Why EVERYONE Plays: Acheron | Honkai Star Rail

Acheron is without a doubt the most popular DPS character in the game right now, having been almost unconditionally used by the vast majority of players ever since she came out. While I'm sure it's common knowledge why she's a fan favorite, in today's Why EVERYONE Plays video we'll be discussing what exactly made Acheron so legendary.

honkai impact raiden: can cook
genshin impact raiden: can't cook
honkai star rail raiden: can't find the kitchen

The only reason Acheron will never got powercreep is she can skip enemies on the map with her technique

[BenziLZK]

Short answer: Cuz she's Raiden

Long answer: Because she is Raiden Bosenmori Mei

11:44 I find it very funny how the auto-battle decided to use Acheron's ultimate on that one single weak enemy, as if it was a life or death situation.

No exceptions to Raiden being a strong ass unit in a Hoyo game

[IshimurA]

With Acheron being an extremely strong DPS, able to instantly kill normal monsters with her technique, and especially she is the 3rd member of the Raiden-verse

No wonder she's on the top of your must-have characters list

[EepsayYukay]

One amusing contradiction I find with Acheron is that she performs best with 2 Nihility teammates (at least before E2), meaning that on one hand, her team comps can feel restrictive but also means you can also save your premium non-Nihility supports for your second endgame team. I am both disappointed I can't pair her with Ruan Mei, but also happy that Ruan Mei can then be on the second half. It's quite surreal.

Because we love Raiden in every universe

Literally because she’s a Raiden Mei expy and that’s all we need to love her

[theinbunch]

Leaks also point out that Hoyo will gradually focus on ''summon'' type characters, like Topaz, Lingsha or Jingyuan.
Imagine they put a summon that can apply debuffs. It would be either a powercreep for any Acheron team member, or could work alongside them to farm stacks faster than ever, lol.

2 years later:
“Why no one plays Acheron”

[kwaakwoo]

Now with Jiaoqiu, the only thing she doesn’t have is a dedicated debuff healer. Once she does, it’s over 💀

[ShiraFuyu]

Acheron, Kafka, Black Swan. The Trio Nihility who will judge any upcoming Nihility's viability and won't be dethrone anytime soon.
One judges them based on how often they apply or proc Debuffs and the other 2 judges them based on their DoT potency

[XiasGaming]

traffic light nemesis for Acheron, fight me 😅

[black_pantheon]

They liked Acherons ult so much that they decided to do another one, just blue/greenish instead of black and red (Feixiaos ult

[Mossymushroomfrog]

Can’t wait for Vars to make a “why no one plays Acheron” video in 20 years when the servers shut down

[Somethingbla]

Because she is strong, but I just love her design.

[mysticmation]

This is literally the “Why everyone plays the Raiden Shogun” all over again

[fooop]

I generally don't like the most powerful all encompassing characters in video games (gameplay strenght wise) but it's Raiden man. Cool voice and personality, so much lore potential, amazing design, and a coolest ultimate in the game imo.

[Darkalanche]

I weep for the departed. That's why.
