Summary
A newHonkai: Star Railleak has revealed that Version 3.1 will feature a free 4-star character selector, potentially linked to a limited-time event.Honkai: Star Railwill soon begin its 3.0 cycle, with several gameplay features and new characters coming to the game.
There are currently 234-star characters inHonkai: Star Rail, and while very few of them have a high place in the meta, some units can be quite useful in various teams. More recently released characters like Moze and Gallagher have quickly become fan favorites for their versatility. However, to become powerful units, 4-stars often need higher Eidolons levels. In past updates, like Version 2.1 and 2.7,Honkai: Star Railgave players a chance to collect these Eidolons easily through free character selectors. Now, a new leak regarding Version 3.1 suggests that the event will return with four units to choose from.
Prominent community leakerHomDGCat has reportedthat a new free 4-star character selector is coming toHonkai: Star RailVersion 3.1. Per the leak, players would be able to choose between Qingque, Pela, Serval, and Asta to add to their roster. The leak also suggests that the selector would be part of a timed-time event, similar to previous patches. All the characters listed in the selector debuted during the 1.0 cycle, and Asta is even given for free to players very early in the game. Earlier rumors hinted thatall upcomingHonkai: Star Railcharacters are 5-stars, so the new leak could support the notion that Amphoreus is not releasing any 4-star units anytime soon.
Honkai: Star Rail Leak Teases New 4-Star Character Selector in Version 3.1
While Pela and Asta have remained decent supports since their debut, Qingque and Serval have long been surpassed by newer DPS characters. Moreover, all of these units can be bought through the in-game store. Since Penacony, players have pointed out thatHonkai: Star Railhas followed a trend of releasing more 5-star units than 4-stars. There are almost 40 five-star characters in the game, so the difference between both tiers is substantial. Eight more 5-star characters are expected to debut with Amphoreus, and thecrossover betweenHonkai: Star RailandFate/Stay Nightis rumored to add two more.
During the 2.0 cycle,Honkai: Star Railreleased only four new 4-star characters, which is including March 7th’s alternate form. It’s unclear whether Amphoreus will follow the same trend, but if the leaks turn out to be true, future 4-star character selectors may not have enough new units to offer. Regardless, players should look forward to the next patch, as Version 3.0 is adding the long-awaited The Herta and Aglaea.
