Shields in Honkai Star Rail: how to get and use

In Honkai: Star Rail, shields are a type of in-game currency that is required to purchase various items in a special shop on the planet Yarilo VI. You can earn it by finding chests, revealing secrets and completing some tasks.

In this guide, we will describe all the ways to get shields, as well as what you can spend them on, and what rewards you will receive for using this world currency. Note that there are similar money in other worlds: Arrows (Lofu Xianzhou) and Hertariums (Space station Hertha).

How to earn shields in Honkai: Star Rail

The in-game description indicates that this is the official currency of Belobog, so it can only be obtained and spent in the specified region. The exchange rate of shields to credits is 1:50, however, players will not be able to exchange them anywhere. Next, we will tell you exactly how you can get shields.

Adventure missions

Relatively easy and profitable way to earn shields, since for most side quests you can get 100 shields. At the moment, 12 tasks can be completed at the station with the corresponding reward:

• ring and scene 2
• Quiet but brilliant
• Gladiator
• Night in the big mine I
• The Wisdom of Survival
• Adventure Moles
• Vessel of mediocrity. Part I
• Vessel of mediocrity. Part II
• Vessel of mediocrity. Part III
• Out of control
• Ancestral Drill (200 Shields)
• When business knocks on the door

Thus, on quests alone you can earn at least 1300 shields. Here are just some of them that open only after completing certain story missions and reaching the 26th level of Mastering and above, so you won’t be able to get the currency right away.

Companion missions

Another profitable method of obtaining shields, since for each quest of a companion associated with Yarilo-VI, you can immediately get 200 units of this currency. This list includes the following companion missions :

• Unseen caress I
• Unseen caress II
• Treasure of the Old Brigadier
• Baby Hook's Treasure
• Gift Hook
• Origin of the drug
• Blizzard Immunity
• Express Time
• Just a child

Thus, for completing all these tasks, you can get at least 1800 shields.

Chests

We advise you to take up the study of all locations of the snowy planet, since on its territory you can find a considerable number of ordinary, valuable and luxurious chests, in which, in addition to stellar nephrites, you can find shields (in this way it is quite possible to get more than a thousand coins). IN separate guide we have demonstrated the location of all the chests on Yarilo-VI.

Secrets

The most time-consuming way to earn shields, since these secret mini-quests are not marked in any way on the map and in the quest log. Plus, some of them require collecting and finding certain objects in different locations. But by finding all the secrets on the planet, you can get over 460 shields. IN separate guide we showed all the secrets on Yarilo-VI and told how to reveal them.

How to spend shields

At the moment, you can use this currency only in one store - it is located in Kamnegrad, not far from the Grand Hotel Goethe anchor. Talk to Lauder and say you want to buy something.

Here you can purchase a wide variety of items, including the Shadow of Destruction (unlocks Eidolons from the Pathfinder on the Destruction path). The table below shows the entire range of the merchant.

Shield rewards

By spending certain amounts of this currency, you will receive additional rewards. If you use all the shield earning methods listed above, you will be able to accumulate enough to buy back all goods and receive all rewards.

The table below shows how many shields you need to spend to receive rewards.

We hope that our Honkai: Star Rail shield guide will help you earn enough Yarilo-VI local currency to buy all the goods in a special store.
