Honkai Star Rail 3.0 Leaks Tease Major Character Banner Update

[ad_1]

Character banners in Honkai: Star Rail 3.0 will undergo a major update, according to leaks. Currently, players have access to the possibility of obtaining four 5-star characters per patch. Phase 1 banners feature two 5-star units and when the update reaches its second half, the gacha system updates and the Phase 2 banners become available, removing the Phase 1 banners. As such, players have three weeks to pull for any 5-star character they desire. The Honkai: Star Rail 2.7 banners, for example, will feature Sunday and Jing Yuan in Phase 1, while Fugue and Firefly will appear in Phase 2.

This may change soon, according to new leaks that are being shared. The information was shared in a post flagged as “Questionable” on Reddit. The leak says that the banner events across all of HoYoverse’s games will be updated and that the changes in the turn-based RPG will commence in Version 3.0, which kicks off the title’s third year of content. According to the leak, new characters will appear in banners that last the entirety of the update, while rerun banners will appear in Phase 2, exclusively, after half of the patch in Honkai: Star Rail has passed.

New Characters Deserve More Time In The Spotlight

As is mentioned in the leak, any new characters released during and after Version 3.0 should appear in their respective update’s banner system for 42 days – or the six weeks that a patch normally lasts. Rerun characters, alternatively, should be available for only 21 days, or three weeks. This is fairly good news for players. As an example, players will be given access to two new 5-star units in Version 3.0. If the leak is true, Aglaea and The Herta in Honkai: Star Rail 3.0 will be available for more time.

Honkai Star Rail: All Amphoreus Characters Revealed So Far (Chrysos Heirs)

Several new characters from Amphoreus in Honkai: Star Rail have been officially revealed by developer HoYoverse ahead of the destination’s release.

New units tend to be exciting, so providing players extra time to pull for them is a great move. This is especially true when considering that a large amount of Stellar Jade in each update is locked behind limited-time events. Some events only become available during the latter half, so, currently, these resources can’t be used to pull for a new character who only appeared in Phase 1 banners, for example. If the leaks are true, players will have until the update’s final day to use all their Stellar Jade in Honkai: Star Rail to pull for new characters.

If the leaked update to banners is true, this will also help highlight a patch’s new characters, giving them a heightened sense of importance. New characters are released, and they suddenly leave the banners, which happens all too quickly. This can be seen in Version 2.7. Honkai: Star Rail’s Sunday, who is expected to be a game-changer, will only be available for three weeks, and then it is uncertain when he will rerun. If the update were already implemented, players would have a full six weeks to try and obtain him in preparation for the upcoming year.

Honkai: Star Rail 3.0 Leaks Show Remembrance Trailblazer’s Kit & Mimi May Be Indispensable

New leaks about the Remembrance Trailblazer’s gameplay kit in Honkai: Star Rail 3.0 have been shared, showcasing their Servant called Mimi.

As promising as the leaked banner update may seem, it should be considered with some caution. The leak was already flagged as “Questionable” and, even if it is true, it could be implemented in another update after Version 3.0, for example. Furthermore, it could even be left out of Honkai: Star Rail, as the rumors show it should be implemented across multiple HoYoverse games, so the company may choose to first add it to Genshin Impact, for example.
