Honkai Star Rail 4.3 banners: Complete list of characters
Phase 1
A long-awaited addition is finally stepping onto the battlefield — Mortenax Blade is officially debuting as a 5-star Fire character on the Path of Nihility.
Once consumed by mara and burdened by years spent waiting for his “death in the script” as part of the Stellaron Hunters, Blade’s story is set to hit a major turning point in this update.
His combat kit leans heavily into relentless pressure and high-damage setups. Blade’s Ultimate, “Fornax Ex Corpore,” creates a special Bounded Field that increases the damage enemies take while pushing him into an enhanced combat state.
From there, his Skill evolves into a Sword Formation attack capable of dealing even heavier damage, alongside unlocking an upgraded Ultimate.
His mechanics also reward aggressive team play — every allied attack applies a debuff to enemies while building a unique Charge for Blade. Once fully stacked, he automatically triggers his Skill and restores additional Energy, keeping the momentum going throughout battle.

Honkai Star Rail 4.3’s story explores Blade’s final gamble
The deepest secret hidden within Honkai: Star Rail’s Planarcadia arc is finally set to come to light in Honak Star Rail Version 4.3.
Beyond the dreamlike landscapes lies the divine husk of the Aeon Voracity, an ancient being tied to desire and endless consumption — and the key to Blade’s desperate gamble to end the curse that has haunted him for centuries.
After carrying the flesh of Shuhu within himself through countless years and battles, Blade chooses to place his own fate on the line. By seeking the power of the Voracity, he hopes to completely erase the Shuhu festering inside his body once and for all.
But whether that decision leads him toward death or something entirely new remains unwritten, even in Elio’s script, leaving the Trailblazer to witness the outcome firsthand.
At the same time, the Trailblazer journeys to Inkford Hermitage, the fragile border between reality and the World in Canvas, to warn Graphia about the growing threat posed by Lord Ravager Asat Pramad.
Known as the “Mother of Imagenesis,” Graphia is the legendary ancestor of the Murata family who has survived for over a thousand years.
Long before the current era, she used her brush to “encanvas” all of Ahatopia and repel the Demons From Beyond, though the act condemned every future generation of the Murata bloodline to the devastating Weathering Curse.
Her long-awaited debut could finally shed light on some of the game’s biggest mysteries, including the truth behind the Graphia family, the origins of Phantasmoon Games, and even lingering questions surrounding Himeko.
Honkai Star Rail 4.3 events add new challenge modes and Theme Park Management
Beyond the main story, Honkai Star Rail Version 4.3 is also introducing a new lineup of events and endgame content.
Wispae Amusement Park
One of the biggest additions is the IPC’s “Wispae Amusement Park,” a management-style event set inside the World in Canvas.
Acting as the park’s Chief Planner, players will design visitor routes and place attractions across themed zones in order to draw in wispae guests and keep the park thriving.
Starward Mode
The update will also expand the game’s high-level challenge content with the debut of “Starward Mode” for Memory of Chaos, Pure Fiction, and Apocalyptic Shadow.
The new format requires players to build three separate teams to tackle three different stages, adding another layer of strategy for endgame players.
Fully clearing each mode with maximum stars will reward an extra 100 Stellar Jades per phase, for a total of 300 additional Stellar Jades across all three challenge modes.
