Trailblazers, get ready for an absolutely massive update in Honkai: Star Rail! Leaks for Version 3.4 are pointing towards one of the most exciting patches yet, packed with a highly anticipated collaboration, significant character buffs, a new playable character, and an unprecedented number of five-star reruns. Mark your calendars, because Version 3.4 is reportedly launching on July 2nd!
The Long-Awaited Fate/Stay Night Collaboration Arrives!
Headlining Version 3.4 is Honkai: Star Rail’s very first crossover event, bringing iconic characters Archer and Saber from the beloved Fate/Stay Night series into the game! While details on the event are still emerging, Saber’s banner is rumored to run longer than standard banners, potentially extending beyond the update’s conclusion. This collaboration alone is enough to send ripples of excitement through the community!
Character Buffs: Old Favorites Get a Boost!
HoYoverse is reportedly implementing a welcome change in Version 3.4: character buffs for several older five-star units! If you’ve been hoping for your favorites to shine brighter, you’re in luck. The characters slated to receive boosts are:
- Blade
- Silver Wolf
- Kafka
- Jingliu
This is fantastic news for players looking to strengthen their existing rosters and could lead to interesting meta shifts.
New Character Debut: Phainon Joins the Roster!
After making prominent appearances in the Amphoreus storyline, the mysterious Phainon is finally set to make his playable debut in Version 3.4. Leaks suggest Phainon will be a five-star Physical Destruction character, likely a powerful damage dealer.
An Unprecedented Ten Five-Star Reruns!
Get your Stellar Jade ready, because Version 3.4 is going to be a feast for collectors! Leaks indicate an astounding ten different five-star characters will be featured in rerun banners throughout the update, alongside the new character Phainon and the collaboration banner. Here’s a breakdown of the rumored banner schedule:
Version 3.4 First Half:
The first half of the update is reportedly a triple rerun banner focusing on Harmony characters, alongside the new character Phainon. This is a rare occurrence and an incredible opportunity to grab some of the game’s most powerful support units!
- Phainon (New Character) – Five-star Physical Destruction
- Sunday – Five-star Imaginary Harmony
- Tribbie – Five-star Quantum Harmony
- Sparkle – Five-star Quantum Harmony
Version 3.4 Second Half:
The second half will feature a rerun of the popular Firefly, alongside all four characters receiving buffs in this version, giving players a chance to pull them with their newly enhanced kits!
- Firefly – Five-star Fire Destruction
- Jingliu – Five-star Ice Destruction
- Kafka – Five-star Electric Nihility
- Silver Wolf – Five-star Quantum Nihility
- Blade – Five-star Physical Destruction
It’s worth noting that Blade, who was recently added to the standard rotation, will be available through both his event banner and as an option for losing the 50/50, providing more avenues to acquire him.
What Else to Expect?
While the focus of these leaks is on banners and characters, we know Version 3.4 will bring a wealth of other major content alongside the Fate/Stay Night collaboration. The recent Version 3.3 introduced Hyacine and Cipher, keeping the roster fresh, and it seems HoYoverse is continuing to expand and enhance the Honkai: Star Rail experience for all Trailblazers.
