BEST TIME TO START | Honkai: Star Rail Beginner Guide V2.1 

As someone who started an alt account last week, they REMOVED all TB gating, i was in Penacony on TB 29, and in 5 days I have cleared Penacony and is TB 41.

hey guys mr pokke here, back with another video

played since launch, still watch this anyway

WE'RE GETTING 3 STARS IN MOC 12 WITH THIS ONE!

Dr Ratio fixed my account. I feel bad for anyone that starts too late

Been seeing you pop up in my recommended and decided to watch this for fun, already at tl 70. This was a little useful for me! Just earned a sub :D

I would like to add something on the reset checklist : use all of your echo war attempts each week. Really great guide for new player, amazing job here!

I've just started to play, needed this kind of video (made not 10 months ago) very much, I'm soo grateful, thanks!!

Very informative video! I started playing last year at release but dropped it and came back for Sparkle, this helped me catch up!

Perfect time just wanted to get into Star Rail thanks for the guide!

Genuinely, this changes everything! Jokes aside, awesome video as always, Pokke 💛

I just started playing today, needed this kind of video I’m very appreciate this thank you so much!!! 😊

INSANEEE watched it all :)

Back with another banger of a video

I just started playing!!!! So excited! The fact that dr whatever name was still free blowed my kind and maked me so happy. I really love him and his moves

Excelent video , like always 😊

Ur ratio moc vids gave me motivation. I cleared it today. Love you

Starting HSR today and watching this for the guides! thank you. huge help!

Thanks for this video I was looking for something for new players in this new update

Yes TYSM for this guide, i know what to focus at pioneer 61 now ! I was too focus to rush endgame content but if it's permanent that's good !

Been wanting to get back into Starrail for a while now but always found myself lost on what to do, so glad you uploaded this video cuz now I can really get into it. Especially since I got my husbando Dan Heng IL and just got Sparkle as well. Need me a Starrail community to integrate myself in to so definitely joining the discord!

Love content like this, really appreciate the work put into this for noobies like me!

GENUINELY great beginners guide for new players

10/10 video, thanks Pokke.

This really helped! I’ve been playing Genshin since the day of release and when star rail came out, I wasn’t budging until I kept seeing Acheron on tik tok and I downloaded it 3 days ago. Least to say it was ALOT to take in and I was pretty lost but this video helped me ALOT with how it fully works, TY!

Prof Pokkes class is my favourite class

I thought this whole time I was watching the video on 1.25x speed, I realized 13 minutes into the video that it was normal speed LOL. he speaks so fast

Hey there! I just started playing HSR a few days ago. I just wanna say thank you for making this video. It's honestly really helpful! Yesterday, I finally got Jingliu as my third 5-star after Dr. Ratio and Yanqing (I'm excluding the Trailblazer). And honestly, she's AMAZING for me to use so far.

Why am I watching this as a day one player?

As someone who started yesterday, this is so helpful! thank you :) me and my friend both started and are having a blast we were also shocked at how generous this game is, since we came from genshin lol

i started when black swan came out thx for this refresh vid

Thank you for this I started playing 4ish days ago. I have acheron e1 and managed to get gallagher e5. Just got to TL or AR 30 needed this.

Bro looks majestic

Been playing this game since the end of Fu Xuan Banner and I'm still going to watch this!

Thanks for the tips. Here’s a tip for you too: if you’re gonna talk like that, might want to consider putting in subtitles 😅

Great video idea, hopefully your mintpicking in Genshin has convinced some of those players to follow you and discover Star Rail! 😊 A couple of things I'd add/disagree with is don't be afraid to build Himeko or Clara if you get them from the guaranteed banner or wherever. Yes they have slightly lower value than Dr. Ratio long term but not by much, especially Himeko. Her innate synergy with Herta makes them some of the strongest DPS for the endgame Pure Fiction game mode (and Dr. Ratio really struggles here). Clara likewise is quite strong in both Pure Fiction and Memory of Chaos, and she provides coverage for the physical element. She's probably the most likely to be replaced of the three in the future but I still use her a lot and she 36* any physical weak MoC with ease. Pela in my opinion is on the same level as Tingyun when it comes to build priority. With how universal she is, and not dependent on eidolons, she's an amazing asset to any team at any investment level. Her overall impact might be slightly lower than Tingyun but she's equally important to build in my opinion, especially since she synergizes so well with our free DPS Dr. Ratio. When it comes to the 4* sustains, Gallagher hasn't be released yet, but from what is known about him he's not going to be a traditional solo sustain. He excels in break teams and DoT teams, and is likely going to require some pretty deep game knowledge to fully utilize and bring him to the level of an endgame solo sustain. Lynx on the other hand is very easy to use and universal. She has a special synergy with Destruction DPS though, so keep that in mind. As a brand new player I would 100% go for Lynx as my free 4*, unless you're very infatuated with Gallagher. Waifu/Husbando > meta. Lastly the Tracks of Destiny being high priority, I dunno. I think a lot of guidemakers and spenders run out of them because they build so many characters, and with high trace levels too. I'm a $5 per month guy who pulls a lot of characters and I still have nearly 50 of them rotting in my inventory. That's one thing I don't think I'll ever run out of. That said the ones from the shop are cheap enough to still be worth getting. I recommend only bringing DPS to level 10 traces (except if they don't use it, often the case with basic attack), along with the most important trace on support characters (the one that their buff/debuff scales with), even sustains can most of the time be left at 8 or 9. That will save you a lot of trailblaze power that can go to relic farming as well.

This dude needs to talk slower 💀💀

That's the only classroom course I'm happy to attend each time!

my first 10 pull on the limited banner was the new 5 star character with the purple hair AAAA IM SO LUCKYY :D

Thx man :D

Super early game buying the purple musketeer set from the hertarium shop is very helpful.

this changes everything

nuclear guide 🔥

MoC 12 Serval 0 Cycle - Bronya Sparkle Ruan Mei Serval💀 Yup

W guide, long time Genshin player finally getting into Honkai and im loving it so far!

Come here for a refresher, thank you!

Just wanted to add that for endgame, you can still run non dps at 70/80 and still full clear moc12/p4. This can save some of your xp resources and help build endgame teams faster.

25:02 I would say get the Refined Aether from the Jokes Comes True shop as well because Aether is so hard to come by later on. There is a Golden Calyx for them, but I find it a waste because it’s much better to use your Trailblaze Power on traces/relics. So I never do them unless I absolutely need to. You’ll be able to buy everything out later on once you can clear everything in MoC and Pure Fiction anyway

im using this guide to raise my 2nd account, the units im raising first are Acheron Ruan Mei Pela and Galager ( i skipped some of the must build u pointed because i think it was a better option to raise those first )

Just started 3 days ago and this guide came thanks

Nice planning to make a new account gonna need this

PUZZLES = FREE 4-STAR RELICS. From the Xianzhou Luofu onwards the puzzle/miniboss chests will drop 4-star relics that will easily carry you through TB 50+ with zero stamina required. Keep doing them until you get the right main stats (in early game ATK chest & ATK/SPD boots for your main dps, anything is fine for supports/sustains). Puzzle/miniboss chests in Penacony often drop the follow-up relic set (Ashblazing Grand Duke) which makes it quite easy to get a 2 piece set for your Ratio without having to spend any stamina.

btw you can get a double five star on the beginner banner. I got a double on one account at 30 pulls on the beginner banner on one account. It was Yanqing and Bronya in one ten pull

ABSOLUTE CINEMA

Returned and started a new account, got sparkle, welt and clara so far. What team do you suggest to make? Don't have pela yet :(. Also, what characters should i pull on? Was thinking of trying to pull acheron and her lc

Bro, you are so clean god damn 🚬🗿🍷

Loucha is the best to start off with, game progression got much easier when I got him.

i just installed hsr for acheron 😌 so here i am scouring on youtube for beginners. guide hshs

Hi Mr. pokke if I want to main Acheron should I also try to pull for sparkle? I want to make sure I have enough pulls for the LC as well

Hey, speaking of good 4 stars character. What about Serval? She's pretty great character in my opinion. She can clear content for Jarilo-VI and I have a plan to use it for Boss

Btw I love the outro music. I miss monster hunter

So would it be a good idea to pull for acheron as a beginner?

I got acheron and her lightcone yesterday!! Should I wait for adventurine or go for Luocha??

Nice video but quick question I'm new to the game and I'm trying to save my pulls for another banner that has sam on it can I get by with the characters they give me for free?

So I got Bailu from the banner but Dr. Ratio is not available to get anymore (in 2.2) - what decent DPS should I level instead?

i like the video. 1 suggestion would be to slow down a bit when you are talking, its a little hard to follow along at certain parts.

I think I joined right on time, I made an account 3 hours before the servers closed so I got Dr. Ratio and Aventurine at 15 pity xD I got Clara from the Beginner Wish + Tingyun who I heard was good, so... yay? xD Idk who I should pull next tho

I started just 12 days ago, and I'm enjoying the Game. RIP Firefly 😢

Was the archeron build at the start good or not even though I couldn't get the gnsw and sign lightcone

20:27 well RIP I got so frustrated not pulling eidolons for Tingyun on her last banner I just went and bought 1 TY eidolon from the starlight EX. Luckily by the time I get bronya I'll be pretty close to 600.

Heya! I have just started because of 2.2 hype! I rerolled accounts until I got a 5* in my first pulls because I am a Genshin player lol. I ended up getting Advent, I also got Tingyun E1. What comp should I use to progress through the early game with these units? Is it worth dumping for Jing or should I hold off for Topaz?

Im just glad i E6'd Tingyun without knowing.

Good guide for newcomers. I wish I had free Ratio when i started last October, having Dan Heng as main DPS for first month was a pain.

Wait is Abundance and Preservation sustain? So we either only heave 1 healer or 1 tank?

1st Lets goo new guide!!

So if I started recently playing HSR, there's no reason to hold trailblazer power? I can spend all of them to level up? I didnt get it, I might be stupid xD

I got s2 Bronya LC, so I saved for Clara LC. Then I got Clara LC, so I just used the Starlight for Limited Pulls

You forgot to put the free Dr Ratio in the thumbnail 🗿

I'm a beginner Right now in level 30 and just recent landing on Penacony Should i pull for Acheron?? Or wait for any other character??

hi, as someone who just started Star Rail about a week ago, a lot of this guide went over my head when i watched it. it wasnt until I went back to watch your previous beginner's guide that fully understood/realized I misunderstood things you were talking about in this guide, which is a shame.

2.1 is expected to be released on March 27. Should I wait till 27 before I start playing?

I got my food ready to watch 😂❤ beef with rice.

we out of the drama with this one

If someone got Welt from standard, I'd say that's a pretty good unit to build along with Ratio. He works extremely well with him and Acheron, his CC will help keep your team alive/ his damage isn't bad, and imaginary is everywhere iirc. He's honestly pretty relevant ATM and at least until 2.2, where people don't have 2 REALLY good units to go with him, obtainable fairly easily, he has just as much build value as Bronya and Gepard, honestly. Clara, Himeko, and Yanqing would be the ones I'd bench. Hell, if you got Sparkle, Bronya's kinda benched too unless you're going for Jing. Also, new players get Lynx, Yukong, and QQ for free, so Nat doesn't necessarily have to be raised at all. Depending on if you get him or not while rolling for Acheron, Gallagher would be the best choice for a 2nd healer, followed by Xueyi and Hanya, personally.

sup MrPokke so for the starlight exchange section i just get a Bronya LC from my standard banner randomly so im looking for advice on one thing i also got E1 Welt from that 10 pull so is getting his Sig LC worth it? knowing that i have Bronya LC? been playing for just over a month so the decision to be a monthlypass/Battlepass spender or be F2P hasnt been made and i really dont have many good LCs at all especially nihilities and wanting to have some advice before i get to 600 starglitter have Clara an Himeko too if those are better pickups

In the beginner banner i got 2 five stars one at my 20 pulls and one at my 50 pulls

How many jades can you make from the base game as a new player

I have 3000 of those 5 star relic remain I didn't know what they did lol

How are pull rates for new characters in this game? Im thinking on starting to play honkai star rail but as someone who plays 7ds grand cross im just scared of the pull rates of good characters cause in grand crose those are scary haha

Started a 7th acc for acheron (only play 2 of them no wories)

i am a old player but i started a new account and got acheron, i know i dont need her lightcon but i want to get so i can make her stgronger i dont care about rushing the game to get 12stars moc and the only caracthers i want are, ruan mei, kafka, black swan and sparkle, should i summon for her lightcon or not, i am level 15

Can somebody explain the 1 dps + 2 supports + 1 sustain logic a bit more in depth? I'm not exactly a new arrival but I'm a permanent noob in many aspects, and I just don't know how to use the supports (or why, besides the game modes where turns are counted).

So I was looking at the relics the wrong way, was keeping all relics with good substats and ignoring the main stats.

It's like his mouth can't move at the pace his brain thinks. I've never seen something so insane.

i missed ratio LMFAO , should i pull boothill or pull fu xuan

I just started, Im building Dr Ratio and got Bailu from the beginner banner, do you guys recommend me to pull Sparkles, Acheron, Jingliu or other sustains like Loucha or Aventurine

Playing the game since launch. One thing i day to “free” to play players. Any time is a good time to start and just do the daily, is easy to do, just 15 min a day. Keep farming relics, just stock them so you have materials to level up. Battle pass is awesome if you dont want to waste much, but i only recommend it. No need for the monthly one, just save enough jades for the pulls you want.

Ngl I want Wolverine almost as much as I want Edgy Sword Mommy.

I've been informed to level traces to 10/10/10 on my DPS'? Is that too much?

Me not having tingyun yet is criminal , when is she gonna appear in banner?
