Unlock Five-Star Characters in Honkai: Star Rail with This New Shop!

by

Summary

  • A new Honkai: Star Rail leak is teasing a special shop for players to obtain five-star characters within the game.
  • Players will earn currency for the shop after pulling extra copies of characters with maxed-out Eidolons, needing 2 tokens to obtain a character.
  • The five-star character shop will join two new character, free login rewards, and more as part of Star Rail’s 2nd anniversary celebrations.

A recent leak about Honkai: Star Rail suggests a fresh method for gamers to obtain five-star characters, but it comes at a significant cost. Normally, the sci-fi RPG from HoYoverse confines its rarest characters within its gacha system, although certain events have offered free units to players. In Version 1.6 update, HoYoverse distributed a free five-star character – Dr. Ratio – to players. However, the leak hints at another potential method for acquiring elusive five-star characters from the game’s roster.

In Honkai: Star Rail, although five-star characters may not be common in the gacha system, there are assurances for players to secure valuable units. The game uses a “pity system” that ensures a five-star unit is obtained after every 90 pulls on the gacha, with the highlighted unit being guaranteed at least once every 180 pulls. Furthermore, players can opt for a free five-star character from the regular rotation following their 300th pull in the permanent banner. It’s also said that a new system is under consideration to reward players who obtain additional five-star characters.

Honkai: Star Rail Leak Teases New Five-Star Character Shop

A recent leak by well-known HoYoverse leaker Sakura Haven suggests the introduction of a new system for players to acquire five-star characters. This new system appears designed to advantage players who have already maxed out their existing five-star characters. As per the leak, when players draw copies of characters that are already at E6 (max level), they will receive a unique currency. This currency can be used in a special shop, where two of these new tokens can be exchanged for a choice of one five-star character from a rotating list of options. This anticipated new currency and five-star unit shop are slated to debut with Version 3.2, tentatively scheduled for release on April 8.

In the initial stages of the new Honkai: Star Rail game, it’s expected that many players will have limited uses for the special currency due to its requirement of fully upgrading the most valuable units first. However, players who frequently miss out on the 50/50 chance and acquire extra copies of the game’s regular character rotation may find themselves using this currency more frequently. The leaked information also hints at a similar system for Light Cones, where currency can be earned from the premium Battle Pass, as well as “unconventional methods,” and is used at a 4-to-1 ratio.

As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled about the prospect of Honkai: Star Rail‘s upcoming changes, especially the introduction of its new five-star character system. This exciting addition seems poised to complement the abundance of fresh content being unveiled to celebrate the game’s second anniversary. The duo, Castorice and Anaxa, are set to make their debut in Version 3.2, bringing with them a tantalizing promise of up to 30 gacha pulls as login rewards throughout the update. Leaks have hinted at an intriguing new “chimera” Pet companion joining our adventure within Honkai: Star Rail, inspired by the chimeras scattered across Amphoreus. As we prepare for Year 3, it seems that Star Rail is set to go out with a bang, promising a thrilling end to Year 2!
