The developers of Honkai: Star Rail held a traditional broadcast dedicated to the release of a new patch. At the same time, part of the stream was dedicated to the holiday – on April 26, the game will turn one year old.
As part of this, update 2.1, which will be released on March 27, will contain several themed events with gifts for players – below we will tell you how not to miss anything important and get all the free rewards for the anniversary of the project.
How to get free spins in version 2.1
First of all, the login event will soon return to Honkai: Star Rail – to collect rewards, you just need to log in every day. Just seven days – and you will receive 20 special jumps for event banners with characters and weapons.
Usually, such an event is available from the very beginning of the patch and lasts until its completion: so all jumps can be obtained both in the first week ( from March 27 to April 2 ) and in the last one – as convenient. Let’s just note that in honor of the holiday, the rewards are doubled – 20 “spins” instead of 10.
In addition, one year after the release of HSR, all players will receive 1600 Star Jade via in-game mail. The letters will be sent on April 26 – just go to the menu and click on the envelope icon.
Jade is a little more valuable than gold tickets, because if desired, it can be exchanged for any type of jump and used in any banner, as well as replenish the energy supply when farming resources or artifacts.
Stellar Odyssey Event – What’s Already Known
One of the events in version 2.1 will be a board game where you can refresh your memories of your Honkai: Star Rail adventures over the past year. The exact time is unknown, but it is not the main event – so expect it to start in mid-April.
The gameplay will resemble Monopoly: the character rolls a dice every day and moves around the map, participating in activities and collecting currency. The developers note that it will be possible to compete with friends in absentia, but how this will be implemented is also unclear.
The rewards include a tool for creating an artifact, new phone wallpapers, and star jade. Judging by the event cover from the stream, players will be able to get 520 jade for completing the entire game and at least another 240 jade (possibly more) for the currency earned.
Other Honkai Star Rail Anniversary Awards
In addition to the resources and cosmetic rewards in the event, the developers of Honkai: Star Rail have prepared a couple more useful bonuses in honor of the holiday.
- 300% rewards with planar decorations and artifacts. During the event, farming character buffs will be much easier – you can get a triple reward several times a day after completing a dungeon.
- Reset of all bonuses for the first purchase in the store. Help for donators – the first time buying a pack in HSR, the player received twice as much star jade. After the release of 2.1, this can be done again (works with each set separately).
The developers have also prepared several browser events for the game’s birthday. One of them is the “Immersive Exhibition”, which is already available at the link . After logging in, you can examine the exhibition in detail on the event page and take a photo.
And by clicking the “Get Reward” button, various tasks and mini-games will open – for completing them, you can get promo codes for 120 star jade and food. And in the final, the developers promise to raffle off an iPhone 15 Pro and PlayStation 5 among all participants.
Free Rewards in Version 2.1 – Character and Jade
In addition to the anniversary bonuses, Honkai: Star Rail players will be able to get one character and donation currency for free by completing new content during version 2.1.
For the event “Stories at the Bottom of a Glass”, in which players will be offered to try themselves in the role of a bartender and prepare cocktails for local monsters, you can get a four-star hero of your choice.
After completing the event, everyone will be able to choose their “four” – there are eight options in total, including the new character of abundance (healing allies) Gallagher . Thus, you will not need to spend jade from the banner on him – but you will need to wait until the end of the event.
According to rough estimates, without any investments you can get currencies for more than 100 attempts to open the banner. And with the supply pass and the battle pass, the number can be increased to 140-150 jumps – these are almost two guaranteed five-star characters:
- Anniversary rewards – 30 jumps;
- exploring new areas and completing the story – about 10 jumps;
- temporary events and activities – about 15 jumps;
- passing through the virtual universe – about 10 jumps;
- daily tasks – about 15 jumps;
- “Hall of Oblivion” and “Pure Fiction” – about 15 jumps;
- Store update in April and May – 10 jumps.
It is worth considering that 100 “spins” in the free-to-play format can only be obtained by the end of version 2.1. This may not be enough for Acheron, the banner of which will only be available in the first half – so pay attention to your jade reserves and use them wisely.
