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

Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.1 Leak Hints at Free 4-Star Character Selector

A recent leak suggests Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.1 will include a free 4-star character selector, potentially as part of a limited-time event. This selector would allow players to choose one of four characters: Qingque, Pela, Serval, or Asta.

This news comes as Honkai: Star Rail's 3.0 update approaches, introducing new gameplay features and characters. The game currently boasts 23 4-star characters, with varying degrees of meta relevance. While some, like Moze and Gallagher, have gained popularity, many 4-star units require significant Eidolon investment to reach their full potential. Past updates, such as Versions 2.1 and 2.7, offered free character selectors to facilitate Eidolon acquisition. The Version 3.1 leak indicates a similar event is planned.

According to leaker HomDGCat, the selector will feature Qingque (Quantum, Erudition), Pela (Ice, Nihility), Serval (Lightning, Erudition), and Asta (Fire, Harmony). Interestingly, all these characters debuted in Version 1.0, with Asta even being an early-game acquisition. This leak aligns with previous rumors suggesting a focus on 5-star character releases in upcoming updates, potentially indicating a slowdown in 4-star additions. The current disparity between 5-star (nearly 40) and 4-star characters is significant, and with eight more 5-star characters expected in the Amphoreus update (plus two potential additions from the Fate/Stay Night crossover), the pool of new 4-star units for future selectors might be limited.

The 2.0 cycle only introduced four new 4-star characters (including March 7th's alternate form). Whether this trend continues remains uncertain. However, even with this potential limitation, players anticipate Version 3.0's arrival, bringing the highly anticipated characters Herta and Aglaea. To aid players in preparing for these additions, Honkai: Star Rail recently released redeem codes for Stellar Jades and materials.
