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

Summary

• A leak suggests Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.1 will include a free 4-star character selector, offering players a choice of four units: Qingque, Pela, Serval, or Asta.
• This selector is reportedly part of a limited-time event.
• The recent focus on 5-star character releases in Honkai: Star Rail has led to speculation about the future availability of 4-star units.

A new leak reveals exciting news for Honkai: Star Rail players: Version 3.1 may feature a free 4-star character selector, likely tied to a limited-time event. With Honkai: Star Rail's Version 3.0 cycle on the horizon, bringing new characters and gameplay features, this selector offers a welcome addition.

Currently, Honkai: Star Rail boasts 23 4-star characters. While not all are meta-defining, several prove valuable in diverse team compositions. Newer additions like Moze and Gallagher have quickly gained popularity for their versatility. However, maximizing their potential often requires significant investment in Eidolon levels. Past updates, such as Versions 2.1 and 2.7, successfully offered free character selectors to ease this process. This new leak suggests a similar event will return in Version 3.1, providing a choice of four characters.

According to prominent leaker HomDGCat, the Version 3.1 selector will allow players to choose between Qingque, Pela, Serval, and Asta. This leak further suggests a limited-time event structure, mirroring previous patches. Notably, all featured characters debuted during the game's 1.0 cycle, with Asta even being gifted early in the game. Previous rumors indicated an upcoming focus on 5-star characters, potentially supporting the idea that Amphoreus may not release 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 maintain their utility as supports, Qingque and Serval have been somewhat overshadowed by newer DPS characters. It's also worth noting that all these characters are available for purchase in the in-game store. Since the release of Penacony, a noticeable trend has emerged: Honkai: Star Rail has prioritized 5-star character releases, resulting in a significant disparity between the number of 5-star (nearly 40) and 4-star characters. With eight more 5-star characters anticipated from Amphoreus, and the potential addition of two more from the Honkai: Star Rail x Fate/Stay Night crossover, this imbalance is likely to persist.

During the 2.0 cycle, only four new 4-star characters were introduced (including March 7th's alternate form). Whether Amphoreus will continue this trend remains unclear. However, if the leak proves accurate, future 4-star character selectors might lack sufficient new units to offer. Despite this, players have much to look forward to in the upcoming patch, with Version 3.0 introducing the highly anticipated characters The Herta and Aglaea. To aid players in preparing for these additions, Honkai: Star Rail recently released new redeem codes for Stellar Jades and materials.
