It can take up to two hours to reroll in Honkai: Star Rail
One of the biggest draws of MiHoYo's newest game, Honkai: Star Rail is the characters involved. Some you gain through the progression of the story. Other characters need to be unlocked through a random-drop gacha mechanic. Here's how to reroll in Honkai: Star Rail.
Whilst it is technically possible to progress through Honkai: Star Rail regardless of what characters you have, players can become invested in individual characters. Other are more powerful and make the experience easier to deal with.
There are ways to get favorite characters of yours even if you don't get lucky enough to obtain them in your first attempt. The pull rate for some of the best characters using Honkai's gacha system is quite low, so if you're wanting to reroll for a specific one, get ready to dedicate some time to it.
What is rerolling in Honkai: Star Rail?
Rerolling in Honkai: Star Rail is the process of making new accounts and using the Star Rail Passes that you acquire to continually reroll the characters that you get.
It used to be incredibly easy to reroll in MiYoHo's previous title Genshin Impact. That game did not require a verified email account in order to create new accounts. Now, players need to verify their email to get access to new accounts.
When on the login screen, follow the simple steps to create a new account. This can be done in the game client or on the MiHoYo website. These are the things you will need to set up new accounts:
- Email address
- Verification code (sent to the email address provided)
- Password
- TIP: For the first few rerolls, try just swapping servers on your original account. Progress does not carry over to different servers.
Fastest reroll method
The speed on which you reroll your accounts can depend on how long you want to spend on each one. This is dictated by how far you are willing to go into the game before deciding to start again. Here's the steps to follow for the quickest reroll method in Honkai: Star Rail.
- Create a new account.
- Start the game and pick your character.
- Progress until you meet Himeko and Asta in the space center. This is where you are able to start using the Warp feature. Asta is guaranteed to be the first Warp.
- Use the 20 Star Rail Passes that you receive in your in-game mail to pull the Departure Warp banner.
- If you don't get the character you want start again.
This method takes around 30 minutes.
Slower reroll method
If you want to take a bit more time to reroll your account, you can progress a bit further into the game. This method takes a little longer but is just adding a few extra steps.
- Complete all steps from the Fastest reroll method.
- After pulling those 20 Star Rail Passes, use active codes to get as many Stellar Jades as possible. We've got a helpful guide with all of the active codes right now here.
- Claim all of the achievements you have for making it through the tutorial section of the game.
- Use all of these Stellar Jades to pull on the limited banner. This should give you another four Star Rail Passes, giving you enough for another multi-pull on the Departure Warp banner.
This method takes 40-45 minutes.

Is it worth it to reroll in Honkai: Star Rail?
Quite honestly, no. It isn't really worth it to reroll in Honkai: Star Rail. The game's pull rates are so low that it makes it really frustrating to reroll for a favorite character.
You can beat the game with almost any composition of characters and you should only reroll your account if you have your heart set on one character to be part of your team. It also takes a lot of time and investing that much time can be incredibly frustrating.
On the other hand, if you want the best of the best, characters such as Welt or Gerpard, maybe rerolling is for you.
