Enemies have certain elements that they are weak against. Using characters to take advantage of their weaknesses will allow you to decrease their Toughness much faster to trigger a Weakness Break.

Techniques are special moves you can perform while exploring the open world. Each character has different ways they can use their technique, which ranges from buffing your entire party to using it offensively to easily break enemies.
▶ List of Techniques and How to Use

Follow-up attacks deal additional damage to enemies without having to manually trigger them in Honkai: Star Rail. See how to perform a Follow-Up attack and all the characters with this ability!
▶ All Characters With Follow-Up Attacks

Paths are Honkai Star Rail's character class system, offering differing play styles unique to each character and path.

There are a few ways you can get characters in Honkai: Star Rail and most of them are obtained through the Character Warp banners by using Stellar Jades.
Some are free and only require you to play the game by progressing through the story and leveling up. Other free characters will require you to clear content, such as the Simulated Universe and the Endgame content.

As a reward for surpassing 3.5 million pre-registrations, players received the 4-Star Lightning Character, Serval, for free at launch.
▶ Pre-registration Guide and Rewards

Completing Memory Stage 3 of the Forgotten Hall will reward you with a copy of Qingque, a 4-star Erudition Quantum DPS.

Completing Memory Stage 1 of the Memory of Xianzhou will reward you with a copy of Yukong, a 4-star Harmony Imaginary Support.

You can get 5-star Characters by spending Stellar Jade on any Character Warp Banners. If you are unlucky, however, after 80 rolls, you are guaranteed to receive a 5-Star Character from that banner.
Test your luck by trying out our Warp Banner simulators before doing the real thing!

After rolling a total of 300 times on the Standard Character Warp banner, you can select one 5-Star character of your choice from that banner. Choose wisely, as this is only available once per account.
