A new Honkai Star Rail leak has teased Penacony's reward system. It will reportedly provide generous rewards like free pulls and Lightcones. The game provides a wide range of rewards in every version, showing the developer's appreciation for the player base.

Trailblazers can obtain Stellar Jades with each new update, which they can use on banners to unlock Light Cones and characters. They must, however, finish several tasks, including quests and events, that are only accessible for a certain period to receive these in-game credits.

A portion of the Stellar Jade bounty comes from the battle dungeons of the title, including Forgotten Hall and Simulated Universe, where players must engage in challenging gameplay situations. According to a recent Honkai Star Rail leak, players can obtain free Stellar Jade and Light Cones on the new planet by participating in its reward system.

A feature called the Clock Statue awards Trailblazers with better rewards as they advance through the game, with a maximum of four character pulls. Additionally, it provides a complimentary version of Gallagher's signature weapon, which is anticipated to be a five-star variant.
