Summary
- A leak suggests that Version 3.1 of Honkai: Star Rail will include a free 4-star character selector event, featuring four units to choose from.
- The leaked characters for selection are Qingque, Pela, Serval, and Asta, available during a limited-time event.
- Honkai: Star Rail has been focusing more on releasing 5-star characters, resulting in fewer new 4-star additions.
A recent leak has surfaced about Honkai: Star Rail's upcoming Version 3.1, revealing that it will feature a free 4-star character selector as part of a limited-time event. This news comes as the game is set to roll out its 3.0 cycle, which promises new gameplay features and characters.
Currently, there are 23 4-star characters in Honkai: Star Rail, each offering unique abilities that can be valuable in various team compositions. Characters like Moze and Gallagher have gained popularity for their versatility, though many 4-stars require higher Eidolon levels to reach their full potential. In previous updates such as Versions 2.1 and 2.7, Honkai: Star Rail provided players with opportunities to obtain these Eidolons through free character selectors. The new leak hints at the return of this event in Version 3.1, allowing players to choose from Qingque, Pela, Serval, or Asta.
The leak, shared by the well-known community leaker HomDGCat, indicates that the 4-star character selector will be tied to a time-limited event, much like in past updates. All characters in the selector were introduced during the 1.0 cycle, with Asta being a character players receive early in the game. Recent rumors suggest that all future characters might be 5-stars, which aligns with the leak's implication that Amphoreus might not release new 4-star units soon.
Honkai: Star Rail Leak Teases New 4-Star Character Selector in Version 3.1
- Qingque: Quantum, Erudition
- Pela: Ice, Nihility
- Serval: Lightning, Erudition
- Asta: Fire, Harmony
While Pela and Asta continue to serve as reliable supports, Qingque and Serval have been outshined by newer DPS characters. All these characters are available for purchase in the in-game store. Since the introduction of Penacony, there has been a noticeable trend of more 5-star characters being released, with nearly 40 in the game currently. Amphoreus is expected to introduce eight more 5-star characters, and there are rumors of a crossover with Fate/Stay Night adding two more.
During the 2.0 cycle, only four new 4-star characters were released, including an alternate form of March 7th. If the leaks hold true, future 4-star character selectors might struggle to offer a diverse range of new units. However, players should stay excited for Version 3.0, which will introduce The Herta and Aglaea. To prepare for upcoming pulls, Honkai: Star Rail has recently released new redeem codes for free Stellar Jades and materials.
