The next Honkai: Star Rail banners are just around the corner with update 2.4 bringing us away from Penacony and back to the Xianzhou Luofu. Naturally, this means that the upcoming Honkai: Star Rail characters in version 2.4 are related to the mighty Xianzhou Alliance: We have Yunli, the beloved granddaughter of General Huaiyan of the Xianzhou Zhuming, and Jiaoqiu, a Foxian healer from the Xianzhou Yaoqing, to start with.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Honkai: Star Rail 2.4 character banners as well as the available Light Cones.
Starting on July 31, 2024, with HSR 2.4’s release, you’ll be able to call upon the following characters:
Yunli works somewhat similar to Clara in that she’s primarily dealing damage through counters. Facilitating this combat style are her Ultimate, which taunts enemies, and Skill, which enables Yunli to restore some of her own HP. However, she’s also a bit unpredictable, attacking foes at random if none move against her after she’s taunted them.
Huohuo remains one of the most powerful healers in the game, bringing enormous amounts of HP restoration without requiring too many Skill Points. What’s more, she’s one of the strongest cleansers available, freeing allies from debuffs and crowd control effects outside of her turn – an extremely valuable ability.
Phase 2 will begin on August 21, 2024, and run for three weeks from that point on. You’ll be able to get the following characters in this time period:
Jiaoqiu is a classic DoT character, inflicting enemies with damaging debuffs that become more and more effective as the stacks increase. His Ultimate not only continues to spread even more debuffs on the enemy, but boosts everyone’s Ultimate Damage, giving him a bit of a support role.
Sparkle is able to provide a massive amount of Skill Points to her team as well as advancing an ally’s turn forward, providing them with additional offensive capabilities.
Update 2.4 will also see the release of March 7th (The Hunt), but this alternate form of the Astral Express member will be free to unlock through the story – you won’t need to pull for her.
