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

Summary

• A new leak indicates that Honkai: Star Rail's Version 3.1 will include a free 4-star character selector, offering four units to choose from.
• Players can reportedly select from Qingque, Pela, Serval, or Asta during a limited-time event.
• The game has shifted focus to releasing more 5-star characters, resulting in fewer new 4-star additions.

A recent leak has surfaced about Honkai: Star Rail, revealing that Version 3.1 will feature a free 4-star character selector, possibly tied to a limited-time event. As Honkai: Star Rail gears up for its 3.0 cycle, players can expect a variety of new gameplay features and characters.

Currently, there are 23 4-star characters available in Honkai: Star Rail. Although many of these characters may not rank at the top of the meta, several are valuable in various team compositions. Newer additions like Moze and Gallagher have quickly gained popularity due to their versatility. However, to maximize their potential, 4-star characters often require higher Eidolon levels. Previous updates, such as Versions 2.1 and 2.7, included free character selectors that made it easier for players to obtain these Eidolons. Now, a leak from the well-known community leaker HomDGCat suggests that this event will return in Version 3.1, allowing players to choose from Qingque, Pela, Serval, and Asta.

According to the leak, the 4-star character selector in Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.1 will be part of a timed event, similar to previous updates. The characters available in the selector were introduced during the 1.0 cycle, with Asta being provided for free early in the game. Recent rumors have suggested that all upcoming characters will be 5-stars, which aligns with the leak's indication 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 have maintained their utility as support characters since their release, Qingque and Serval have been overshadowed by newer DPS options. All these characters are also available for purchase in the in-game store. Since the Penacony update, there has been a noticeable trend toward releasing more 5-star characters than 4-stars, with nearly 40 5-star characters currently in the game. Amphoreus is expected to introduce eight more 5-star characters, and a rumored crossover with Fate/Stay Night may add two more.

During the 2.0 cycle, Honkai: Star Rail introduced only four new 4-star characters, including March 7th's alternate form. If the leaks hold true, future 4-star character selectors may face a shortage of new units to offer. 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 to help players accumulate pulls.
