Character Elements
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.
How to Use Techniques
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

How to Get Characters in Honkai: Star Rail
Get Characters Through Warp Banners
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.
Claim Serval From The Pre-Registration Rewards
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
Complete Forgotten Hall Stage 3 to Get Qingque
Completing Memory Stage 3 of the Forgotten Hall will reward you with a copy of Qingque, a 4-star Erudition Quantum DPS.
Complete Memory of Xianzhou Stage 1 to Get Yukong
Completing Memory Stage 1 of the Memory of Xianzhou will reward you with a copy of Yukong, a 4-star Harmony Imaginary Support.
How to Get 5-Star Characters
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!
How to Get the Free 5-Star Character Selector
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.
