Honkai Star Rail Top Up

Honkai Star Rail 3.4 is about to start, and this version is bound to make players excited! Not only because FATE collaboration brings two new characters to players, but also because after the foreshadowing of the previous chapters, the story is about to usher in a major turning point at this stage.

Banners

First, the character banners that most players are concerned about. Version 3.4 is divided into two stages as always. The first stage is three new characters, including two crossover characters, and the second stage is rerun characters. Version 3.4 has a lot of content, but the accumulated rewards alone are not enough for you to return with a full load in 3.4. You may also need Honkai Star Rail Top Up to get all the characters and Light Cones you want.

• Stage 1: Phainon, Saber, Archer
• Stage 2: Tribbie, Sparkle, Sunday, Firefly, Jingliu, Blade

Version 3.4 New Light Cones

• Thus Burns the Dawn
• A Thankless Coronation
• The Hell Where Ideals Burn
• The Story’s Next Page
• A Dream Scented in Wheat
• A Trail of Bygone Blood
• The Flower Remembers
• In Pursuit of the Wind
• Unto Tomorrow’s Morrow
• Journey, Forever Peaceful
• See You at the End
• Holiday Thermae Escapade

Version 3.4 Rerun Light Cones

• If Time Were a Flower
• Earthly Escapade
• A Grounded Ascent
• Whereabouts Should Dreams Rest
• I Shall Be My Own Sword
• The Unreachable Side

Phainon

Version 3.4 The core secret of Omphalos will be revealed, and the other form of Phainon shown in the PV makes players imagine, and they can’t help but look forward to and be curious about the changes that this “savior” will soon usher in.

Of course, besides the plot, Phainon’s own strength has also exceeded the expectations of many players. Phainon can not only use the second form shown in the plot in battle, but also gain a set of new skills and cool new special effects after transformation.

Whether it is a knife to cut open a space crack, wield a giant sword to split the earth, or summon a meteorite attack on the full screen, Phainon’s skills not only show players what “one man makes an army”, but also his strength is truly top-notch in all senses.

Such a character can actually become a playable character, which really makes players full of expectations. I wonder if you have saved enough Honkai Star Rail Oneiric Shard for it?

Phainon is the Physical DPS of Destruction path. The most suitable affixes for it are critical hit rate and critical hit damage. The best critical hit rate should be 100%, and the best critical hit damage should be over than 150%.

Recommended Light Cone:

• Best: Thus Burns the Dawn (five stars)

Alternatives:

• On the Fall of an Aeon (five stars)
• A Trail of Bygone Blood (four stars)
• Something Irreplaceable (five stars)
• Under the Blue Sky (four stars)

Recommended team: Phainon, Sunday, Bronya, Tingyun

Saber And Archer

Saber is one of the three heroines from Fate/Stay Night. She is the servant of Shirou Emiya (Archer), also known as Artoria or Altria. In this collaboration, she also belongs to the Destruction path and uses Wind element.

Archer is Shirou Emiya, the future form of the male protagonist of Fate/stay night. He follows The Hunt in the game and uses the element Quantum.

The crossover plot and activities will be themed around Holy Grail War and will try to restore the settings of Fate such as Noble Phantasm, class, Command Spell, etc., so that players can fully experience the charm of the Holy Grail War. As crossover characters, Saber and Archer, in addition to the 3D image, the iconic Noble Phantasm such as Excalibur and Unlimited Blade Works have also been accurately reproduced.

It is worth mentioning that the official has made special optimizations for these two crossover characters. You can set the voices of these two characters to Japanese, which can be said to be very sincere for this crossover.

Events And Benefits

Version 3.4 will open a new area, Aedes Elysiae, and a new main quest For the Sun is Set to Die and Sweet Dreams and the Holy Grail. This means that the plot will enter the next stage.

New Events:

• Fate/stay night: crossover activities.
• Origami Bird Clash: Online match-3 arcade game
• Novaflare: Enhanced character trial event
• 3.4 Gift of Odyssey: Daily login event
• 3.4 Planar Fissure: Double Planar Ornament drop event
• 3.4 Realm of the Strange: a double Cavern Relic rewards event.

Since Version 3.4 has three new characters, it is still a bit stressful to train them. The official also gave a lot of welfare activities. The crossover character Archer will be given away for free, and the crossover banner will be open for a long time. Players can also receive free materials to upgrade Archer to level 60.

In addition, after the 3.4 banner is drawn 200 times, you can also get the exclusive Light Cone of Archer for free. Finally, in the second half of this year, the official will also give away a limited five-star character for free to reduce the burden of Top Up for players.

The above is the general content of Version 3.4. The new characters and new plots of Honkai Star Rail are exciting. I hope you can reap a lot in the next version.

Honkai Star Rail will release a version update about every 1-2 months, and these updates will not only fix existing problems, but more importantly, they will bring more new gameplay and new characters that can be obtained in the corresponding banners.

After the 3.2 version was launched on April 9, 3.3 version, The Fall at Dawn’s Rise, will also be available to you. 3.3 will continue to advance the game progress based on the second half of 3.2, and bring new banners and characters, plots and experiential tasks. Let us introduce them to you one by one!

When Will 3.3 Be Released?

According to the previous new version live broadcast and other information, it is expected that Honkai: Star Rail 3.3 The Fall at Dawn’s Rise will be available on major platforms on May 21. Players in some countries and regions may be able to experience it on the evening of the 20th due to time differences.

Before that, 3.2 version will last until May 20, after which the game will enter a maintenance period until the 3.3 is launched. All you need to do to prepare is to complete the remaining tasks in 3.2 as soon as possible and ensure that your device can download the new version in time.

What New Characters Can Be Obtained?

One of the biggest features of these turn-based RPGs represented by Honkai Star Rail is that new characters will be introduced continuously. To be honest, this does have disadvantages, because too many new characters will gradually make old characters ignored, but new characters are indeed the main source of freshness in the game.

Usually Star Rail will release two banners in the new version, each with a main character, you can draw them with the existing Stellar Jade, then exchange more Stellar Jade by Honkai Star Rail Oneiric Shard to make sure your inventory.

The first phase of the banner of version 3.3 will bring the five-star wind character Hyacine, and the second phase will focus on the five-star quantum character Cipher. In addition, The Herta and Aglaea will be rerun as old characters in the two banners, respectively.

Hyacine

Hyacine is the main healer in the team. Through skills and ultimate skills, she summons Memosprite Ica and restores health for all teammates. The ultimate skill will cause Hyacine to enter a three-round Petrichoric Clear Skies state to increase the maximum health of teammates.

In addition to healing, Hyacine can also cause more damage to enemies through Ica according to the amount of healing she provides, or adjust skills according to the maximum health. Since another game character, Tribbie, will increase her maximum health according to the maximum health of teammates, it can be inferred that there will be a good synergy between them.

Cipher

Although this is a new character, you should be familiar with her - in fact, Cipher has already appeared as an NPC in version 3.2. Through the plot of 3.2, I believe you will be able to better utilize her abilities in 3.3 - provided that you can obtain her with enough Oneiric Shards.

In battle, Cipher will mark the enemy with the highest maximum health. When the enemy is damaged, she will record the damage and make a follow-up attack. The ultimate skill allows her to cause True DMG to the marked enemy. This makes Cipher a reliable sub-DPS or DPS in the future Honkai Star Rail.

New Main Plot

In version 3.2, the game introduced Castorice and Anaxa as new characters and fully expanded the relevant plot of Amphoreus. Version 3.3 will continue to advance the plot on this basis.

After gathering with Chrysos Heirs, you need to travel to a new map together, where you will encounter Aquila, the Sky Titan. At the same time, the story of Amphoreus continues, and Flame Reaver behind it is brewing a new conspiracy.

It is worth noting that Aquila, the Sky Titan is also a new boss added in version 3.3. You can farm Daythunder Anamnesis through it. This trace material can help the new character Cipher upgrade.

New Playable Activities

In order to fully enrich the playability of version 3.3, in addition to major updates such as new characters, The Fall at Dawn’s Rise also brings a series of new small activities.

Among them, “Trace ‘n’ Drift” is a kart mini-game built into Honkai: Star Rail. During the race, you can utilize and pick up props to avoid obstacles to get better scores and unlock different new cars. In addition, winning the race can also get Stellar Jade, Tracks of Destiny, and other items as rewards. Other new events include:

• Legend of the Galactic Baseballer: Demon King
• Gift of Odyssey
• Planar Fissure, and Garden of Plenty

Another new event that needs to be introduced is Stagnant Shadow: Shape of Deepsheaf. It is expected that playing this event can get Invasive Cloth as a reward, which is likely to be the physical Ascension material for the new character Phainon that will appear in version 3.4.

Another event added to Honkai: Star Rail in 3.1, Divergent Universe: Protean Hero, will bring 6 new unlockable schools in 3.3, as well as new Relic sets Warrior Goddess of Sun And Thunder and Wavestrider Captain.

The above is Honkai Star Rail all the information about the major new content in 3.3. As the release date is just around the corner, please be sure to prepare for it as soon as possible!
