Honkai Star Rail has plenty of characters to choose from in its ever-expanding roster, and players can unlock a number of units in the game for free. Here’s every available free character in Honkai Star Rail that you can save your Star Rail Passes and Special Passes on. 

Obtaining every character in Honkai Star Rail can take a lot of time and money, especially if you wish to unlock the game’s 5-star units as Honkai Star Rail requires players to roll on banners. Depending on the current banner, certain 5-star and 4-star characters can be unlocked using Star Rail Passes and Special Passes.
