It's not often that fans of Honkai: Star Rail get offered completely free 4-Star characters, let alone 5-Star characters. Luckily, though, once the new Version 1.6 is released, you'll be able to get the new character, Dr. Ratio, completely for free. He is part of The Hunt Path, and is an Imaginary type.

Even for players who might be new to the game or recently returning, you'll still be able to pick up the 5-Star character with relative ease. To find out how you can add the newcomer to your team for free, this guide will show you how to get Dr. Ratio.

Dr. Ratio is a brand-new 5-Star character coming to Honkai: Star Rail in the second half of Version 1.6. This will be released on January 17th, 2024, with Dr. Ratio as the main character banner and Kafka coming in as the rerun banner character.

Dr. Ratio is a part of The Hunt Path, and uses Imaginary-type attacks. He is a member of the Intelligentsia Guild, a faction within the game that harbors some of the most intelligent people in the galaxy. Because of his high status, though, many have noted his self-centered personality and his arrogance. However, it is not completely unwarranted, considering his incredible intelligence and talents.
