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.
