Should You Choose Stelle or Caelus in Honkai: Star Rail?

After a quick introduction to the game, you see that Kafka and Silver Wolf activate their Receptacle during the invasion of the Herta Space Station by the Antimatter Legion. You can choose between Receptacle X (female) and Receptacle Y (Male). Receptacle X’s name is Stelle, and Receptacle Y’s is Caelus. So then, what is the difference between the two?

The only difference between Stelle and Caelus in Honkai: Star Rail is their gender. So far, the only reason you should choose one over the other is if you want to play as a specific gender. Your character Type and Path Followed will be the same regardless of your choice. This is also true with other HoYoverse games like Genshin Impact, where the opposite gender doesn’t play a role.

As mentioned before both Receptacle characters share the same profile:

  • Rarity: 5-Star
  • Path: Adaptive
  • Element: Adaptive
  • Affiliation: The Nameless

Remember that once you choose between Receptacle X and Y and then set your Receptacle Codename, you cannot change your mind if you do not like your original choice.
