Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.1 Offers Free 4-Star Character Selection

Summary

• A leak suggests that Version 3.1 of Honkai: Star Rail will include a free 4-star character selector featuring 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, resulting in fewer new 4-star additions.

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

Currently, Honkai: Star Rail boasts 23 4-star characters. While many of these characters may not rank highly in the meta, some are invaluable in various team compositions. Newer characters like Moze and Gallagher have quickly gained popularity for their versatility. However, to maximize their potential, 4-star characters often require higher Eidolon levels. Previous updates, such as Versions 2.1 and 2.7, provided opportunities for players to obtain these Eidolons through free character selectors. Now, a leak from prominent community leaker HomDGCat suggests that this event will return in Version 3.1, offering a choice between Qingque, Pela, Serval, and Asta.

According to the leak, this new 4-star character selector will be part of a time-limited event, similar to those in past patches. All four characters were introduced during the game's 1.0 cycle, with Asta being available for free early on. Recent rumors indicate that all upcoming characters might be 5-stars, suggesting that Amphoreus may not introduce 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 support options since their debut, 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, Honkai: Star Rail has shifted towards releasing more 5-star characters, with nearly 40 five-star units currently in the game. Eight more 5-star characters are expected with the Amphoreus update, 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. If the leaks are accurate, future 4-star character selectors might struggle to offer new units. Nevertheless, players should be excited for the upcoming Version 3.0, which will introduce The Herta and Aglaea. To prepare for these updates, Honkai: Star Rail has recently released new redeem codes for free Stellar Jades and materials.
