With Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.0 fast approaching, a new leak revealed the potential 5-star rerun characters for the update. Coming out in January, this version signals the start of the next major Honkai: Star Rail arc, which will be set in Amphoreus.
According to available lore, Amphoreus is a planet that no one has been to and can only be seen through the reflections of the Garden of Recollection's mirrors. Just like the planet, Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.0's story is also shrouded in mystery, with initial teasers hinting at a conflict between gods and mortals. What's for certain is that Honkai: Star Rail has already introduced a lineup of new characters from Amphoreus.
Honkai: Star Rail Confirms Physical Edition Release Date
Honkai: Star Rail reveals the release dates of its physical PlayStation 5 edition in various regions, as well as the bundle's collectibles.
Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.0 also features The Herta and Aglaea as 5-star banner characters, with their accompanying rerun characters still unconfirmed. Meanwhile, Honkai: Star Rail leakers StepLeaker and BabyMonsterTeam revealed that Jade and Robin could be the next 5-star rerun characters. HoYoverse has yet to confirm this, so this could still change in the coming weeks.
Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.0's Rumored Rerun Characters Explained
- Jade: Quantum, Path of Erudition
- Robin: Physical, Path of Harmony
Rerun characters usually complement the main banner units, and if one looks at Jade and Robin's functions, they seem to synergize quite well with The Herta and Aglaea, respectively. As Erudition characters, both Jade and The Herta can attack multiple enemies, with the latter possibly having a follow-up attack just like her 4-star form. Meanwhile, Robin could be a viable support unit for Aglaea, who's a Remembrance character that's rumored to be a DPS unit, because she can advance movement and buff attack stats.
In the comments below the leak report, the majority of fans were skeptical about the information because Robin just had a rerun in Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.5. They also said they weren't surprised to see Jade as a potential rerun candidate, especially if she will be released alongside The Herta.
It will be interesting to see how new characters like Aglaea, The Herta, and others will dictate the meta in Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.0 onward. The debut of the new Path of Remembrance, which is said to come with summon abilities, will add more excitement and variety to combat. In fact, players can already prep for their Remembrance teams with Honkai: Star Rail's 5-star support character Sunday, whose abilities benefit summoned units.
