The latest update for Honkai: Star Rail, Version 3.8 “Memories are the Prelude to Dreams,” introduces the new five-star character Constance: The Dahlia, tough new enemies, and special limited-time events. You can watch the trailer, see screenshots, and find all the details on the HoYoverse website.
The special preview broadcast for Wuthering Waves Version 3.0 will be shown on December 12, 2025, at 7:00 PM (China Standard Time).
PlayStation recently showed off gameplay for version 3.0, revealing that players will use a new vehicle called the ‘Expedition Motorbike’ to explore a new area named Lahai-Roi. Some players thought the motorbike might only be available to the new character Lynae, who was shown riding it in the gameplay video, but it’s actually a feature all players will have access to on their account.
When wishing for characters on any banner, you have a 0.6% chance of getting a 5-star character and a 5.1% chance of getting a 4-star. You’re guaranteed to get at least a 4-star character every 10 wishes. The game also guarantees a 5-star character within 90 wishes – this is called ‘hard pity’. Before that, around the 75-80 wish mark (‘soft pity’), your chances of getting a 5-star character significantly increase, so most players get one before reaching the 90-wish guarantee.
The next livestream will reveal new characters coming to The Dahlia and share details about upcoming events in Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.8. HoYoverse will also be giving away promo codes during the stream that Honkai: Star Rail players can use for a short time to get in-game rewards.
A common theme in the discussions is how challenging it can be to build a strong team. One player, IlluminatiFetus, shared their difficulty with a specific part of the story, the Dark Sun Gryphon, saying they felt stuck on how to proceed. Having already invested in developing characters like Jade and Jingyuan, they were understandably stressed about making the right team choices. Many other players seem to be focused on perfecting their lineups too. Several helpful players offered advice, suggesting things like focusing on how different character abilities work together and building teams that maximize damage based on individual playstyles. These discussions highlight how much players can learn from each other when figuring out the best team combinations.
Okay, so everyone’s been talking about how slow the character buffs are coming out, and it’s really frustrating. I saw GameMusicIsArt point out they were surprised some characters, like Blade, even got buffs, and a ton of us chimed in agreeing. One player, Objective_Medium_994, basically said we’re still waiting on a second round of buffs, and we need them soon! Six characters are currently needing adjustments, and honestly, it feels like the devs need to speed things up if they want to keep the game fair. It’s like ordering pizza when you’re starving – you’re hyped, but then it finally arrives and it’s just…cold. We need that hot pie, you know?
A lot of players are agreeing that Robin really needs a dedicated support equipment set. The discussion started when a player named AglaeaFan simply pointed out this lack of support options. This quickly led to many others sharing their frustrations with Robin’s current equipment choices. One player jokingly referred to it as being part of the “Nihility club” – a group of support characters who don’t have great equipment options, often relying on makeshift setups like Eagle, mixed sets, or Pioneer for extra damage. This highlights the feeling that Robin and other similar characters are being overlooked when it comes to dedicated support builds.
So, after finishing up the whole Amphoreus storyline, we’re getting Version 3.8! Even though the Astral Express dealt with the big problem in the Eternal Land, it looks like there’s still plenty to do. I’m hearing whispers about a new boss coming in 3.8, and apparently, this boss might be connected to one of the characters we can actually play as and their personal story – pretty exciting!
Cerydra is a powerful support character who excels with teammates that rely on their Skills to inflict damage. She significantly boosts Skill damage and enables those characters to use their Skills more often. That’s why she pairs well with characters like Phainon and Anaxa. Here are some of the best team compositions for Cerydra in Honkai: Star Rail.
