HoYoverse announced during a livestream that popular Honkai Star Rail characters Kafka, Silver Wolf, Blade, and Jingliu will be reworked in the upcoming HSR 3.4 update, scheduled for early July 2025. These characters were once top-tier but have fallen behind in terms of damage output and team viability. The changes are in direct response to fan feedback about their diminishing effectiveness. The phenomenon of power creep is common in gacha games, raising questions about how HoYoverse will balance its character roster compared to its other titles, like Genshin Impact.
Kafka, Silver Wolf, Blade, and Jingliu are due for significant reworks in HSR 3.4, aiming to revive their fading relevance in the game's meta.
Old characters fading into irrelevance is a common issue in gacha games, yet HoYoverse's titles typically do not see their characters become outdated so quickly.
