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 elements 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-stars require significant Eidolon investment to reach their full potential. Past updates, such as Versions 2.1 and 2.7, offered free character selectors to aid in Eidolon acquisition. This Version 3.1 leak indicates a similar event is planned.

The leaked selector features characters from the game's initial 1.0 cycle, including Asta, a character readily available early in the game. This aligns with earlier rumors suggesting an upcoming focus on 5-star character releases, potentially indicating a slowdown in new 4-star additions.

Character Details:

• Qingque: Quantum, Erudition
• Pela: Ice, Nihility
• Serval: Lightning, Erudition
• Asta: Fire, Harmony

While Pela and Asta remain viable support units, Qingque and Serval have been largely outpaced by newer DPS characters. Furthermore, all four are purchasable in the in-game store. The ongoing trend of releasing more 5-star characters (nearly 40 currently) compared to 4-star characters has been noted by players since the Penacony update. With eight more 5-star characters anticipated in the Amphoreus update, and a potential addition of two more from the Honkai: Star Rail and Fate/Stay Night crossover, the disparity is significant.

The 2.0 cycle only introduced four new 4-star characters (including March 7th's alternate form). The continuation of this trend, and its impact on future 4-star character selectors, remains uncertain. Despite this, players eagerly await Version 3.0, featuring the highly anticipated characters Herta and Aglaea. To prepare players for the upcoming updates, Honkai: Star Rail recently released new redeem codes for Stellar Jades and materials.
