Summary
- A leak suggests that Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.1 will include a free 4-star character selector with four options: Qingque, Pela, Serval, or Asta, as part of a limited-time event.
- The game is set to start its 3.0 cycle, introducing new gameplay features and characters.
- There are currently 23 4-star characters available, with some being highly useful despite not being top-tier in the meta. Newer characters like Moze and Gallagher have gained popularity for their versatility.
- 4-star characters often require higher Eidolon levels to maximize their potential. Previous updates like Versions 2.1 and 2.7 offered free character selectors that helped players obtain these Eidolons.
- The leak was shared by the community leaker HomDGCat, indicating that the selector will be part of a time-limited event, similar to past updates.
- The characters available in the selector debuted in the 1.0 cycle, with Asta being available for free early in the game.
- Recent rumors suggest that upcoming characters will be 5-stars, hinting at a potential pause in 4-star releases by Amphoreus.
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 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 Penacony update, the game has leaned towards releasing more 5-star characters, with nearly 40 available, compared to the 23 4-stars. Eight more 5-star characters are expected with the Amphoreus update, and a 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's uncertain if Amphoreus will continue this trend, but if the leaks are accurate, future 4-star selectors might struggle to offer new units. Players should anticipate the upcoming Version 3.0, which will introduce The Herta and Aglaea. To prepare, Honkai: Star Rail has released new redeem codes for free Stellar Jades and materials.
