All free Honkai Star Rail characters

There’s a large roster of characters in Honkai Star Rail including a handful that players can obtain for free. If you want to save some of your currencies, here’s every free character you can unlock in the game.

It can take a lot of time and money to unlock every character in Honkai Star Rail, particularly if you’re focusing on the game‘s rare 5-star fighters. Specific characters can be unlocked by spending Star Rail Passes and Special Passes to roll on the current banner.

No matter how many Star Rail Passes you have, however, there’s no guarantee you’ll get the exact character you want from banners due to the gacha system. Thankfully, there are a handful of free characters in the game that you can unlock without having to spend anything.

If you want to add more characters to your team or are simply wondering who you can unlock for free, here’s a breakdown of every free character available in Honkai Star Rail.

All free Honkai Star Rail characters

There are currently eight free characters that players can obtain in the game without spending a thing, including some of the best 4-star characters in the game. Of course, this list could change once the Honkai Star Rail beta ends, so we’ll be sure to update this list upon the full release. 

Without further ado, here are all of the characters you can claim for free in Honkai Star Rail:

Honkai Star Rail Limited-time character events

Just like Genshin Impact, HoYoverse enables players to claim free characters during limited-time events, so make sure you keep an eye out for any special giveaways. The current free Honkai Star Rail character giveaway is rewarding players with Serval – a deadly 4-star Lightning character. 

Serval is being given out to players thanks to Honkai Star Rail reaching 3,500,000 pre-registrations. The developers will likely plan other limited-time character events and giveaways in the future.
