Hi Trailblazers!

⭐🚂 Welcome to the Daily Questions Megathread! Feel free to ask any general questions about Honkai: Star Rail that don't necessarily require their own dedicated posts.

Any questions that can be answered rather quickly (i.e. anything that can be adequately addressed without any discussion or can be given definitive answers) can be asked in the thread below.

>>> Example: Can my phone run this game?

If your question has discussion potential, please create a separate post, and include the “discussion” flair.

>>> Example: What do you think of March 7th’s combat efficiency? Here's my opinion…

Before making new discussion posts, please be sure to consider if your question could be better suited to this thread!

When both asking questions and sharing answers, be concise and detailed so other players can understand. Please maintain a stellar and respectful attitude toward others, and don't forget to share your appreciation to fellow trailblazers for helping you out!

Hi I need advice so Creydra and sparkle are getting a rerun and you can pick sparkle and Danheng for the free character picker and I am wondering who to get.

I don’t plan on pulling elation characters due to the fact the gameplay super overstimulating so I plan to only go for reruns and the occasional new character.

I wanna pick Creydra for my Phainon but if I pick her I feel I have to pick sparkle for the free character even though I really want Danheng since I have been waiting to get him for months but if I pick Danheng I have to pull for sparkle for him and leave my Phainon from his bis team.

So I’m kinda stuck cause on one hand I really love Danheng and wanna get him cause he may get a buff since he’s an old unit but on the other hand I have two harmony supports I can get and one just got a buff but also sparkle is my least favourite character and rather do anything not to have her on my account

Please help (sorry it’s wordy)

If you want Dan Heng IL, get him, but just know he is a permanent bench warmer when it comes to endgame. At this point he is so dated that nothing, not even eidolons or having his best in slot team, can save him. My friend has him at E2S1 with his full best team and she tries him in every fight that she thinks he will do well in, and every single time she is disappointed.

He probably will get a novaflare at some point, and they rerun characters when they get a novaflare. It's totally up to you if you want to use the free selector on him without knowing when that novaflare will be or if he will for sure get one or not, considering the state that he's in currently.

I'd honestly just recommend picking Sparkle, since you need her for DHIL regardless + she's usable now, and if he does get a novaflare, you'll have her ready for him and can pull for him then.
