Honkai: Star Rail Reroll Process

Rerolling isn't that much recommended for the Honkai: Star Rail tier list, considering the fact that the Departure Warp banner allows you to earn a five-star character within your first 50 pulls. And the drop rates for the high star characters are not that big and it will take so much time to do a pull. On the other hand, Honkai: Star Rail doesn't have a guest account option. So, if you have earned an unnecessary character, then you have to use a whole new email account to reset the game and reroll again and again.

But still, if you insist on doing a reroll and spend more time earning heroes from the Honkai: Star Rail tier list, here is how to do it.
