Meeting Herta & Boarding the Astral Express! - [First Time Playing Honkai: Star Rail] - #2 

I believe the little dots are just a history of the path you've traveled on

I would love to see a video with you reading the rest in the Data Bank, it has so much story, the universe in Star Rail is really big *No pun intended lol*

Hey, I'm enjoying your series so far! Whenever you get to pulling and looking into banners more, I suggest you use your permanent tickets (the white ones) on the departure banner since it's the banner for beginners and you are guaranteed a 5* much more quickly than with the regular permanent banner. I suggest NEVER using stellar jades (the currency that is used to buy pulls) to buy white ones since you'll want to focus on the golden tickets (the event banners). As for what the event banners are...there is usually a new character banner and then a rerun banner with past character(s). Then, the two light cone events are simply the signature light cone for the characters that are currently available for event banners. So for example Feixiao is now the newest character so she is in the current even banner and her light cone is in the event light cone banner. I suggest just pulling for who you like and of course doing the trials for both the new characters and the ones in the permanent banner so you can see how they play and whether you like them. As you play more I'm sure you'll develop tastes for one character or the other and then you can consider whether you want to go for characters that make your faves stronger or not. Hopefully this isn't overwhelming to you! If you have any questions, I should see any replies to this comment so just ask away. I hope you enjoy the game and don't forget to pull the daily login reward if you want a few more pulls!
