Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.1 Unveiled: '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 storyline into new, uncharted territories.

New Characters in Honkai Star Rail Version 3.1

Version 3.1 introduces two new 5-star characters: Tribbie and Mydei. Following the acquisition of Nikador's Coreflame, the narrative shifts to the Grove of Epiphany. Players will rescue survivors, unravel the catastrophe's mysteries, and ultimately strive to recover Cerces' Coreflame to restore hope to Okhema.

The update delves into the Abyss of Fate (formerly Janusopolis), now revealed in its Day State. This exploration unearths the long-lost history of the Era Chrysea and, significantly, Tribbie's past. Tribbie (Tribios), a demigod and 5-star Quantum character following the Path of Harmony, is the Holy Maiden of Janusopolis, entrusted with a prophecy of Deliverance.

Mydei, the crown prince of Castrum Kremnos, is a fierce 5-star Imaginary character following the Path of Destruction. His combat style involves sacrificing HP to power up, transforming into an enhanced state with automatic enemy attacks during his turns.
