Honkai Star Rail is at its peak when it comes to character releases. Every patch as of now includes at least two new characters and players are busy saving their hard-earned Stellar Jades to pull for those units.

It’s also important to mention that even though Dim is quite reliable and has a very good track record, people should still take it with a grain of salt as HoYoverse can always make changes to characters.
