Reignite Hope in Honkai Star Rail Version 3.1 ‘Light Slips the Gate, Shadow Greets the Throne’

Honkai: Star Rail's Version 3.1, "Light Slips the Gate, Shadow Greets the Throne," launches February 26th, escalating the Flame-Chase Journey with new challenges and mysteries.

Honkai Star Rail Version 3.1 Introduces New Characters

Two new 5-star characters join the roster: Tribbie and Mydei. Following the securing of Nikador's Coreflame, players explore the Grove of Epiphany, a new map, rescuing survivors and unraveling the catastrophe's origins. The quest continues with the retrieval of Cerces' Coreflame to restore hope to Okhema.

Version 3.1 delves into the Abyss of Fate (formerly Janusopolis), now revealed in its Day State. This exploration unveils the Era Chrysea's forgotten history and Tribbie's past. Tribbie (Tribios), a 5-star Quantum Harmony character and Janusopolis' Holy Maiden, carries a prophecy from Kephale about Deliverance.

Mydei, Castrum Kremnos' crown prince, is a fierce 5-star Imaginary Destruction character. His combat style involves sacrificing HP to power up, triggering an enhanced form with automatic enemy attacks during his turns.
