Honkai Star Rail 2.1 Banner Leaked
A recent tweet from @RianBeatergod02 on Twitter provides a glimpse into the Honkai Star Rail 2.1 banner, featuring Acheron, a much-anticipated character, and the new 5-star Preservation character Aventurine, focused on supporting the team. Moreover, Phase 1 or 2 of the HSR 2.1 banner will also include Gallagher, the future 4-star Abundance character.
Together with Acheron and Aventurine, Fu Xuan and Topaz will also have rerun banners in version 2.1 and the Honkai Star Rail’s first anniversary celebrations may also be included in the 2.1 update.
Honkai Star Rail 2.1 Banner Order
The leak outlines Acheron and FuXuan in the first half, while Aventurine and Topaz will feature in the second half of the Honkai Star Rail 2.1 banner. Moreover, since the community was anticipating Topaz to run again under the Honkai Star Rail 2.1 banner, the leak does appear credible, however, people in the community were still unsure about the other 5-star rerun (whether it will be FuXuan or Luocha).
New 5-Star Characters in Honkai Star Rail 2.1 Banner
Acheron in phase 1 of HSR 2.1 banner:
The first Honkai Star Rail 2.1 banner features Acheron. Acheron is a well-known character in Interspace who is named the Space Ranger and specializes in the Hunt Path. It is anticipated that she will make his appearance sometime in late March or early April of 2024.
Based on leaks, it is Acheron’s responsibility to launch quick attacks and deal a lot of damage. Applying a stacking debuff, symbolized by flowers, to enemies gradually is the core of Acheron’s powers. She gains power as the number of flowers grows, and eventually, her powerful ultimate ability can be unlocked.
Aventurine in phase 1 of HSR 2.1 banner:
The second one appearing on the Honkai Star Rail 2.1 banner is called Aventurine. She stands out among the other 5 stars, thanks to her unique ability set and the Imaginary element. Topaz has made references to Aventurine in the game, and Gallagher will be one of the four stars featured on Aventurine’s banner.
Based on leaks, Aventurine is an excellent team player who uses his special talents to provide strong defense and support for the whole group. His basic attacks deal damage according to his defense stat, while his talents create special shields for teammates that can take a lot of damage.
Honkai Star Rail 2.1 Banner Release Date
If all goes according to the usual schedule, Honkai Star Rail 2.1 banner should be released on March 26, 2024. The next batch of trailblaze missions from the Penacony arc will also be included in the updated edition, which is expected to provide more insight into Firefly’s demise, Acheron’s true identity, and Duke Inferno’s present situation, according to recent rumors.
Overall, players may look forward to new possibilities with the next Honkai Star Rail 2.1 banners, which feature Acheron and Aventurine. Acheron is a compelling option for DPS roles in team compositions because she combines elegance and powerful gameplay. Aventurine, at the same time, excels at encouraging teamwork within HSR by putting his special skills to use by providing the team with strong support and defense.
