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

Summary

• A leak suggests that Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.1 will introduce a free 4-star character selector with four units available for selection.
• Players can reportedly choose from Qingque, Pela, Serval, or Asta during a limited-time event.
• The game has seen a trend of releasing more 5-star characters, potentially reducing the number of new 4-star additions.

A recent leak has surfaced about Honkai: Star Rail's upcoming Version 3.1, revealing a free 4-star character selector event. This exciting news comes as the game prepares to launch its 3.0 cycle, which will bring new gameplay features and characters to the table.

Currently, Honkai: Star Rail boasts 23 4-star characters. While not all are top-tier in the meta, some have proven invaluable in various team compositions. Recent additions like Moze and Gallagher have garnered a strong following 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, provided players with opportunities to obtain these Eidolons through free character selectors. The new leak indicates that Version 3.1 will continue this tradition, offering players a choice between four units.

According to the leak shared by prominent community leaker HomDGCat, players will be able to select from Qingque, Pela, Serval, and Asta in the upcoming event. This selector will be part of a timed event, akin to those in past patches. Notably, all these characters were introduced during the 1.0 cycle, with Asta being available for free early in the game. Rumors have suggested that future character releases might focus exclusively on 5-stars, aligning with the leak's indication that no new 4-star units may be introduced 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 support options, Qingque and Serval have been outshined by newer DPS characters. Additionally, all these units are available for purchase in the in-game store. Since the introduction of Penacony, the game has leaned towards releasing more 5-star characters, resulting in a significant gap between the two tiers. With nearly 40 five-star characters currently in the game and eight more expected with the Amphoreus update, plus a rumored crossover with Fate/Stay Night adding two more, the trend seems set to continue.

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 whether Amphoreus will maintain this trend. If the leaks prove accurate, future 4-star selectors might struggle to offer fresh options. Nevertheless, players should be excited about the upcoming Version 3.0, which will introduce the highly 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 save up on pulls.
