A recent leak has surfaced, detailing the ascension and trace materials required to max out Honkai: Star Rail’s upcoming 5-star Quantum character, Castorice, ahead of her anticipated debut in Phase 1 of Version 3.2 (slated for early April 2025). As a follower of the Path of Remembrance, Castorice is poised to bring unique strategic utility to team compositions, making her a sought-after addition for players. With the community already buzzing about Version 3.2’s content, this leak offers a strategic head start for resource farming.

Version 3.2 Leaks: Banners, Events & New Area
The excitement for Version 3.2 extends beyond Castorice, with additional leaks hinting at:
- Phase 1 & 2 Banners
- Phase 1: Castorice (Quantum/Remembrance) will headline alongside reruns of Dr. Ratio (Imaginary/Hunt), Acheron (Lightning/Nihility), and Jiaoqiu (Fire/Erudition).
- Phase 2: Features debutant Anaxa (Ice/Hunt) and Aventurine (Imaginary/Preservation).
- Anniversary-Themed Events
Version 3.2 is rumored to coincide with Honkai: Star Rail’s second anniversary, celebrated through the Star Rail WORLD event. Leaks suggest generous rewards, including Stellar Jades, Tracks of Destiny, and exclusive cosmetics. Five additional events are expected, ranging from combat challenges to exploration quests. - New explorable Zone: Shattered Moon Realm
A visually striking area described as a fractured lunar landscape with cascading water and vibrant flora. Leaked images showcase ethereal purple-blue blooms and celestial ruins, suggesting ties to the game’s overarching lore.
Strategic Preparations & Community Hype
With Castorice’s material requirements now public, players can pre-farm Stagnant Shadow (Echoing Wail) and Echo of War (Ethereal Omen) runs. However, the sheer volume of Credits and Trace materials underscores the need for efficient planning, especially for free-to-play users.
The influx of leaks has ignited speculation about Version 3.2’s narrative direction, particularly how the Shattered Moon Realm and anniversary events will expand the game’s universe. As always, HoYoverse remains tight-lipped, but the community’s anticipation continues to build.
Honkai: Star Rail is currently in Version 3.1, running until late March 2025. Stay tuned for official updates as Version 3.2 approaches!
