Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.2 Adjustments and Events Revealed
PreviousHonkai: Star Railleakshave revealed that the art book will be obtainable through an in-game giveaway. The art book will reportedly showcase artwork of locations and characters from theHonkai: Star Railuniverse. Overall, fans were somewhat disappointed with last year’s anniversary event and hope that HoYoverse will step up its game this year. While players should not expect a significantly larger influx of Stellar Jade compared to last year, the changes to the banner system seem promising for many.
Many fans still want HoYoverse to address one ofHonkai: Star Rail’s biggest issues, which is power creep. The game’s fast-paced meta shifts make older characters feel significantly weaker compared to newer roster additions. Some comments have pointed out that allowing 50/50 drops to include older limited characters might not be as impactful, considering that many of these units have not been meta-relevant for a long time.
Regarding roster additions in 3.2, HoYoverse has already announced two new five-star characters: Castorice and Anaxa. Castorice is expected to arrive in the first banner cycle, which should drop around April 8. This means Anaxa’s banner will most likely arrive in the second banner cycle ofHonkai: Star RailVersion 3.2, expected around April 30.
