Summary
According to reliable leaks, HoYoverse may not be working on any 4-star character for Honkai Star Rail at the moment. This has stirred concern among F2P players and fans waiting for more accessible units.
No New 4-Star Character in Development in HSR
According to well-known leaker Sakura Haven, no 4-star characters are in development right now in Honkai Star Rail. This comes at a time when players are hoping for more affordable, versatile units to join the roster.
The last 4-star unit, Moze, was released way back in Version 2.6. Since then, no other 4-stars have been introduced. Rumored releases like Mr. Reca and Screwllum haven’t materialized either, and Mr. Reca’s debut is reportedly postponed indefinitely.
Why This Is Bad News for F2P Players
Without frequent 4-star additions, F2P players are left with limited banner options. Since 5-star units require more resources and luck, 4-star characters usually help balance the meta for budget-conscious players. This leak only confirms that gap may remain for at least the next five patches.
Collab Characters Also Aren’t 4-Star
Many hoped that Honkai Star Rail’s Fate Stay Night collab would bring at least one 4-star unit. However, both Archer and Saber were confirmed as 5-stars. This means players will have to rely on reruns or existing low-rarity units for roster diversity.
Is HoYoverse Hiding Something?
Sakura Haven noted that the lack of 4-star leaks doesn’t rule out internal testing. HoYoverse might still be working on them behind the scenes. But for now, there’s no solid evidence of new 4-star units anytime soon.
Final Thoughts
While Honkai Star Rail continues to grow with exciting updates and high-rarity characters, the absence of new 4-star options is alarming. If this trend continues, F2P players may find it harder to keep up with the evolving meta. Let’s hope HoYoverse has a surprise in store soon.
