Summary
- A leak suggests Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.1 will include a free 4-star character selector, offering Qingque, Pela, Serval, or Asta.
- This selector is likely part of a limited-time event.
- The recent focus on 5-star character releases has led to speculation about future 4-star additions.
A new leak hints at an exciting addition to Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.1: a free 4-star character selector. This coincides with the upcoming 3.0 cycle, bringing new characters and gameplay features.
Honkai: Star Rail currently boasts 23 4-star characters; while some are less meta-relevant, others prove valuable in specific team compositions. Recent additions like Moze and Gallagher have quickly gained popularity for their versatility, though maximizing their potential often requires significant Eidolon investment. Previous updates (Versions 2.1 and 2.7) offered free character selectors to facilitate this, and a similar event is now rumored for Version 3.1.
Leakers, including HomDGCat, point to a selector featuring Qingque, Pela, Serval, and Asta. This selector is expected to be a limited-time event, mirroring previous implementations. Interestingly, all four characters debuted in Version 1.0, with Asta even being gifted early in the game. This leak further supports earlier rumors suggesting a potential lack of new 4-star characters from Amphoreus, as all upcoming characters are speculated to be 5-star.
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 maintain their utility as supports, Qingque and Serval have been outpaced by newer DPS characters. Furthermore, all four are available through the in-game store. Since Penacony, a noticeable trend of releasing more 5-star than 4-star characters has emerged, with nearly 40 five-star characters currently available. Amphoreus is expected to introduce eight more 5-star characters, with an additional two potentially arriving through the Honkai: Star Rail and Fate/Stay Night crossover.
The 2.0 cycle only added four new 4-star characters (including March 7th's alternate form). The continuation of this trend remains uncertain, but if the leak proves accurate, future 4-star selectors might lack sufficient new unit options. Despite this, Version 3.0's anticipated additions of Herta and Aglaea provide much excitement. To aid players in preparing for these additions, Honkai: Star Rail recently released redeem codes for Stellar Jades and materials.
