Oh boy!

The five-star character in question is none other than the Dr. Ratio, an Imaginary type character belonging to The Hunt path.

Players who have completed "The Blue — A Moment of Peace" mission and have unlocked the Mailbox function will be able to claim him for free starting the 1.6 update, which comes out on December 27, till the end of the version 2.1 update.

While Honkai Star Rail players are happy about it; what excites them even more, is the hope that if Hoyoverse is giving away a free five-star unit for winning awards, what will they offer on the game's anniversary?

Well! If you as us, we will recommend lowering your expectations as they often lead to disappointment. Now talking about the free reward, personally, I am happy that Hoyoverse is giving away a free five-star unit.

But, at the same time, I am sad, as I wish they would have given someone like Ruan Mei for free, a perfect gift for me and many others during the holiday season.

Now, as you may have expected, Genshin Impact players are not happy, including me, as even though the community has given so much to the game, the anniversary rewards often fall short and are underwhelming.

Anyways, what do you think about the Honkai Star Rail free five-star unit? Do you think Hoyoverse should finally give us a five-star character of our choice during the Genshin Impact 2024 anniversary? Share your thoughts in the comments.
