by

Story Highlights

  • The Dahlia debuts as a 5-Star Nihility unit, helping you recover Penacony’s lost memories.
  • Version 3.8 introduces events like The Chrysos Awoo Championship and Remnants of Twilight, new map, and more.
  • Version 3.8 will run for a special period of about eight weeks, unlike regular versions.

HoYoverse is preparing to launch Version 3.8 of Honkai: Star Rail, called “Memories are the Prelude to Dreams,” very soon. This update will introduce new secrets, a new 5-star character, temporary events, and other exciting content for players.

Main Story Progression: Memories are the Prelude to Dreams

Penacony, known as the Land of Dreams, is a popular destination for travelers seeking enjoyment and festivities. The Astral Express has a history of assisting people during the Charmony Festival, helping them regain control when lost in their dreams. However, despite the cheerful atmosphere, Penacony holds many unanswered questions and hidden secrets.

After the climactic battle with Amphoreus, a character named Constance, also known as The Dahlia, arrives with a surprising discovery: your memories are fragmented, and important parts are missing. With her help, you’ll explore the history of Penacony to uncover the complete truth.

Firefly’s perspective and the Dream of Gnawing Oak Map

This update also lets you experience the story through Firefly’s eyes. You’ll finally learn what brought her into the dream world, how she connected with the other characters, and what challenges she’s facing internally.

Her recovered memories show where the Family holds its power and reveal the location of the Dream of Gnawing Oak on a map. Additionally, she’ll eventually reconnect with a friend from her time serving as a Glamoth Iron Cavalry Knight.

New Playable Character in HSR Version 3.8

The Dahlia

Dahlia is a powerful 5-Star support character in Penacony’s story, known for her ability to enhance team damage. She’s especially effective when used with characters who focus on dealing Break Damage. Dahlia can create an area that allows her teammates to inflict extra damage—Super Break DMG—even before an enemy’s weaknesses are exposed.

And get this – I can also choose to become her Dance Partner! When we’re linked like that, both of us do extra Super Break Damage every time we attack. Honestly, her Ultimate is awesome. It spreads the weakness of my Dance Partner to all the enemies, which makes weakening them with Toughness Reduction way more effective. It’s a game changer!

New Events

We’re excited to introduce a new event, the Chrysos Awoo Championship! In this event, you’ll become a chimera trainer, raising and battling cute chimeras to create a powerful team and compete for the championship.

In addition to the new event, you can enjoy the Remnants of Twilight event, which offers many challenging battles that will test your strategy. Don’t miss the Gift of Odyssey event either – you can earn rewards simply by logging in for a total of 7 days through the Travel Log.

Final Thoughts

Version 3.8 is here with plenty to enjoy, including a strong new 5-star character, The Dahlia, and a unique event where you can train chimeras. There’s also a memory-hunting adventure in Penacony! I’m not sure if I’ll be adding The Dahlia to my team, but I’m definitely checking out both events.
