Following the events of the 3.0 Amphoreus storyline in Honkai: Star Rail, we’re starting to see movement in-game to pull together against the Antimatter Legion, Nanook, and Destruction, and a new Anti-Destruction Alliance trailer highlights the old and new characters who are fighting back or part of upcoming events. It means a chance to see folks from the Galaxy Rangers, Interastral Peace Corporation (IPC), Masked Fools, The Oak Family, Stellaron Hunters, and Xianzhou Alliance. This means we could see all of these folks once we head to Planarcadia in 4.0.
Some of these mark appearances of characters we’ve heard about, but not actually encountered in-game. The IPC members Opal (Paul Castro Jr.) and Pearl (Cat Protano) are perfect examples. Both are Ten Stonehearts members. He’s at the same rank as Jade, which is P46, while she’s at P45 like Aventurine. Ashveil is another example of a newcomer. All three of these characters previously tended to only appear in videos on the YouTube channel.
The remainder are characters we are familiar with already, such as the Stellaron Hunters Blade, Kafka, and Silver Wolf, Galaxy Rangers Boothill and Rappa, Genius Society’s Ruan Mei, and Xianzhou character Jingliu. Among them are also the new version of the Masked Fools’ Sparkle, which is called Sparxie, and Yao Guang. Both of them will be the first 4.0 characters appearing after the patch.
Here’s the full “Anti-Destruction Alliance” Honkai: Star Rail trailer highlighting different characters. It seems to feature Pearl inviting people to join the alliance and working with Opal to prepare a trap, and everyone’s response to it. It also hints at what we might be able to expect once the Planarcadia Trailblaze missions begin.
Honkai: Star Rail is available for the PS5, PC, and mobile devices, and the 4.0 update will show up on February 14, 2026.
