With a turn-based combat system, sprawling maps for exploration, and captivating narrative arcs, the game provides a harmonious and thrilling interstellar experience that promise to surprise.

In the game, you’ll able to build effective teams without spending a dime. You will pick up free four-star characters just by completing the tutorial, accumulating in-game currency to buy them from the store, or later on, by participating in special events, just like in Genshin Impact.
The most sought-after in-game currency in Honkai Star Rail are called Stellar Jades, which can be used to roll for five-star characters or Light Cones, which boost their stats. This is the equivalent of Genshin Impact’s Primogems.
However, if you didn’t accumulate enough Stellar Jades, or if you wish to obtain a character or upgrades within a limited banner run, you have the option to purchase in-game currency through digital payments.
