Honkai Star Rail features an expansive roster of exciting characters including some that you can add to your team comps for free! Here are all the free characters in the game you can unlock without spending any in-game currency.
If you want to unlock every single character in Honkai Star Rail it will take a lot of time and money due to the game’s gacha system, especially if you’re keen to add the rare 5-star fighters to your collection. The primary way to get new characters is by rolling on the current banners by spending Star Rail and Special Passes in the game.
Unfortunately, there’s no guarantee that you’ll get the unit you want by rolling on banners due to the gacha mechanics. There are a handful of free characters in Honkai Star Rail however, that can be added to your team at no extra cost.
So, here are all the free characters available in Honkai Star Rail.
All free Honkai Star Rail characters
There are currently 11 free characters that players can obtain in the game without spending a thing, including some of the best 5 and 4-star characters in the game.
Without further ado, here are all of the characters you can claim for free in Honkai Star Rail:
