Honkai Star Rail: How to Level Up Characters Fast Guide

Here's a quick guide on how to quickly level up characters in Honkai: Star Rail.

Leveling up characters in Honkai: Star Rail means raising stats and unlocking higher levels of progression. However, Character EXP materials can be depleted quickly, especially when leveling multiple characters. Allocate your resources wisely to speed up the leveling of your best characters.

Prioritize Your Main Team

First, choose the most common characters you use. Focus on your Main DPS first, then your Supports and Sub-DPS. You don’t want to blow a bunch of EXP materials on every character you have, that can leave your main team under leveled. A small group of well-leveled characters is much more useful than a large roster of half-developed ones.

Farm Character EXP Materials

The main way to obtain Character EXP materials is from Calyx (Golden): Bud of Memories. These stages will provide Traveler's Guides, and other EXP items in exchange for Trailblaze Power. One of the best ways to quickly get EXP is to use Trailblaze Power on these Calyxes. As you go through your account, the difficulty will increase and so will the rewards.

Finish Missions and Events

Missions, events, assignments and other activities grant Character EXP materials without consuming Trailblaze Power. Complete limited-time events whenever you can as they often give useful resources along with Stellar Jades.

Use Assignments

Eventually, assignments will reward more Character EXP materials. Check your assignments and send characters on useful missions when you can. Assignments won’t provide enough EXP to fully level a character, but their rewards stack up over time, reducing the amount of Trailblaze Power you’ll have to spend farming EXP.

Don’t Level Everybody At Once

Don’t try to level up your entire roster at once. Focus on developing your core team before pouring a lot of resources into other characters. Before you use your EXP materials, ask yourself if the new character actually fits on your current teams.

Upgrade in the Correct Order

Strength isn’t just a matter of character level. When you get to a decent level don’t forget to upgrade your character’s Light Cone, Traces and Relics as well. A high level character with neglected equipment can be worse off than a well-developed character at a slightly lower level. Don't spend everything on character levels, balance your resources.

Final Advice

If you want to level up characters fast, focus on your main team, farm Calyx (Golden): Bud of Memories, do events and use Assignments for passive resources. Above all, don’t spend your EXP materials on characters you don’t intend to use. It’s a great way to manage your Trailblaze Power and resources while building a focused roster that will make your account stronger.
