Honkai Star Rail 1.3 update release date

Honkai Star Rail update 1.3 arrived on Wednesday, August 30, 2023. This means the second phase of Honkai Star Rail 1.2 banners featuring Kafka just ended.

Honkai Star Rail 1.3 banners

Thanks to a Honkai Star Rail trailer, we know that the 1.3 banners feature Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae and Fu Xuan, two highly-anticipated five-star characters.

Dan Heng – Imbibitor Lunae is a five-star Imaginary element character in the Path of The Destruction. He’s a new form of Dan Heng that will work as an entirely separate character in-game. Imbibitor Lunae headlines the first phase of the 1.3 banners.

Fu Xuan is a five-star Quantum element character in the Path of The Preservation. This new shielder is the head of the Xianzhou Luofu’s Divination Commission and will feature in the second phase of Honkai Star Rail 1.3 banners.

Additionally, Lynx, Gepard and Serval’s little sister, will also debut in the game with update 1.3. Lynx is a four-star Quantum character in the Path of The Abundance, meaning players are getting a new healer.

Yukong, Asta, and March 7th are joining Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae’s banner. Hook, Pela, and Lynx will be boosted during Fu Xuan’s.

Honkai Star Rail 1.3 events

HoYoverse have also revealed some of the events that players will be able to tackle with Honkai Star Rail 1.3 update. Here’s a rundown of every event players can expect:

Gift of Odyssey

A new edition of Gift of Odyssey has gone live with version 1.3, giving players the chance to claim 10 Star Rail Special Passes just by logging into the game. These Star Rail Passes are the ones needed to pull characters from limited-time banners, so don’t miss your chance.

Space Station Task Force

Celestial Eyes Above Mortal Ruins will take players back to Herta Space Station to help researchers with revival work. This event will add new special Assignments for a limited time, and players will be able to obtain rewards such as Stellar Jade, EXP materials, and more.

Aurum Alley’s Hustle and Bustle

Aurum Alley will be a new area of the Xianzhou Luofu, and it will be the center of the Aurum Alley’s Hustle and Bustle event. After finishing the Xianzhou Luofu storyline, players will be able to decide what to do with this area before going back to the Astral Express.

It will be up to players to determine if Aurum Alley will be rebuilt by the IPC or by the local merchant guilds through different objectives and decisions. Since players have to wait a bit more for the main storyline to continue, this event will keep them entertained.

Additionally, two returning events will boost drops on version 1.3 of Honkai Star Rail:

• The Planar Fissure event will double Planar Ormanet drops in the Simulated Universe.
• The Garden of Plenty event will double the rewards for completing Golden and Crimson Calyxs.

Honkai Star Rail 1.3 Trailblaze Power cap increase

Honkai Star Rail increased the Trailblaze Power cap with update 1.3.

Trailblaze Power allows players to tackle challenges like Calyxes and Simulated Universe worlds in search of valuable resources. The original cap is 180, meaning players had to wait 18 hours to regenerate all Trailblazer Power. With the new cap, players are able to do more challenges and need to wait a whole day for complete regeneration.

What’s more, update 1.3 also introduced players to the Reserved Trailblaze Power feature. “When Trailblaze Power reaches or exceeds the max limit, Reserved Trailblaze Power will begin to regenerate over time,” states the official description. This means players have even more Trailblaze power to tackle all kinds of challenges daily.
