A new leak has surfaced regarding Honkai: Star Rail, revealing that Version 3.1 will introduce a free 4-star character selector as part of a limited-time event. As the game progresses into its 3.0 cycle, players can expect a range of new gameplay features and characters.
Currently, Honkai: Star Rail boasts 23 4-star characters, many of which are not considered top-tier in the meta. However, certain units like Moze and Gallagher have gained popularity due to their versatility. To maximize the potential of 4-star characters, players often need to obtain higher Eidolon levels. Previous updates, such as Versions 2.1 and 2.7, provided opportunities for players to acquire these Eidolons through free character selectors. Now, according to the latest leak, Version 3.1 will continue this trend, allowing players to choose from Qingque, Pela, Serval, and Asta.
The leak, shared by the well-known community leaker HomDGCat, indicates that the character selector will be available during a time-limited event, similar to those in past patches. All the characters offered in this selector were introduced during the game's 1.0 cycle, with Asta being a character that players can obtain early in the game for free. Recent rumors suggest that all future characters might be 5-stars, which could explain the absence of new 4-star releases. This leak may support the idea that Amphoreus is focusing on 5-star characters 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 remain effective supports, Qingque and Serval have been outclassed by newer DPS characters. All these characters are available for purchase in the in-game store. Since the Penacony update, players have noticed a trend of more 5-star characters being released compared to 4-stars. With nearly 40 five-star characters in the game, the disparity between the two tiers is significant. Eight more 5-star characters are expected to be introduced with Amphoreus, and a rumored crossover with Fate/Stay Night might add two more.
During the 2.0 cycle, only four new 4-star characters were added, including an alternate form of March 7th. It remains to be seen if Amphoreus will continue this trend, but if the leaks are accurate, future 4-star character selectors might struggle to offer new units. Nonetheless, players should be excited for the upcoming Version 3.0, which will introduce The Herta and Aglaea. To prepare for these updates, Honkai: Star Rail has released new redeem codes for free Stellar Jades and materials, helping players to stock up on pulls.
