Get ready for an epic new journey in Honkai: Star Rail with the arrival of Version 3.1, 'Light Slips the Gate, Shadow Greets the Throne,' set to launch on February 26th.

Honkai Star Rail Version 3.1 Introduces New Characters

Version 3.1 brings two exciting new 5-star characters to the game: Tribbie and Mydei. Fans following the storyline know that Nikador’s Coreflame has been secured, and now the adventure progresses into the Grove of Epiphany, a fresh new map. As part of the main Trailblaze Mission, you'll engage in the rescue of survivors and unravel the truth behind a recent catastrophe. Your mission will then lead you to reclaim Cerces’ Coreflame, sparking hope anew in Okhema.

Dive deep into the Abyss of Fate, the former Janusopolis now revealed in its Day State, where the narrative explores the forgotten history of the Era Chrysea and delves into Tribbie's past. Tribbie, also known as Tribios, is a demigod and a 5-star Quantum character on the Path of Harmony. As the Holy Maiden of Janusopolis, she received a prophecy from Kephale about Deliverance and is dedicated to spreading the word.

Mydei, the crown prince of Castrum Kremnos, is a warrior with the ferocity of a lion. He's a 5-star Imaginary character on the Path of Destruction, known for burning through his HP to charge up, then entering an enhanced form to automatically slam enemies during his turns.

Returning Characters in Honkai Star Rail Version 3.1

Version 3.1 offers another chance to obtain some beloved returning characters. The limited 5-star characters Yunli and Huohuo are back in the spotlight. Yunli will be available during the first half of the warp event, while Huohuo makes her appearance in the second half.
