It has been a fantastic year for Honkai: Star Rail<\/em>, which has won multiple accolades, including The Game Awards Best Mobile Game of 2023. So, in mid-January, miHoYo wants to give something back to the players that helped make it so popular: a free 5-star character.<\/p>
The character in question is the amusingly named Dr. Ratio, an Imaginery-type that follows the Path of The Hunt. \u201cBetween the start of the Version 1.6 \u2018Panta Rhei\u2019 Event Warp (Dec. 27) and the end of Version 2.1, the Crew will be giving Dr. Ratio\u2026via Mail,\u201d\u00a0explained the announcement<\/a>\u00a0posted Dec. 15 on X. \u201cThanks for your continuous support!\u201d This does mean players must first unlock the mailbox before they can access this generous gift, a task completed following the Trailblaze Mission: The Blue\u2014A Moment of Peace.<\/p>

Star Rail<\/em>, as a live service, has been incredibly kind to its fans since its initial release in April. Stellar Jade, the game\u2019s primary currency, is never too far away and easily saveable as you play through the game for the very first time. Every new version has also brought with it 10 free Premium Star Rail Passes, the tickets required to activate the aforementioned Event Warps. \u201cGiving a free 5-star in less than a year was not in my predictions,\u201d confessed one user<\/a> on Reddit in response to the news; Genshin Impact<\/em> has nowhere near as many gifts to enjoy month-to-month. <\/p>
Yet, the news keeps getting better for players. As revealed in the Version 1.6 Special Programme<\/a>, the 4-star character Lynx is also being given away for free as part of the incoming Pure Fiction stages\u2014a new running mate to the challenging Memory of Chaos rounds that offer crucial Stellar Jade pickups. Admittedly, you have to do a bit of work for Lynx by completing the second stage of Pure Fiction, but this shouldn\u2019t be too hard a task. <\/p>
