As the dust settles around Planarcadia, a shadowed figure emerges, weaving secrets into the fabric of the storyline. She’s not just another character; Pearl has arrived in Honkai Star Rail, and her presence stirs anticipation. Will she be a savior or a saboteur? Buckle up, because we’re about to unravel everything you need to know about this intriguing addition.
Who is Pearl in Honkai Star Rail?
Pearl is one of the Ten Stonehearts in the IPC, holding the position of P45 senior manager in the Strategic Investment Department. A clever Intellitron from Planet Screwllum, she’s orchestrating the management of Planarcadia with an intellect that could rival the sharpest blades. Pearl’s ambition spun its web in the Phantasmoon games, where she aimed to oversee it all by collecting masks like a collector hoards rare stamps.

But as with all intricate plans, things fell apart when unexpected Suplicants joined the fray, leaving Pearl with only three masks. In a surprising twist, she opted to barter one mask with Silver Wolf, granting her passage into the Phantasmoon games. What drives this cunning strategist?
Her intelligence isn’t just a tool; it shapes the upcoming trailblazing missions in Planarcadia. Yet, her true allegiance remains a riddle. Are you ready to take bets on whether Pearl will thwart the Nameless or stand by their side? I sense she’ll bring more than just chaos to their journey, perhaps becoming a formidable opponent.
When Will Pearl Become Playable in Honkai Star Rail?

Initially, whispers circulated that Pearl would step onto the playable stage in the Honkai Star Rail 4.1 update. However, new data suggests she won’t hit the circuit just yet. The recent promotional content for Planarcadia lacked any reference to her, indicating that players may not see her until at least version 4.4.
As the game gears up for the Astropolis phase in the latter half of 4.x, which serves as the IPC’s hub, there’s a strong possibility that Pearl could join the roster around versions 4.5 to 4.7. Are you ready for her to enter the fray?
Honkai Star Rail Pearl’s Kit, Element, Rarity, and Path
Currently, specifics regarding Pearl’s kit, element, rarity, and path are shrouded in mystery. Although the details remain under wraps, one can speculate she will likely be classified as a 5-star character, considering her narrative significance. If she does become playable, there’s a chance she could embrace the role of a Preservation character. But only time will tell.
