If you are new to Honkai Star Rail, you are probably wondering how to get new characters and Light Cones in the game. Well, that’s done by using Warps.
Now you must be thinking about what Warp is, how you get them, and how you can use them. Well, worry not because in this guide we are going to cover all.
By the end of the guide, you will know everything you need to know about the Warps in Honkai Star Rail. Let’s go!
What is Warp in Honkai Star Rail?
Warp Gacha banner pull system in Honkai Star Rail, which unlocks new characters, light cones, and gives you other rewards.
In order to do a Warp banner pull, you need a Star Rail pass. There are two types of passes, the Regular Star Rail pass and the Special Star Rail pass.
There are a total of 4 types of Warp banners in the Honkai Star Rail. Below you will find all the details about them
1. Starter Warp / Departure Warp (permanent)
Requirements – Regular star rail pass
Starter warp or Departure Warp is a permanent event. You will get a 20% discount when you pull 10 warps together.
In this event, you will receive one guaranteed 4-star and above character or Light Cone. You can only do a total maximum of 50 warps in this event. One 5-star character is guaranteed within these 50 pulls.
2. Regular Warp / Stellar Warp (permanent)
Requirements – Regular star rail pass
Regular Warp or stellar warp is pretty much the same starter warp event. It’s a permanent event and uses a regular star rail pass.
In this event, you will receive one guaranteed 4-star character or light cone for every 10 pulls. There is no discount in this event for using multiple passes at the same time.
In a stellar warp event, after doing 300 warp pulls, you can pick one of the following characters as a reward.
- Himeko
- Welt
- Bronya
- Gepard
- Clara
- Yanqing
- Bailu
Which one is better, Stellar Warp or Departure Warp?
Since both events use regular star rail passes, you are probably wondering where you should spend your passes.
Well, Departure Warp gives you discounts, so you should definitely do that one first. However, once you receive the guaranteed 5-star character, you can stop spending on it. Stellar Warp will be a much better option after that.
If you are lucky enough, you might not even need 50 pulls on departure warp; you will end up receiving it much sooner. After that, you can use a regular star rail pass on Stellar Warp to receive another guaranteed character for every 300 Warp pulls.
3. Character Event Warp (Limited time)
Requirements – special star rail pass
Character Event Warp is a limited-time event that allows you to unlock your favorite character. It uses special star rail passes instead of regular ones.
The drop rate for particular characters is significantly boosted in this event. So, this is the easiest way to unlock the character.
4. Light Cone Event Warp (Limited time)
Requirements – special star rail pass
Light Cone Event Warp is the same as the character Event Warp. It uses the same special star rail pass. The chance of dropping the particular light cones is significantly boosted in this event.
Should you spend your special Star Rail pass on a character event or a light cone event?
Well, this depends on your playing style. First, you should use them to unlock your favorite character, and after that, you can spend them on suitable light cone events for that character.
The best way is to save them until your favorite character or his/her light cone appears at the event.
How to get Star Rail passes and Special Star Rail passes?
Now it’s time to answer the most important question. How do you get Regular and Special star rail passes in Honkai Star Rail? Below you will find all the methods to obtain them.
Using Stellar Jade
This is the most common method to get a Star Rail pass and a Special Star Rail pass. You can exchange 160 Stellar Jade in to single pass. It costs the same for both passes.
Undying Starlight and Undying Embers
Whenever you do Warp pulls, you will receive a certain amount of Undying Starlight and Undying Embers. You can use them to redeem for the Star Rail pass and Special Star Rail pass in the exchange shop.
Quests
Quests are a great way to accumulate great loot, sometimes star rail passes, and special star rail passes are also part of the rewards. Always be on the lookout for that, even if passes are not part of the reward, stellar jade might be granted as a reward.
Events
Keep your eyes peeled for special events. They are basically the same as the quests; you do a certain task and will be rewarded for that, and sometimes star rail passes are part of that reward. However, they are available for a limited time, so be sure to finish them on time.
Nameless Honor
Nameless Honor is a fancy name for the battle pass. You need to do some tasks to unlock the tiers for the reward. Both star rail passes are part of these tiers. Of course, you can get even more passes if you buy a premium battle pass.
Simulated Universe
You might already be aware of the simulated universe since it’s introduced pretty early in the game. It’s a game mode inside the Honkai Star Rail. As you complete simulated world battles, you get Herta Bonds. You can exchange Herta bonds in the shop for Star Rail passes.
Express Supply Pass
This is a premium method; you can buy an expert supply pass with real money. This pass will grant you stellar jade as well as Oneiric shards every day. You can convert Oneiric shards into Stellar Jade, and later, Stellar Jade can be used to buy Star rail passes.
That’s all the possible methods we know about obtaining the Star Rail pass and Special Star Rail pass. This guide on Warp pretty much ends here. Let us know if anything is missed, and we will update it.
