The livestream’s redemption codes are as follows, and they’ll expire by August 3rd at 23:59 (UTC+8). Redeem them soon, Trailblazers! There are some exciting upcoming new characters you’ll want to warp for!

Be sure to share the highlights page as well for some in-game rewards!

Version 3.5 Trailer Highlights

Honestly, what can we say that’s NOT a spoiler for the upcoming story update?! The new trailer features not only all of the Chrysos Heirs we’ve grown to adore, but also some new looks for March 7th and Dan Heng!

They also showcased our new Chessmaster Monarch and Wave-striding Knight, which we’ll take a better look at later!

Cyrene also takes the definition of “cute and mysterious magical girl” to a whole new level too, so be sure to check out Version 3.5 when it releases! Perhaps she’ll be a playable character in Version 3.6 or later?!

New Characters & Light Cones

Version 3.5 features two new characters and their respective Light Cones! Both Kafka, Silver Wolf, and their signature Light Cones will also be re-running, following the recent Novaflare optimizations. Check out who to roll for in the latest update:

  • Version 3.5 First Half:
    After Version 3.5 update September 2nd at 11:59 Server Time
  • Version 3.5 Second Half:
    September 2nd at 12:00September 23rd at 15:00 Server Time

You can also continue warping for the Fate Collaboration characters Saber and Archer, as well as their respective Light Cones! Be aware though, as the “Fate Gift” event is only available until August 13th! You can still accept your free copy of Archer until the end of Version 3.6!

Upcoming Events

The upcoming Version Event for Honkai: Star Rail is the Chrysos Maze Grand Restaurant! Help the other Chrysos Heirs run a restaurant, deep in the Maze of Aedes Elysiae! Some of the valuable rewards you can are Stellar Jades, a new 4-Star Light Cone, and a new Phone Wallpaper! Improve the restaurant’s star ratings to get Light Cone superimposition materials for “The Forever Victual (Harmony)”.

The other event featured in Version 3.5 is Old Brews & New Friends! Previously added back in Version 2.1, Trailblazers get to show off their drinksmithing skills with new drinks, new customers to serve, and a mysterious “Special Mix Recipe”!

In addition, other Version 3.5 events include:

New Boss Enemy, Ascension Material, & Exploration Area

Lygus was recently revealed as one of the villains in the latest Story Update, and now you’ll have the chance to fight him in Version 3.5! After defeating Theoros: Lygus, you’ll be able to replay his fight and get weekly rewards from the Echo of War. But watch out, for he’ll definitely prove to be a challenge!

If you’re looking to build Ice characters in the future, there will be a new Ascension Material obtainable from the Stagnant Shadow: Shape of Sirens. Perhaps this will be for the new March 7th? In other news, be sure to start farming for Hysilens and Cerydra if you plan to pull for them!

There’s also a new area called Styxia for you to explore, the Warbling Shores of Amphoreus! As always, it’ll surely feature many treasure chests, puzzles, and new enemies to discover!

Other Optimizations

That’s not all for today, Trailblazers! Version 3.5 will also feature various system updates, such as updating the Relic Customization feature! It seems they’re planning to convert all Wishful Resin into Self-Modeling Resin, so be sure to save up!

If you’re still super lost on how to build your characters, you can check out the new optimizations on the Smart Equip function! But just know this is entirely based off your current inventory of Relics, and the best way to build characters (in our humble opinion) is by looking up guides on Icy Veins!

And last, but not least, starting in Version 3.5, you’ll be able to hear the Fate Collaboration characters’ voices without having to change your audio language settings beforehand! If you haven’t gotten around to completing the Collaboration event, be sure to get it done before all the good rewards go away!


That’s all for this Livestream Recap, Trailblazers! We look forward to reuniting with the Astral Express crew, and hopefully we can all save Amphoreus together in the final cycle of dawn!
