I’m going to give you a wild ride through today’s Honkai: Star Rail happenings—complete with my unchecked ramblings, so buckle up. First off, wow, the big day finally landed. We’ve got this crazy collaboration event with Fate/stay night, and people have been buzzing about it forever. Seriously, it’s like that feeling when you’re a kid waiting for your birthday party. Or maybe that’s just me?
Right, patch 3.4 hit a bit ago and sprinkled all sorts of goodies onto the game. Not just the Fate/stay night stuff—though that’s the star of the show, obviously.
Oh, and before I wander off—there was a developer livestream back in June, spilling the beans on what to expect. I knew about those guest characters well before today. Not saying I’m special. Or am I? Who knows.
It’s gonna stick around for a while, the event I mean. No end date in sight yet; folks are whispering it could float till November. But who listens to rumors, huh?
So, Saber and Archer are the big guns. Saber’s a 5-Star Wind/Destruction powerhouse —yeah, I’d want her on my team. And Archer? Also 5-Star but he’s free! Quantum/Hunt guy, with tons of materials to boot. Saber needs a bit of luck, though, you gotta pull for her.
Here’s a weird tidbit: these Fate characters? No English voiceovers. Yeah, curious choice since MiHoYo’s been pretty heavy-handed about their U.S. voice actors and the whole SAG-AFTRA strike mess. Mysterious, right?
Anyway—wait, what was I on about? Oh yeah, Trailblaze Continuance! “Sweet Dreams and the Holy Grail,” sounds straight out of a dream journal I once pretended to keep. Limited-time combat challenges, and exclusive prizes until August 11, so don’t sleep on that. It’ll move to Conventional Memoir later for anyone who’s all “Oops, missed it.”
Sprinkled in there, we’ve got some folks joining the fray who aren’t from the Fate cosmos. Phainon rings a bell? He’s been hanging around, but now he’s playable too—another 5-Star, naturally.
And don’t even get me started on reruns. Tribbie, Sunday, Sparkle—they’re coming back like that song you keep humming but don’t know the words. And then Firefly, Jingliu, Blade in Phase 2. If you’re into kits and upgrades, 3.4’s got some tasty bits for Kafka, Silver Wolf, and Blade.
So, that’s my chaotic spill on Honkai: Star Rail. Go forth and warp!
