Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.6: Details and Free 5-Star

The next update for Honkai: Star Rail, titled “Back to Earth in Evernight,” arrives on September 24th. This update brings the popular sci-fi Gacha RPG back to the enigmatic planet Amphoreus. Developed by HoYoverse and launched in 2023 on PC, mobile, and PlayStation, the turn-based game receives a major update approximately every six weeks. Version 3.6 maintains this schedule, offering players a new form of Dan Heng, one of the game’s most beloved characters, for free, for a limited time.

Beyond this major offering, the update introduces two new 5-star characters, a more challenging endgame experience, and several limited-time events, promising to keep experienced players engaged until the anticipated 4.0 update. Here’s a breakdown of the key features:

• Free 5-Star Dan Heng • Permansor Terrae: Players at Trailblaze Level 3 or higher can obtain the new Permanence-path version of Dan Heng simply by logging in before Version 4.0 is released.
• Evernight Joins the Crew: Evernight, a 5-star Ice unit following the Path of Remembrance, joins the roster. She battles alongside her memosprite companion, Evey, specializing in boosting teamwide CRIT DMG and delivering delayed AoE bursts.
• Anomaly Arbitration: This is a challenging four-stage trial that demands three distinct teams. Successfully completing it rewards players with the new “Interference Key” currency and other valuable prizes.
• Colorful Mayhem and Nice Weather for Dromases Events: Get ready for seasonal mini-games that blend multiplayer competition with a creature-raising aspect.
• Main Story Replay: Players can now revisit completed Trailblaze and Companion missions, allowing both newcomers and lore enthusiasts to re-experience cutscenes without restarting the game.

The narrative on Amphoreus intensifies as Evernight’s “Era Nova” ideology clashes with the Astral Express crew’s mission. The emergence of Dan Heng’s new Souldragon powers further solidifies his connection to the lore, hinting at HoYoverse positioning him as a vital figure in the upcoming chapters.

For veteran players, the free Dan Heng character and the new endgame content should be good reasons to dive back in. Newcomers gain immediate access to a powerful character, providing a boost to their accounts right from the start.
