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 features and characters. While the game boasts a roster of 23 4-star characters, many are outclassed by newer units in the meta. However, some remain valuable, especially with higher Eidolon levels. Previous updates (Versions 2.1 and 2.7) offered similar free selectors, aiding players in boosting their 4-star units.
The leak, originating from the reputable leaker HomDGCat, specifies the four selectable characters:
- Qingque: Quantum, Erudition
- Pela: Ice, Nihility
- Serval: Lightning, Erudition
- Asta: Fire, Harmony
While Pela and Asta maintain their utility as supports, Qingque and Serval have been overshadowed by newer DPS characters. Furthermore, all four are available for purchase in the in-game store.
This leak aligns with player observations that Honkai: Star Rail has favored 5-star character releases (nearly 40 currently, with eight more expected in Amphoreus and potentially two more from the upcoming Fate/Stay Night crossover). The 2.0 cycle only introduced four new 4-star characters (including March 7th's alternate form). If the trend continues, future 4-star selectors might lack sufficient new unit options.
Despite this, Version 3.0 promises exciting additions with the arrival of The Herta and Aglaea. Honkai: Star Rail recently released redeem codes for Stellar Jades and materials, encouraging players to prepare for the upcoming updates. The Version 3.1 free selector, if confirmed, will undoubtedly be a welcome addition for many players.
