Since Honkai Star Rail's release, there have been many improvements, and the game will celebrate its second anniversary on April 26 with numerous rewards and events. But before that, version 3.2 will be released on April 8.

Honkai Star Rail version 3.2 "Through the Petals in the Land of Repose" will feature the new 5-star character Castorice (Remembrance, Quantum) during Phase 1, along with a triple rerun for Fugue (Nihility, Fire), Acheron (Nihility, Lightning), and Jiaoqiu (Nihility, Fire). On top of that, new features are coming, as well as optimizations for existing ones to make activities easier for Trailblazers.

"Stellar Convergence" Exchange Shop

A new exchange shop for limited characters and light cones will come in version 3.2. During its first phase, players can exchange for the limited characters Ruan Mei (Harmony, Ice) and Luocha (Abundance, Imaginary), or the existing standard banner characters (Himeko, Welt, Bronya, Gepard, Clara, Yanqing, Bailu).

The following Limited Light Cones will also be available in the shop: "Past Self in Mirror" (Harmony), "She Already Shut Her Eyes" (Preservation), "The Unreachable Side" (Destruction), "Echoes of the Coffin" (Abundance), "In the Night" (The Hunt). Standard 5-star Light Cones are also included.

You will need to participate in limited-time events from version 3.2 to get Golden Companion Spirits to claim the 5-star character you want. For the Light Cones, you will need Light Cone Memory Shards. These Spirits and Shards do not have any expiration dates.

  • From Version 3.2 to 3.4, Trailblazers Level 4 and above will automatically receive 1 Golden Companion Spirit.
  • Participate in Cherished Recollection in Version 3.2. Gather a number of Oneiric Shards to receive one Golden Companion Spirit and four Light Cone Memory Shards.
  • You can exchange two Silver Companion Spirits for one Golden Companion Spirit.
  • The Light Cone Memory Shard is added to Nameless Glory. Reaching a certain level will give you one Shard (if free) and an additional one if you buy it.

Character Warp Optimization

From version 3.2 onwards, players will be able to customize the Character Event Warps. This includes non-featured 5-star characters in the banner. The first batch of limited 5-star characters includes Seele (The Hunt, Quantum), Blade (Destruction, Wind), and Fu Xuan (Preservation, Quantum).

Trailblazers can select up to seven characters from the standard 5-star characters and the first batch of limited characters. It will be best to go with the limited characters and include standard characters who will be useful to your current teams.

Supplement Materials Optimization

After Honkai Star Rail version 3.2, when players have enough low-rarity materials, they don't need to keep switching to the Synthesize menu. In the interface, the button will immediately prompt "Material Synthesis" if you don't have enough materials. This saves a lot of time for those who are constantly upgrading the stats of their characters and equipment.

Relic Farming Optimization

In the past, Trailblazers' inventories for their Relics were often full due to the abundance of low-star Relics after doing multiple runs. It's a bit difficult to sort through everything since each Relic run gives you more than 5 Relics of varying rarity.

In Honkai Star Rail version 3.2, players will have the option to salvage Relics that they don't want automatically. They can choose to auto-salvage 2-star or below, 3-star or below, or 4-star or below. This can also be turned off. However, having this function will save a lot of time trying to get rid of the low-rarity Relics.

Smart Discard Feature

This is a new feature being added in Honkai Star Rail version 3.2. It helps players organize their Relics in their inventory. There will be a "Smart Discard" button at the bottom of the inventory menu. Certain options will be available, and it will automatically filter Relic and mark them as Discard.

There is a filter option for Relic's main stat, "Not suitable for any recommended character." This will filter the Relics that have unsuitable Main Stats, typically useless for the build or not needed by the characters. There's also a sub-stats filter to further sort through the Relics.

One of the best improvements is the ability to sort through the enhanced Relics as well. This allows players to filter out Relics that have bad Main Stats or sub-stats.

Mass Superimposition Feature

A Mass Superimposition feature will be added to Honkai Star Rail version 3.2. Players will now have the option to mass superimpose 4-star Light Cones. There will be a "Mass Superimpose" option in the Light Cone inventory menu. Selecting this will bring up another interface, and players will see all the Light Cones they can superimpose. They can select or deselect the ones they don't want to superimpose.

Realm of the Strange and Garden of Plenty Optimization

In Honkai Star Rail version 3.2 and onwards, the double rewards from the Realm of the Strange and the Garden of Plenty will be consolidated. Players will get all double rewards chances for the entire event period. Now, there's no need to wait for daily refreshes.

These new features and optimizations are welcome changes that make it easier for Trailblazers. It's also exciting to have the chance to get Ruan Mei or Luocha without spending a lot of passes or real currency since they are some of the best characters in Honkai Star Rail.
