HoYoverse officially revealed that the upcoming big update of Honkai: Star Rail, called 'Flying Aureus Shot to Lupine Rue,' will be launching on September 10, 2024. This update will push the game further in version 2.5 and incorporate new characters, new events and new things to do for players on all platforms, including PS5, Android, iOS, and PC.
New Characters in Version 2.5
This latest version 2.5 update will bring three additional playable characters, each having special powers and elemental types. Feixiao, also known as the Arbiter-General of Xianzhou Yaoqing, is a 5-Star Wind-element Hunt unit. She is a martial artist and highly proficient in performing follow-up attacks and landing hits that go through elemental resistances, adding considerable damage to any team. Lingsha, a character who will be rendered on the second main banner of the update, is a 5-Star Fire-element Abundance character. Lingsha, being the Cauldron Master, can command the special incense beast that breathes fire at the enemies and heals the allies in the course of the assault. Her ultimate ability significantly increases the effectiveness of breaking enemies, making her a valuable character for both offense and support.
Wardance Event on Xianzhou Luofu
With version 2.5 releasing a few new characters, an interesting new feature called the Wardance will also be introduced. The Wardance is a tournament set in the Xianzhou Luofu with unique fighting rules. This event follows the lecture plans in version 2.4 where the player, along with March 7th and Dan Heng, return to compete in the competition hosted at Luodo. However, the tournament is under the threat of the Borisin, an enemy faction of werewolf creatures that are fierce enemies of the Xianzhou Alliance. As the plans of the Borisin to sabotage the tournament come to light, players will be forced to ally with the fighters of Luofu and other Xianzhou nation ships to thwart these efforts.
Return of Popular Characters
Furthermore, along with the Wardance event, the update will also bring reruns of Warp banners for several popular characters. Players will look forward to summoning heroes like Robin, Black Swan, Kafka and Topaz & Numby, who are making a comeback in this update. These new banners allow players who have missed such characters in earlier runs to recruit these characters.
The Honkai: Star Rail 'Flying Aureus Shot to Lupine Rue' update promises numerous intriguing additions, from new characters to exciting events. Players will get to experience these new features on September 10, 2024.
