I've just got my hands on some juicy leaks about the upcoming Honkai: Star Rail 3.1 update, and let me tell you, it's looking pretty good for F2P players like myself. According to reliable sources, we're looking at approximately 13,355 Stellar Jade and 20 Star Rail Special Passes up for grabs in the next patch. That translates to 103 pulls total, which should be enough to hit pity and secure at least one 5-star character.

Version 3.1 is set to drop on February 26, 2025, and will run through April 8, continuing the Amphoreus storyline we've been following. While it might not be as groundbreaking as the current 3.0 update, it's still packed with content, including the confirmed releases of 5-star Amphoreus characters Mydei and Tribbie.

Breaking Down the Numbers

I've been analyzing the leaks from the Version 3.1 beta tests, and here's where all that Stellar Jade is coming from:

  • Daily Training: 2,520 Stellar Jade (if you don't miss a day)

  • The Awooo Firm event: Up to 1,000 Stellar Jade

  • Holy City Appraisals: Around 500 Stellar Jade

  • End-game content (Memory of Chaos, Pure Fiction, Apocalyptic Shadow): 2,400 Stellar Jade

  • Divergent Universe: Protean Hero: 3,100 Stellar Jade plus 4 regular Star Rail Passes

It's worth noting that this amount is slightly lower than what we got in Version 3.0, which offered around 110 premium pulls. Still, 103 pulls is nothing to sneeze at!

Premium Options Boost Your Chances

For those willing to spend a bit, the Express Supply Pass will add another 3,780 Stellar Jade to your stash, bringing the total to 17,135 (or 127 pulls). Add the premium Nameless Glory battle pass, and you're looking at 135 pulls in total.

I've been playing Honkai: Star Rail since launch, and I can tell you that having these calculations in advance is incredibly helpful for planning your pulling strategy. If you're eyeing either Mydei or Tribbie, now's the time to start saving.

New Content to Explore

The update isn't just about new characters. We're also getting:

  1. New map areas for exploration (worth about 500 Stellar Jade)

  2. New story missions (around 400 Stellar Jade)

  3. Updates to the Tidal Bounty progression system (150 Stellar Jade)

  4. New Achievements (355 Stellar Jade)

I'm particularly excited about the Divergent Universe update. The current version has been getting a bit stale for me, so fresh content there is very welcome. Plus, with 3,100 Stellar Jade on the line, it's definitely worth investing time into.

The shop resets in March and April will also let us purchase up to 10 Star Rail Special Passes and 10 regular Star Rail Passes. Don't forget to save your resources for these!

Events and Free Characters

There's also talk about an event that might give away a free character, though rumors suggest the selection might be disappointing. As a veteran player, I'm not getting my hopes up too high—HoYoverse tends to be conservative with their free 5-stars.

The Simulated Universe will see six resets during Version 3.1, offering 1,350 Stellar Jade and four Star Rail Passes if you max out your weekly progression. For dedicated players like myself, this is essentially free currency.

My Thoughts on Version 3.1

As someone who's been through every update since launch, I think Version 3.1 looks solid but not revolutionary. The Stellar Jade count is generous enough to guarantee a 5-star, which is the minimum I expect from a six-week patch.

What I'm really curious about is how the new characters will fit into the meta. Will Mydei or Tribbie be must-pulls, or can we safely skip them if we're saving for future characters? The beta test leaks suggest they're strong, but I'll reserve judgment until I can test them myself.

One thing I've learned from playing gacha games for years is that these calculations can change. HoYoverse has been known to adjust rewards just before patch release, so while 13,355 Stellar Jade is the current estimate, don't be surprised if the actual number differs slightly.

What You Should Do Now

If you're targeting either of the new 5-stars, start saving immediately. With 103 pulls available in 3.1, you'll want to enter the update with at least 80-90 pulls saved to guarantee getting what you want.

For newer players, focus on the content that gives the most Stellar Jade for the least effort—Daily Training, events, and exploration. The end-game content like Memory of Chaos requires well-built teams, so that might not be accessible to everyone.

Don't forget to tune in for the Version 3.2 livestream during 3.1, which should give us another 300 Stellar Jade through redemption codes!

Are you planning to pull for Mydei or Tribbie? Or are you saving for a future character? Jump into the game now and start preparing—Version 3.1 is just around the corner, and those Stellar Jades won't farm themselves! 🚀✨
