"Honkai Star Rail's New Chapter 'Through the Petals in the Land of Repose' Released"

Author : Audrey Jun 27,2025

Honkai: Star Rail version 3.2, titled Through the Petals in the Land of Repose, is now live and brings a wealth of new content for players to explore. This update introduces fresh story chapters, two brand-new five-star characters, limited-time events, and exciting gameplay additions that make this one of the most anticipated updates yet.

New Characters: Castorice (Remembrance) & Anaxa (Erudition)

One of the standout features of version 3.2 is the arrival of two powerful five-star characters:

  • Castorice (Remembrance) enters the battlefield wielding Netherwing, a spectral dragon-like entity. When summoned, Netherwing burns its own HP to deal damage to enemies. However, it also has a unique restorative ability—when allies lose HP, Netherwing regenerates health in return. This makes Castorice an intriguing blend of offense and support, perfect for teams that thrive on balance and synergy.

  • Anaxa (Erudition) offers a more conventional but highly effective combat style. His abilities apply random elemental weaknesses to enemies. Once enough stacks are accumulated, Anaxa can enter the Qualitative Disclosure state, boosting his damage output and unlocking additional freely usable skill attacks. His versatile playstyle makes him a valuable asset across multiple team compositions.
