Honkai Star Rail players have crowned the game's best standard character, and you can also get her for free. That said, don't be afraid to spend a huge excess of embers on the character materials which are also available via Embers Exchange.

I'll probably try to stay above 1,800 just in case I end up going a few updates without doing a lot of pulls. Going forward, you should always try to keep at least 900 embers in reserve so you can buy all the free passes every month. You'll then have all of May to save up another 900 embers, which won't be hard at all with semi-regular play. April is just a bit of a crunch due to the launch timing.

You need to do this before reset time on Sunday, April 30, which is when Honkai Star Rail's in-game store will switch to the month of May. The important thing to remember is that if you play the game for just a few hours and cash in all your free pulls, you'll get enough embers that you should spend on some more free pulls which are going away very soon. I realize this is a lot of recursive currencies. Honkai: Star Rail is the best free-to-play game of the year so far.
