While Honkai: Star Rail _ might be technically free-to-play, its nature as a gacha game means that players who do spend money may end up getting significantly more mileage out of it. Despite the game being a large departure from past HoYoverse titles in terms of gameplay and turn-based combat, _Honkai: Star Rail ‘s monetization remains extremely similar to games like Genshin Impact , with several currencies and systems for players to make sense of, and many of them involving the spending of real-world money. Factoring in aspects like currency farming, character rates, and more, it can be difficult to gauge how “free” Star Rail actually
While Honkai: Star Rail doesn’t require any money, players who don’t spend may find themselves having to grind the game’s activities more. Leveling characters, for example, is vitally important to the Star Rail ‘s progression, and, similarly to Genshin , is achieved largely through using resources on characters rather than simply fighting enemies. While the resources can be obtained from Golden Calyxes, a stamina system limits the amount; and, as a result, players who spring for the Nameless Glory battle pass or simply pay for more stamina will inevitably find themselves with more readily available resources for strengthening charact
For players who are willing to be patient or are simply content with what the game’s free experience provides, however, there’s little need to spend any money on the game – especially for those who re-roll their Honkai: Star Rail accounts for better beginner pulls. While some of the game’s more powerful character customization options, such as Eidolon levels or five-star Light Cones, may be mostly out-of-reach for non-spending players, they are also strictly unnecessary for even some of Star Rail ‘s most challenging content. While certainly nice to have, the majority of the game’s characters don’t need them to be truly effect
Once the acquisition of Planar Ornaments is unlocked through Herta’s Simulated Universe, players should start looking for some to use in Arlan’s best build in Honkai: Star Rail . Again, there are options, and the choice will depend on what players are looking for. If Arlan needs a boost to his ATK stat, Space Sealing Station is the ideal Ornament set to use. If players want an improved CRIT Rate stat, Inert Salsotto is the best. On the other hand, Celestial Differentiator is the way to go if CRIT DMG needs to be impro
So, if you build up the Trailblazer’s Magma Will high enough, that means the pulse released from their normal attack will deal a significant chunk of damage. Bronya’s ultimate also increases your crit chance, which means you can pretty much wipe your enemies off their feet, even without the Trailblazer being your main
If the strategy is to take full advantage of Arlan’s HP loss mechanic and use a healer to prevent Arlan from falling, A Secret Vow is the best way to go. On the Fall of an Aeon is a 5-star substitute in case none of the other Light Cones are available, as it will provide satisfactory ATK and DMG bonu
In keeping with its free-to-play, gacha-based nature, Honkai: Star Rail has a few different models of monetization, the first and simplest of which is buying the game’s premium currency, Oneiric Shards, which can be converted to Stellar Jade at a one-to-one ratio. Prices for differing amounts of Oneiric range from $0.99 to $99.99 USD, with $29.99 being the price for ten pulls’ worth – although it should be noted purchasing any of the separate amounts of Oneiric for the first time will have doubled value. Despite being fairly standard values for gacha games like Star Rail , however, straight-up buying the currency for more pulls can certainly seem st
It’s not very clear who Misha is meant to pair with in Honkai: Star Rail. While the idea is there, the execution may seem odd as SP-heavy characters are usually excellent on their own and don’t need a DPS like Misha to begin w
If players want a sturdy unit that can deal damage while reliably planting DoTs on enemies, then Hook is a strong choice. As a Destruction Path unit, Hook can deal decent damage with her Skill and Ultimate, especially if the enemy has a Burn DoT on them. Hook combines survivability, damage, and utility all in one kit, and players can benefit from running her with many team comps in Honkai: Star Ra
As a Hunt unit, Sushang’s kit revolves around breaking enemies’ Toughness in Honkai: Star Rail . Whenever a boss has a Physical weakness, Sushang is the perfect character to take to that fight. As long as there are enemies with weakness broken on the field, Sushang becomes speedy, which is super useful to break more Toughness. Of course, her gameplay heavily consumes Skill points and players have to adjust and adapt to how aggressive she can be during batt
The way he plays is that when he uses his Skill or other allies use Skill Points (SP), his Ultimate gains one extra hit. The minimum hit is three, and the maximum is 10. Each hit has a low chance of freezing the target. The only notable thing about his best move is that it’s great at breaking Toughness, especially against a single tar
