In an exciting update for fans of Honkai Star Rail, HoYoverse, the game’s developers, recently announced that a limited-time 5-star character will be offered as a free gift in upcoming patches. Speculation has arisen from a credible source, Luna, suggesting that this coveted character will likely be an Archer from the popular Fate collaboration.
Leak Points to Fate Collaboration Archer as Free 5-Star Character
Posts from the honkaistarrail_leaks community on Reddit
This leak from Luna, known for their accurate predictions, indicates that the free 5-star character could be drawn from the characters familiar to fans of the Fate Stay Night series. With multiple Archers featured in Fate Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works, identifying the exact Archer who will make an appearance is challenging.
Notably, prior leaks have hinted that EMIYA is expected to debut as a 4-star character. This leads to the possibility that another prominent Archer, such as Gilgamesh, could be introduced as the featured free unit. Gilgamesh, having been summoned as an Archer and remaining relevant post the 4th Holy Grail War, definitely fits the archetype.
Additionally, community discussions among Trailblazers suggest that the Archer referenced in Luna’s leak could be March 7. Should this speculation prove accurate, players can anticipate this character’s introduction in version 3.6, as previously indicated by other leaks.
