Honkai: Star Rail version 4.1, titled "Offering an Out-of-Control Dawn," will continue to take place in Planarcadia, where the Astral Fleet is invited to participate in a massive event called Star Rail FES.

Star Rail FES recreates the journey of the Astral Fleet.

After winning the Mask to participate in the Moonlight Game and defeating streamer Sparxie in the previous chapter, the Explorer became the center of attention in Planarcadia. To mark the occasion, CEO Pearl partnered with the Astral Fleet to host the Star Rail FES exhibition.

This festival is like a giant 'fan event' for the journey of discovery. The exhibition is divided into three main areas, including:

  • Belobog area
  • Xianzhou Luofu area
  • Penacony area

The people of Planarcadia can experience the highlights of the journey through the 2D Space JUMP system. Players can see epic reenactments such as the Battle of Cocolia, the confrontation with Phantylia at Xianzhou Luofu, or the attack on Septimus during Robin's performance.

Additionally, players can explore the Pearluxe Tower, the headquarters of the Pearluxe corporation. This location showcases a King Pom Pom Alloy model and offers various activities related to mechs.

Ashveil becomes the new 5-star character.

The central character of this version is Ashveil , the famous detective who appeared in the Planarcadia storyline. Although often appearing carefree and somewhat lazy, Ashveil will reveal a serious side when investigating a case in Dovebrook District and uncovering the conspiracy behind the events in Planarcadia.

Ashveil is a 5-star character belonging to the Hunter's Fate with the Lightning attribute. In combat, he can use his Secret Technique to stun enemies before engaging. When the battle begins, Ashveil increases Critical Damage for the entire team and marks a target as a "Delicacy".

While this target remains on the battlefield, the enemy's defenses are weakened. Ashveil and his allies can continuously pursue this target using Follow-Up Attack, accumulating Greed stacks to enhance their pursuit capabilities. After eliminating the target, Ashveil continues to deal damage to other enemies, maintaining constant attack pressure throughout the battle.
