Developer HoYoverse shared a new volume of the Voice of the Galaxy, the special developer radio for Honkai: Star Rail. In the latest issue the team tackled gameplay improvements that will be added in HSR Version 1.5 and beyond. Players are in for a new permanent game mode, Forgotten Hall optimization, additional rewards, and more!
First things first, the new permanent game mode: Pure Fiction. It will kick off in Version 1.6 and introduce more diverse gaming experience. Unlike the Forgotten Hall or the Simulated Universe, Pure Fiction features continuously respawning enemies. The more enemies you defeat and the higher damage you deal within a limited number of cycles, the higher your score will be. Each phase of the game mode offers up to 720 Stellar Jades.
Forgotten Hall and Memory of Chaos will receive a number of adjustments:
- New Memory of Chaos Stages 11 & 12. Getting 3 stars in each will reward you additional 120 Jades, bringing the total for 720 Stellar Jades per phase of the Memory of Chaos.
- Forgotten Hall Auto-Clear function. If a Trailblazer achieves a 3-star victory in Stage 7 or higher, they will subsequently begin challenging future period from Stage 7. Upon achieving a 4-star victory in Stage 7, they will receive all the rewards from Stages 1-6.
- Team Setup Memory will launch in Version 1.5. Whether Trailblazers succeeded or failed in a challenge, they will no longer need to re-select their team when attempting the same Stage again.
- Forgotten Hall availability adjusted. Starting with Version 1.6, Memory of Chaos will no longer refresh every two weeks. Instead, it will alternate with Pure Fiction.
- Additional rewards. Starting with Version 1.6, Trailblazers that successfully challenge Forgotten Hall or Pure Fiction will be able to acquire Self-Modeling Resins and additional items as new rewards.
Nameless Honor Optimization. Nameless Honor will receive levels 51-70, awarding 10,000 Credits & 20 Relic Remains each.
Relic Enhancement Optimization. Quick-enhance option is in the works along with the Discard Relic function. There will also be a Recommended Relic option in the future. Relic Filtering experience will also be improved.
Honkai: Star Rail – Version 1.5 releases on November 15th. Players are in for a trio of new characters, new Light Cones, new zone, events, and so much more. Trailblazers will also get to explore new Simulated Universe World 8 and take advantage of new Relic sets.
