"Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.1 Offers Free 4-Star Character Choice"

Summary

• A leak suggests that Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.1 will feature a free 4-star character selector with four units to choose from.
• The leaked event will allow players to select from Qingque, Pela, Serval, or Asta during a limited-time event.
• The game has been focusing more on releasing 5-star characters, which has led to fewer new 4-star units being added.

A recent leak about Honkai: Star Rail has revealed exciting news for players: Version 3.1 will include a free 4-star character selector tied to a limited-time event. As Honkai: Star Rail gears up for its 3.0 cycle, fans can look forward to new gameplay features and characters.

Currently, there are 23 4-star characters available in Honkai: Star Rail. While many of these characters may not rank at the top of the meta, some are highly valued for their utility in various team compositions. Recent additions like Moze and Gallagher have gained popularity due to their versatility. However, to truly shine, these 4-star characters often require higher Eidolon levels. In previous updates such as Versions 2.1 and 2.7, Honkai: Star Rail provided opportunities for players to easily obtain these Eidolons through free character selectors. Now, a leak from the well-known community leaker HomDGCat indicates that this event will make a return in Version 3.1, offering a choice between Qingque, Pela, Serval, and Asta.

According to the leak, the free 4-star character selector in Version 3.1 will be part of a time-limited event, similar to past patches. The characters available in the selector—Qingque, Pela, Serval, and Asta—all debuted during the game's 1.0 cycle. Notably, Asta is already given to players early in the game. Recent rumors suggest that all new characters coming to Honkai: Star Rail will be 5-stars, which could mean that Amphoreus, the game's developer, may not be planning to release new 4-star units anytime soon.

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 support options since their introduction, Qingque and Serval have been outshined by newer DPS characters. All these characters are also available for purchase in the in-game store. Since the Penacony update, players have noticed a trend of Honkai: Star Rail releasing more 5-star characters than 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 be introduced with Amphoreus, and a rumored crossover with Fate/Stay Night may add two more.

During the 2.0 cycle, Honkai: Star Rail introduced only four new 4-star characters, including an alternate form of March 7th. It remains to be seen whether 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 much-anticipated The Herta and Aglaea. To prepare for these new additions, Honkai: Star Rail has recently released new redeem codes for free Stellar Jades and materials.
