Summary

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

A new leak about Honkai: Star Rail indicates that Version 3.1 will introduce a free 4-star character selector, tied to a limited-time event. As Honkai: Star Rail approaches its 3.0 cycle, players can look forward to new gameplay features and characters.

Currently, there are 23 4-star characters available in Honkai: Star Rail. While most of these characters may not be at the top of the meta, some are valuable in various team compositions. Recent additions like Moze and Gallagher have 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, provided opportunities for players to easily obtain these Eidolons through free character selectors. Now, a leak about Version 3.1 suggests that this event will return, allowing players to choose from four characters.

Community leaker HomDGCat has revealed that Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.1 will feature a free 4-star character selector, where players can pick from Qingque, Pela, Serval, or Asta. This selector will be part of a timed event, similar to previous patches. All these characters were introduced during the 1.0 cycle, and Asta is even available for free early in the game. Recent rumors suggest that all upcoming characters might be 5-stars, indicating that Amphoreus may not release new 4-star units in the near future.

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 been solid support options since their debut, 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 more towards releasing 5-star characters, with nearly 40 in total compared to the fewer 4-star units. Eight more 5-star characters are expected to be introduced with Amphoreus, and a crossover with Fate/Stay Night is rumored to add two additional 5-stars.

In the 2.0 cycle, only four new 4-star characters were released, including March 7th's alternate form. If the leaks are accurate, future 4-star character selectors may face a shortage of new units. Nevertheless, players should be excited for the upcoming Version 3.0, which will introduce The Herta and Aglaea. To prepare for these new additions, Honkai: Star Rail has recently released new redeem codes for free Stellar Jades and materials.
