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 makes this 4-star selector a welcome addition.

A recent leak hints at an exciting addition to Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.1: a free 4-star character selector, possibly tied to a limited-time event. With Version 3.0 on the horizon, bringing new gameplay features and characters, this leak adds to the anticipation.

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. Previous updates, such as Versions 2.1 and 2.7, offered free character selectors to facilitate this, and this leak suggests a similar event is planned for Version 3.1.

Reliable leaker HomDGCat reports this free 4-star character selector will allow players to choose between Qingque, Pela, Serval, and Asta. The leak indicates a time-limited event, mirroring previous updates. Notably, all featured characters debuted in Version 1.0, with Asta even gifted early in the game. This leak lends credence to earlier rumors suggesting all upcoming characters will be 5-star, potentially indicating Amphoreus’s focus on higher-rarity units.

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 solid support options, Qingque and Serval have been somewhat overshadowed by newer DPS characters. Furthermore, all these characters are available for purchase in the in-game store. Since the release of Penacony, a noticeable trend in Honkai: Star Rail has been the release of significantly more 5-star characters than 4-star characters—nearly 40 five-star characters compared to a smaller pool of 4-stars. With eight more 5-star characters anticipated alongside Amphoreus, and a rumored two more from the Honkai: Star Rail and Fate/Stay Night crossover, the disparity is substantial.

Version 2.0 introduced only four new 4-star characters (including March 7th's alternate form). Whether Amphoreus will continue this trend remains uncertain. However, if the leak proves accurate, future 4-star character selectors may face a shortage of newer units to offer. Despite this, players can look forward to Version 3.0's highly anticipated additions: The Herta and Aglaea. To prepare players for upcoming pulls, Honkai: Star Rail recently released new redeem codes for Stellar Jades and materials.
