Ever since its release,Honkai: Star Railhas been quite generous with its reward as it gives you enough summons to get a five-star every update even if you’re free-to-play. However, these rewards became even better when they announced a free five-star unit in the Version 1.6 live stream.
Thankfully, you don’t have to do anything specific to get this character apart from a few general things. The best part is that his kit and overall damage look quite fun, which wasn’t expected from a free character.
