Honkai Star Rail’s massive version 3.0 update has finally arrived, and alongside it brand new characters, story missions, gear, outfits, and more. Basically, there’s now everything and a lot of it.
The story picks up where version 2.9 left off, and sees you head to the Eternal Land, Amphoreous. There, you will discover new locations including Okhema city, Castrum Kremnos ruins, Vortex of Genesis, and Janusopolis.
Who Are the New Characters?
In terms of new characters, the headline is The Herta, a five star puppet version of Herta who is incredibly powerful. Check out our full The Herta tier list and build to learn more.
We also meet Aglaea, a Remembrance and Lightning five star character who also focuses on DPS. She can summon a memosprite to battle alongside her.
Lastly, there’s a brand new version of the Trailblazer who focuses on support, boosting their ally’s DPS and allows them to take action immediately.
You mentioned Gear?
In terms of gear, we’re looking at seven new Light Cones, two five stars, three four, and two three. Naturally, expect the five stars to focus on the new characters.
While it’s purely cosmetic, there is a brand new Nascent Spring outfit that you can earn by completing the Fashion Guide of the Cosmos event. It will arrive in the Contract Shop after the event ends.
Then, we’ve got two new relics, ‘Hero of Triumphant Song’ and ‘Poet of Mourning Collapse’.
