Trailblazers, while the Honkai: Star Rail 3.3 livestream hasn’t aired yet (it’s tonight!), leaks for Version 3.4 are already here! This update introduces the new character Phainon and the highly anticipated Fate/Stay Night crossover, packed with thrilling content. Below, we’ll dive into the 3.4 banners, new characters, and event details—let’s get started!

Honkai: Star Rail 3.4 Release Date

The official livestream typically airs two weeks before the update, revealing more details. Stay tuned to official channels or OSLink for updates!

Honkai: Star Rail 3.4 Banner Characters

Phase 1: Phainon

The first half of 3.4 features Phainon, a 5★ Physical character following the Path of Destruction. Leaks suggest he’ll be a core DPS for Physical teams.

Unique Mechanics: 

•  Phainon’s Ultimate consumes a special resource (max 12 stacks). At certain thresholds, it activates, granting him a second form.

•  He gains stacks when targeted by allies’ single-target skills (1 stack) or using his own Basic/Skill (2 stacks). Traces provide additional sources.

•  Upon activation, Phainon enters Boundary mode: Allies vanish, and he gains extra turns with a new skill set (Q/E/X buttons). The X skill is enhanced, allowing adaptive attacks based on enemy types.

•  When extra turns end, he exits Boundary, deals AoE damage, and reverts to his original form.

New Relic Set – "Captain Over Cursed Waves": 

•  2-Piece: +16% CRIT DMG.

•  4-Piece: Gains 1 stack of [Support] (max 3) when targeted by allies’ skills. Each stack boosts ATK by 16% for 1 turn upon using Ultimate. This synergizes perfectly with Phainon’s kit.

Phase 2: Fate/Stay Night Collab Characters!

The second half brings Saber and Archer from Fate/Stay Night—designed by Takashi Takeuchi and story-supervised by Kinoko Nasu!

Saber 

•  5★ Wind Destruction 

•  Expected to excel in multi-hit burst damage.

•  Release: July 11, 12:00 (server time).

•  How to Obtain: Warp using Star Rail Special Passes.

Archer 

•  5★ Quantum Hunt 

•  Free Claim: Available from July 1, 12:00 until the end of Version 3.6.
