Best Team Composition for Hook in Honkai Star Rail
Since Hook is a DPS unit, she has to have a team that revolves around helping her inflict increased damage on the enemies. One of the best team compositions for her could be Natasha, Tingyun, and Gepard.
In this combination, Natasha will be the primary healer, Tingyun will act as a buffer, and Gepard will become the tank. However, if you don’t have these characters, players can easily replace Tingyun with Bronya and Gepard with Fire Trailblazer.
Players who want to play two Fire elements on their team can add Asta to the party and remove one of the abovementioned characters. Ideally, this should not make much of a difference.
