Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.2 Celebrates the Second Anniversary

by

This morning during the special program for Honkai: Star Rail, HoYoverse has officially revealed the upcoming Version update for their space-travel RPG. The new version, Honkai: Star Rail 3.2, named “Through the Petals in the Land of Repose”, is set to be released on April 9, 2025.

As we celebrate two incredible years of Honkai: Star Rail, I can’t help but feel excited! In honor of this special occasion, players like me are in for a treat with a fantastic login bonus that showers us with rewards. Not one, but two fresh characters will be joining our adventure, making the journey even more thrilling. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, new quests have been added to keep us on our toes and unraveling the mysteries of this captivating world!

Honkai Star Rail Version 3.2 – New Playable Characters

Two fresh characters, Castorice and Anaxa, are joining the roster. Castorice is a five-star Quantum character who adheres to the Path of Remembrance. In battle, she uses the Netherwing, an ethereal being spawned from millennia of memories and divine power. During combat, the Netherwing aligns with Castorice to unleash powerful combined attacks. As allies lose health, this energy is converted into health for the Netherwing, boosting both its power and the damage output of Castorice. Moreover, when the party is in trouble, it distracts enemies by provoking them, then explodes in a sacrificial blaze upon leaving the field, dealing extra damage while healing allies simultaneously.

Additionally, Castorice presents a unique survival mechanic exclusive to Honkai: Star Rail. In combat, if an ally receives a fatal blow, they don’t instantly perish but are instead kept alive in a critical condition. This momentary respite allows certain conditions to be met, enabling the character to revive and re-enter the fight. Remarkably, this ability persists even when Castorice is not included in the team.

As a gamer, I control Anaxa, a distinguished figure hailing from the Seven Sages of the Grove of Epiphany and the founder of Nousporism. This five-star Wind character walks the path of wisdom in combat. In battles, Anaxa’s strikes have a knack for weakening opponents at random. As these weaknesses accumulate on an enemy, he triggers Qualitative Disclosure – a special state that amps up his damage output and enables him to unleash a subsequent Skill Attack without touching my Skill Points. His ultimate move, Sublimation, instantly inflicts seven weaknesses onto all adversaries in one fell swoop.

In the initial phase of Version 3.2, you’ll find Castorice. This period also includes a unique reprint banner featuring Fugue, Jiaoqiu, and Acheron. Later in the update, Anaxa will make her debut, accompanied by a repeat banner for Dr. Ratio.

Honkai Star Rail Adds New Trailblaze Story 

As Thanatos, the Death Titan, vanishes and Oronyx unexpectedly crumbles, the Trailblazers embark on an adventure with Castorice, the Chrysos Heir, towards Styxia – a once-great city-state now lost under the Sea of Souls. This submerged place is filled with massive dragon skeletons and restless spirits that wander aimlessly.

Players will be led by an old lantern as they slowly uncover the ancient secrets behind the Titans and the draconic catastrophe through snippets of stories told by spectral inhabitants.

In addition to external threats, the heroes also grapple with internal conflicts. The Elders’ Council of Okhema seeks to halt the Flame-Chase Journey by means of a council decision, while the undead scholar Anaxa, fueled by Cerces’ Coreflame, adds another layer of complexity. His clandestine negotiations with the Elders’ Council suggest a shady alliance. As the secrets of Styxia and Okhema’s politics become more entwined, the Trailblazers’ journey becomes increasingly treacherous, as their expedition and the Flame-Chase Journey encounter even greater obstacles.

Honkai Star Rail Celebrates the 2nd Anniversary

Alongside the introduction of new characters, Honkai: Star Rail is set to mark its second anniversary. To honor this milestone, an anniversary-exclusive event called the Festive Gifts will launch, enabling players to receive 20 free pulls simply by logging in daily. On the anniversary date, April 26th, players will be rewarded with a special in-game card from a companion and 1,600 Stellar Jades as a gift. Furthermore, players can choose one free 5-star character between Ruan Mei or Luocha.

During the Star Rail WORLD event, Trailblazers will team up with familiar faces to plan a cosmic party for everyone. Players need to use smart decision-making skills to raise money, upgrade venues, and gather reliable partners for assistance. As resources accumulate, additional booths and helpers will become available, making the celebration even more spectacular. Additionally, Trailblazers can engage in Seal Slammers, a fun mini-game where they can challenge their Chrysos Heir friends in exciting seal-themed collisions.
