Argenti might be one of the most theatrical characters in Honkai: Star Rail, but behind all that knightly charm sits a very specific gameplay hunger: Energy. As a five-star Physical character on the Path of Erudition, he carries not one, but two Ultimates. His enhanced Ultimate hits absurdly hard, but it also demands a massive 180 Energy. To get there, he needs a little backstage help from allies who can feed his Energy, boost his ATK, and tear down enemy defenses. Building the right team around him is like assembling a road crew for a very demanding rockstar. Here are the best teammates for Argenti in 2026, ranked from solid to absolutely essential. ⚔️

Rank	Character	Path	Combat Type	Role
7	March 7th	Preservation	Ice	🛡️ Shielder and aggro support
6	Pela	Nihility	Ice	⚔️ AoE DEF shredder
5	Himeko	Erudition	Fire	🔥 Sub-DPS and follow-up attacker
4	Huohuo	Abundance	Wind	💚 Healer and Energy battery
3	Hanya	Harmony	Physical	⏩ SP generator and buffer
2	Guinaifen	Nihility	Fire	🔥 Debuffer and Burn applier
1	Tingyun	Harmony	Lightning	⚡ Energy battery and buffer

7. March 7th

Don't sleep on March 7th just because she's free. She is the first Preservation character everyone unlocks, and her shield can do more than just keep Argenti alive. When she uses her Skill on an ally with over 30 percent HP, that ally becomes much more likely to be attacked.

Place that shield on Argenti, and he turns into a walking aggro magnet. Taking extra hits means his Energy climbs faster, which is exactly what his double Ultimate needs. She also keeps the rest of the party from taking unnecessary damage. In longer fights, that extra Energy generation can be the difference between a normal Ultimate and the enhanced version.

6. Pela

Pela is one of those quiet MVPs who does not need a lot of screen time to make a big impact. As a four-star Nihility character, her Ultimate reduces the DEF of every enemy on the field at once. That is a huge deal for Argenti because both his Skill and Ultimate hit all enemies.

With enough Energy regeneration, Pela can keep that DEF shred active almost permanently. She is easy to slot into most teams, and she does not demand a ton of Skill Points. If an enemy is already softened up by Pela, Argenti's wide-reaching hits feel even more punishing.

5. Himeko

Two Erudition characters on one team might sound greedy, but Himeko and Argenti can absolutely share the spotlight. Himeko brings Fire coverage and a follow-up attack that triggers after a certain number of Weakness Breaks. Since Argenti attacks all enemies with decent Toughness damage, he helps Himeko fire that follow-up more often.

Himeko by herself can feel a little inconsistent, but paired with Argenti she gets a lot more chances to shine. This duo is especially fun in fights with multiple enemies or enemies weak to both Physical and Fire. It might not be the most hyper-optimized setup, but it is a very satisfying one.

4. Huohuo

Huohuo is like a walking battery pack with a very cute face. As a limited five-star Abundance character, she heals the team, but her Harmony-style bonuses are what make her incredible for Argenti. Her Ultimate regenerates Energy for the entire party based on each character's Max Energy.

For Argenti, who needs 180 Energy for his enhanced Ultimate, that is a massive gift. Huohuo also gives an ATK boost and can prevent allies from being knocked out. She covers the sustain role while actively speeding up Argenti's big payoff, which makes her one of the most valuable teammates he can ask for.

3. Hanya

Hanya keeps a team's Skill Point economy running like a well-oiled machine. She applies Burden to enemies with her Skill, and hitting Burdened enemies generates extra SP. That is huge in an Argenti team because Argenti wants to use his Skill often, and extra SP makes the whole rotation smoother.

Her Ultimate also boosts Argenti's SPD and ATK. More SPD means more turns, more Energy, and more chances to charge that enhanced Ultimate. Hanya was released alongside Argenti, and it is easy to see why they work so well together.

2. Guinaifen

Guinaifen might look like she is just here for the vibes, but her Firekiss debuff is no joke. When enemies take damage from her Burn, they receive Firekiss, which increases the damage they take. Her Skill can apply Burn to three enemies at once, so Argenti's AoE attacks get a regular damage boost.

The main thing to watch is Skill Point management. Both Guinaifen and Argenti want to use their Skills, so the rest of the team needs to help balance the budget. With a good SP-positive support or two, this duo can shred through groups of enemies very quickly.

1. Tingyun

Tingyun is Argenti's ride-or-die support, plain and simple. Her Ultimate gives him a huge 50 Energy, which is exactly the kind of shortcut his expensive enhanced Ultimate craves. On top of that, she boosts his DMG with her Ultimate and his ATK with her Skill. If she has extra Eidolons, she can even increase his SPD.

She is also friendly to the team's SP economy because her Skill only needs to be refreshed every few turns. When Argenti has Tingyun feeding him Energy and ATK, his enhanced Ultimate stops feeling like a distant dream and starts feeling like a regular event. If you are building an Argenti team in 2026, Tingyun should be one of the first names on the list.

A strong Argenti team usually wants one sustain, one Energy battery, and one debuffer or SP generator. A setup like Argenti, Tingyun, Huohuo, and Pela covers all of those bases beautifully. Hanya can replace Pela if SP feels tight, and March 7th is a great free substitute for Huohuo when you are still building out the roster. Whatever combination you choose, the goal stays the same: keep Argenti moving, keep his Energy full, and let his double Ultimate do all the talking.
