Summary
- A new leak suggests that Version 3.1 of Honkai: Star Rail will include a free 4-star character selector, featuring four units: Qingque, Pela, Serval, or Asta.
- This selector is expected to be part of a limited-time event.
- The game has recently focused more on releasing 5-star characters, resulting in fewer new 4-star units.
A recent leak has emerged about Honkai: Star Rail's upcoming Version 3.1, revealing an exciting addition for players: a free 4-star character selector. This feature, tied to a limited-time event, will allow players to choose from four distinct units: Qingque, Pela, Serval, or Asta. As Honkai: Star Rail gears up for its 3.0 cycle, introducing new gameplay features and characters, this leak adds another layer of anticipation for the community.
Currently, Honkai: Star Rail boasts 23 4-star characters, each with unique abilities that can enhance various team compositions. While some of these characters may not be at the top of the meta, units like the recently introduced Moze and Gallagher have gained popularity due to their versatility. However, to maximize the potential of 4-star characters, achieving higher Eidolon levels is often necessary. Previous updates, such as Versions 2.1 and 2.7, provided players with opportunities to easily obtain these Eidolons through similar character selectors. The new leak hints at the return of this popular event in Version 3.1.
The leak, shared by the well-known community leaker HomDGCat, specifies that players will have the option to select from Qingque, Pela, Serval, or Asta. This selector will be part of a time-limited event, echoing the structure of past patches. Notably, all the characters in the selector were introduced during the game's 1.0 cycle, and Asta is typically given to players early on in their journey. Amidst rumors that future updates will focus exclusively on 5-star characters, this leak supports the idea that developer Amphoreus may not be planning to release new 4-star units in the near future.
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 have maintained their utility as reliable supports, Qingque and Serval have been outshined by newer DPS options. All these characters are available for purchase in the in-game store. The trend of releasing more 5-star than 4-star characters has been evident since the Penacony update, with nearly 40 five-star characters currently in the game. Eight more 5-star characters are expected to be introduced with Amphoreus, and there are whispers of a crossover event with Fate/Stay Night that could bring two additional 5-star units.
During the 2.0 cycle, Honkai: Star Rail only introduced four new 4-star characters, including an alternate form of March 7th. If the leaks are accurate, future 4-star character selectors might struggle to offer fresh options. Nonetheless, players have much to look forward to with the upcoming Version 3.0, which will introduce the highly anticipated The Herta and Aglaea. To prepare for these new additions, Honkai: Star Rail has recently released new redeem codes for free Stellar Jades and materials, helping players to stock up on pulls.
