<br>In keeping with its free-to-play, gacha-based nature, Honkai: Star Rail has a few different models of monetization, the first and simplest of which is buying the game's premium currency, Oneiric Shards, which can be converted to Stellar Jade at a one-to-one ratio. Prices for differing amounts of Oneiric range from $0.99 to $99.99 USD, with $29.99 being the price for ten pulls' worth - although it should be noted purchasing any of the separate amounts of Oneiric for the first time will have doubled value. Despite being fairly standard values for gacha games like Star Rail , however, straight-up buying the currency for more pulls can certainly seem st<br><br> <br>If she breaks an enemy's shield with her attacks or her ultimate, there's also a chance that Pela can freeze them.

While some of the game's more powerful character customization options, such as Eidolon levels or five-star Light Cones, may be mostly out-of-reach for non-spending players, they are also strictly unnecessary for even some of Star Rail 's most challenging content.

However, while Honkai: Star Rail has several free characters that are provided to players both at the start of the game and at select points throughout the game's progression, the vast majority must be randomly obtained from the game's gacha banners, which is where most of the game's monetization will come into play - meaning that a player who spends money might have a different experience from one who does<br><br> <br>Perhaps the ultimate pop culture easter egg in Honkai: Star Rail is the reference to the novel series The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy . The reason Towel Day exists and a great embrace of nerd culture, Douglas Adams’ works are cited more than once in HoYoverse’s turn-based RPG. One of the references is the "The Express Passenger’s Guide to the Galaxy" Achievement, which requires the acquisition of 10 different characters.

Leveling characters, for example, is vitally important to the Star Rail 's progression, and, similarly to Genshin , is achieved largely through using resources on characters rather than simply fighting enemies. While the resources can be obtained from Golden Calyxes, a stamina system limits the amount; and, as a result, players who spring for the Nameless Glory battle pass or simply pay for more stamina will inevitably find themselves with more readily available resources for strengthening charact<br><br> <br>For those of you who are concerned about getting your hands on every character Honkai: Star Rail and are worried about why you may not have access to the Preservation Trailblazer, also known as the Fire Trailblazer, worry not.

The new title in the Honkai franchise takes a step aside from the Impact series and weaves a new story that is unrelated to it. During its storytelling process, however, players are encountering multiple references to different pop culture products, spread across various mediums.So far, players have seen Honkai: Star Rail reference popular TV shows, many iconic movies, and even a few award-winning games. While most of them are mere mentions of these products, usually present as dialogue options, a few others are more developed and even relate to a full questl<br>
