Uncover Penacony’s hidden memories and team up with The Dahlia!

Story Highlights
  • The Dahlia debuts as a 5-Star Nihility unit, helping you recover Penacony’s lost memories.
  • Version 3.8 introduces events like The Chrysos Awoo Championship and Remnants of Twilight, new map, and more.

HoYoverse is gearing up to release Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.8 update, titled “Memories are the Prelude to Dreams“, soon. This update shifts the spotlight to new mysteries, a new 5-star character, time-limited events, and more for Trailblazers.

Main Story Progression: Memories are the Prelude to Dreams

So, Penacony, the Land of Dreams, has always been a place where travelers visit for celebration and fun. Also, during the Charmony Festival, the Astral Express previously helped those lost in beautiful dreams reclaim control of their lives. And yet beneath those warm celebrations, many mysteries remain.

Moreover, after Amphoreus’ final battle, Constance, The Dahlia, appears with a startling revelation, claiming that your memories are incomplete and crucial pieces have been taken from you. So, with her guidance, you’ll dive deeper into Penacony’s lore to complete the full story.

Firefly’s perspective and the Dream of Gnawing Oak Map

Another cool part of this update is the fact that you’ll get to experience the narrative from Firefly’s perspective. This means that you can finally see what led her into the dreamscape, or how she bonded with us, and what exactly are her inner battles are.

Not only that, but her memories also reveal the Family’s seat of power and the Dream of Gnawing Oak map. Plus, after a long time, she will encounter an old friend from her days as a Glamoth Iron Cavalry
Knight.

New Playable Character in HSR Version 3.8

The Dahlia

The Dahlia, a 5-Star Nihility Unit and support character, takes the spotlight in Penacony’s memory-hunting lore. In combat, she shines when you pair up with teammates who specialize in Break DMG. You can summon a gloomy zone that lets your allies trigger Super Break DMG even before your enemies’ Weaknesses are broken.

On top of that, you can also select to become your Dance Partner, allowing both of you to deal additional Super Break DMG whenever you attack an enemy. I like her Ultimate, as it spreads your Dance Partner’s Type Weakness across all your enemies, making Toughness Reduction more effective in battle.

New Events

This update also brings a new fun event, The Chrysos Awoo Championship, where you’ll take on the role of a chimera trainer. You can then raise and battle with these adorable chimeras, as you build a formidable team to win the championship.

Besides this new event, you can also take part in the Remnants of Twilight event for a solid variety of battle challenges, though you’ll need to use your strategic prowess for this one. There’s also the Gift of Odyssey event, where you can claim rewards from the Travel Log just by logging in for 7 days in total.

Final Thoughts

Play

So, with The Dahlia joining the roster as a powerful new 5-star character, the exciting new event where you can train chimeras, Penacony’s memory-hunting adventure, and more, Version 3.8 delivers a solid experience with fun content. I don’t know if I’ll pull The Dahlia or not, but I’ll surely be trying out both events.
