Hoyoverse: Star Rail Version 3.4: A Fantasy Adventure Across the Stars
Explorers, are you ready to set sail? Hoyoverse: Star Rail’s version 3.4 is about to take us on a brand-new journey through the stars! In this vast universe, there are new characters making their dazzling debuts, classic IP crossovers, and countless surprises and discoveries. Let’s dive into the exciting details of this update together!
First off, let’s tackle the question on everyone’s mind: the release date of version 3.4. Based on previous update patterns, this version is expected to officially launch on Wednesday, July 2, 2025. The official team will also reveal more detailed information during a special program in mid-June. Don’t forget to set your alarms early and catch this celestial rendezvous!
Next, let’s unlock the treasure map of the gacha pool. The 3.4 version’s gacha content is incredibly rich, featuring the debut of new characters and the return of many fan-favorite roles.
First up is the new character Bai E. This 5-star Physical Destruction Path Main C character is no slouch. His combat mechanics are uniquely designed, relying not on energy release from his ultimate skill but on accumulating layers of “Destruction” to cast his ultimate. Once the destruction layers reach a specific value, Bai E enters “Realm” mode, where he becomes the only one on the field. During this state, he gains self-enhancement effects and can use three unique skills. After a fixed number of turns, he exits the realm and deals damage evenly to all enemies. This combat rhythm requires teammates to provide buffs for him outside the realm to help him accumulate destruction layers faster, allowing him to unleash greater burst damage at critical moments.
If you’re a fan of the Fate series, this crossover is a dream come true. The 3.4 version will feature an independent crossover gacha pool with Fate/stay night, including two new characters: Saber and Archer. This crossover gacha pool has no fixed end date, and there are no increased probabilities for 4-star characters, giving players more flexibility in planning their gacha strategy.
Saber is a 5-star Wind Destruction Path Main C character with a combat style full of burst potential. Her mechanics revolve around using her ultimate skill as much as possible to deal damage. Every time a teammate casts an ultimate, Saber not only gains energy but also accumulates “Core Resonance” layers, which significantly boost her damage output. Her combat style emphasizes using skills, enhancing normal attacks, and accumulating core resonance through teammates’ ultimates to improve overall damage efficiency.
Archer, on the other hand, is a 5-star Quantum Exploration Path Main C character with equally engaging combat mechanics. He can deal high burst damage by continuously casting skills. As long as his skill points are at least 2 or he hasn’t used his skills consecutively five times, he can continue casting skills. Additionally, every time he uses his ultimate, he gains 2 layers of “Charge,” and every time a teammate attacks an enemy, these charges trigger a follow-up attack and restore 1 skill point. His combat core revolves around casting skills as many times as possible in a single turn, so teammates should provide buffs like skill point recovery or damage amplification before his turn to maximize his damage potential.
In addition to new character debuts, the 3.4 version’s gacha pool also brings back several familiar characters. The first half of the gacha pool will feature the return of fan favorites like Xi Bao, Hanabi, and

Phoebe： The Crescendo of Tide and the Guiding Light of Harm’s Symphony
In the resonant sea breeze: Phoebe’s whispers and light shadows
When the sea breeze caresses the ears, carrying distant calls, Phoebe’s figure is like the dawn glow at the horizon of sea and sky, gentle yet resolute. She is the first limited continuous damage resonator in the resonant tides, with states of absolution and confession that ebb and flow like the tides, allowing her damage to layer like waves. Absolution is the passion and determination at the rising tide; confession, the contemplation and anticipation at the falling tide. The effect of weakness propagation clings to enemies like seaweed, and as time passes, the waves of damage crash against the enemy’s shores time and again. Phoebe can be the main output or the sub-output of the team, her presence as essential as the sea breeze.
Phoebe’s skills are like the rhythms of the ocean, with resonance circuits being the most important, followed by resonance releases, while skills and variant skills are like details in the waves, embellishing the entire symphony of damage. Ordinary attacks are the foundation but, like foam in the waves, can also stir up towering waves when accumulated.
In weapon selection, Phoebe is like choosing the most suitable note in the morning light. Luminous Hymn’s light resonance is like the rising morning star, bringing hope and brightness. Stringmaster’s puppet strings are like the harp strings under the moonlight, delightful to the heart. Rime-Draped Sprouts’ jade branches and ice gauze are like morning dew, crystal clear. Cosmic Ripples’ ripple recordings are like ripples spreading across the water surface, advancing layer by layer. These weapon choices are all to make Phoebe’s damage as warm and powerful as sunlight.
The selection of “voice relics” is like dressing Phoebe in the most suitable attire. The Eternal Light set is like eternal radiance, never-ending warmth. The Star Purification set is like stars in the night sky, shining with hopeful light. The combination set for beginners is like the first sunrise, gentle and full of vitality. The choice of main “voice relics” is like selecting the most beautiful notes for Phoebe, making her damage as perfect as a symphony.
In the selection of “voice relic” effects, critical hit rate and critical damage are like ripples in the waves, while propagation damage and attack power are like the gentleness in the sea breeze, and resonance efficiency is like the rhythm in the waves. All these choices are to make Phoebe’s damage as natural as the tides.
Team composition is like choosing the most harmonious melody for Phoebe. A Phoebe sub-C team is like a duet under the moonlight, with Phoebe and Zanni’s collaboration resembling the symphony of tides and sea breeze. A Phoebe main-C team is like a solo under the sunlight, with Phoebe and Diffusion • Wanderer, or Summer Void, collaborating like the fusion of waves and the ocean sky. A super main-C team is like the ensemble of all instruments, with Phoebe and Moltfi, Rokuko, and Sanka collaborating like the joyous song of all life in the ocean.
In this resonant ocean, Phoebe is like an ever-burning lighthouse, her light guiding the direction of every player. May you find your own light in this ocean and, together with Phoebe, compose your own legend. -
Ice Element Core Aikefei’s Low Temperature Assistance
Soul of Ice and Snow: Ai Kefei’s Low-Temperature Cooking
On this continent covered in ice and snow, Ai Kefei is like a spirited figure from the extremely cold land. Her arrival heralds the rise of the ice element. This 5-star ice element character, although appearing as a sub-C, has shown unparalleled talent in the field of support. Her talent can reduce the enemy’s water and ice resistance according to the number of water and ice elements in the team. This ability makes her an indispensable existence in the ice and water element team.
Ai Kefei’s Profile
Rarity: 5★
Eye of God: Ice Element
Weapon: Long-handled Weapon
Attribute Bonus: Critical Hit Rate +19.2%
Position: Sub-C & Support
In this cold world, Ai Kefei holds a long-handled weapon and releases the power of the ice element. Her elemental combat skill “Low-Temperature Cooking” is like the dew in the morning, which is cold but contains the hope of life; and the elemental burst “Flower Knife Technique” is like the warm sun in winter, bringing warm treatment to the team. The most unique passive talent makes her a key auxiliary role in the current game: when there are 1/2/3/4 water or ice elements in the team, Ai Kefei will reduce the water and ice resistance of any enemy hit by her elemental combat skills or elemental burst by 5%/10%/15%/55%. This talent makes her more important in the ice and water element team.
Talent priority
On Ai Kefei’s growth path, the choice of talent is crucial. She is like a spirit of ice and snow, and needs to find her own light in the cold.
Elemental combat skills: low temperature cooking ★★★★★
As a sub-C, most of Ai Kefei’s damage comes from her elemental combat skills, which is the place of her soul and the meaning of her existence. Therefore, this talent needs to be cultivated first, so that she can shine the most dazzling light in the cold.
Elemental burst: flower knife technique ★★★★
Her elemental burst is like the source of life, bringing vital healing ability to the team. The importance of this talent is second only to the elemental combat skills, and it needs to be carefully cultivated so that she can become a warm harbor for the team in the cold winter.
Normal Attack: Kitchen Skills ★
Normal attack is her most basic existence. Although it is not as dazzling as elemental combat skills and burst, it is the foundation of her strength. You can polish it carefully after other talents reach a certain level.
Best Weapon
In this snow-covered wilderness, Aikefei needs a weapon that can complement her ice element. Her weapon selection needs to take into account both output and elemental charging efficiency, allowing her to release powerful damage in battle and use her elemental burst frequently.
Best Choice: Fragrance Musician (5★)
This exclusive weapon is like an icy flute, playing the melody of the spirit of ice and snow. Its basic attack power reaches 608, and the bonus attribute is +Critical Damage 66.2%. At R1, the attack power increases by 12%; when Aikefei is in the background of the team, the attack power increases by an additional 12%. After treatment, Aikefei and the treated character will gain the “Sweet Echo” effect, increasing the attack power by 32% for 3 seconds. Even when Akifi is in the background of the team, the above effects can still be triggered. This weapon allows Akifi to shine brightly in the cold.
5-star replacement: Homa’s Staff (5★)
This weapon is like a warm staff. -
Feng Jin’s growth process and indomitable spirit exploration on the Star Dome Railway
The world of the Star Dome Railway is vast and mysterious, with countless bizarre life stories, and the appearance of Feng Jin adds a touch of freshness and tenacity to this vast universe. She is not only a character with wind attributes, but also a microcosm of the times, carrying the mission of memory and growth. In the upcoming 3.3 version, her figure will appear more vividly in the vision of pioneers. In order to help those players who are looking forward to her and love her to better accompany her growth, we have carefully summarized the various materials needed for her growth, and hope that this guide can help everyone.
Feng Jin’s growth journey is a road full of challenges and hardships. From the character level to breaking through the limit, every step condenses the weight of time and effort. She needs 56 pieces of “Fear Trampling Flesh and Blood”. These seemingly cold materials are actually witnesses of her pain and struggle in her growth. Fear is a kind of tempering, but also a kind of power. It is through this fear that she learned how to face the ruthlessness and difficulties of the world.
There are 71 pieces of “Courage Tearing the Chest”, which is Feng Jin’s inner motivation to keep moving forward. Courage is not fearlessness, but the tenacity of not retreating in the face of difficulties. She used courage to tear the shackles of her chest, break free from the shackles, and face the storm. Every breakthrough is a manifestation of her willpower and an expression of her love for life.
“Glory Baptizes the Body”, 73 pieces, represents the recognition she has gained in her struggle. Glory does not come from false reputation, but the real reward after solid efforts. Her glory comes from every effort and persistence, which is the baptism of the body and the perseverance of the soul.
“A Cup of Drunk Times”, these 65 materials seem to carry a strong flavor of the times. They come from the “Pinoconni Grand Theater”, which is the forging ground of Feng Jin’s soul. That challenging place allowed her to go through tempering and brew unique tenacity and calmness. The vicissitudes of the times have left an indelible mark on her.
Feng Jin’s exclusive light cone “May the rainbow light stay in the sky forever” symbolizes the eternal faith in her heart. In order to raise it to the peak, pioneers need to collect a large number of fear, courage and glory fragments. The light cone is not only a piece of equipment, but also a symbol of life. It illuminates Feng Jin’s way forward and warms her soul.
In the process of breakthrough, she started from level 20 and went all the way to level 70. Every leap requires a lot of materials and credit points to support. Breakthrough is not only an increase in numbers, but also a spiritual sublimation. It is a process of her challenging herself and surpassing herself again and again. Behind this growth is her unyielding will and tenacious spirit.
Feng Jin’s trace materials are like the footprints of her life. Every piece of fear, courage and glory is a witness to her struggle against fate. The seeds of thinking, the sprouts of manas and the Alaya are symbols of her inner vitality. They represent the subtle changes in the depths of her soul and the gradually growing hope.
“The sound of the same wish” and “the footprints of destiny” are the silent contract between her and the Starry Sky Railway, and the mark of her pursuit of the future. It is these details that make her story more real and touching, and also let each of us pioneers feel the warmth and power of life when accompanying her growth.
Feng Jin’s story is not just a character story in the game, but more like a mirror, reflecting the tenacity and fearlessness of each of us when facing difficulties in life. She makes us understand that the road of life may be rugged, but as long as we have courage and faith, we can usher in our own light.
Everyone who accompanies her growth is carefully weaving a solid net to support her soaring on the Starry Sky Railway. The collection of materials and the upgrade of breakthroughs are not just a game of numbers, but also our love and persistence for life. Feng Jin’s wind gently blows our hearts, reminding us to face the unknown bravely and cherish every opportunity for growth.
May Feng Jin’s story become an immortal lighthouse in the hearts of every pioneer, guiding us through the fog and toward the light. May you and I walk hand in hand on the journey of the Starry Sky Railway and witness together the tenacity and beauty of Fengjin.
