As we already know, the developers are going to reveal three redeemable codes during the Honkai Star Rail 4.0 livestream. Upon claiming these codes, Trailblazers will get access to multiple rewards, while they must keep an eye on 300x Stellar Jade, which holds the highlight and utmost value among these rewards.
