A recent leak has sparked excitement among Honkai: Star Rail fans, revealing that Version 3.1 will feature a free 4-star character selector. This event, expected to be tied to a limited-time event, offers players a chance to bolster their roster without spending any in-game currency. As Honkai: Star Rail gears up for its 3.0 cycle, introducing new gameplay features and characters, this leak adds another layer of anticipation.
Currently, there are 23 4-star characters in Honkai: Star Rail. While many of these characters may not dominate the meta, they remain valuable for various team compositions. Recent additions like Moze and Gallagher have quickly become popular for their versatility. However, to reach their full potential, 4-star characters often require higher Eidolon levels. Previous updates, such as Versions 2.1 and 2.7, have included free character selectors, making it easier for players to obtain these crucial Eidolons. The latest leak, shared by the prominent community leaker HomDGCat, suggests that this event will return in Version 3.1, allowing players to choose from Qingque, Pela, Serval, or Asta.
Here's a quick rundown of the characters available in the selector:
- Qingque: Quantum, Erudition
- Pela: Ice, Nihility
- Serval: Lightning, Erudition
- Asta: Fire, Harmony
While Pela and Asta continue to be reliable support options, Qingque and Serval have been outclassed by newer DPS characters. Notably, all these units can be purchased through the in-game store. Since the Penacony update, the game has leaned more towards releasing 5-star characters, with nearly 40 5-star units currently available. Eight more 5-star characters are expected in the upcoming Amphoreus update, and rumors of a crossover with Fate/Stay Night suggest two more will be added.
During the 2.0 cycle, only four new 4-star characters were introduced, including an alternate form of March 7th. If the leaks are accurate, future 4-star character selectors might struggle to offer fresh options. Nonetheless, players have much to look forward to in the next patch, with Version 3.0 bringing the highly anticipated The Herta and Aglaea. To prepare for these updates, Honkai: Star Rail has recently released new redeem codes for free Stellar Jades and materials, helping players stock up on pulls.
