A recent leak has unveiled exciting news for Honkai: Star Rail players: Version 3.1 will introduce a free 4-star character selector, likely tied to a limited-time event. As Honkai: Star Rail gears up for its 3.0 cycle, fans can anticipate a host of new gameplay features and characters.
Currently, the game boasts 23 4-star characters. While many of these don't rank high in the meta, some are incredibly useful in various team compositions. Recent additions like Moze and Gallagher have quickly gained popularity for their versatility. However, to maximize their potential, these 4-star units often require higher Eidolon levels. Previous updates, such as Versions 2.1 and 2.7, offered players opportunities to obtain these Eidolons through free character selectors. Now, a leak from prominent community leaker HomDGCat suggests that Version 3.1 will bring back this popular event, allowing players to choose from Qingque, Pela, Serval, and Asta.
The leaked information indicates that this 4-star character selector will be part of a time-limited event, similar to previous patches. All characters available in the selector were introduced during the 1.0 cycle, with Asta being a character that players receive early in the game for free. Earlier rumors hinted that all upcoming characters might be 5-stars, suggesting that developer Amphoreus may not plan 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 remained solid supports since their debut, Qingque and Serval have been outshined by newer DPS characters. All these units are available for purchase in the in-game store. Since the Penacony update, players have noticed a trend of more 5-star units being released compared to 4-stars. With nearly 40 five-star characters already in the game, the gap between the two tiers is significant. Eight more 5-star characters are expected to debut with Amphoreus, and a rumored crossover with Fate/Stay Night may add two more.
During the 2.0 cycle, only four new 4-star characters were introduced, 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. Nevertheless, players should be excited about the upcoming Version 3.0, which will introduce the long-awaited The Herta and Aglaea. To prepare for these updates, Honkai: Star Rail has recently released new redeem codes for free Stellar Jades and materials.
