Trailblazers, your favorite 5-star might be getting an upgrade past what we thought was the ceiling. A fresh leak around Honkai Star Rail 4.7 points to a brand-new “Ex-Eidolon” system, and one of them may cost you nothing. As always with leaks, take this with a grain of salt until HoYoverse confirms it.

The Catch
Here’s the fine print: you can’t have all three for free. Beta leaks suggest an event where you choose one character to upgrade. For the others, you’d need a separate currency. So the “free” part is a single pick, and the rest may be paid or recharge-based. The exact number of free upgrades, repeat availability and full requirements remain unconfirmed.

Why Players Are Excited
- It’s like E7 without the grind. Leakers compare Ex-Eidolons to an Eidolon 7, but you don’t need E6 to unlock it. t
- It changes how characters play. Unlocking one triggers a special animation, and the skills menu highlights which skills were adjusted. t
- It’s a big update. Aeon Aha is the headliner, and Ex-Eidolons add another reason to log in.
Which Character Should You Pick?
Choose the one you actually play. If Acheron anchors your team, spend your free pick there. A free upgrade only pays off on someone who’s already in your lineup.
When Will We Know More?
Estimates put the version 4.7 special program in late October and launch between November 9 and 11, so you won’t wait long for official details. Until then, save your resources and don’t spend on assumptions. u7buy
