There are seven five-star characters on the standard banner of Honkai: Star Rail and you can get these characters by pulling on the starter banner, character event banner, and stellar warp banner. Hoyoverse has done a great job in making every standard character useful in their own way.

Bronya is one of these characters, and she's on the path of Harmony with the Wind combat style. She's one of the greatest buffers in the game, and certain characters can use the DMG, ATK, and Crit DMG provided by her abilities much better than others.

7 Seele

The bond between Bronya and Seele has been unbeatable since the early days of Honkai Impact 3rd, and this shows in Star Rail as well. Seele was featured as the first limited character in the game, and she's a single-target DPS who can constantly increase her SPD and get extra turns upon defeating an enemy.

If you use Bronya's skill on this character, she'll get another extra turn with an increased DMG. This performs best against a horde of enemies since you can use Seele's abilities up to four times with Bronya's skill, and even more if you have the former's Ultimate ready. This will allow you to single-handedly defeat all the enemies.

Apart from all that, Bronya's Ultimate also gives Seele 12 percent Crit DMG, which adds to the 24 percent provided by her Traces at the maximum level. Once you get the hang of using these characters together, you wouldn't want to stop.

6 Natasha

Bronya can provide her allies with DMG boost and everything, but she can't provide any healing. Since Honkai: Star Rail has a turn-based combat system, you can't prevent enemies from attacking you. Even if you tank their attacks with a shield, you'll still take damage if they apply any debuff on your character.

Natasha is a free character that everyone can get just by progressing the story, and she can heal most of the damage done to your allies. With both Bronya and Natasha on the team, you can easily fill the other two slots with DPS characters and beat almost all the content in the game.

5 Sushang

Honkai Star Rail Sushang Splash and Menu

If you love chickens, Sushang is the perfect character for you. Not only does she summon a giant chicken during her Ultimate, but she also belongs to the Physical type. There aren't a lot of Physical DPS in the game, except Erudition Trailblazer, but it's better to use Preservation Trailblazer anyway.

Sushang is another single-target character who heavily benefits from extra turns and DMG buff from Bronya. When you use Sushang's Ultimate, she advances her actions forward by 100 percent. Bronya can also give her an instant turn with her skill. Ensure that you don't use both of these abilities at the same time.

4 Welt

Whenever you break an enemy's Toughness using the Imaginary element, they get slowed and have their actions delayed by a certain percentage. Moreover, Welt's Skill and Ultimate can further slow them down and delay their actions. This complements Bronya's skill quite well since one gives an extra turn while the other stalls the enemy turns.

Moreover, Welt can deal quite a lot of damage with the correct Light Cone and Relics. If you use Bronya's skill on him and use his Skill after, you'll see a significant amount of damage being dealt.

3 Dan Heng

When you activate Dan Heng's skill on a particular enemy, it deals three instances of damage. If any one of these damage instances is a Crit hit, he'll slow the target enemy by 12 percent. Moreover, one of his bonus abilities gives him a 50 percent chance to increase his own SPD by 20 percent whenever he attacks.

This SPD boost and enemy SPD reduction allow him to have more turns during a certain round, and these can be increased even further with Bronya's Skill. Moreover, it's quite important to focus on Crit Rate when it comes to his artifacts, and Bronya's Crit DMG from the Ultimate can help balance things out.

2 Yanqing

Honkai Star Rail Yanqing Splash and Menu

Yanqing's kit is one of the best-designed kits in Honkai: Star Rail. Whenever he activates his ultimate, he can get up to 90 percent Crit Rate for one turn if you use his Skill first. Furthermore, his Talent gives him another 15 percent Crit Rate and DMG for one turn after using his skill, which makes him a Crit machine.

Ideally, you wouldn't have to build any Crit Rate on this character, which allows you to build a ton of Crit DMG. This Crit DMG can further be increased with Bronya's Ultimate, which makes him a killing machine when you're up against single-target bosses. He can also increase his SPD after triggering a Crit hit, which is the cherry on top of the cake.

1 Tingyun

When you have two Harmony characters like Tingyun and Bronya on the same team, there are a lot of things you can do. The best thing is to use both of these characters to buff a third character that belongs to either Hunt or Erudition path, and you'll be able to see some huge numbers. This is great against single-target enemies.

On the other hand, you can also use these two characters to buff each other. For example, you can use Tingyun's Ultimate to get Bronya's Ultimate, which in turn buffs the entire team. You can also put all the buffs on Bronya because her basic attacks can deal a ton of damage with some bonus abilities.
