Summary

A new leak aboutHonkai: Star Railversion 2.1 hints at a four-star character creator.Every playable banner inHonkai: Star Railhas a raritythat reflects their prestige and power. As inGenshin Impact, five-star characters usually have higher stats than four-star units; however, their drop rates are much lower. Frankly, there is not that big difference between the two types of banners, as both can be useful depending on which team composition they are a part of.

Some players may mistakenly assume that five-star units are much more powerful than four-stars, but this assumption is influenced by their personal preference. InHonkai: Star Rail, characters' powers rely not only on their rarity but also on their elements, Light Cones, and the relics they equip. Several four-star units, such as Tingyun, Asta, and Yukong, can see a fair bit of use in specific teams situationally.

A recentHonkai: Star Railleak from Dimbreathhas revealed that the version 2.1 event will feature a four-star character selector that allows players to pick between Gallagher, Misha, Guinaifen, Xueyi, Hanya, Luka, Lynx, or Wukong. This event will possibly be available to celebrate the game’s first anniversary in late April, which coincides with the second phase of 2.1.Honkai: Star Rail’s Gallagherbeing featured in the character selector is a bit surprising, as previous leaks suggested he would make his debut in the first phase of the update. It looks like one of these leaks will turn out to be incorrect.

Honkai: Star Rail’s Character Selector Will Offer The Newest Four-Star Unit

Aside from Gallagher, the character selector will reportedly offer the newest four-star unit, Misha, who just made his debut in version 2.0. He will potentially be a top choice for players thanks to his Ice-based skills that freeze enemies consistently.

Honkai: Star Railfeatures an abundance of four-star playable banners, each having a unique skill set. Many of these characters are available to pull from the Stellar Warp, on which players must spend Rail Passes they purchase with Stellar Jades. The probability of unlocking a four-star unit is 5.1%, but the Stellar Warp guarantees at least one within 10 consecutive warps.

As stated by reliable leakers,Honkai: Star Railupdate 2.1 is chock-a-block of contentdue to the game’s first anniversary. Fu Xuan and Topaz will allegedly get their banner along with the five-star Nihility unit Acheron. In addition, several new Planar Ornaments, which offer ATK and CRIT damage buffs, will be added in the upcoming update. Details aboutHonkai: Star Rail’s anniversary rewards are scarce, but given that HoYoverse recently showed its generosity with freebies, players can expect to get various characters and items without spending Stellar Jades.
