What’s new in Honkai: Star Rail version 3.6?
The 3.6 update adds two new playable variants of existing crewmates, plus events and returning mini-games.
New characters
The update introduces Dan Heng Permansor Terrae, a Physical Preservation version of Dan Heng, and March 7th Evernight, an Ice Remembrance version of March 7th. These are alternate builds of familiar characters rather than entirely new faces.
Free character and events
Notably, players can claim Dan Heng Permansor Terrae for free if they log in before version 4.1. Additionally, the patch includes droma-themed events, the return of Seal Slammers, and the Origami Bird mini-game.
Overall, 3.6 focuses on character variants and event content, with the usual assortment of limited-time activities and rewards.
