In this game, new players can choose one 5-star character from the beginner pool for their first draw. Currently, there are a total of 6 selectable characters, each with their own unique features, which often leaves many newcomers unsure of how to choose, fearing that a wrong choice may affect their early-game combat experience. So, how should you choose the 5-star character in the Double Helix? This article will provide some recommendations to help you make an informed decision.

1. Rebecca
Rebecca is a powerful AoE (Area of Effect) damage dealer. Her passive "Pure Love" adds 1 stack of poison to the target each time she uses a melee weapon or her jellyfish for attacks, up to a maximum of 6 stacks. The poison causes water damage every 2 seconds. When an enemy with the poison effect is eliminated, it spreads the poison to nearby enemies. Her "Longing" has a chance to deal additional poison damage when attacking with a melee weapon, and her ultimate skill guarantees dealing 1 instance of poison damage. Her skill summons a jellyfish that continuously attacks surrounding enemies, causing water damage. Her ultimate deals water damage to all enemies within a certain range and increases the damage based on the number of poison stacks on the targets.

2. Lynn
Lynn can deal burst damage by stacking states. Her "Tactical Rapid Fire" grants her 1 layer of pre-loading every second without shooting, up to a maximum of 6 layers. When shooting, these layers are consumed, and the damage is increased based on the number of layers used. Her "Unforgivable" removes the wound limit on enemies and deals damage. Her skill fires an enhanced bullet, dealing fire damage and inflicting laceration to enemies in its path. Laceration increases the wound count by 1 each time the carrier takes ranged weapon damage, and at the end of the duration, it deals 1 instance of fire damage. Her ultimate switches to a special weapon, during which she cannot move but can use skills and shoot. Shooting deals damage to all enemies in front, and during continuous shooting, she gains 1 layer of attack speed increase every 0.2 seconds, up to a maximum of 35 layers.

3. Truffle and Hazel
She possesses both healing and tanking abilities, as well as some offensive capabilities. Her "Busy" grants 1 layer of "Heavyweight" after moving for 1 second, increasing her damage dealt and reducing damage taken. Her "Continuous" has a chance to generate an ammunition supply box when dealing skill damage. Her skill commands the pig "Hazel" to charge forward, dealing wind damage to all enemies in its path and causing area-of-effect wind damage upon hitting an obstacle. When cast, it also provides healing and a damage boost to herself and nearby allies. When riding the pig, the skill changes to "Big Charge";
"Big Charge" is activated by holding down the button, allowing her to ride the pig and continuously charge, dealing wind damage to all enemies in the path and causing area-of-effect wind damage upon stopping. Her ultimate allows her to ride "Hazel" and gain 100 points of Work Enthusiasm, increasing movement speed while riding. Each action during the ride deals wind damage to targets along the way. While riding, she cannot use weapons but can command the pig to attack. Once the Work Enthusiasm is depleted, she automatically dismounts. Reusing the ultimate will also cause her to dismount and cast a skill once.

4. Sybil
Sybil's first passive grants her a certain amount of Myriad Power, up to a maximum of 300 points, when triggering additional effects. Her second passive generates a lightning strike on a random enemy when nearby allies use skills by consuming Sanity. If there are already Lightning Orbs on the field, they will be prioritized. Her skill generates a random lightning strike, and holding down the button will continuously generate multiple strikes. Consuming 30 points of Myriad Power can change the attack range to around herself and generate an additional lightning strike on the same target. Her ultimate summons a Lightning Orb, and consuming 100 points of Myriad Power strengthens the orb, causing it to automatically deal damage to surrounding enemies after accumulating a certain amount of damage. The orb automatically attacks once every 3 seconds, linking to the farthest 5 enemies within range, and links to one more enemy per second. It deals lightning damage to linked targets every second, and a portion of the damage she receives is transferred to the linked targets.

This concludes our recommendations for the 5-star character selection in the Double Helix. The four characters introduced above are all very strong and have their own unique features. You can choose the one that best suits your playstyle and team composition to ensure a smooth start in the game.
