Cover-Credits:
In the recently concluded special program stream, 'Crown of the Mundane and Divine,' Honkai Star Rail announced several features of the upcoming version 1.6 update, including the introduction of Ruan Mei, Dr. Ratio, and Xueyi. However, the highlight was an unexpected gift to players: a free five-star character, Dr. Ratio. This generous gesture from the developers, Hoyoverse, serves as a token of appreciation for the game's dedicated player community.
How to claim your free Dr. Ratio
Dr. Ratio will be available for free between the start of Version 1.6's "Panta Rhei" Warp phase and the release of Version 2.1. Players simply need to complete the game's first mission, "A Moment of Peace," to find Dr. Ratio waiting in their mailboxes.
Honkai: Star Rail has recently received several awards, including Best Mobile Game at The Game Awards, Apple's iPhone Game of the Year, and Google Play's Best Game. This free character offer is a heartfelt thank you to all of the players who have helped the game reach its many goals. This gesture not only acknowledges the player base but also provides an exciting benefit for those wishing to get Dr. Ratio's Eidolon level without investing extra money.
Who is Dr. Ratio in Honkai Star Rail?
Dr. Ratio, an Imaginary-type character following the Path of The Hunt, is a member of the Intelligentsia Guild. His unique personality, described as self-centered and eccentric due to his habit of wearing a plaster sculpture bust over his head, has already intrigued many players. Despite his quirks, Dr. Ratio's commitment to imparting knowledge to everyone in the universe adds depth to his character.
Players are expressing joy at the prospect of saving valuable resources in the second half of Version 1.6. Additionally, the stream hinted at future updates, teasing players with glimpses of characters such as Misha, Sparkle, Black Swan, and Acheron, who will play pivotal roles in the upcoming Penacony arc. While the release date for the Penacony arc remains unconfirmed, players can anticipate its arrival early next year.
What’s Coming in Version 1.6
The Version 1.6 Special Programme not only revealed the free character but also showcased a variety of exciting content for the upcoming update. New features, story missions, limited-time events, and characters such as Ruan Mei and Xueyi were introduced.
The generosity of Honkai Star Rail extends beyond the free character giveaway. The game has also announced the return of fan favorites Kafka and Blade in banner re-runs, adding to the anticipation for version 1.6.
As the final update of 2023, Version 1.6 marks a significant milestone for Honkai: Star Rail, cementing its commitment to delivering engaging content and rewarding experiences to its player base. It is set to be the last patch in the 1.x series, followed by 2.0, a major update, as Honkai Star Rail approaches its anniversary next year.
