A classic knight of the Knights of Beauty. Forthright and candid, this noble and admirable man wanders the cosmos alone, resolutely following the Path of Beauty. Upholding the good name of Beauty is Argenti's duty. To fulfill this responsibility, one's must be pious when one initiates battle, and one must make their opponent yield willingly when one strikes with one's spear.

Review
Great AoE damage potential while still having decent single-target output,
Two Ultimates give the player more choice — you can use the cheaper Ultimate in a pinch to finish off a wave,
His kit makes him increasingly stronger based on the number of enemies on the field,
Gets a lot of free CRIT Rate from his Talent,
Compared to many other limited damage dealers, his Eidolons aren't that good and he's already strong at E0,
Most of his best offensive supports are 4-stars, so it's easy to build his best teams.
Outside of Pure Fiction, he struggles in other endgame content,
His kit is pretty simple as he just uses a big stick to bonk enemies, which may be a con for some,
His damage output noticeably drops on turns where he doesn't have his Ultimate, since a majority of his damage comes from it,
Erudition units have some of the weakest Light Cone options in the game, meaning you don't have many choices if you don't go for his Signature Cone.
Argenti is one of the best characters for Pure Fiction where he can showcase his AoE prowess. He does not deal the highest damage in single-target scenarios, but he is nearly unmatched in AoE. His Ultimate can be used at 90 Energy for fast access to AoE damage, but is best used at the huge cost of 180 to be at maximum effectiveness, skyrocketing its upfront damage output and providing 6 extra damage Bounces. This makes his Ultimate powerful in all scenarios, and each Bounce will also deal some Toughness damage as well. With extra CRIT Rate and additional Energy gains from his Talent, Argenti is an exceptional damage dealer.
With flowing locks and just the right amount of comedic cringe, Argenti certainly makes an interesting first impression. Erudition units are steadily becoming more and more appreciated, and Argenti is poised for success. He is a remarkably powerful damage dealer with a simple, yet effective kit.
Argenti’s Skill deals damage to all enemies on the field, up to 120% of his ATK at max Trace level. It’s not exactly the most riveting ability in the game, but out of the similar Erudition Skills across the other characters, it does have the highest multiplier; 120% compared to the common 100% may not seem like a big improvement, but it starts to make a very big difference very quickly as the number of enemies increases.
Argenti’s Ultimate is the first of its kind. It is usable at two different Energy amounts, 90 and 180. At 90 Energy, he will deal minor damage to all enemies, a pretty decent amount for a low-cost Ultimate. However, if you use his Ultimate at 180 Energy, he will instead deal substantially more damage to all enemies and subsequently deal 6 extra instances of single-target damage to a random enemy. This extra damage is in the form of a Bounce attack much like Asta or Sampo’s Skills, meaning each hit will deal its own instance of Toughness damage. It is vitally important to note that each of these Bounces will ignore ‘dead’ targets, meaning no damage is going to be wasted on enemies whose health is already 0 after the first big swing.
Combining these means that Argenti’s 180-cost Ultimate deals an absurd amount of total damage, even against just a single target. If you’re hitting 5 enemies, this Ultimate is nothing short of nuclear. Against AoE content, Argenti’s going to be reaching damage numbers that belong in the Simulated Universe. Even in single-target scenarios, this Ultimate will deal very impressive damage as well as 120 Toughness damage, equivalent Toughness damage to that of an Imbibitor Lunae’s Fulgurant Leap.
Understandably, you want to be utilising the max cost Ultimate as often as possible, but an Energy cost of 180 is excruciatingly steep. Luckily, Argenti’s Talent helps to offset this somewhat. Every enemy that is hit by one of Argenti’s attacks will restore 3 Energy. Again, this seems somewhat underwhelming but in conjunction with the Energy gains from using Argenti’s Skill and the potential to get an extra 15 Energy per turn against 5 enemies, this talent goes a very long way to facilitating the otherwise exorbitant cost of Argenti’s full Ultimate.
Argenti’s Talent will also grant a stack of Apotheosis per enemy hit, increasing his CRIT Rate by 2.5%. Apotheosis can stack up to 10 times, granting a total of 25% CRIT Rate permanently for the rest of the encounter. Due to the AoE nature of Argenti’s damage, this is very easy to stack up to maximum within only a few turns, and having that much extra CRIT Rate for free is highly potent and very much appreciated.
Argenti’s Bonus Ability Traces are mostly nice bonuses. A2 will grant Argenti a stack of Apotheosis every time his turn starts, which is definitely good, but with the rate at which Apotheosis will stack during combat, this particular Bonus Ability goes largely unnoticed. A6 will let Argenti deal 15% more damage to targets whose health is at or below 50% of their maximum, which is largely self-explanatory.
His A4 is particularly interesting. It states ‘When enemy targets enter battle, immediately regenerates 2 Energy for self.’ What this means is that any time a new enemy appears on the field for seemingly any reason, Argenti will get 2 Energy instantly. This understandably includes the start of a new enemy wave, but more impressive is that it also includes any summoned enemies or other reinforcements, such as those called by Boss Gepard or the unending slew of IPC goons called by the IPC Team Leader.
Argenti’s Eidolons are strong but unnecessary, as he’s already going to be decimating pretty much everything the game can come up with to throw at the player. E1 is particularly good value, as it allows Apotheosis to also accumulate CRIT DMG bonuses in addition to its CRIT Rate.
This Knight of Beauty is really quite simple to use, and that’s arguably his best trait; Argenti doesn’t need to worry about things like gaining stacks on a summoned entity, or making sure he has a large amount of Skill Points to be at full power, or making sure the enemy has been properly primed with damage over time. He just… does the thing. It just works™. For some this may actually be a negative thing, since this simplicity also extends to his team setups and may become stale quickly, but over time, I’m certain everyone can learn to appreciate the value of a straightforward unit.
Units that help offset his tremendous Ultimate cost are naturally good pairs, such as Tingyun and Huohuo. Characters that can grant Argenti more actions can also offset the Ultimate’s cost by proxy; Robin or Sparkle can allow Argenti more opportunities to make use of his own Energy restoring Talent, thus increasing his total damage by quite a lot. Because of Argenti’s simplicity, you can really kind of just do whatever you like when it comes to team setups and you’ll probably be okay.
Argenti is honestly pretty great. You may not feel inclined to pull for him if you’ve already got the super heavy hitters like Jingliu, Imbibitor Lunae, or Kafka, but trust, nobody destroys AoE like Argenti destroys AoE.
What the hell is Idrila feeding her Knights, seriously, like damn.
Honkai: Star Rail is a game where team building matters most and while our tier list takes the optimal setup into account, a lot of characters can work and do well - even those ranked lower - when you invest into them. Also for story or lower difficulties of Simulated Universe, you don't need to worry about ratings and tiers. You can safely clear that content even with F2P characters as long as you build your team correctly.

Don't use the damage output calculations as an indication on who is worth pulling or investing as those are just simulations and in day-to-day gameplay there's a lot variables. Use the numbers only to supplement your knowledge and treat them as the 'floor' of a character's damage output which you can further scale with proper team and investment.
