Variable Dice is one of the new crafting materials introduced in the big Amphoreus update forHonkai: Star Rail, and while it isn’t as impactful as some other items, it can definitely alleviate some of the frustration players have with the game’s Relic system.
Getting agod roll Relic inHSRinvolves a ton of luck and patience, and even more so once players actually start upgrading them. Variable Dice helps alleviate the latter part of the process, and they’ll be extremely valuable once players get their inventories stocked up with good relics that were unlucky enough to get their substat upgrade distributions messed up.
How to Get Variable Dice in HSR
There are a couple of ways to get Variable Dice, and the one that does not involve spending any real money is to use the game’s crafting system. To make one Variable Dice, you’ll needthree Self-Modeling Resins, a rare resource that, so far,can only be obtained via the battle pass. Players can get a Self-Modeling Resin in the pass for free once they reach Level 20, and they can get another upon reaching level 50 after purchasing the premium pass. More may be earned from other sources, such as the Divergent Universe
The battle pass resets after every patch, which roughly translates to a six-week duration for each pass. It will take a little over a month to get enough Self-Modeling Resins to craft one Variable Dice. However, players who decide to get the premium battle pass canget a Variable Dice upon reaching Level 40. Keep in mind that Self-Modeling Resins are used forcrafting custom relics inHSR.
HSRmay have events that include Variable Die as rewards. Make sure to check the rewards in each event so as not to miss out on anything.
How to Use Variable Dice
To use Variable Dice, players must firstupgrade a relic all the way to 15.Select a fully-upgraded relic, and click on the Reroll button on the lower-right. Rerolling will cost one Variable Dice every time regardless of how many times a relic has been rerolled before.
To be clear, rerolling a reliconly affects the upgrade distribution for substats, not the substats themselves. If you use a Variable Dice on a relic that rolled +4 to DEF, then those four upgrades will then get randomly distributed to the other substats.
Players who want to get relics with specific substats will have touse Wishful Resin instead, a type of crafting resourcespecifically made for picking specific substatsduring the Relic Synthesis process.
