Honkai: Star Rail's spend shop shares Genshin's DNA but with a couple of wrinkles: Stellar Jades are slightly faster to farm, patches are 6 weeks instead of 6, and the Nameless Honor battle pass has a different material load-out. If you're deciding between Express Supply Pass and Nameless Glory for the current patch, here's the 2026 math.
TL;DR:
- Express Supply Pass ($4.99): HSR's answer to Welkin Moon. 300 Oneiric Shards upfront + 90 Stellar Jades daily × 30 days. Best Jade-per-SGD in the game.
- Nameless Glory ($9.99): premium Nameless Honor pass. 680 Stellar Jades + 4 Star Rail Special Passes + Light Cones + materials.
- Patch-length matters: HSR patches are 6 weeks, which aligns 1.5 Express Pass cycles to one Nameless Glory. Plan accordingly.
- Oneiric Shards standalone: worst value unless chasing a specific banner with low pity reserve.
- Singapore route: Elitedias via PayNow, delivered within minutes of payment confirmation.
What each subscription delivers
Express Supply Pass
- Price: $4.99 USD (~S$6.99).
- Upfront reward: 300 Oneiric Shards (convert 1:1 to Stellar Jades).
- Daily reward: 90 Stellar Jades per day for 30 days via mail.
- Total Jades: 3,000 per 30-day cycle.
- Jade-per-SGD: ~429 per SGD, the best Jade rate in the shop.
Nameless Glory (Premium Battle Pass)
- Price: $9.99 USD (~S$13.99) per 6-week patch.
- Stellar Jades: 680 (across tier rewards).
- Star Rail Special Passes: 4 (equivalent to 640 Jades).
- Light Cones: one selectable 4-star Light Cone (pick one of several).
- Materials: Credits, Traveler Guides, relic synthesis fuel, refined aether, and upgrade materials.
The patch math: which delivers more pulls per 6 weeks?
A 6-week patch covers one full Nameless Glory cycle and roughly 1.4 Express Supply Pass cycles (since Express Pass renews every 30 days, not every patch).
Per 6 weeks (one patch):
- 1× Express Supply Pass: 3,000 Jades = 18 wishes. Covers 30 days, leaves 12 days uncovered before you'd buy again.
- 2× Express Supply Pass (consecutive): 6,000 Jades = 37 wishes. Covers 60 days (fully covers the 42-day patch with 18 days of carryover into the next).
- 1× Nameless Glory: 680 Jades + 4 Special Passes = ~1,320 Jades equivalent = ~8 wishes, plus Light Cone, Traveler Guides, and materials.
Pure Jade efficiency: 2× Express Pass per patch = 37 wishes for ~$10 (~S$14) total. Nameless Glory alone = 8 wishes for $9.99. Nameless Glory only wins if the Light Cone and materials matter to you.
When Express Pass wins, when Nameless Glory wins
- Endgame pullers (TB level 60+): Express Pass every month. You don't need materials or Light Cones anymore. You need Jades for the next banner.
- Mid-game (TB 40-60): run both. Nameless Glory's Light Cone and Traveler Guides accelerate character builds noticeably. Express Pass handles baseline pulls.
- Early game (TB under 40): Nameless Glory first, Express Pass second. You're bottlenecked by character XP, relic materials, and Credits more than you are by pulls.
- F2P pick-one: Express Supply Pass. Hands down the best deal in the shop.
When NOT to buy either
- You log in 1-2× per week. Express Pass's daily 90-Jade claim collapses to 20-30% of full value, making it a worse deal than a standard Jade pack.
- You're skipping the current patch (no banner interest). Save the $10.
- You're already at 60+ pity on a banner you want. Just stockpile and pull now rather than routing through a subscription.
How to top up Oneiric Shards in Singapore
In-app Oneiric Shard purchases via Google Play or the App Store carry the standard 15-30% cut. HoYoverse's own web top-up center skips that cut but charges in USD, which costs a few percent in FX.
Elitedias tops up Honkai: Star Rail through authorised distributors using your UID. The order form asks only for that UID, with no account binding and no in-app path. Delivery is within minutes of payment confirmation.
For Singapore players, PayNow is a low-cost way to pay: a direct SGD transfer from your bank app with no FX spread.
Is it safe to top up Honkai: Star Rail from a third party?
Yes, as long as the platform sources its top-ups through authorised distributors rather than reseller codes, gift cards, or account-binding shortcuts. Elitedias tops up through authorised distributors, so the currency is credited to the UID you enter and you never share a login.
Key red flags with unknown top-up sites: asking for your account password, requiring you to share your Facebook or Google login, promising 30%+ discounts on in-app pricing (almost always a scam), and no visible review history. Elitedias is reviewed publicly on Trustpilot at trustpilot.com/review/elitedias.com, and the order form for this game asks only for your public UID.
Verdict
Express Supply Pass is the single best-value spend in Honkai: Star Rail. Buy it every month you're actively playing. Nameless Glory is worth adding only if you're still building out your roster and materials. For pure banner pulling, two Express Passes per patch beat Nameless Glory by a wide margin. Top up via Elitedias with PayNow to keep the whole stack in SGD without platform fees.
