If you don’t select a character in Phase 1, you’ll receive a letter from a random character instead. Once the event ends, you won’t be able to claim the letter or rewards.
3. Annual Trailblaze Report
Starting on April 26, you can access your personalized Annual Trailblaze Report, which:
- Summarizes all your in-game activity over the past year.
- Shows interesting stats like dialogue choices you’ve made.
- Compares your gameplay style to other players worldwide.
- Rewards you with 180 Stellar Jades for participating.
This is a fun way to look back at your journey through the game over the past year.
4. Cherished Recollection
For players who purchase Oneiric Shards during Version 3.2, the Cherished Recollection event offers tiered rewards:
| Oneiric Shards Accumulated | Reward |

The Golden Companion Spirit is particularly valuable as it can be exchanged for a 5-star character (choosing between Ruan Mei and Luocha).
For players who make purchases, the First Purchase Double Bonus for Oneiric Shards will be reset with Version 3.2. This means if you’ve already used your first-time bonuses, they’ll be available again, offering doubled crystal amounts for the same price.
5. Triple Relic Rewards Events
For players focused on character building, the anniversary brings boosted resource events too, such as:
- Planar Fissure 300%: Triple rewards for Planar Ornaments.
- Realm of the Strange 300%: Triple rewards for Relics.

Beyond the rewards and events, HoYoverse has prepared special content to commemorate the anniversary:
- “Star Rail LIVE” Concert
- Two-year Anniversary Special Animated Short
These anniversary features are a great way to look back on the game’s journey and give something special to fans who enjoy the world and story of Honkai Star Rail. The second anniversary is packed with good rewards for both free-to-play and paying players. Just be sure to log in during Version 3.2 so you don’t miss out on any of the free items or events.
