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 (Versions 2.1 and 2.7) offered free character selectors, facilitating Eidolon acquisition. This Version 3.1 leak indicates a similar event's return.

The leak, originating from prominent leaker HomDGCat, specifies the four selectable characters: Qingque (Quantum, Erudition), Pela (Ice, Nihility), Serval (Lightning, Erudition), and Asta (Fire, Harmony). Interestingly, all are from the 1.0 cycle, with Asta even being an early-game acquisition. This fuels speculation about the future scarcity of new 4-star units, especially considering rumors that all upcoming characters are 5-star. The significant disparity between the number of 5-star (nearly 40) and 4-star characters further supports this concern. Eight more 5-star characters are anticipated with the Amphoreus update, with a potential addition of two more from the Honkai: Star Rail and Fate/Stay Night crossover.

The 2.0 cycle only introduced four new 4-star characters (including March 7th's alternate form). If the leak proves accurate, future 4-star selectors might lack sufficient new unit options. However, Version 3.0's highly anticipated additions of The Herta and Aglaea offer much to look forward to. Honkai: Star Rail recently provided redeem codes for Stellar Jades and materials, aiding players in preparing for upcoming pulls.
