Quick Links
There are plenty of reasons for Honkai: Star Rail to be as famous as it is, and one of them is the wide range of characters offered by the game. You can get some of these characters for free simply by progressing, but most of them are locked behind a gacha system, which can be pretty frustrating for some players.
The outcomes of your battles in the game can differ significantly based on the characters you pull at the start. Thankfully, there is a way for you to get your favorite characters even if you're not lucky enough to get them in your first account.
Updated May 8, 2023: We've updated this article to include a video guide that shows you how to reroll in Honkai: Star Rail.
How To Make A New Account
It seems like Hoyoverse has learned from their initial mistake in Genshin Impact where they allowed players to create as many guest accounts as they wanted to. This system would let you make as many reroll accounts as you want without any repercussions. Things became significantly harder when you had to use a verified email address.
If you want to make a new account in Honkai: Star Rail, you can do that through the "Log In" button on the game's starting screen or through Hoyolab itself. When you're on the screen to fill in your Login details, you can click on the "Register Now" button. This will take you to a screen where you'll have to fill in the following:
- Email Address
- Verification Code sent to your email address
- Desired Password
- Retype the desired password
After providing all the information, your Hoyoverse account will be created and you'll be able to start a new game on any server you want. Alternatively, you can also switch servers with the same account to start a new game since the progress isn't shared between different servers.
An extra step will be added if you're trying to create a new account through the Hoyolab website.
You'll have to click on the avatar on the top right of your screen before you can click on "Register Now".
How To Progress In The Rerolled Account
Once you've created a new account, the next question is how far you should go before you reroll again. This question doesn't have a singular answer, and it completely depends on what you want from a reroll and how much time you want to spend on each account. Based on that, the progression can be divided into three tiers:
Tier | Progress Required | Average Time Taken |
---|---|---|
Fastest Reroll |
| 30 minutes |
Medium-Paced Reroll |
| 40 minutes |
Slowest Reroll |
| 1 - 1.5 hour |
Out of all the tiers, the medium tier is the best for casual reroll since it gives you the most value in the least amount of time.
Is It Worth Rerolling In Honkai: Star Rail?
Out of all the games out there, Honkai: Star Rail is one of the hardest when it comes to reroll. Not only does it take a lot of time, but it also gets quite repetitive and frustrating if you don't get lucky in the first couple of accounts. Although, as mentioned above, the characters you get at the start can significantly change your experience.
If you're a casual player who isn't interested in any specific character, it's probably not worth rerolling since you can still beat most of the game with almost any character in the correct setting. On the other hand, if you want to try your luck until you get specific characters like Himeko or Welt, you can try to re-roll.
At the end of the day, you should be doing what's more fun for you since it's all about your experience.
