The highly anticipated Aetherium Wars tournament has arrived in Honkai: Star Rail, and players are already raving about it. In just one day, the event has become a fan favorite, with many players calling it the best event in the game so far.
The Aetherium Wars event takes inspiration from Pokémon, allowing players to collect enemies known as Aether Spirits and deploy them in battles against other players. These Aether Spirits are familiar foes that players have encountered throughout their journey in the game. The event also features iconic characters from the Honkai: Star Rail universe, adding to the excitement.
Players have praised the event for its attention to detail, Easter eggs, and engaging battles. The event’s style and gameplay mechanics closely resemble Pokémon, making it a delight for fans of both franchises. One player even jokingly referred to it as a “Pokémon ripoff,” highlighting the similarities between the two.
The event is filled with Easter eggs and references that pay homage to Pokémon, further enhancing the enjoyment for players. These references have been compiled by a player and shared on Reddit, but be cautious of potential spoilers if you haven’t progressed far in the event yet.
The Aetherium Wars event has been so well-received that players are requesting it to become a permanent game mode. Some players have suggested that it could be Honkai: Star Rail’s version of Genshin Impact’s Genius Invokation TCG, offering an optional PvP mode with its own currency and customizable accessories for the Aether Spirits.
While players are thoroughly enjoying the event, there is a common complaint about the lack of multiplayer mode. Many players have expressed their desire for a multiplayer feature in Honkai: Star Rail, and if the Aetherium Wars event becomes permanent, it could potentially include a PvP mode as well.
The Aetherium Wars event will be available until November 11, 2023, giving players a full month to build their dream team and compete against opponents. Don’t miss out on this exciting event in Honkai: Star Rail!
