Honkai: Star Rail 3.0 Changes Explained
This FPS improvement apparently won’t be the only significant change in the upcoming update, as multipleHonkai: Star Railleakshint at an overhaul to the banner system. According to several sources, the limited banners will include double the number of characters compared to usual. Currently, each banner cycle features two five-star and three four-star units. However, the leaks suggest thatHonkai: Star Rail3.0 will feature four five-star characters per banner cycle, eight in total.
Fans have been requesting a similar change for many months, as the roster continues to grow, and some characters go several updates without being featured in a re-run. Many players speculate that these changes might be experimental and could potentially be implemented in other HoYoverse games, likeGenshin Impact.Five-star limited characters inGenshinhave gone over 500 days without appearing on a banner in some cases.Honkai: Star Railhas previously confirmed that Version 3.0 will introduce two new five-star characters: Aglaea and The Herta.
