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

Summary

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

A recent leak from Honkai: Star Rail hints that Version 3.1 will include a free 4-star character selector, likely tied to a limited-time event. As the game prepares to enter its 3.0 cycle, players can look forward to new gameplay features and characters.

Currently, Honkai: Star Rail boasts 23 4-star characters, many of which may not rank highly in the meta but still offer valuable team support. Recent additions like Moze and Gallagher have become popular for their versatility. However, to maximize their potential, these 4-star characters often require higher Eidolon levels. Previous updates, such as Versions 2.1 and 2.7, provided players with opportunities to obtain these Eidolons through free character selectors. Now, a leak from the well-known community leaker HomDGCat suggests that this feature will return in Version 3.1, offering a choice between Qingque, Pela, Serval, and Asta.

According to the leak, this character selector will be part of a time-limited event, similar to those seen in past updates. All the characters in the selector were introduced during the 1.0 cycle, with Asta being freely available to players early on. Recent rumors indicate that upcoming characters will be exclusively 5-stars, suggesting that Amphoreus may not introduce 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 continue to serve as reliable supports, Qingque and Serval have been overshadowed 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 shifted towards releasing more 5-star units, with nearly 40 currently in the game. Eight more 5-star characters are expected to be introduced with Amphoreus, and a rumored crossover with Fate/Stay Night might add two more.

During the 2.0 cycle, only four new 4-star characters were released, including an alternate form of March 7th. It remains to be seen if Amphoreus will continue this trend, but if the leaks are accurate, future 4-star character selectors might struggle to offer new options. Players should stay excited for the upcoming Version 3.0, which will introduce The Herta and Aglaea. To prepare, Honkai: Star Rail has recently released new redeem codes for free Stellar Jades and materials.
