Honkai: Star Rail F2P Progression Plan 2026

A free account in 2026 can clear most content with Trailblazer, March 7th, Dan Heng, Himeko, Serval, Asta, Pela, Natasha, and Gallagher, plus one well-chosen limited support. Refine shop 4★ cones and farm one carry set before anything else.

Free Core Units

Trailblazer (flex), March 7th (shield), Dan Heng (Wind), Himeko (Fire AoE), Serval (Lightning AoE), Asta (buffer), Pela (DEF shred), Natasha/Gallagher (heal). These cover every role for story and early endgame.

One Smart Pull

Spend your guaranteed on a single premium support — Bronya or Sunday — because one action-advance support multiplies every free carry you own far more than a second DPS would.

Resource Plan

Refine Swordplay and A Secret Vow to R5, farm one 4-pc carry set, and save Stellar Jade for banners that finish a core. Avoid the standard Light Cone banner — shop cones are enough.
