Summary
A recentHonkai: Star Railleak has revealed a set of buffs that will affect four popular characters in the upcoming update 3.4. Although the current update,Honkai: Star RailVersion 3.3, launched just a few days ago, leaks have already begun hinting at what the next version might introduce.
While new character additions are typically the main focus of each update, HoYoverse has confirmed that upcoming versions will also focus on improving older characters. For quite some time, one ofHonkai: Star Rail’s ongoing issues has been power creep, with older units often struggling to stay relevant in the evolving meta.
Back inHonkai: Star Railupdate 3.0, HoYoverse confirmed that older characters would receive substantial buffs in future updates to compensate for the fact that newer units tend to have stronger, more complex kits. The Special Program for Version 3.2 revealed that four characters - Silver Wolf, Blade, Kafka, and Jingliu - are set to receive buffs in update 3.4. With the official arrival of update 3.3 to the live servers, the beta phase for 3.4 also got released, andleakshave now begun revealing more credible details about these changes.
Overall, players seem pleased with the leaked buffs, claiming they will significantly improve each character’s standing inHonkai: Star Rail’s current meta. Some fans have noted that characters like Silver Wolf might now be viable in alternative roles, such as CRIT DPS. Many agree that Kafka will likely benefit the most, potentially making her one of the top picks for DoT-based team compositions.
On the other hand, Blade may have received the least impactful changes, with some players feeling his buffs are underwhelming compared to the others. That said, these changes should be taken with a grain of salt, asHonkai: Star Railupdate 3.4is still at least 5–6 weeks away, giving HoYoverse plenty of time to make further adjustments.
