Reignite Hope in Honkai Star Rail Version 3.1 ‘Light Slips the Gate, Shadow Greets the Throne’

Honkai: Star Rail's Version 3.1, "Light Slips the Gate, Shadow Greets the Throne," launches February 26th, escalating the Flame-Chase Journey with new challenges and mysteries.

New Characters in Honkai Star Rail Version 3.1

Version 3.1 introduces two new 5-star characters: Tribbie and Mydei. Following the acquisition of Nikador's Coreflame, players explore the new Grove of Epiphany map. The main Trailblaze Mission focuses on rescuing survivors and uncovering the truth behind a catastrophic event, culminating in the retrieval of Cerces' Coreflame to restore hope to Okhema.

The update delves into the Abyss of Fate (formerly Janusopolis), now revealed in its Day State. This exploration unveils the long-lost history of the Era Chrysea and Tribbie's past. Tribbie (Tribios), the Holy Maiden of Janusopolis, is a 5-star Quantum character following the Path of Harmony, who received a prophecy from Kephale. Mydei, the crown prince of Castrum Kremnos, is a fierce 5-star Imaginary character following the Path of Destruction, utilizing his HP to power up and unleash devastating attacks.

Here's a preview of these characters:

Returning Characters and Events

Version 3.1 also features the return of limited 5-star characters Yunli (first half of the warp event) and Huohuo (second half).

The Divergent Universe event returns with a research focus on Amphoreus and a new Day/Night battle system impacting combat buffs and effects. The "Awooo Firm" event casts players as managers assisting a chimera squad in Okhema.
