Currency Wars
77 characters, 148 equipment, 33 Bonds and investment strategies — everything you need to build a squad that wins fast.
Currency Wars is an auto-battler mode in Honkai: Star Rail: you start with a fixed Squad HP, spend gold to buy characters, gain Experience and refresh the store, combine characters that share the same Bond for stacking buffs, then pick extra buffs from the Investment Portal each round until you knock out every rival squad.
Currency Wars in Honkai: Star Rail features 77 characters, 148 pieces of equipment and 33 faction/class bonds — all counted directly from game data, nothing made up.
Last updated: 31/07/2026
The figures on this page come directly from gamevika's internal game data store (counted/read straight from the real records), not an estimate or copy from elsewhere.
Currency Wars rules
1. Goal & rounds
Every match starts with a fixed Squad HP; your squad and rival squads fight across repeated rounds, and whoever runs out of Squad HP first is eliminated.
2. Gold economy
Gold earned each round buys characters, upgrades and store refreshes; leftover gold earns deposit interest between rounds, so balancing spending against saving is the core economic loop.
3. Recruiting & cost
Characters appear in the store at different cost tiers (1-5) — higher cost generally means rarer, stronger units; a full squad has 8-10 members placed On-Field or Off-Field depending on their role.
4. Bonds
Every character carries several Bond tags (origin factions like Astral Express or Stellaron Hunters, plus playstyle classes like Shield, Heal or Follow-Up ATK); fielding enough members sharing a Bond unlocks a stacking buff for the whole squad.
5. Investment Portal & tutorial
Every few rounds you pick one buff from the Investment Portal: Environment buffs affect the whole match, Strategy buffs target one specific Bond you're building around. New players should clear the two tutorial stages (Initial Test, Advanced Test) before jumping into a real match.
Currency Wars character table
77 recruitable characters — filter by faction (origin Bond) and cost to build a squad fast.
The game doesn't ship a separate biography for each character in this mode — this table only shows Currency Wars-specific info: cost, role, Bonds and Front/Back skill names.

Frequently asked questions
What kind of mode is Currency Wars in Honkai: Star Rail?
It's an auto-battler "chess mode": you spend gold to buy and upgrade characters, combine Bonds for stacking buffs, then let your squad fight rivals automatically across rounds until one side's Squad HP hits zero.
Should I pick cheap or expensive characters?
Early on, prioritize low-cost characters to fill the squad and start collecting Bonds quickly; save gold to upgrade into higher-cost characters in the mid/late game once your economy is stable, since higher cost generally comes with stronger, rarer roles.
How do Bonds work, and how should I combine them?
Each character carries a few Bond tags (origin faction plus playstyle class); the more squad members that share a Bond, the stronger that Bond's stacking buff — focus on 1-2 core Bonds instead of spreading across too many loose synergies.
Should I pick Environment or Strategy buffs at the Investment Portal?
Environment buffs affect the whole match, so they're the safer early pick before your squad has settled on a core Bond; Strategy buffs are much stronger but only useful once you're committed to the specific Bond they target.
Why do some characters/equipment here have no description?
The developer only ships written descriptions for characters/equipment with a special skill or effect; equipment with only base stats (no text) and characters without a mode-specific bio are noted honestly here instead of being invented.
