Players may see themselves forced to choose between Fugue and Firefly in Honkai: Star Rail 2.7 as the two 5-star characters are appearing in banners and there is always a limited number of free Primogems that can be obtained only from playing. Version 2.7 is the final patch in HoYoverse’s turn-based RPG before the introduction of Version 3.0 and Amphoreus, the next destination on the Astral Express’ expeditions. The arrival of Version 3.0 will significantly change things, as Amphoreus in Honkai: Star Rail 3.0 should also bring forth new mechanics, including Remembrance, the game’s first new playable Path since launch.

Fugue is a new 5-star Fire Nihility character introduced in Version 2.7. She operates as a support for Break Dmg team comps and automatically enables Super Break Dmg by being on the field. Firefly, on the other hand, was released in Version 2.3. The 5-star Fire character follows the Path of the Destruction and is a Break Dmg Dps.

Having to choose between Sunday and Jing Yuan Honkai: Star Rail 2.7’s Phase 1 banners can be a harsh task, especially when considering the limited number of Stellar Jade that one can acquire from gameplay, without purchasing more with real money. Version 2.7 has already been confirmed and detailed for HoYoverse’s turn-based RPG and, with them, the 5-star characters that will be made available in the gacha system for a limited time. The character banners for Honkai: Star Rail 2.7 have all been announced and they bring interesting new additions, as well as promising rerun characters.

Version 2.7 is the final patch before Version 3.0, which will kick off the RPG’s third year of content. HoYoverse has already confirmed that Version 3.0 will introduce a new playable Path, called Remembrance. This Path should be made available during the update with Aglaea and the Remembrance Trailblazer in Honkai: Star Rail 3.0. Remembrance’s specialty is summoning allies called memosprites,...

Character banners in Honkai: Star Rail 3.0 will undergo a major update, according to leaks. Currently, players have access to the possibility of obtaining four 5-star characters per patch. Phase 1 banners feature two 5-star units and when the update reaches its second half, the gacha system updates and the Phase 2 banners become available, removing the Phase 1 banners. As such, players have three weeks to pull for any 5-star character they desire. The Honkai: Star Rail 2.7 banners, for example, will feature Sunday and Jing Yuan in Phase 1, while Fugue and Firefly will appear in Phase 2.

This may change soon, according to new leaks that are being shared. The information was shared in a post flagged as Questionable on Reddit. The leak says that the banner events across all of HoYoverses games will be updated and that the changes in the turn-based RPG will commence in Version 3.0, which kicks off the titles third year of content.

New Honkai: Star Rail characters may revive a dormant gameplay mechanic with event-summoning abilities. Lingsha and Aglaea may have mechanics similar to Jing Yuan's Lightning-Lord for delayed powerful actions. There is potential for more varied follow-up attacks team compositions if the leaks about the new characters are accurate.

There are new Honkai: Star Rail character leaks following the reveal of several upcoming units. The turn-based RPG by HoYoverse is about to exit the main Penacony storyline with Version 2.3 and, despite the conclusion of the main story arc this year, there will be more story content until the start of Version 3.0 and, among that, new companions that Trailblazers will meet, as teased by a short and enigmatic video at the end of the Honkai: Star Rail 2.3 livestream. Now, leaks about some of these characters have emerged.

At the end of the livestream, seven new characters were teased, including the new...

Quick Links Best Light Cones For Argenti Best Relics, Ornaments, & Stats For Argenti Best Team Comps For Argenti Skill Priority For Argenti

Properly building Argenti in Honkai: Star Rail with the best Light Cones, Relics, and team comps can unlock the character’s potential as a main Dps. Argenti is a 5-star hero who uses Physical Dmg and follows the Path of the Erudition. While in the story itself, he is a follower of the Path of the Beauty, he embraces Erudition in his fighting style since Beauty is not a playable Path. Argenti is one of the playable characters in Honkai: Star Rail 1.5, along with Huohuo and Hanya. Different from both of them, which play support roles in teams, Argenti is focused on dealing damage to multiple enemies at once.

Argenti is different from several other Erudition characters, many of which rely on follow-up attacks to deal damage. Jing Yuan...

Farming the materials for Jingliu’s Ascension in Honkai: Star Rail is an important step in taking the Dps character closer to her full potential. Jingliu was first introduced as a character and Jing Yuan’s former master in a short promotional video, but later appeared in the game itself as an Npc that follows and then challenges Yanqing. Jingliu became available as a playable character in Honkai: Star Rail 1.4, along with Guinaifen and Topaz. She is a 5-star character who uses Ice in combat and follows the Path of the Destruction. Jingliu has a unique gameplay kit, which sees her drain the Hp of her own allies.

While Jingliu plays a risky game by pulling Hp from her party, this is compensated for in more damage output against her enemies. Even with the high risks she may pose, Jingliu has the potential to be one of the strongest Dps characters in Honkai: Star Rail,...

The Honkai: Star Rail 1.3 livestream will showcase new additions to the turn-based RPG, including character banners and potential story content. Viewers of the livestream can receive Stellar Jade, the currency used to buy Star Rail Special Passes for limited-time gacha banners. The livestream will feature guest appearances from new characters and potential story hints.

The Honkai: Star Rail 1.3 livestream has already been set and will showcase a few of the new additions that will be added to the turn-based RPG in the upcoming patch. As a live-service game, the title by HoYoverse regularly receives new bits of content through updates, and before every update, the developer demonstrates some parts of what will be added through a special showcase, which also features rewards for spectators.

This article may contain a few spoilers regarding the story content for Version 1.2.

Those watching the special event can receive Stellar Jade in Honkai: Star Rail,...

The Honkai: Star Rail Kafka cosplay accurately recreates Kafka's character design, including her outfit and weapons, and pays homage to the popular character. Kafka is a 5-star hero in the game and is known for her femme fatale inspiration and enigmatic relationship with the main character. She is also an outstanding playable character, specializing in dealing damage over time. Despite overlap with another main Dps character, Kafka's unique gameplay style and ability to intensify DoT damage make her worth pulling for in Honkai: Star Rail.

A cosplay for Honkai: Star Rail’s Kafka character has been celebrating the anti-hero’s release in the turn-based RPG and shows exactly why she is worth pulling for. Kafka is the first playable character in the game, as she is part of the prelude that leads to the main character’s creation. She is the one responsible for inserting a Stellaron inside the Trailblazer...

The details about Honkai: Star Rail 1.2, including the version’s release date, new characters, banner distribution, story missions, and planned events have been shared by developer HoYoverse. Every so often, the new turn-based RPG receives updates that bring new pieces of content for players to engage in, either through limited-time events or advances through the campaign. The game also introduces new characters for players to try to obtain – provided they can beat the drop rates in Honkai: Star Rail.

Each new playable character expands the roster and allows for different team comps to be tested out. By mixing and matching different heroes when building teams in Honkai: Star Rail, players can obtain different results in battles and thoroughly optimize their parties for specific activities offered in the title. The new characters in Honkai: Star Rail 1.2 are exciting additions due to how they operate.

Honkai: Star Rail 1.2 Release Date

As was...

The Honkai: Star Rail 1.2 livestream codes and their respective rewards can now be redeemed and claimed, respectively, though only for a short period of time. With every version livestream, developer HoYoverse shares a series of promo codes that players can redeem in order to get in-game prizes. It is a way of incentivizing fans to watch the livestream, as well as thank the community for their continued support. With the codes, players can obtain leveling items and Credits, but most importantly Stellar Jade.

Free Stellar Jade is a boon for all types of players, as it allows them to buy Star Rail Passes, which are used in the gacha system. With these items, they get a chance of obtaining limited-time characters and Light Cones, all of which can significantly improve how they play the game. The Honkai: Star Rail 1.2 livestream codes are a very limited offer. However, they should not be ignored,...

Only a few team comps in Honkai: Star Rail want Herta in their line-up since she is a low-tier character. Despite that, she's become a fan favorite due to her cute Japanese voice lines and importance to the overall lore. If players want to include this genius in their team comps, they'll need characters who can support her sub-dps tendencies.

Herta is ranked as the worst free character in Honkai: Star Rail. She is a 4-Star Ice character of the Erudition path focused on multi-target damage. Her advantage comes in when players wish to farm Calyxes. When an enemy drops below half health, Herta triggers a follow-up attack on all targets. Her team comps play into this mechanic.

How Herta Works In Team Comps

Erudition characters in Honkai: Star Rail, such as Qingque, Serval, or Jing Yuan, focus on dealing damage to multiple targets per attack. Herta's Skill, Ultimate, and...

The Honkai: Star Rail 1.2 livestream is approaching as players progress further into the content added to the game with Version 1.1. The turn-based RPG by developer HoYoverse is a live service title, which means it receives a regular flow of new content, which can include new missions, characters, events, and more. The game is still in its early stages, but it does seem to be following a path for content addition at a steady pace.

Although it has not yet been publicly announced by the developer, it is possible to predict when the Honkai: Star Rail 1.2 livestream is going to happen. In addition to that, it is also possible to speculate what will be shown during the event, mainly due to the enormous number of leaks that have been shared prior to the version’s release. There is a lot of information about the upcoming update and most of it seems...

The best team comps for Luocha in Honkai: Star Rail can see the character significantly improve his performance on the field and contribute as both a healer and damage dealer. Luocha is a 5-star hero that can only be obtained through his limited-time banners. The mysterious character uses Imaginary as his main Element and follows the Path of The Abundance. This means that Luocha is a specialist in healing his Honkai: Star Rail team comp, as well as using a fairly uncommon Element to help with the application of the Weakness Break debuff against opponents.

Luocha’s addition as a healer in Honkai: Star Rail 1.1 is greatly appreciated, as the game has a low number of characters dedicated to healing. At launch, for example, there were only two heroes: Natasha and Bailu. While Natasha could be obtained by any player for free, her healing capabilities are subpar. Bailu, on the other hand,...

The proper team comps for Silver Wolf in Honkai: Star Rail can make a significant difference in how she plays out and how the party handles more advanced and powerful opponents. Silver Wolf is the newest character to arrive with update 1.1 and is the first hero to expand the playable roster since the game launched in April. Players already had a chance to test the Stellaron Hunter before her release, however, as she is the second playable character that needs to be controlled during the early tutorial portion of the turn-based RPG.

Silver Wolf is a Nihility character in Honkai: Star Rail, which means her specialty is being a secondary source of damage while also debuffing opponents for the rest of the team to take advantage of. In a sense, she is a sub-dps and support-like hero. Additionally, she uses Quantum attacks, which makes her a valuable asset in a...

A new Honkai: Star Rail 1.2 leak is teasing an epic battle that involves Dan Heng and Jing Yuan. Even before the release of Honkai: Star Rail 1.1, there have been many leaks regarding Version 1.2, both in terms of obtainable content and story progression. A few of the Honkai: Star Rail 1.2 leaks point out all the characters that will become playable with the update. The most recent one, however, suggests that there will be new story content and these upcoming quests will have a major battle.

Version 1.1 is likely not receiving new main story content, according to HoYoverse. The lack of campaign progression will be compensated with many events in Honkai: Star Rail 1.1, including those involving new areas in all three major destinations currently available in the game. Nevertheless, the new Honkai: Star Rail 1.2 leaks seem to indicate that the campaign will continue, and it will feature both Dan Heng and Jing...

The aptly named Boulder Town Super League takes place in Boulder Town on Jarilo-vi in Honkai: Star Rail. This first event started on May 19, 2023, and lasts until June 6, 2023. This gives players slightly over two weeks to compete in the Boulder Town Super League and gather all materials. This is great because players will need to complete each round of the event quickly to earn every reward.

Before accessing the Boulder Town Super League Event, a few requirements need to be met. First, players must have achieved Trailblaze level 21. Second, the Fight Club must be accessible in Boulder Town. This is done by completing the Adventure Missions Ring and Stage 1, Ring and Stage II, and Gladiator. This quest chain becomes available when reaching the Trailblaze Mission, In the Sweltering Morning Sun. Luckily, this is not too far into the game, giving new players a chance to join the event. The Boulder...

Ascending Jing Yuan in Honkai: Star Rail is an essential step in continuing to level him and gaining access to the improvement of his Traces, also known as abilities, in the game. The general of the Cloud Knights in the Xianzhou Luofu is a 5-star Lightning character that follows The Erudition Path. This means that his specialty is dealing damage to multiple enemies at once through AoE (area of effect) attacks. Because of how he is played, Jing Yuan is best utilized as a sub-dps contributor in a Honkai: Star Rail team comp.

Before adequately inserting him into a party and using him on the battlefield, however, players will need to ascend Honkai: Star Rail’s Jing Yuan to guarantee he reaches the rest of the team’s average level and has the rest of his skills increased enough to make a difference. As players start to get up-to-date with the game’s content,...

Honkai: Star Rail’s release date was revealed by developer HoYoverse following the end of its final closed beta testing period. The game is a turn-based RPG from the same creators of the popular open-world RPG, Genshin Impact. Although Star Rail is, technically, part of the Honkai franchise, it is something of a side story, told apart from the Honkai Impact series. The title follows the adventures of the main character, known as the Trailblazer, along with the many allies they make along the way – particularly, those of the Astral Express, such as Himeko, Dan Heng, and March 7th, for instance.

Much like Genshin Impact, the acquisition of new characters and weapons (Light Cones) in Honkai: Star Rail is through a gacha system, in which players pull for characters based on both their luck and their pity count. With Honkai: Star Rail’s release date now broadly known, it will...
