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 units: Qingque, Pela, Serval, or Asta.

This news comes as Honkai: Star Rail's 3.0 update approaches, introducing new gameplay elements and characters. While the game boasts 23 4-star characters, many are outclassed by newer units. Previous updates (Versions 2.1 and 2.7) offered similar character selectors, proving popular with players seeking to strengthen their existing 4-star units through Eidolon upgrades.

The leak, originating from the reputable leaker HomDGCat, indicates the selector will feature characters released during the game's initial 1.0 cycle. This is notable given recent speculation that future updates will focus primarily on 5-star character releases. The inclusion of Asta, a character readily available early in the game, further supports this theory.

The potential selector units are:

• 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 outperformed by newer DPS units. It's also worth noting that all four are purchasable in the in-game store. The ongoing trend of releasing more 5-star than 4-star characters (nearly 40 5-star units compared to 23 4-star units) fuels concerns about future 4-star selectors having limited new unit options. With eight more 5-star characters anticipated in the upcoming Amphoreus update, and a rumored Fate/Stay Night crossover adding two more, this imbalance is likely to continue.

Despite this, Version 3.0 promises exciting additions, including the highly anticipated characters Herta and Aglaea. Honkai: Star Rail recently released redeem codes for Stellar Jades and materials, encouraging players to prepare for the upcoming updates. The veracity of this leak remains unconfirmed, but it offers an intriguing glimpse into the potential contents of Version 3.1.
