In Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.2, the Trailblazers' adventure continues into a mysterious and dangerous new region. This update will bring you an immersive world, new characters with unique mechanics, and a series of special events.
Story and trailer
Version 3.2 which is titled "Through the Petals in the Land of Repose" will take the Trailblazers and Chrysos Heir Castorice to Styxia-a crumbling city buried in the Sea of Souls. The region is filled with giant dragon bones and roaming spirits, with clues to the past scattered through the stories of the spirits.
The adventure is guided by an ancient lantern, leading players to uncover the truth about Titans and draconic catastrophes. However, a major threat arises when the team faces Pollux, a leviathan that sleeps in the River of Souls. This enemy has a challenging HP manipulation mechanic.
Internal conflicts are also heating up. The Okhema Council of Elders plans to stop Flame-Chase Journey through voting, while an inanimate scientist named Anaxa secretly allied with them, complicating the Trailblazers' journey.
New Characters
Two new 5-star characters arrive in this update, expanding the strategy options in combat.
Castorice
Castorice (Remembrance) is the daughter of River of Souls who summons Netherwing, a dragon formed from memories and divine authority. Her ultimate summons Netherwing which burns Castorice's HP to attack all enemies. While active, Netherwing attacks alongside Castorice, absorbing HP from wounded allies and powering up attacks. When off the field, Netherwing explodes, dealing additional damage and healing the team.
Castorice has a unique survival ability. If any allies should fall, they go into a near-death state and can be saved if certain conditions are met. This effect remains active even if Castorice is not on the team.
Anaxa
Anaxa (Erudition) is a member of the Seven Sages of the Grove of Epiphany and the founder of Nousporism. She randomly grants Weakness to enemies, and when she reaches a certain limit, she can activate Qualitative Disclosure to increase damage and trigger follow-up Skill Attacks without consuming Skill Points. His Ultimate gives a Sublimation effect and instantly adds 7 Weakness to all enemies.
