A new leak from Honkai: Star Rail has surfaced, revealing that Version 3.1 will feature an exciting free 4-star character selector. This event, likely tied to a limited-time promotion, allows players to choose one character from a selection of four: Qingque, Pela, Serval, or Asta. As Honkai: Star Rail gears up for its 3.0 cycle, players can look forward to new gameplay enhancements and additional characters joining the roster.
Currently, there are 23 4-star characters in Honkai: Star Rail, some of which, like the newer additions Moze and Gallagher, have become highly valued for their versatility. These characters often require higher Eidolon levels to reach their full potential, a process that past updates, such as Versions 2.1 and 2.7, have supported with free character selectors. The return of such an event in Version 3.1 is a welcome development for many players.
The leak, shared by the reputable leaker HomDGCat, indicates that the free 4-star character selector will be part of a time-limited event, echoing similar promotions from previous patches. The characters offered in the selector, Qingque, Pela, Serval, and Asta, were all introduced during the game's 1.0 cycle. Notably, Asta is provided for free early in the game, making her an accessible choice for many players. This leak aligns with earlier rumors suggesting that all upcoming characters might be 5-stars, hinting that Amphoreus may not introduce new 4-star units in the near future.
Here's a quick rundown of the characters available in the selector:
- Qingque: Quantum, Erudition
- Pela: Ice, Nihility
- Serval: Lightning, Erudition
- Asta: Fire, Harmony
While Pela and Asta have maintained their utility as decent supports, 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, Honkai: Star Rail has increasingly focused on releasing more 5-star characters, with nearly 40 now in the game. This trend is set to continue, with eight more 5-star characters expected to debut with Amphoreus and a rumored crossover with Fate/Stay Night adding two more.
During the 2.0 cycle, only four new 4-star characters were introduced, including an alternate form of March 7th. If this trend continues, future 4-star character selectors might struggle to offer fresh options. However, players have much to anticipate with Version 3.0, which will introduce 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, helping players build up their resources for upcoming pulls.
