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 players a choice of four units.
• Players can reportedly choose from Qingque, Pela, Serval, or Asta during a limited-time event.
• This leak follows a trend of more 5-star character releases in Honkai: Star Rail, resulting in fewer new 4-star additions.

A new leak reveals exciting news for Honkai: Star Rail players: Version 3.1 will feature a free 4-star character selector, likely tied to a limited-time event. With Version 3.0 on the horizon, bringing new gameplay features and characters, this selector adds an extra layer of anticipation.

Currently, Honkai: Star Rail boasts 23 4-star characters. While not all are meta-defining, several prove valuable in diverse team compositions. Recent additions like Moze and Gallagher have quickly gained popularity for their versatility, though 4-stars often require significant Eidolon level investment to reach their full potential. Previous updates, such as Versions 2.1 and 2.7, offered similar free character selectors, easing Eidolon acquisition. This Version 3.1 leak suggests a return of this popular event, providing a choice of four units.

Prominent leaker HomDGCat reports that Version 3.1 will offer a free selector featuring Qingque, Pela, Serval, and Asta. The leak indicates a time-limited event, mirroring previous updates. Interestingly, all four characters debuted in Version 1.0, with Asta even given to players early in the game. Previous rumors suggested all upcoming characters would be 5-star, so this leak might support the idea that Amphoreus isn't releasing any 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 reliable support units, Qingque and Serval have been somewhat overshadowed by newer DPS characters. Furthermore, all four are available via the in-game store. Since Penacony, Honkai: Star Rail has leaned towards releasing more 5-star characters, with nearly 40 currently available, significantly outnumbering the 4-star roster. Eight more 5-star characters are expected with Amphoreus, with the Honkai: Star Rail x Fate/Stay Night crossover rumored to add two more.

During Version 2.0, only four new 4-star characters were released (including March 7th's alternate form). Whether Amphoreus will continue this trend remains uncertain. If the leak proves accurate, future 4-star character selectors might lack sufficient new unit options. Despite this, players eagerly await Version 3.0 and the arrival of The Herta and Aglaea. To prepare players for upcoming pulls, Honkai: Star Rail recently released new redeem codes for Stellar Jades and materials.
