How to get Firefly in Honkai: Star Rail
The Firefly Character Event Warp starts on June 18 with the start of Version 2.3.
You need to use a Star Rail Special Pass (costs 160 Stellar Jades) to initiate warp and try to unlock Firefly in the game. As she is a 5-star character the drop rate is very small. To hack the system and get really good chances of obtaining Firefly, you need to collect nine 90 Star Rail Special Passes and initiate 90 wraps. Reportedly this method guarantees you one 5-star character. During the Firefly banner, her drop rate is increased to 75%.
The other 5-star character coming in Honkai: Star Rail 2.3 is Jade. Apparently, she arrives in Phase 2.
Firefly level-up and Ascension materials
Right after the drop, Firefly obviously has her minimal level. You need to level her up to make the character effective in battles.
