Testing 4 server regions
How It WorksWe measure the round-trip time to each server region. Testing uses AWS infrastructure for accurate results.Your ping may vary based on network conditions.
For high-accuracy results, we recommend performing checks during peak hours.
Made by developers of Genshin, HoYoverse decided to take a turn-based tactical RPG approach with Hokai: Star Rail. The entire setup of the game is in Space and features a good enough roster of Heroes, each having their own set of unique abilities. Your objective in the game is to explore the worlds, complete various missions, and build powerful squads.
It is true that turn-based games are not as demanding as BR or MOBA games, the connection you are playing the game on still matters. The problem of delayed inputs will always be there with High Ping. So aim for below 100ms ping.
Before you create your account, connect to a high speed Wifi network and use our tool to figure out the server region with the lowest ping, then pick that region. As, once picked, you cannot switch regions.
Troubleshooting high ping issues in Honkai: Star Rail: 1) Use the realtime ping checker to check which server region is offering the lowest ping for your connection. 2) For mobile devices, try switching between Wifi and Mobile Data and decide the best option by yourself. 3) Check to see if the HoYoverse servers are facing any sort of downtime or not. 4) Make sure you are not using any VPN or Server Routing app in the background.
If you are looking to play competitively, you should aim for under 100ms. Pro players typically play at under 50ms. Just make sure that your ping doesn't go above 200ms as it will negatively impact gameplay.
Star Rail operates at N/A (Turn-based). Higher tick rates lead to more responsive hit registration. Your actions and how quickly they are registered in-game are determined by your ping and tick rate combined.
Use our Ping Test tool to figure out your latency with all the regions, and pick the one with the lowest.
Pick a wired Ethernet connection if you can, as WiFi tend to bring a lot of connection issues. Fiber connections are better than the traditional ones. Close applications that are hogging all your bandwidth. If you are going to use a WiFi router, just make sure you have QoS enabled on it. Trying Cloudflare or Google DNS can help in a lot of cases.
