What’s new in Honkai: Star Rail patch 1.3

A new Honkai: Star Rail update is out now, adding new story and characters via the 1.3 patch.

This patch is less story heavy than previous patches, but is still full of some pretty exciting new content and quality of life changes.

It takes 18 minutes to accumulate one Reserved Trailblaze Power (compared to six minutes for the regular kind), so by letting your stamina overcap into the reserve, you are technically losing efficiency. Either way, this is a great way to allow players to take it easy and take breaks when they may be feeling burnt out.

There are quite a few mysteries left open, but the Astral Express is ending their journey on Xianzhou Luofu and getting ready to set off to the next planet, so it seems like we might have to save those mysteries for later.

As part of the story, the small Aurum Alley has been added to the Xianzhou
