Who Should You Pull Next in Honkai Star Rail? — Pull Advisor
StarGuide's Pull Advisor gives personalized pull recommendations based on your actual roster. It compares every released character you don't own against your collection to show which pulls would improve your account the most across Memory of Chaos, Pure Fiction, and Apocalyptic Shadow.
How does the Pull Advisor decide who to recommend?
The Pull Advisor simulates adding each unowned character to your roster and measures the resulting improvement in team quality across all endgame modes. It considers existing roster gaps, synergy with your owned characters, and how each new character would slot into optimal team compositions. Three tabs: "For Your DPS" shows which supports your DPS characters want most, "For Your Supports" shows which DPS characters your supports can enable best, and "Banner" evaluates current and upcoming banners against your roster. Placement follows StarGuide's authored team data rather than a single role label, so a hybrid character who both anchors teams and supports other carries is rated as both, with a separately scored banner card for each lens.
Is this useful for F2P players?
Especially useful for F2P and low-spenders who need to make every pull count. The advisor ranks characters by account impact so you can see exactly how much value each banner brings to your specific roster, rather than relying on generic tier lists that assume you own everything. For evaluating currently active banners specifically, use its Banner tab, and for account-wide upgrade ranking across pulls, eidolons, and light cones see Next Best Action.
How does StarGuide evaluate the current banner?
The Banner tab analyzes your owned characters and calculates how each banner character would improve your team options across Memory of Chaos, Pure Fiction, and Apocalyptic Shadow. It factors in score weight (higher-scored characters get more urgency), synergy ratings with your existing roster, and eidolon multipliers (E0 units you don't own yet get higher urgency weighting than an E5+ character's next eidolon). Each banner character shows a "Wanted by" section listing which of your DPS characters need them, with granular partnership analysis broken down by role.
What if I already own the banner character?
Already-owned banner characters are flagged with your current eidolon level. The advisor still evaluates whether the next eidolon is worth pulling for based on the investment impact it would have on your teams. For a full simulation of every possible eidolon and light cone upgrade ranked by efficiency, see Next Best Action.
