Few days ago, HoYoverse finally launched the special program for Version 3.8 of Honkai: Star Rail, which included new characters, new events, system optimizations, and adjustments. Most notably, it featured the long-awaited strengthening character for Break teams — "The Dahlia." I have organized the key points from this special program for you. Come take a look!

1. Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.8 - Warp Character Overview

1.1 Phase 1 Warp

The 5-star Fire attribute Nihility path character, The Dahlia, will receive a rate-up in Version 3.8. Her signature Light Cone, "Never Forget Her Flame," will also be featured in the Warp concurrently. The Dahlia's field can increase the Toughness Break efficiency of allies and trigger Super Break DMG even before the enemy's Toughness is fully broken. Her Ultimate can apply Weaknesses, making her compatible with all current Break-focused characters, and she has additional synergy effects with Firefly.

Meanwhile, the 5-star Fire attribute Destruction character Firefly will have a rerun in Phase 1 of the Version 3.8 warp. If you want to start building a Break team, you can now quickly assemble the team composition.

4-star characters: Gallagher, Luka, March 7th

4-star Light Cones: "Good Night and Sleep Well", "Memories of the Past", "Concert for Two"

1.2 Phase 2 Warp

Fugue, as a specialized support for Break teams, will also have a rerun in Version 3.8. Is the Break battleship about to be reassembled?

Lingsha serves as the survival/sustain slot for Break teams while also possessing a degree of versatility. However, the difference between Lingsha and Gallagher isn't particularly significant; overall, she is considered the lowest priority reinforcement 5-star for Break teams.

4-star characters: Natasha, Sampo, Arlan

4-star Light Cones: "Post-Op Conversation", "The Moles Welcome You", "Geniuses' Repose"

1.3 Phase 3 Warp

Due to unknown reasons, Version 3.8 has been extended to a total of eight weeks, hence there is a third phase warp. Aglaea is receiving a rerun; however, given that Aglaea's performance in the Forgotten Hall isn't particularly outstanding, it's better that she remains strong in the Currency Wars mode.

Sunday has also secured a rerun slot. He currently remains a quality support character; if you don't have him, you can consider pulling for him at E0 without his signature Light Cone.

4-star characters: Tingyun, Yukong, Dan Heng

4-star Light Cones: "Geniuses' Greetings", "Trend of the Universal Market", "Dance! Dance! Dance!"

6. ANTA × Honkai: Star Rail Collaboration

The sportswear brand ANTA has launched a collaboration with Honkai: Star Rail. It is said to feature co-branded apparel of the same style as Cyrene's. So evidently, there will be headwear and footwear. As for whether items like upper garments, skirts, socks, etc., will be included in the collaboration, it remains unknown.
