Honkai: Star Rail Leak Reveals Free 4-Star Character Selector for Version 3.1

Summary

• A leak suggests that Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.1 will include a free 4-star character selector event, offering players a choice between four units.
• The event will feature Qingque, Pela, Serval, or Asta, and is expected to be part of a limited-time event.
• The game has been focusing more on releasing 5-star characters, which may lead to fewer new 4-star units in future updates.

A recent leak has surfaced about Honkai: Star Rail's upcoming Version 3.1, revealing an exciting addition: a free 4-star character selector. This feature is anticipated to be part of a limited-time event, allowing players to choose from four distinct characters: Qingque, Pela, Serval, or Asta. As Honkai: Star Rail gears up for its 3.0 cycle, fans can look forward to new gameplay features and characters.

Currently, Honkai: Star Rail boasts 23 4-star characters. While not all of them rank highly in the meta, certain units like the recently released Moze and Gallagher have gained popularity due to their versatility. To maximize the potential of these 4-star characters, players often need to achieve higher Eidolon levels. Previous updates, such as Versions 2.1 and 2.7, have included similar character selectors, making it easier for players to enhance their 4-star units. The new leak suggests that this popular event will return in Version 3.1.

The leak, shared by the well-known community leaker HomDGCat, indicates that players will have the opportunity to select from Qingque, Pela, Serval, and Asta. This selector is expected to be part of a time-limited event, akin to those seen in past patches. Notably, all these characters were introduced during the game's 1.0 cycle, with Asta being available for free early on. Recent rumors have hinted 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 continue to serve as reliable support characters, Qingque and Serval have been outshined by newer DPS options. All these characters are also 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 5-star units currently in the game. Eight more 5-star characters are expected to debut with Amphoreus, 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 about the upcoming Version 3.0, which will introduce the much-anticipated The Herta and Aglaea. To prepare for these updates, Honkai: Star Rail has recently released new redeem codes for free Stellar Jades and materials, helping players to stock up on pulls.
