I dropped into a match and froze: two unfamiliar silhouettes—Kafka and Blade—were dueling on a rooftop, and everyone was staring. I felt that small, electric nudge gamers get when a crossover lands in the item shop, like neon knives cutting through a familiar skyline. You’re about to learn exactly what’s in the drop, how much it costs, and the one trick that can net you Blade without spending extra on the skin itself.
I follow collabs for a living, and I’ll tell you plainly: some crossovers are noise, this one matters. You’ll find crisp images, straight prices, and one reliable route to claim Blade as a bonus if you already play Honkai: Star Rail. Read the short parts you need and skip the fluff—this is the practical guide.
I noticed players wearing new outfits mid-match before I checked the shop—Honkai Star Rail skins in Fortnite
You’ve got two playable character skins from Honkai: Star Rail arriving in Fortnite’s item shop: Kafka and Blade. Both come with optional Back Blings and Pickaxes. All of these items are sold through the item shop for V‑Bucks; if you want them, you’ll be buying in-game currency.
| Skin | Image | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Kafka |  |
1,500 V-Bucks for her and her Back Bling1,500 V-Bucks for her, her Back Bling, and her Pickaxe |
| Blade |  |
1,500 V-Bucks for him and his Back Bling1,500 V-Bucks for him, his Back Bling, and his Pickaxe |
Which Honkai: Star Rail skins are in Fortnite?
Short answer: Kafka and Blade. Each skin’s base bundle is listed at 1,500 V‑Bucks. For a practical sense of cost, 1,500 V‑Bucks works out to about $11.99 (≈ €11). I prefer to think in euros sometimes—so expect roughly €11 for a single skin bundle.

|---|---|---|---|
| Red Spider Lily | Back Bling |  |
300 V-Bucks |
| Shard Sword | Pickaxe |  |

| Twilight Trill | Back Bling |  |
300 V-Bucks |
| Kafka’s Sword | Pickaxe |  |

How much do these items cost in real money?
Back Blings sit at 300 V‑Bucks (~$2.40 / ≈ €2). Pickaxes are 800 V‑Bucks (~$6.39 / ≈ €6). If you pick a character bundle at 1,500 V‑Bucks, that’s roughly $11.99 (≈ €11). Prices will vary slightly by region and current V‑Buck pack offers on Epic’s store.
Right now the collaboration offers only Back Blings and Pickaxes as extra assets, though Epic sometimes adds more items later. You can buy each accessory alone or grab the discounted bundles that pair skin + Back Bling (and sometimes the pickaxe).
I checked my Epic Games purchases and then my locker—How to get Blade for free in Fortnite
How do I get Blade for free in Fortnite?
If you already play Honkai: Star Rail, you can claim Blade as a bonus by making one of the qualifying in-game purchases for Honkai through the Epic Games Store. That means Blade comes as a gift with purchase—no separate V‑Buck spend required to add him to your Fortnite locker.
Qualifying purchases include the following items (as listed on the Epic Games Store gift-with-purchase page):
- The Nameless Glory
- Honor Badge
- Special Pass Exclusive Giftbox
- Oneiric Shard ×980
- The Nameless Medal
- Oneiric Shard ×1980
- Oneiric Shard ×3280
- Oneiric Shard ×6480
The promotion began on Feb. 26 and runs while Honkai: Star Rail is sold through the Epic Games Store using Epic’s payments, according to Epic’s store listing. If you already bought one of those packages in the past, you should be eligible—Epic’s page confirms previous qualifying purchases count.
Claiming Blade as a purchase bonus felt like finding a spare ticket in a sold‑out show, a little lucky and immediately satisfying.
If you want things to do while wearing the skins, try firing Treasure Cannons to collect base items, touching a Zero Point Shard to see its effect, hunting for Human Bill, or finishing Job Boards around the island—small activities that make the new outfits feel earned rather than just cosmetic.
Are you picking Kafka for the aesthetic or Blade because you can get him with an Epic Store purchase—and does gating characters behind other games feel fair to you?
