Version 3.6 of Honkai: Star Rail introduces new heroes, relics, events, and usability enhancements designed to impact your everyday gameplay in the popular RPG. Below is a focused breakdown of the changes that most trailblazers will care about, such as pull decisions, event timing, system improvements, and what to prioritize early.

New Heroes & Banner Rotation

This update brings two new five‑star characters that join the Star Rail character roster and adjusts the banner lineup for both phases:

• Evernight (5-star, Ice, Remembrance) debuts in Phase 1’s “Remembrance of None” banner. Her kit emphasizes synergy with her memosprite, offering follow-up attacks and buffs tied to HP consumption.

• Dan Heng – Permansor Terrae (5-star, Physical, Preservation) appears in Phase 2’s “Slay Until Evil Ends”. His gameplay rewards taking calculated risks—losing HP strengthens him, and he also boasts self‑healing options.

Alongside these new additions, the patch reruns two popular heroes: The Herta in Phase 1 and Anaxa in Phase 2. The light cone warps rotate as well, with To Evernight’s Stars and Though Worlds Apart available via Brilliant Fixation warps in respective phases.

Relics, Maps & Mission Content

Relic sets and new maps play a critical role in how you build your roster post‑update. Two new relic sets—World‑Remaking Deliverer and Self‑Enshrouded Recluse—bring interesting synergies that shake up team building, particularly around shield and memosprite-based strategies.

Self-Enshrouded Recluse is all about maximizing shield value and giving a passive CRIT DMG boost to allies. Its 2-piece bonus increases Shield Effect by 10%, which is already useful for characters focused on sustain or protection. The full 4-piece set goes a step further: it not only enhances Shield Effect by another 12%, but also gives any ally under the wearer’s shield a 15% boost to their CRIT DMG. This makes it ideal for support units who want to amplify the damage potential of their DPS teammates while keeping them protected.

World-Remaking Deliverer, on the other hand, centers around boosting damage and health when the wearer’s memosprite is active. The 2-piece bonus is a straightforward 8% increase to CRIT DMG. However, the full 4-piece bonus adds strategic depth—after using a Basic ATK or Skill, if the memosprite is present, the wearer and the memosprite gain 24% Max HP, and all allies receive a 15% DMG boost until the next Basic ATK or Skill. This makes it perfect for units like Evernight who rely on fielded summons or constructs and rotate abilities to keep buffs active.

Both sets drop in new domains located in the recently unlocked areas: Radiant Scarwood and Universal Matrix: Great Tomb of the Nameless Titan. These new locations not only support relic farming but also integrate into ongoing story and mission content.

Trailblaze missions also expand, with new chapters like Back to Earth in Evernight providing narrative development, gameplay rewards, and unlock conditions for the patch’s featured characters and relics. If you’re diving in right away, prioritize unlocking these sets to prepare your team for future content.

Events & Player Activities

Version 3.6 includes several limited-time events rolled out across its duration. Notables include:

• Gift of Odyssey
• Nice Weather for Dromases
• Colorful Mayhem
• Try‑Not‑To‑Laugh Challenge
• Pact of Permansor Terrae
• Planar Fissure
• Realm of the Strange

Each event brings unique mechanics, rewards, and a chance to obtain or claim new characters. Phase 2’s Pact of Permansor Terrae in particular may let eligible players claim the new hero under certain conditions. There’s also the return of Anomaly Arbitration, adding a more demanding challenge for seasoned players eager to flex their strongest teams.

System Features & Quality-of-Life Enhancements

Some of the most appreciated changes in 3.6 make the game more comfortable to play every day. These include:

Before exploring them, note that such changes don’t shift your power directly—but they reduce friction.

• Skip Dialogue and Story Summary support expanded into Continuance, Companion Missions, and Adventure Missions
• Interference Key: consume one to block a Subsidiary stat from being upgraded when rerolling relics
• Recommended Line-Up Hint: suggests team combos based on your existing roster
• Batch unlock / undiscard for relics, enhanced filtering, and UI tweaks to inventory, avatar frames, and shop interfaces
• The addition of the Gift of Stardust shop, allowing redemption of cosmetics, avatar frames, and other exchange items using a new currency
• Renaming of “Build Guide” to “Character Guide” and introduction of a new overview page that suggests compatible teammate combinations

These refinements aim to reduce repetitive tasks, improve usability, and make advanced features more accessible—even for casual players.

Balance Fixes & Miscellaneous

Patch 3.6 includes a number of corrections and minor balance changes:

• Auto‑battle target logic was refined so characters behave more sensibly in certain situations.
• UI and text inconsistencies were addressed across multiple languages, dialogue lines, and skill descriptions.
• Some characters and enemies received tweaks to their behaviors or AI, especially in edge cases where abnormal interactions were previously possible.

These fixes don’t necessarily shift the meta or affect any Honkai: Star Rail tier lists, but help the game feel smoother and more predictable.

Version 3.6 is full of meaningful updates—new heroes, relics, events, and usability fixes—that give both returning and long-term players reasons to invest time again. To make the experience even better, play Honkai: Star Rail on PC with BlueStacks. From smoother performance and quicker account switching to better visuals and multi‑instance grinding, it’s the best way to enjoy everything this patch offers. Dive in, build new teams, and explore your limits.
