HoYoverse is once again gearing up to deliver a major update to its award-winning space fantasy RPG. Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.8, titled “Memories Are the Prelude to Dreams,” is arriving soon, bringing players back to Penacony—this time to uncover the truths buried beneath the planet’s glittering celebrations.
With the Amphoreus arc concluded, the Astral Express shifts its attention back to the Planet of Festivities, revealing darker secrets, twisted memories, and a new limited five-star character, Constance “The Dahlia.” Version 3.8 promises a fresh perspective, exhilarating combat, and brand-new events launching across all platforms.
A New Dream Beckons on Penacony
Penacony has always been the galaxy’s vacation getaway—a place of music, celebration, and star-spun dreams. But as players learned during the Charmony Festival, perfection tends to hide deeper truths.
In Version 3.8, those truths begin to unravel.
After the climactic finale in Amphoreus, The Trailblazer learns that fragments of their memory have been stolen, and only the mysterious newcomer The Dahlia seems to know why. With her guidance, players will reconstruct the real story behind Penacony’s dreamscape and confront the shadows that linger behind the smiles.
Firefly’s Memories Take Center Stage
Version 3.8 puts players directly into Firefly’s perspective as she revisits her origins within the dreamscape. Fans will finally see:
- How Firefly first entered the dreamworld
- How she crossed paths with the Trailblazer
- The battles that shaped her journey
- The emergence of The Family’s power and the Dream of Gnawing Oak
Firefly will also encounter a long-lost figure from her past as a Glamoth Iron Cavalry Knight, deepening the emotional and narrative stakes of the update.
The Dahlia: Penacony’s Elegant and Dangerous New Five-Star
The highlight of the patch is the arrival of Constance “The Dahlia,” a five-star Nihility character designed around Break DMG synergy.
What Makes The Dahlia Unique?
- Creates a gloomy Zone that enables allies to trigger Super Break DMG even before enemies’ Toughness is fully depleted
- Forms Dance Partner bonds with teammates, enabling additional Super Break DMG following their attacks
- Her Ultimate applies all Dance Partner Weakness Types to enemies, making toughness reduction more effective
- Ties heavily into Penacony’s memory mechanics, able to fabricate and ignite memories themselves
Connected to both the Garden of Recollection and Black Swan, The Dahlia brings political intrigue and personal conflict into the heart of the story. Her quest to recover lost memories isn’t just for the Trailblazer—it’s deeply tied to her own past as well.
New Events: Train Chimeras and Test Your Strategy
Version 3.8 introduces two major events:
The Chrysos Awoo Championship
A brand-new creature-training competition where Trailblazers act as chimera trainers, building teams and coaching their adorable (but fearsome) creatures toward championship glory.
Remnants of Twilight
A combat-focused event filled with layered battle challenges demanding sharp strategy, clever team composition, and decisive action.
