HoYoverse has announced that Honkai Star Rail version 2.5 will launch on September 10, 2024.

The Honkai Star Rail update, titled “Flying Aureus Shot to Lupine Rue,” introduces the eagerly awaited Wardance ceremony, the opportunity to recruit new five-star characters, and much more.

Feixiao, the Merlin’s Claw of Xianzhou Yaoqing and one of the Seven Arbiter-Generals will enter the battlefield as a 5-star playable character. After her teammates strike an enemy, she follows up with a powerful attack. She accumulates “Flying Aureus” with every few attacks, and when she uses her Ultimate, Feixiao consumes the Flying Aureus and carries out a series of powerful attacks on the enemy with her gunblades or battle-axe.

Another highly anticipated five-star character from the Xianzhou allies, Lingsha, will join the playable roster. Lingsha stands out with her ability to summon Fuyuan, an incense beast that assists in combat, but dissipates after a few actions. Lingsha can use her Skill to extend Fuyuan’s actions, allowing it to perform follow-up attacks. When Lingsha uses her Ultimate, she deals damage to all enemies, heals all allies, and inflicts the Befog state, which increases Break damage on enemies.

In addition, Moze, the 4-star Shadow Guard of the Yaoqing, will make his debut as a playable character. In battle, he marks a single enemy as the Prey and then enters the Departed state while the Prey is on the field. After allies attack the Prey, Moze deals additional damage. Additionally, Moze’s Ultimate deals DMG to enemies and launches a follow-up attack.

A special Warp Event will kick off in the first half of Honkai Star Rail Version 2.5, featuring the return of limited 5-star characters Robin, Black Swan, and Kafka. The Warp count for the guaranteed 5-star will be shared across rerun and current limited banners. Switching banners won’t reset the guarantee count. In the second half of Version 2.5, the limited 5-star character Topaz will have a rerun.

Honkai Star Rail version 2.5 will launch on September 10, 2024.
