With the recent announcement of version 2.3, HoYoverse has revealed that Honkai Star Rail will not feature any new four-star characters. Instead, two new five-star characters – Firefly and Jade – will debut in the game as part of the next update.

However, the Honkai Star Rail community is not happy with this direction, with numerous players expressing their disappointment over the lack of new four-star characters. On Reddit, users have pointed out that this is the third consecutive update without a new four-star character, leading to concerns that developers are prioritizing five-star characters and neglecting lower-tier characters.
Five-star characters are undeniably powerful and are often considered the best in Honkai Star Rail. However, many players argue that neglecting other levels is not sustainable in the long run. They claim that this hinders the creation of well-balanced teams, which is a crucial aspect of the gameplay.
Lately we’ve seen new faces like Kirara, Lynette, Freminet, Chevreuse, Charlotte, Gaming, and Sethos, but only a few have really mattered to the story. HoYoverse would do well for fans to focus on creating fewer new characters that are more meaningful and better integrated into the game.
