases!
- There may be a delay for new characters to be added to the sorter. Please be patient and wait a few days (or up to a week) after drip happens for the sorter to be updated as HSR drip marketing happens across different days and I don't work for HoyoVerse.
- Major update!! First off, the sorter got a design update! I made it more uniformed and less ugly on mobile (while breaking stuff in the process hence why this took forever to release). Added themes!! More themes to come when the inspiration hits. Removed Eous from the corner and added a navigation for the sorter I've made as a replacement. You can now view the changelog and ask questions from the sorter page itself! Wrote a small FAQ section as well, so please read that before sending anything. I've opened an Odaibako as well so you can send questions there too! I've also set up a Neocities mirror as a backup! Source code got a major rehaul, it's more readable now.
- (21) Added [Planarcadia] and [Elation] as sorting options. Added [Yao Guang], [Sparxie], [Ashveil], and [Evanescia] to Playable and their respective rarity/path/element. Added [Silver Wolf LV.999], [Caelus • Elation], [Stelle • Elation], [Mortenax Blade], and [Himeko • Nova] to Character Alts and their respective rarity/path/element (plus Upcoming for Blade and Himeko). Added [Nihilux] to Notable NPCs and Planarcadia. Added [Pearl] to Planarcadia. Removed [Hysilens] and [Cerydra] from Notable NPCs (because I forgot to). Added [Sunday] to The Astral Express (yay). Changed images for [Firefly], [Sunday], [Robin], [Acheron], [Jiaoqiu], [The Dahlia], [Saber], and [Archer]. Changed Opal's image to his appearance in the Myriad Celestia Trailer (Anti-Destruction Alliance). Changed Elio's image to his appearance(?) in the Animation Concept Trailer (Death in the Afternoon). Added more Notable NPCs (Stephen Lloyd, Kuchiba, Furbulitzer, Paraprince, Furblix, Furli, Joolyon, Gopher Wood (Request), and all of the Lord Ravagers (Request)). Added [Akivili (Trailblaze)] to Aeons because we finally got an image for them.
- (22) Added [Rin Tohsaka] and [Gilgamesh] to Upcoming, Collaboration, and their respective rarity/path/element. Changed image for [Mortenax Blade]. I should've waited for the livestream before I updated this bro.
- (26) Font change from FF DIN Pro (actual font game uses, requires self-hosting to use) to Inter (font you can find on Google Fonts so no self hosting, looks similar enough) because I underestimated how much traffic this site gets (I got an email about it this morning...). I have decided to link a Ko-Fi widget to the sorter in the case I start having to pay to keep this running, do not feel pressured to donate if you don't have the means to, any donation is greatly appreciated however!
This is currently listing the latest changes because I'm too lazy to write the previous changes lol. Please look at the Tumblr post mirror for the previous changes for the time being.

Hello! You can send messages either thru Tumblr asks (form below the faq) or Odaibako (for the people without a Tumblr account). Both inboxes are checked every weekend, and I'll respond to anything that isn't rude or overly personal. Feedback is always welcomed!! Please note that all messages will be answered publicly. Also, please keep character hate and fandom/ship discourse outside of my inbox. I want no part in that and I will ignore it.

With all that said, here's the FAQ (Last Updated: 5/26/2026)

sorter is bricked for me..
Admin
Well, that's not good.
Admin
- Sorter only works if you have it open in a web browser! Both Android and iOS (mobile devices) can do the sorter, just open the link to the sorter in a web browser like Safari/Chrome/Firefox/etc. and then make sure you have [Desktop Site] on.
- To start the sorter you need to select the categories you want! For all relevant/notable characters, just select [Playable] and [Upcoming]. The rest of the categories are there for fun.
- Try clearing the cache of the page (Ctrl+F5 on Windows, Shift+Cmd+R on Mac, in your browser settings on mobile). This usually solves any sorter problems.
- The sorter is extremely image heavy so having a good connection is recommended.
- If you're on data, it does take longer to load the sorter (because of the above reason), so try switching to Wi-Fi if you're on data.
Admin
If for some reason it's still isn't working, you can try using the Neocities mirror. This is where I host the images used in the sorter and also the second place I test the sorter before releasing it to the public (Tumblr). The first being the (Private) GitHub Repository, but sharing that requires me to not be anonymous anymore so...! Anyways, in the case I cannot access the sorter because Tumblr is unreliable, I'll move the sorter there (or GitHub I Guess). So, if the sorter is oudated longer than usual, please check there. If that's also not updated then I just haven't gotten around to it.

Update pspspspps!!
Admin
This is something I created on my free time and manage in my free time for myself and my friends' personal enjoyement. I'm really just doing this for the fun of it. So, the sorter gets updated when I have that free time. Thank you for your understanding.
Admin
The only thing I will 100% gurantee is that I will update this at least once a year around game anniversary (April 26).
Anon
Can you make a tutorial on how to make a sorter? Can you give me the code for the sorter?
Admin
I currently have no plans on making a tutorial on how to make a sorter like this. Please stop asking.
Admin
As for the code, the source code is right there. Feel free to study/use it if you're able to figure it out on your own. Just.. Don't take the entire site 'cause that's like, really weird.

favorite character
Admin
I don't know why I keep getting this message I've gotten it so many times I've lost count and I don't even know what it's asking. Is this asking for my (admin's) favorite characters? Here you go I guess?? ? ? ? As of May 22, 2026 (Ver 4.2), only Playable is selected, Top 20 only. The party is over and I'm still Amphoreuspilled (Tribbie is 21 btw).

Will this get longer?
Admin
Probably.
You can send messages either thru Tumblr asks (If on Tumblr, in the box above) or Odaibako. All questions will be answered on the Tumblr account. Please read the FAQ above before sending a question!
