In addition to this huge range of evergreen content, double dropout periods and login events, we get two limited-time events during Honkai Star Rail update 2.3. One less than usual, but many new modes are added, so there’s actually more to do than usual.

Here’s a quick summary of these limited-time events in Honkai Star Rail 2.3:

Clash of origami birds

Ever wanted to play Candy Crush in Honkai: Star Rail? No? Well, sorry, because that’s essentially what Origami Bird Clash is. During the mini-game, you must achieve eliminations in a set number of moves to increase the birds’ combat power to continue, and you can participate in story challenges, but also freely “fight friends from all over the world.” ‘universe’. It’s unclear exactly what this means, but it looks like you can invite your real friends, but it could just be a way to invite characters from the game.

Stellar shimmer

We saw the first Stellar event in version 1.1, but this new version mixes things up a bit more. This is still a combat event with trial characters available, where you have to defeat as many enemies in a set number of cycles, like in Memory of Chaos, but this time the focus is on Setting aside your Abundance characters to take advantage of special ‘mechanics’ that help attack-focused teams.
