March 7th is one of the earliest characters that you can obtain in Honkai Star Rail. She is a 4-star Ice Preservation character and can function both as a shielder and a freeze bot.

Since she is free-to-play right from the beginning, a few players at first mistook her for being similar to Amber from Genshin Impact in terms of viability. Fortunately, that was not the case as March 7th turned out to be not just good but one of the better characters to have.

She is extremely reliant on good artifacts since the strength of her shield depends on how well she has been built.

Hence, here is a detailed guide for March 7th from Honkai Star Rail that you must follow, including her Relics, Light Cones, Eidolons, and many more.
