Prepare for an epic new chapter in Honkai: Star Rail! HoYoverse has officially announced that Version 2.5, titled “Flying Aureus Shot to Lupine Rue,” will launch on September 10. This exciting update brings thrilling new gameplay, fascinating characters, and intense battles to the Xianzhou Luofu, where the journey continues with fresh challenges and rewards.
Wardance Ceremony & New Challenges Await
In this update, the highly anticipated Wardance Ceremony makes its debut, offering players a chance to participate in this prestigious Xianzhou Luofu event. As Trailblazers engage in the Wardance, they’ll encounter new adversaries and unravel hidden stories in the vast, mysterious Luofu world.
But the Wardance is just the beginning. Players will soon face new and powerful enemies as part of the story’s latest developments, including a formidable prison break in The Shackling Prison that prompts an immediate response from the Cloud Knights. Led by the newest 5-star recruit, General Feixiao, the Cloud Knights set out to capture the escaped criminals, while General Jing Yuan and General Huaiyan take charge of investigating the deeper secrets that lie within the prison.
Meet the New 5-Star Characters: Feixiao, Lingsha & Moze
Version 2.5 introduces several incredible new characters to your roster, each with unique abilities and roles that will transform your gameplay:
1. Feixiao – The Vanquishing General
One of the most anticipated arrivals is Feixiao, the Merlin’s Claw of Xianzhou Yaoqing and one of the Seven Arbiter-Generals. As a 5-star character, Feixiao is a master of martial arts, known for her commanding presence on the battlefield. With her “Flying Aureus” skill, she follows up on her allies’ attacks with devastating strikes, accumulating power for even stronger follow-ups.
Her Ultimate ability consumes Flying Aureus to unleash a flurry of attacks that not only devastate her enemies but also bypass their weaknesses and increase Weakness Break Efficiency. She will also introduce a new challenge: Echo of War: Inner Beast’s Battlefield, where players will face her shadow and test their mettle against the Ecliptic Inner Beast.
2. Lingsha – The Alchemy Master
Joining the roster is Lingsha, the Cauldron Master from the Alchemy Commission of the Xianzhou Luofu. Known for her calm demeanor and keen sense of smell, Lingsha excels in healing and supporting her team in battle. Her ability to summon Fuyuan, an incense beast, adds a unique tactical element to battles, allowing her to dispel debuffs, heal allies, and deal damage to enemies.
Lingsha’s Ultimate not only heals and buffs your team but also inflicts the Befog state on enemies, increasing the damage they take from Break effects. As a skilled healer and support unit, she ensures your team remains strong in the toughest battles.
3. Moze – The Silent Shadow Guard
Lastly, the 4-star character Moze, a reticent and enigmatic Shadow Guard from the Yaoqing, will join the fray. Moze operates in secrecy, marking a single target as Prey and entering the Departed state, where he deals extra damage after allies attack his marked target. His ultimate skill delivers a powerful blow, followed by additional attacks that bring a new level of strategy to your party’s setup.
