Aptitude Showcase - Yunli - Honkai: Star - Version 3.1

The Aptitude Showcase featuring Yunli in Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.1 is part of a recurring Character Trial event that allows players to test out promoted characters in a special domain. In this event, Yunli, a 5-star Physical character following the Path of Destruction, is one of the highlighted characters available for trial during Phase 1 of Version 3.1, which began on February 25, 2025, for the NA server (and February 26, 2025, for Asia/EU servers). This showcase coincides with her rerun banner, "Earth Hurled, Ether Curled," available from February 25, 2025, to March 19, 2025 (UTC-5).
In the Aptitude Showcase, players can use Yunli alongside other trial characters—such as Tribbie, Hook, Lynx, and Guinaifen in Phase 1—to experience her gameplay mechanics in pre-set stages. Yunli’s combat style focuses on counterattacks and follow-up damage, leveraging her Ultimate to enter a "Parry" state that taunts enemies and enhances her counters. Completing these trials for the first time rewards players with items like Stellar Jades, Credits, and Character Ascension Materials. The event is designed to give Trailblazers a hands-on opportunity to explore her kit, which includes high-damage Physical counters and self-sustain through HP restoration, all while her stats are fixed for the trial.
This showcase is particularly relevant as Yunli’s rerun banner in Version 3.1 marks her return after her initial release in Version 2.4, offering players a chance to try her out before deciding to pull for her. The event is active as of the current date, March 21, 2025, falling within the banner’s duration, making it a timely opportunity to test her capabilities against Version 3.1’s content.
