Sparxie
- Rarity: 5-star
- Path: Elation
- Element: Fire
- Release: 4.0
Sparxie is the first confirmed character for Honkai Star Rail 4.0 banner. She is either an alter ego of Sparkle or related to her. Sparxie will play a major role in Honkai Star Rail Planarcadia’s story. She is also one of the first Elation characters in Honkai Star Rail.
Yao Guang
- Rarity: 5-star
- Path: Elation
- Element: Physical
- Release: 4.0
Yao Guang has also been confirmed for Honkai Star Rail 4.0. She will be on the banners alongside Sparxie and will also be from the new Elation path. She is one of the seven Arbiter-Generals and is known as the Seer Strategist of Xianzhou. Yao Guang is also an Elation support, so she will be important for the Elation meta in 4.x.
Ashveil
- Rarity: 5-star
- Path: Hunt
- Element: Unknown
- Expected Release: 4.1
Ashveil, aka La Mancha, is the leader of the Galaxy Rangers in Honkai Star Rail. Being the leader of Galaxy Rangers, we can at least confirm that Ashveil will follow the Hunt path. There is not much information about him so far, but he will appear in Honkai Star Rail 4.0 and has been leaked to be the sole 5-star character in version 4.1.
Nihilux
- Rarity: 5-star
- Path: Unknown
- Element: Unknown
- Expected Release: 4.2
Nihilux is a completely new character revealed to be in Honkai Star Rail Planarcadia. She is going to be a 5-star character and is expected to release in version 4.2. Previously, she was rumored to be Pearl from the IPC, and there is still a possibility for that to happen. But until further confirmation, we have to assume that Pearl won’t be releasing in 4.x.
Elation Silver Wolf
- Rarity: 5-star
- Path: Elation
- Element: Unknown
- Expected Release: 4.2
Silver Wolf is our beloved member in the Stellaron Hunters. She will be a big part of the Planarcadia storyline, even getting a completely new playable form. She has now been confirmed to have new form in 4.x. According to recent leaks, her new playable form will follow the path of Elation.
Evanescia
- Rarity: 5-star
- Path: Unknown
- Element: Ice
- Expected Release: 4.3
Evanescia has finally been revealed by Hoyoverse, and there is no doubt that she is going to be the Yae Sakura EXPY we have all been waiting for in Honkai Star Rail. All the leaks hint her to hold similar importance as Firefly did in Penacony.
Blade’s New Form
- Rarity: 5-star
- Path: Unknown
- Element: Ice
- Expected Release: 4.3
Blade, the broody Stellaron Hunter we all came to like in the Xianzhou arc, will also get a new form in 4.x. His new form’s element has been leaked to be Ice, and we can expect him to be released in either Honkai Star Rail 4.3 or 4.4.
Himeko’s New Form
- Rarity: 5-star
- Path: Unknown
- Element: Fire
- Expected Release: 4.4
Finally, Himeko will also have a new form in Honkai Star Rail 4.x. She is the most important character in the Astral Express, but her current kit doesn’t do her justice at all. With Himeko finally getting a new form that is deserving of her calibre, we can finally see her lead the Astral Express in the fight against the Destruction.
Other than these characters, we also have rumors about Robin and Aventurine’s new forms. But this information came from questionable leaks, so we have only decided to make a small number of them here. Once more information, we will start adding them to the main list.
So, that’s everything we currently know about all the upcoming Honkai Star Rail 4.x Planarcadia characters. Tell us about your opinion on the characters for HSR 4.x in the comment section.
