5 major announcements expected from Honkai Star Rail 3.1 livestream

1) Character showcase

The Honkai Star Rail drip 3.1 drip marketing campaign revealed Tribbie and Mydei confirming their playable debut for the feature. The upcoming telecast is expected to showcase the gameplay of these two 5-star units.

So far, Tribbie has been confirmed to be a Harmony character from the Quantum roster. As such, her kit will comprise buffs that could enhance the combat potential of allies. Leaks online have claimed that she will be an HP-scaling character with the ability to launch follow-up attacks.

In contrast, Mydei treads on the Destruction Path, wielding the Imaginary element. He will take on the role of a DPS, and his abilities are expected to inflict damage on multiple targets. His abilities are expected to trade maximum health for damage.

The Honkai Star Rail 3.1 update will likely see some changes to the Divergent Universe, per leaks from HomDGCat. It appears that HoYoverse will remove the blessing of Preservation and Abundance Path, and add Harmony instead to leverage Break teams.

Subsequently, bosses will be adjusted to balance out the overall gameplay. To be precise, their extra DMG reduction will be removed. Additionally, buffs from Remembrance and Destruction Path will be adjusted to make them more universal.

Players can also expect to see new bosses in the Divergent Universe in version 3.1. If the leaks are true, the livestream hosts will announce the specified changes.

4) New Planar Ornaments

The upcoming livestream event is expected to announce two new Planar Ornaments for Honkai Star Rail 3.1. Based on leaks from Hakush.in, a renowned third-party webpage, the equipment will be catered towards future characters.

Here are the Planar Ornaments effects:

Bone Collection's Serene Demesne: Increases the wearer's Max HP. Additionally, the character and their memosprite gain CRIT DMG when their health exceeds a certain threshold.
Giant Tree of Rapt Brooding: Boosts the equipping character's SPD. The wearer and their memosprite's Outgoing Healing will be increased based on their SPD.
