As Honkai: Star Rail's 3.0 Phase 2 banners run from February 4th to 25th, 2025, players face tough decisions with limited Stellar Jades. HoYoverse presents one groundbreaking new character—Aglaea, the first playable Amphoreus unit wielding the Path of Remembrance—alongside three high-demand reruns: Boothill, Robin, and Silver Wolf. Each demands significant investment due to notoriously low 5-star drop rates, forcing strategic choices before Version 3.1 arrives with rumored characters like Tribbie and Mydei.

Aglaea: Lightning Hypercarry with a Fragile Edge

As the pioneer of Remembrance Path gameplay, Aglaea summons the memosprite Garmentmaker—unlike the Trailblazer’s support-focused version, this duo packs serious heat. She’s a hypercarry beast dealing Lightning DMG, scaling with SPD like Seele, but oh boy, she’s glass cannon material. Her CRIT-focused build leaves both her and Garmentmaker vulnerable, demanding shields or healers to survive. At the end of the day, she’s worth it if you’ve got buffers like Ruan Mei ready to babysit her squishiness.

Rerun Showdown: Boothill vs. Robin vs. Silver Wolf

  • Boothill (Hunt/Physical): This Galaxy Ranger specializes in brutal single-target Standoffs—think wild west duels where he and the enemy deal bonus DMG to each other. He’s a boss-slaying monster but struggles against mobs. Pull him only if you’re all-in on Super Break teams; otherwise, he’s collecting dust.

  • Robin (Harmony/Physical): Still the gold standard for supports! Her ultimate boosts ATK and CRIT DMG while advancing allies’ turns, making follow-up attackers like Jing Yuan sing. Versatile and future-proof—she’s the banner’s safest bet.

  • Silver Wolf (Nihility/Quantum): The OG weakness applier, but rumors swirl about Anaxa powercreeping her in 3.2. Handy for mismatched elemental teams, yet pulling her now feels like gambling against leaks.

People Also Ask

  • Q: Should I skip Phase 2 for Version 3.1 characters?

A: Only if Tribbie/Mydei fit your roster gaps—Robin’s versatility outshines most new units.

  • Q: Can Aglaea work without Garmentmaker?

A: Nope, they’re a package deal. If her memosprite falls, your DPS tanks.

  • Q: Is Boothill F2P-friendly?

A: Hardly—he needs Harmony Trailblazer or Fugue to unlock his Super Break potential.

Final Verdict & Future Gazes

For DPS seekers, Aglaea’s ceiling is sky-high but demands perfect supports—Boothill’s niche appeal makes him riskier. Support collectors should sprint toward Robin; she’s timeless. Silver Wolf? Well, that’s like buying a phone before the new model drops. With Amphoreus lore expanding and Version 3.1’s shadows looming, one wonders: Will these banners be remembered as meta-defining... or costly detours before the next revolution?
