What is new in Unraveled for Daybreak?
Star Rail FEST is the first big new addition to Honkai Star Rail 4.1. The official narrative breakdown provided via press release from HoYoverse is:
After arriving at Planarcadia, the Trailblazer successfully obtained the mask of the supplicant to participate in the Phantasmoon Games and defeated the hottest local streamer Sparxie, becoming the top-tier trending of Planarcadia.
Currently, in order to carry forward the spirit of Trailblazing and give the people of Planarcadia a chance to keep up with Star Rail, Pearl, the CEO of Planarcadia, has decided to collaborate with the members of the Astral Express to hold a grand exposition called Star Rail FEST, themed around the adventurous journey of the Astral Express. With the much-anticipated Star Rail FEST about to commence, in the background the Phantasmoon Games are unfolding with unstoppable momentum, as the War of the Supplicants is on the verge of eruption.
Zones
This large-scale celebration features three major open zones that recreate iconic moments from the game’s history:
- The Belobog Zone: Featuring giant balloon figures modeled after Supreme Guardian Cocolia and the Engine of Creation.
- Xianzhou Luofu Zone: Where attendees can relive the heart-pounding duel against Lord Ravager Phantylia.
- Penacony Zone: An immersive experience allowing fans to charge at The Great Septimus to the tune of Robin’s singing.
Beyond the nostalgia, players will gain access to the Pearluxe Tower, the headquarters of Pearluxe Corp. This new area features the “Alloy King Pom-Pom” ultra-poseable model and various mechatron-themed interactive activities.
New Character: Asheviel
Unraveled for Daybreak also marks the debut of Ashveil as a playable character. Described as the “unreliable detective,” Ashveil also has a serious side as he investigates a murder case in the Dovebrook District. Ashveil is a 5-star Lightning-Type character following the Path of The Hunt, and he will be available via Warp throughout the entirety of Version 4.1.
Kit Breakdown
- Warp: When he uses his Technique during Map Exploration, it can inflict a Stunned state on enemies within a certain range.
- Bait: After entering combat, Ashveil increases the CRIT DMG of all allies and selects one enemy to become the “Bait.” As long as the “Bait” is on the field, the DEF of all enemies will be reduced. When Ashveil uses his Skill on the “Bait” again, he will deal extra DMG and recover Skill Points for the team.
- Hounding Pursuit: Centering on the “Bait” target, Ashveil will launch a continuous Hounding Pursuit.
- Gluttony: When a teammate attacks the “Bait,” Ashveil unleashes a Follow-Up ATK and gradually accumulates “Gluttony” in combat. He can consume “Gluttony” to further enhance this unit’s Follow-Up ATK capabilities.
