1. Version 3.4 Beta Test Start and Expected Leak Information Timing
The Honkai: Star Rail version 3.4 beta test is about to begin, and there will be a major update.
Text-based leak information (character performance, Light Cones, Planar Ornament effects) is expected to be released on the night of May 21st.
Animation leak information is likely to be released on the night of May 22nd or the morning of the 23rd.
2. New Light Cone Information
A total of 13 new Light Cones will be added, including a new series obtainable from the Battle Pass.
The Battle Pass Light Cones are likely to have performance that emphasizes synergy design.
A 4-star Light Cone dedicated to 'Remembrance' Fate will be added to the Forgotten Hall exchange shop, useful for debuff/action-disrupting support characters.
A pure Hunt Fate 4-star Light Cone is expected to be added to the general gacha, but its performance is still unclear.
Among the 13 types, 3 are 5-star character-exclusive Light Cones, with unique skills and spectacular effects expected.
3. New Character Information
Detailed performance and animations of a total of 3 characters, Phaenon, Saber, and Archer, are scheduled to be revealed.
The most attention is focused on the Physical-type Destruction Fate 5-star character 'Phaenon'.
Saber and Archer are 『Fate/stay night』 collaboration characters, with team support and skill point strategy mechanisms expected to be added.
4. Existing Character Adjustments
Silver Wolf: Increased certainty of granting initial attributes to allies, improved by applying defense debuffs to all.
Kafka: Can trigger continuous damage explosion with follow-up attacks.
Jing Yuan: HP-based scaling and taunt ability enhanced.
Blade: Critical damage and energy generation are enhanced the lower the HP.
5. New Planar Ornaments
At least 2 new sets will be added, enabling unique configurations not previously available.
First set: Damage bonus increases or decreases depending on the number of allies (no effect when there are 4).
It is said that the Remembrance also benefits.
Second set: Enhances total damage and continuous damage, presenting new possibilities for continuous damage-focused formations.
6. Store Renewal and Possibility of Adding New 5-Star Characters (Speculation)
There is a possibility that a new 5-star character will be added as the store selling Luocha/Ruan Mei is renewed with the 3.4 update (leaked information).
If realized, it will attract attention as a means of reacquiring limited-time characters.
This is not yet confirmed information, so stay tuned for additional news.
