All Honkai Star Rail Characters – Full List (January 2026)

Honkai Star Rail features a massive cast of characters that continues to expand with every update. Hoyoverse introduces new playable and non-playable characters in every version, making it quite hard for players to keep track of all of them. Every HSR character follows a specific path, features an element type, and is part of a faction. For a normal player, it’s simply not possible to remember all the stats for every character. So, here is a complete list of all Honkai Star Rail characters, both playable and non-playable.

All Playable HSR Characters

Currently, there are 80 characters in Honkai Star Rail, including all of the Trailblazer paths. Here is a list of playable HSR characters, including their path, release date, element, and role.
