Release Date, New Characters, Banners & Livestream Codes

This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.

All the details about the Honkai: Star Rail 3.6 update have been revealed by developer HoYoverse, including its release date, new characters, banner structure, and livestream codes. At the moment, players are in the final stages of Version 3.5, an important patch that added Hysilens and Cerydra to Honkai: Star Rail, though in current Phase 2 banners, only Cerydra can be obtained.

The game is getting ready to move into Version 3.6, and a lot of information about the upcoming patch was already known thanks to the ongoing beta tests. This includes details about Evernight’s and Dan Heng: Permansor Terrae’s gameplay kits, as well as some story developments. All of this was now confirmed during the Honkai: Star Rail 3.6 livestream, which detailed the contents for the upcoming patch.

Honkai: Star Rail 3.6 – Release Date

The Next Update Arrives On September 24

HoYoverse has confirmed the release date for Version 3.6, which was previously speculated based on the game’s regular six-week schedule and its common release on Wednesdays (Tuesday nights in the United States). Honkai: Star Rail 3.6 will be released on September 24 across all platforms on which the game is available.

With the confirmation, it’s highly unlikely that the update will be postponed in any way. Usually, when a delay is in order, HoYoverse tends to push the respective livestream beyond when it should usually happen. As such, you will soon be able to pre-download some parts of the patch and get ready for the new update in late September.

Honkai: Star Rail 3.6 – New Characters & Banners

Evernight & Permansor Terrae Make Their Debut

One of the central aspects of the livestream was the confirmation of the previously leaked Honkai: Star Rail 3.6 character banners, as well as the details about the new playable units. The Phase 1 banners will be composed of Evernight as well as a The Herta rerun. Evernight is a new 5-star Ice character on the Path of the Remembrance.

Evernight’s kit in Honkai: Star Rail 3.6 allows her to buff allies’ Memosprites CRIT DMG. She is also a specialist in dealing damage herself as an HP-scaler. As such, Evernight can either work as a support and sub-DPS for Remembrance teams or as a main DPS herself. This Phase will also see The Herta’s rerun in the game.

The Herta is arguably one of the best DPS characters in the game. She deals a load of damage that gradually increases based on her targets. She doesn’t have any special synergy with Evernight. Previously, the leaks had reported that Castorice, who would have the best synergy with Evernight, would make her first rerun, though that didn’t prove to be true.

Meanwhile, Phase 2 will be composed of Dan Heng: Permansor Terrae and Anaxa banners. Dan Heng’s new form will be a 5-star Physical character following the Path of the Preservation. Permansor Terrae in Honkai: Star Rail will be a specialist in shielding his allies, while also dealing ATK-scaling DMG.

Permansor Terrae will be capable of using follow-up attacks with his Souldragon. Anaxa will have his first rerun banner in Version 3.6. Anaxa is also a powerful DPS character capable of inflicting new Weaknesses on enemies. Like The Herta with Evernight, Anaxa does not have as much synergy with Permansor Terrae, but they are a good match.

Overall, both Permansor Terrae and Anaxa are more universal characters that can work alongside a larger variety of characters. Meanwhile, Evernight is best when paired with Remembrance DPS characters or used as a hypercarry unit, and The Herta has a very specific type of supporting team comp to have her work.

Honkai: Star Rail 3.6 – Story Updates, Events, & More

The Story Quests Will Connect To The Final Amphoreus Act

In terms of story content, Version 3.6 will be a massive update, as it is the one that will serve as a bridge to the final Amphoreus story act in Version 3.7. This update will come with a series of revelations, including more details about Evernight’s full identity, Permansor Terrae’s role as a Chrysos Heir, as well as Cyrene in Honkai: Star Rail as an ally to the Nameless.

Overall, there will be a lot of content to go through in Version 3.6, both in terms of story and events, as well as brand-new gameplay possibilities. Evernight and Permansor Terrae are both exciting additions to the roster, and the rerun banners are great opportunities for you to enhance your options with characters who have proven to be powerful DPS units. It’s one of the best patches in Honkai: Star Rail in some time.
