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, igniting the Flame-Chase Journey with new mysteries and uncharted territory.

Honkai Star Rail Version 3.1 Introduces New Characters

Version 3.1 introduces two new 5-star characters: Tribbie and Mydei. Following the securing of Nikador's Coreflame, the story continues in the new Grove of Epiphany map. Trailblazers will rescue survivors, unravel the catastrophe's truth, and reclaim 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 Tribbie's past. Tribbie (Tribios), the Holy Maiden of Janusopolis, is a 5-star Quantum character following the Path of Harmony, spreading a prophecy received from Kephale.

Mydei, the crown prince of Castrum Kremnos, is a fierce 5-star Imaginary character following the Path of Destruction. He utilizes his own HP to power up, transforming into an enhanced form that automatically attacks enemies during his turns.
