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.
• The leaked options are Qingque, Pela, Serval, or Asta, likely as part of a limited-time event.
• This selector is noteworthy given Honkai: Star Rail's recent focus on releasing more 5-star characters, resulting in fewer new 4-star additions.

A recent leak reveals exciting news for Honkai: Star Rail players: Version 3.1 will apparently feature a free 4-star character selector, possibly tied to a limited-time event. This arrives as Version 3.0 approaches, bringing with it a wave of new content and characters.

Honkai: Star Rail currently boasts 23 4-star characters. While many aren't meta-defining, several prove valuable in specific team compositions. Newer additions like Moze and Gallagher have quickly gained popularity due to their versatility. However, maximizing their potential often requires significant investment in Eidolon levels. Previous updates, such as Versions 2.1 and 2.7, offered free character selectors to aid in this process. This new leak suggests a similar event is returning in Version 3.1, providing a choice of four characters.

Reliable leaker HomDGCat reports that Version 3.1 will offer a free 4-star character selector featuring Qingque, Pela, Serval, and Asta. The leak indicates this will be a limited-time event, mirroring past updates. Interestingly, all four characters debuted in Version 1.0, with Asta even being gifted early in the game. Prior rumors suggested all upcoming characters would be 5-star, lending credence to the idea that Amphoreus may not be releasing 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 remain viable support characters, Qingque and Serval have been somewhat eclipsed by newer DPS units. Furthermore, all four are available for purchase in the in-game store. Since the release of Penacony, Honkai: Star Rail has shown a clear trend towards releasing more 5-star characters than 4-star. With nearly 40 five-star characters and an anticipated eight more (plus two from the rumored Fate/Stay Night crossover) arriving with Amphoreus, the disparity between the two rarities is significant.

During Version 2.0, only four new 4-star characters were introduced (including March 7th's alternate form). Whether Amphoreus will continue this trend remains uncertain, but if the leak proves accurate, future 4-star character selectors might lack sufficient new options. Despite this, players have much to anticipate with Version 3.0's arrival of The Herta and Aglaea. To help players prepare for the new characters, Honkai: Star Rail recently released new redeem codes for Stellar Jades and materials.
