  • Once you arrive at the Astral Express, you’ll know you’re close to unlocking the Friend menu.
  • Keep playing until the Friend menu tutorial is triggered.
  • After completing this tutorial, you will have access to the Friend menu and can add friends in Honkai: Star Rail.

There are two main ways to add friends to Honkai Star Rail. Here’s a detailed explanation of both methods:

Add A Friend Using A UID

Obtain your friend’s UID (a unique identification number associated with their game account). Select the Friends icon from the Phone menu in-game. Click on the plus sign-containing icon on the left.

  • Look up your friend using their UID in the search bar.
  • Send the friend request after being located.
  • After your buddy accepts your request, you’ll become friends.

Ask A Buddy To Add You & Use Your UID

Access the phone menu in-game. The UID and a little clipboard symbol are at the top of the menu.
Copy or write down your UID and email it to a friend. For simpler sharing, the clipboard icon immediately copies the number.

Select the Friends icon from the in-game phone menu. Select the Friend Request button by tapping the top symbol on the left side. Agree to your friend’s invitation.

  • Get to Know a Stranger: Click the Friends symbol in the in-game phone menu.
  • To access the Befriend a Stranger page, tap the bottom icon on the left side.
  • You’ll be given a list of strangers.
  • To add them as friends, tap the symbol on the right side of their profile cards.
  • After adding a friend, a pro tip is that you can give them a nickname and chat with them frequently!
  • To do this, tap on their profile picture and find the option to assign a nickname.
  • This can be useful for keeping track of who’s who, especially if you want to match their in-game names to their names on other platforms like Discord.

How Do You Remove Friends?

If you wish to delete a friend from your contact list, either to create a room or because they haven’t been active in a while, do the following: Select Friends from the phone menu in-game. To view your friend’s list, tap the top symbol on the left side.

  • Locate the person whose profile you want to delete, then tap on their image.
  • Pick Remove Friend from the menu that appears; it’s really that simple. Ikr!
  • Hit Confirm when the prompt that asks whether you’re sure appears.

Pro-tip: If you want to take someone off your friends list and stop them from seeing you in-game, you can also utilize the Add to Blocklist option.

    • Keep in mind that even after unblocking them, they will not automatically reappear on your friend list.
