Honkai: Star Rail Launches Fate/stay night Collaboration with Free Character, No 4-Star Boosts, and No English VO Plans

Sure thing, I’ll give it a go.

—

Okay, so, big news splat for all those Honkai: Star Rail fans out there. And, yeah, it’s finally happening—Fate/stay night is crashing the party with this hyped-up collab event. Everybody’s been buzzing about it. The twists? Add a week post-patch 3.4 drop, and all those extra game knick-knacks that came along.

Right, there was this livestream back in June. Might have caught it, might not have. It spilled the beans on what’s coming. The limelight? All about those two new Fate/stay night faces joining the fray. But let’s not rush ahead—or wait, maybe we should. Hmm.

So, don’t panic—this crossover extravaganza isn’t disappearing anytime soon. No official cut-off date hovering, though whispers are saying November might be the magic month. Saber dives in as a 5-Star Wind/Destruction champ while Archer’s flexing as Quantum/Hunt, also a 5-Star. And hey, if you’re quick on the draw and log in during the event, Archer’s all yours for free. Sweet, right? Plus, snag enough gear to shoot him up to level 60.

Oh, here’s a fun pic someone snapped—Saber and Archer looking cool as ever.

The banners? Four special ones. No flashy 4-star drops lurking here, though Saber’s gear is a lock after 200 attempts. Might sound daunting, or maybe it’s just me.

More tidbits—none of our Fate buddies are speaking English. Feels kinda pointed, especially seeing MiHoYo’s vocal stance amidst the SAG-AFTRA vid game scramble. Curious, really.

And then there’s this new Trailblaze thing, Sweet Dreams and the Holy Grail—I mean, where do they even come up with these names? For 30 days till August 11, dive into some battle challenge frenzy. Get those shiny rewards before they vanish. Later on, the event slides into the Conventional Memoir for those who blinked and missed it.

And let’s not forget about the extra characters sneaking in, though they’re not Fate folks. Phainon, who you might remember from lurking around in Honkai: Star Rail, steps into the spotlight as another 5-Star Physical/Destruction hero.

Hold up, we’re also flipping through reruns. First phase? Boom—July 2 dropped Tribbie, Sunday, and Sparkle back on stage. Phase 2 in July 23? Hello again, Firefly, with a wardrobe change, Jingliu, and Blade.

Oh yeah, the 3.4 update sprinkles some love on Kafka, Silver Wolf, and Blade with tweaked mechanics. Jingliu’s timing couldn’t be better because of it.

Is your head spinning yet? Mine kind of is. Like, are we still talking about a game?
