Aptitude Showcase - Hook - Honkai: Star Rail - Version 3.1

In Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.1, the Aptitude Showcase is a recurring Character Trial event that allows players to test out specific characters featured in the current Character Event Warp banners. For Version 3.1, Hook, a 4-star Fire element character following the Path of Destruction, is one of the featured characters available in the Phase 1 trials, alongside Tribbie, Yunli, Lynx, and Guinaifen. This event began on February 25, 2025, for the NA server (February 26, 2025, for EU and Asia servers) and runs until March 19, 2025, aligning with the Phase 1 banner schedule.
In the Aptitude Showcase, Hook is provided as a trial character with fixed combat stats, and players cannot use consumables during the challenges. The event offers a special domain where you can experience Hook’s gameplay, focusing on her ability to deal single-target and AoE Fire damage, as well as inflict Burn DoTs (Damage over Time). Completing her trial for the first time rewards players with items such as Stellar Jades, Credits, and Character Ascension Materials. This setup allows you to explore Hook’s kit—her strong single-target DPS potential against Fire-weak enemies and her Burn-focused abilities—without needing to own or build her yourself.
Hook’s inclusion in the Version 3.1 Aptitude Showcase ties into her featured status as a 4-star rate-up character on Tribbie’s banner, "Back to Fons et Origo," making her a relevant trial option for players considering her potential in their teams. If you’re looking to try her out, head to the event in-game during the Phase 1 period and tackle her designated challenge!
