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

A recent leak hints at an exciting addition to Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.1: a free 4-star character selector. This coincides with the upcoming 3.0 cycle, bringing new gameplay and characters.

Currently, Honkai: Star Rail boasts 23 4-star characters. While many aren't meta-defining, several prove valuable in specific team compositions. Newer additions like Moze and Gallagher have quickly gained popularity for their versatility, though 4-stars often require significant Eidolon investment to reach their full potential. Past updates (Versions 2.1 and 2.7) offered free character selectors to ease Eidolon acquisition. This Version 3.1 leak suggests a similar event, offering a choice of four units.

Leakers, such as HomDGCat, report that Version 3.1 will offer a free selector featuring Qingque, Pela, Serval, and Asta. This selector is expected to be a limited-time event, mirroring previous updates. All four characters debuted in Version 1.0, with Asta even being gifted early in the game. Given earlier rumors suggesting all upcoming characters are 5-star, this leak supports the theory 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 characters, Qingque and Serval have been outclassed by newer DPS units. Furthermore, all four are available via the in-game store. Since Penacony, Honkai: Star Rail has favored 5-star releases, with nearly 40 5-star characters compared to the significantly fewer 4-star options. Eight more 5-star characters are anticipated with Amphoreus, and the Fate/Stay Night crossover may add two more.

During Version 2.0, only four new 4-star characters were released (including March 7th's alternate form). The pattern for Amphoreus remains unclear, but if the leak proves accurate, future 4-star selectors may lack sufficient new unit options. Despite this, players eagerly await Version 3.0, introducing the highly anticipated Herta and Aglaea. To bolster player resources for upcoming pulls, Honkai: Star Rail recently provided redeem codes for Stellar Jades and materials.
