A recent leak from Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.2 has surfaced, revealing a new material type that may hint at the arrival of a highly anticipated playable character. HoYoverse’s popular turn-based RPG is currently in the early stages of Version 3.1, which continues the main story arc on the planet of Amphoreus and introduces new characters like Tribbie and Mydei. However, the spotlight is already shifting to Version 3.2, thanks to ongoing beta tests and subsequent leaks.
These leaks have already shed light on two confirmed new characters, Anaxa and Castorice, including their materials and gameplay kits. Additionally, rumors about rerun banners in Version 3.2 have sparked speculation about which characters might make a comeback. Now, a new leak has emerged, potentially teasing the release of a future character.
New Physical Material Leaked in Version 3.2 Beta
According to reliable leaker Sakura Haven, a new material for Physical characters was spotted in the Version 3.2 beta tests. Shared in a Reddit post tagged as “Reliable,” the leak suggests that this material is currently unused in the tests and features placeholder icons and descriptions from older materials.
In Honkai: Star Rail, materials related to specific elements are typically obtained through Stagnant Shadow activities, and this new Physical material is expected to follow the same pattern. Players will likely need to complete these challenges to farm the material once it’s officially released.
While the material’s name and exact purpose remain unknown, its existence strongly hints at the arrival of a new Physical character in future updates. This aligns with previous rumors suggesting that a new Physical unit could debut in Versions 3.3 or 3.4.
Who Could the New Material Serve?
The leaks point to two potential candidates for this new Physical material: Phainon and Cipher.
- Phainon:
Phainon, the Chrysos Heir and an ally to the Traveler on Amphoreus, has been rumored to be a Physical character. Leaks suggest that he could be released in one of the upcoming patches, and the new Physical material might serve as one of his Ascension materials. - Cipher:
There’s also speculation that Cipher could be a Physical unit, though leaks about her element are less concrete compared to Phainon. If Cipher is indeed a Physical character, she could also utilize the new material.
Castorice’s Broken Ability Leak
In addition to the new material, leaks about Castorice’s abilities in Version 3.2 have surfaced, suggesting that she may possess one of the most overpowered skills in the game. This has raised concerns about balancing future characters, as her abilities could set a high bar for power levels.
What’s Next for Honkai: Star Rail?
As Honkai: Star Rail continues to evolve, the introduction of new materials and characters keeps the game fresh and exciting. The leaked Physical material not only hints at the arrival of a new character but also suggests that HoYoverse is expanding the game’s roster and mechanics.
Players can look forward to more updates as Version 3.2 approaches, with the potential release of Phainon or Cipher adding even more depth to the game’s already rich universe. For now, fans will have to wait for official confirmation from HoYoverse to see how these leaks unfold.
