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

Summary

• A leak suggests that Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.1 will include a free 4-star character selector featuring four units: Qingque, Pela, Serval, or Asta.
• This selector is expected to be part of a limited-time event.
• The game has been focusing more on releasing 5-star characters, resulting in fewer new 4-star units.

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

Currently, Honkai: Star Rail boasts 23 4-star characters. While not all are top-tier in the meta, some like the recently released Moze and Gallagher have gained popularity for their versatility. To maximize their potential, these 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. 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 option to select from Qingque, Pela, Serval, and Asta. All these characters were introduced during the game's 1.0 cycle, with Asta being available for free early on. Given the rumors that all upcoming characters will be 5-stars, this leak supports the idea that Amphoreus may not introduce new 4-star units 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 outshined by newer DPS characters. These units are also available for purchase in the in-game store. Since the Penacony update, Honkai: Star Rail has leaned towards releasing more 5-star characters, with nearly 40 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.

In the 2.0 cycle, only four new 4-star characters were introduced, including an alternate form of March 7th. If the leaks hold true, 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, Honkai: Star Rail has recently released new redeem codes for free Stellar Jades and materials.
