As specified, Dr. Ratio is available as a trial character in Honkai Star Rail 1.6’s Mundane Troubles Trailblaze Continuance Mission. It is unlocked once you complete the “When the Stars of Ingenuity Shine” quest.

Mundane Troubles kicks off when an unknown perpetrator infiltrates the Space Station to attack Herta’s puppets. Throughout its runtime, you will be tasked with investigating the attacker while recollecting the lost memories of the Trailblazer.

However, Dr. Ratio will be suspicious of your whereabouts, so make sure to win against him in a debate to prove your innocence. As the story progressess, the investigating team will get closer to the culprit and come across a peculiar teleporter.

Enter the portal to have complete access to Dr. Ratio, and you should be able to use him in combat against all the enemies during the Exploratory Excursion.
