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 from Qingque, Pela, Serval, or Asta.

This news comes as Honkai: Star Rail's 3.0 update approaches, introducing new gameplay features and characters. While the game boasts a roster of 23 4-star characters, many are outclassed in the current meta. Newer 4-stars like Moze and Gallagher have gained popularity, but often require significant Eidolon investment to reach their full potential. Past updates, such as Versions 2.1 and 2.7, offered free character selectors to help players acquire these Eidolons. The Version 3.1 leak indicates a similar event is planned.

Leakers, including HomDGCat, point to the inclusion of Qingque, Pela, Serval, and Asta in this selector. Interestingly, all these characters were released in Version 1.0, with Asta even being provided early in the game. This leak supports earlier speculation that Amphoreus may not be introducing any new 4-star characters soon, as rumors suggest all upcoming characters are 5-star.

Character Details:

• 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 outperformed by newer DPS units. All four are also available for purchase in the in-game store. The game's recent trend of releasing more 5-star characters (nearly 40, compared to 23 4-stars) further emphasizes this potential shift in focus. With eight more 5-star characters expected in Amphoreus, and a potential addition of two more from the Honkai: Star Rail and Fate/Stay Night crossover, the disparity between 4-star and 5-star character releases is significant.

The 2.0 cycle only introduced four new 4-star characters (including March 7th's alternate form). If the leak is accurate, future 4-star selectors may lack sufficient new units to offer. Despite this, players anticipate the upcoming Version 3.0 update, featuring The Herta and Aglaea. Honkai: Star Rail recently released redeem codes for Stellar Jades and materials to aid players in preparing for upcoming banners.
