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 Qingque, Pela, Serval, or Asta.
• This selector is reportedly part of a limited-time event.
• The recent focus on 5-star character releases has led to speculation about future 4-star additions.

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 Version 3.0 on the horizon, bringing numerous gameplay updates and new characters, this selector offers a welcome opportunity.

Honkai: Star Rail currently boasts 23 4-star characters; while not all are meta-defining, many prove valuable in specific team compositions. Recent additions like Moze and Gallagher have quickly gained popularity due to their versatility. However, maximizing their potential often requires significant investment in Eidolon levels. Past updates, such as Versions 2.1 and 2.7, successfully utilized free character selectors to help players obtain these Eidolons. This new leak suggests a similar event is returning in Version 3.1, providing a choice between four specific units.

Prominent leaker HomDGCat reports that Version 3.1 will offer a free selector featuring Qingque, Pela, Serval, and Asta. The leak indicates this will be a limited-time event, mirroring previous updates. Interestingly, all four characters debuted in Version 1.0, with Asta even being gifted early in the game. Previous rumors suggested all upcoming characters would be 5-star, lending credence to 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 remain viable support units, Qingque and Serval have been somewhat overshadowed by newer DPS characters. Furthermore, all four are available for purchase in the in-game store. Since Penacony, Honkai: Star Rail has noticeably favored 5-star releases, with almost 40 currently available compared to the 23 4-star options. Eight more 5-star characters are anticipated with Amphoreus, with the potential addition of two more from the Honkai: Star Rail and Fate/Stay Night crossover.

The 2.0 cycle only introduced four new 4-star characters (including March 7th's alternate form). Whether Amphoreus will continue this trend remains uncertain. If the leak proves accurate, future 4-star selectors may lack sufficient new unit options. Despite this, Version 3.0's arrival of The Herta and Aglaea offers much to anticipate. To aid players in preparing for these additions, Honkai: Star Rail recently released new redeem codes for Stellar Jades and materials.
