Honkai Star Rail: How To Get Kafka

Honkai: Star Rail allows players to control Kafka, a character with a 5-star rating. Kafka is one of the initial heroes that players can use in the game. She’s so calm and cool, can kill enemies with her lightning element, and is acquired through limited-time banners. 

How To Unlock Kafka

To acquire Honkai: Star Rail’s Kafka, players need to go through the standard procedure of obtaining any 5-star character- by making use of the title’s gacha system called Warping.

However, Kafka is not currently available in Version 1.0 and cannot be obtained through the Beginner Warp or the Standard Warp Banners.

• Kafka’s banner has not yet been released, but players can acquire her through special events that may feature her as a reward.
• Watching limited-time events and participating in them is recommended to increase the chances of obtaining Kafka.

How To Use Kafka

Honkai: Star Rail’s Kafka follows the Nihility Path, which means she excels at debuffing enemies. She has the ability to inflict damage-over-time (DoT) effects on enemies, which can significantly boost her team’s overall damage output by multiplying the damage of any other DoTs in action.

• Her Lightning element also makes her an excellent damage dealer, allowing for more versatility in party composition and the ability to counter a wider range of enemies.
• As a result, Kafka is a valuable addition to any Honkai: Star Rail team composition, especially for players who are still learning turn-based RPG mechanics.
• She is not limited to only inflicting DoTs on enemies, as she can also deal significant damage to herself, making her a powerful asset in any team.
• By integrating Kafka into a party and using her combat skills, players can effectively debuff enemies and boost their team’s performance in battles.

Waiting For Kafka

Despite her prominence in the prologue and importance to the story, there is no confirmation on when or if Honkai: Star Rail’s Kafka will receive her own banner. Fans have been eager to roll for her, but at this point in time, she is not part of any of the banners.

• The current event banner features Seele, and the next one is expected to showcase Jing Yuan.
• Speculation points towards Kafka eventually receiving her own banner as a presumed 5-star character, but it is not certain when this will occur.
• There may be character-specific events that will feature her as a reward, so it is important for players to keep an eye out for limited-time events and participate in them to increase their chances of obtaining Kafka.

Banners In Honkai: Star Rail

Banners are an essential part of Honkai: Star Rail’s gacha system, and they work similarly to those in other popular gacha games, such as Genshin Impact. Banners are special events in which players can roll for new or high-value characters, and they rotate in and out of with limited time windows.

• In Honkai: Star Rail, banners are called Warps, and there are two different types of Warps: the Departure/Stellar Warp and character-specific event Warps.
• Players need to accumulate in-game currency to make wishes on banners, such as Star Rail Passes or Special Passes.
• These currencies can be obtained through daily login bonuses, completing quests and missions, and participating in events.

The Departure/Stellar Warp

The Departure/Stellar Warp banner is the title’s beginner-oriented banner, and it offers special discounts for players who are just starting out. The Stellar Warp banner is sometimes referred to as the “standard” banner and features a wide range of characters that players can roll for. 

Character-Specific 

On the other hand, character-specific event Warps feature a particular character with a higher chance of obtaining them. When players roll on a banner, they make a wish to assign them a character or item randomly.
