If you don’t know how and why to increase the balance level in Honkai: Star Rail, be sure to check out this guide.
How to pass the balance test 1
Not all Honkai: Star Rail players manage to get the best characters on their team. But you can pass the test only with the help of free heroes and Pathfinder.
Remark: Before starting the test, make sure that you pump the level of the characters to the maximum (at this stage – level 30), as well as the level of light cones and some skills.
Squad composition
The composition of back number 1:
- Pioneer;
- March 7th;
- Dan Heng;
- Serval.
The composition of back number 2:
- Asta;
- March 7th;
- Natasha;
- Dan Heng.
Main character (pioneer)

- Light cone: “The Moles Hail Thee” or “The Fall of Heaven”;

- relics: Wild Wheat Shooter set effect.
March 7th

- Light cone: “Amber” or “Defense”;
- footprints: Basic attack (level 1), super strength (level 2), skill (level 2), talent (level 1);
- relics: Optionally.
Dan Heng

- relics: Player’s choice.
Natasha

- Light cone: “Equal Exchange” or “Ripe Fruit”;

- relics: Optionally.
Asta

- Light cone: “Dance! Dance! Dance! or “Consonant”;

- relics: Optionally.
Serval

- relics: Player’s choice.
First fight
The first boss is Ice out of Space. Before the battle, restore the energy of all characters in the team and also use Dan He’s additional ability “Intensify”. Attack him with the same hero to make him vulnerable.

Use the Pathfinder’s super ability to break through the vulnerabilities of normal enemies, then immediately finish them off with other heroes. Create a shield for March 7, as the opponents will attack her first.

Use Dan He’s super ability to break through the boss’s vulnerability, then deal damage with the rest of the fighters.
Second blow
The next boss is Searing Prowler. March 7 will be much more useful in the fight with him, since the enemy is vulnerable to ice. Also remember to use the Dan He buff before the battle, but the best time to start a battle is March 7. This will freeze normal opponents.

Try to get rid of the stunned enemies as soon as possible, make a shield for March 7 and just attack the boss. If Natasha is on your team, it wouldn’t be out of place to use her super strength to nurse team members back to health.
How to Pass the Trial of Balance 2

Unlike the previous test, you need at least one five-star hero to somehow reach the second level of Balance (besides the Pathfinder). Of course, you can try to complete two battles with free characters, but it won’t be easy.

For completing extra missions and recon missions you will receive a special Star Jade currency. Buy with it star passes or special star passesto use them to jump. We’ve covered all the ways to farm Star Jade in more detail in this guide.

For example, we managed to get into the team Cheetah – A five-star conservation hero. If you pump well, every few moves you can make a shield for all members of the team, which significantly increases the chances of winning. If you managed to get Zele, Himeko, Armor, Clara or other high-ranking heroes, you will definitely be able to use them on the battlefield.
Squad composition
The composition of back number 1:
- Asta;
- Pioneer;
- Natasha;
- Dan Heng.

The first team consists only of free heroes, which you receive as you progress through the story and additional missions.
The composition of back number 2:
- Pioneer;
- cheetah;
- Dan Heng;
- Serval.

With the next detachment, we managed to pass the test without any problems. Please note that there is only one five-star hero in its composition.
Selection #3:
- Zele;
- Pioneer;
- Natasha;
- Himeko.

The last unit in this guide is based on two strong characters.
Main character (pioneer)

- Light cone: “The Moles Hail Thee” or “The Fall of Heaven”;
- footprints: Basic attack (level 2), super strength (level 4), skill (level 6), talent (level 5);
- relics: Falling Meteorite Thief and Space Sealing Station set effects.
Asta
- Light cone: “Dance! Dance! Dance! or “Consonant”;
- footprints: Basic attack (level 2), super strength (level 3), skill (level 3), talent (level 2);
- relics: Falling Meteor Thief set effect.
Dan Heng
- Light cone: “Spring Streams of Rivers” or “Arrows”;
- footprints: Basic Attack (2nd level), Super Strength (3rd level), Skill (3rd level), Talent (3rd level);
- relics: Wild Wheat Shooter and Space Sealing Station set effects.
Cheetah

- Light cone: “The first day of my new life” or “Defense”;
- footprints: Basic attack (level 2), super strength (level 4), skill (level 3), talent (level 3);
- relics: Effects of the “Knight of the Palace of Purity” and “Ageless Fleet” set.
Natasha
- Light cone: “Equal Exchange” or “Ripe Fruit”;
- footprints: Basic Attack (2nd level), Super Strength (3rd level), Skill (3rd level), Talent (3rd level);
- relics: Rogue Cloud Drifter set effect.
Serval
- Light cone: “Breakfast Importance” or “Database”;
- footprints: Basic Attack (2nd level), Super Strength (3rd level), Skill (3rd level), Talent (3rd level);
- relics: Effects of Falling Meteorite Thief and Ageless Fleet.
First fight
Guardian Shadow is not a very strong opponent. Before the battle, you can use consumables to increase the protection of fighters. For example, assemble a one-time shield that increases state resistance by 10% and defense by 15%. It will also be useful to restore the energy of the heroes and use the Dan Heng buff (if there is such a character in your team).
Activate the Pathfinder’s superpower Explosion to break through normal monsters’ vulnerability and remove part of Guardian Shadow’s vulnerability. Then use Dan Heng’s ult and stun the boss.

Keep in mind that the boss occasionally activates the Echoing Chant or Disarming Injunction abilities. At this time, you should not use some attacks (basic attacks or skills) because the enemy will respond to them. If there is a red icon next to an attack or skill, it is better to use another attack.

Second blow
The petrel is a serious enemy. If you’ve been through “World 2” of the virtual universe, then you’ve probably met him. The presence of Himeko, Welt, Cheetah or Yanqing in the team will greatly simplify the battle, as the monster is vulnerable to fire, ice and imaginary damage.
At the beginning of the battle, use Dan Heng’s super ability on the normal normal opponent, then complete the second one. After removing them, use Asta’s ability to break through the boss’s vulnerability.

Once the boss is running low on health, focus on restoring the heroes’ super powers. This will help you deal with it quickly. If you have Cheetah, Yanqing, or any other Frost-damaged hero on your team, use their abilities to freeze the opponent whenever possible.
