Getting started
Pick your platform and server channel, then follow the matching guide.
Two things decide which guide you need: what you play on, and which server channel you play on.
| Platform | Server channel | Launcher | Guide |
|---|---|---|---|
| Windows | March7th.cc (default, Hong Kong) | Cyrene Launcher | Windows · Cyrene Launcher |
| Windows | HoyoToon (Europe) | Cyrene Launcher | Windows · Cyrene Launcher |
| Windows | KunPS (backup, China) | Cyrene Launcher | Windows · Cyrene Launcher |
| macOS | Chosen in Evernight-Launcher | Evernight-Launcher | macOS |
On Windows the channel is picked in Cyrene Launcher's settings. Pick the one closest to you — latency depends on the distance to the server.
The three servers are separate: accounts and saves do not carry over between them. Choose one and stay on it.
What you need first
- The launcher — download the latest Windows release. It is a single portable executable.
- A game client. The server does not distribute client or diff files; see beta client.
- A game account on your server channel:
- March7th.cc — create it on this website: sign up, verify your email, then use the Game accounts card on your profile.
- HoyoToon — register at march7th.hoyotoon.com or in game.
- KunPS — register in game.
A Cyrene account (this website) and a game account are different things. The Cyrene account is for the website and launcher sign-in; see account & linking.
After your first launch
- Use SRTools to give yourself characters, Light Cones and Relics.
- Enhanced characters need enhanced state（加强状态） switched on in game, or their kit behaves like the base version.
- Maintenance windows are posted in QQ group 1106945834; on Discord, watch #announcement and #update.
