Honkai: Star Rail is poised for an exciting new update set to launch this January, transporting players to the mysterious realm of Amphoreus. Dubbed the “Eternal Land,”this fourth planet is largely uncharted and dominated by three influential Aeon Paths. Recent teasers have provided glimpses into the main city of Amphoreus, along with some intriguing characters that the Astral Express Crew will encounter in the upcoming months.
This upcoming update, Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.0, promises a variety of new features and enhancements. Fans were first introduced to some of these elements during the Version 2.7 Special Program stream, including the revelation of new 5-star banner characters, The Herta and Aglaea, along with a fresh summon mechanic associated with the newly introduced Path of Remembrance. Yet, a number of leaks and speculations remain unconfirmed, generating much discussion among the community.
Rumored Features in Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.0
Amphoreus’ Time-Bending Mechanic
Intriguingly, Amphoreus may incorporate a time-bending mechanic, drawing some inspiration from Greek mythology. While the exact integration of this mechanic into gameplay—be it in exploration or combat—remains to be seen, it has sparked considerable interest among players.
Remembrance Trailblazer Speculations
There are persistent rumors suggesting that the next form of the Trailblazer will be an Ice-type Remembrance character, accompanied by a Memosprite named “Mimi.”As leaker Shiroha indicates, this new iteration may feature combat mechanics reminiscent of the interaction between Topaz and Numby, although confirmation remains elusive.
Functionality of Memosprites
Memosprites serve as allied summons for Remembrance characters, and leaks suggest they could include a distinct ability menu similar to that found in the Persona series. Reports indicate that Memosprites could function similarly to existing characters like Numby and Lightning Lord, allowing for advancements through support characters such as Sunday. However, the precise mechanics tied to Memosprites still await official confirmation.
The Anticipated “Dark” March 7th
After already receiving an alternate 4-star The Hunt form, March 7th is rumored to be getting yet another transformation in Version 3.0. Dubbed “Dark March 7th,”this new form is expected to align with the Remembrance type, featuring its own Memosprite. With March 7th as the only protagonist without a 5-star variant, fans are eagerly hoping that this update will finally bring that change.
Enhanced Battle Pass Rewards
Version 3.0 is set to roll out new Battle Pass rewards, notably including Wishful Resin and Variable Dice, which are anticipated to significantly enhance gameplay, particularly for Free-to-Play (F2P) users. These items were initially teased during the Version 2.7 stream, and players enrolled in both free and paid battle passes will have opportunities to farm them, facilitating optimization of Relics and Planar sets.
- Wishful Resin: This can be combined with Self-Modeling Resin to craft Relics featuring a selection of primary and up to two secondary stats.
- Variable Dice: This item allows players to redistribute upgrades on a Relic’s stats.
Introduction of the Treasure Compass
For players who dedicate substantial time to treasure hunting within Honkai: Star Rail, the upcoming update may offer a solution to the challenges of finding hidden chests, especially in convoluted areas like Penacony’s Dreamscape. A rumored new Treasure Compass could enable players to pinpoint uncollected treasure chest locations. If the rumors hold true, this compass may be available at various in-game locations, such as the Herta Space Station, Jarilo-VI, and Xianzhou Luofu, potentially aiding players in locating all 50 chests rumored to be scattered throughout Amphoreus.
A Free 4-Star Character Opportunity
Recent hints from notable leaker HomDGCat suggest that players may receive another free 4-star character in Version 3.0. The teaser included an envelope marked “Fateful Crossings: Mysterious Labyrinth,”hinting at a selection among Guinaifen, Hanya, Tingyun, and Hook. The exact method for obtaining this character remains uncertain—it could be tied to an event or a special reward linked to the release of Version 3.0.
- Guinaifen: Fire, Path of Nihility
- Only: Physical, Path of Harmony
- Tingyun: Lightning, Path of Harmony
- Hook: Fire, Path of Destruction
