Should You Pick a Male or Female Character in Honkai Star Rail?

Two trails to blaze

Trailblazers’ first gameplay choiceย during their adventure inย Honkai: Star Railย is choosing between a male or female main character. This event occurs after your brief experience with theย gunslinging Kafkaย and her companion, Silver Wolf. They’ve managed to discover the location of their target rarity โ€” a Stellaron. However, this critical technology isn’t going to carry itself. Accordingly,ย Honkai: Star Rail compels you to pick between activating Receptacle Stelle or Receptacle Caelus. Like the start of a Pokemon adventure, the result of this choice is permanent and cannot be changed, so choose wisely.

Should You Choose Stelle or Caelus in Honkai Star Rail?

Similar to Aether and Lumine ofย Genshin Impact, there’s no difference between the MCs Stelle or Caelus inย Honkai: Star Rail. All their dialogue options are the same, as well as their combat abilities and stats, so the choice won’t affect your theorycrafting. Characters will not treat you any differently throughout the story, as you are the blank-slate main character ofย Honkai: Star Rail.

A few might have wished for more practical differences or variety between Stelle and Caelus inย Honkai: Star Rail. However, this gameplay choice couldn’t be better, as it lets players pick whoever resonates with them the most. Of course, there are noticeable differences in their appearance, but “who looks better” is only determined by you. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and whoever you think looks best is the best MC inย Honkai: Star Rail.

What Are the Differences Between the Main Characters in Honkai Star Rail?

In our case, we chose Receptacle Stelle, as Traveler Lumine was also our pick inย Genshin Impact. We must admit Caelus’s fit is superbly stylish and shouldn’t be overlooked by anyone who appreciates a cyberpunk yet sci-fi outfit. Conversely, Stelle is more elegant, as she dons a skirt and high heels instead of slacks and flashy sneakers. Please note that these are our observations. Other Trailblazers might have a completely different perspective on the male or female main characters’ appearances inย Honkai: Star Rail.

Bothย Honkai: Star Rail’sย main characters appear reserved in nature, but the story will develop their personality as time progresses. After all, you are the one who will choose their dialogue options when reacting to other characters. Still, most players will likely choose one or more characters from the Astral Express, primarily using these preferred units during their playthrough. As a result, their choice regarding the male or femaleย Honkai: Star Railย character can become less important in the long run.
