Honkai: Star Rail Version 4.0 Unleashes "No Aha at Full Moon"
Set to debut on February 13, the upcoming Version 4.0 of Honkai: Star Rail promises a captivating journey into the Elation arc with the introduction of Planarcadia, a realm pulsating with spectacle and entertainment. This fresh update, dubbed "No Aha at Full Moon," immerses players in a riveting narrative within a new world created to dazzle and engage.
Enter Planarcadia: The Stage of Phantasmoon Games
In Planarcadia, the domain of the Aeon Aha, Trailblazers are beckoned to partake in the Phantasmoon Games—a daring and lawless competition where the primary objective is simple yet intense: to capture attention. The victor of these games earns a prestigious audience with Aha and the esteemed title of "Aeon for a Minute." Spanning multiple updates throughout the year, this arc promises continual excitement and evolving challenges for players.
Discover Duomension City and Its Imagenae Residents
One of the central hubs within Planarcadia, Duomension City, teems with life as residents coexist with enigmatic beings known as "imagenae." These creatures thrive solely on the currency of relevance and visibility, vanishing into obscurity once forgotten. This concept drives the city's fervent dedication to entertainment, guiding players to explore diverse locales such as Dovebrook, Graphia Academy, and the cryptic Tavern of Elation. Furthermore, the update hints at deepening involvement from prominent factions like the IPC, the Masked Fools, the Xianzhou Alliance, and the Stellaron Hunters.
New Combat Mechanics and Character Debut
Version 4.0 introduces an innovative combat mechanic centered around the Path of Elation. Battle encounters now generate "Punchlines," triggering the Aha Instant phase, where Elation characters unleash a series of connected abilities. Following this phase, characters receive distinct buffs labeled "Certified Bangers," injecting depth into team strategies and gameplay dynamics.
Accompanying this update are two fresh 5-star characters:
Yao Guang, a Physical Elation character aligned with the Xianzhou Alliance, revolves around battlefield manipulation using divination-based tactics to control Punchlines and trigger extra Aha Instants.Sparxie, a Fire Elation character and Planarcadia's illustrious streamer, leverages livestream-themed mechanics where Skill Points translate into "Gifts," converting audience engagement into potent damage output.
Exciting Additions and Rewards
For players diving into the action post-launch, a 20-pull reward awaits alongside a complimentary outfit for Ruan Mei and additional Stellar Jade rewards from limited-time events. Furthermore, the update heralds new activities like card-centric conflicts in Cosmicon Collective, management gameplay in Furbobo Weekly, and expansions in both Currency Wars and the Divergent Universe modes.
Prepare for the highly-anticipated release of Honkai: Star Rail Version 4.0 on various platforms including PC, iOS, Android, PS5, and the Epic Games Store on February 13.
