2023 was the year for Honkai: StarRail extremely successful and memorable. The game now features many colorful locations filled with varied content. Thanks to them, the Pathfinder was able to personally meet representatives of various factions who are likely to receive personal limited “Jumps”, as well as learn many intriguing details about future characters through additional dialogues with NPCs, reading notes and item descriptions. This information allows us to guess which heroes will be added in future updates.
In this article, we will look at the 5 most anticipated characters that will become playable in 2024. The list is based on the opinion of the site’s editors; in the comments you can suggest your own options for the heroes you are looking forward to more than others.
Black Swan
Black Swan - already announced for update 2.0 the heroine who follows Paths of Nothingness and has wind element. She is a soothsayer and mysterious guardian of the “Garden of Memories”, previously met in the official trailer for “Parable of the Stars”, where she explained to the Pathfinders the meaning of the Paths, which are closely intertwined with their past, present and future. Will personally appear before the crew of the Star Express in the story campaign Penaconia: the girl is also invited by the Family to a banquet, which will be held at the Dreams Hotel.
Like other representatives of the Path of Non-existence, he will “play” from the imposition of various negative statuses. For example, the negative bonus “Exposure” from a superpower will increase all damage incoming to the enemy. In addition, it is worth noting that the Black Swan is an excellent companion for Kafka. The main feature of the character involves the imposition of the “Communion” status, which reinforces the power of effects on periodic damage.
Acheron
Acheron - a galaxy ranger and also one of the most anticipated heroes, since she is the reincarnation character of the Valkyrie Raiden Mei from the game “Honkai Impact 3rd”. First shown in the trailer for TGA 2023 "A story that never gets boring" in the guise of a tall girl, dressed in an unusual outfit and using a katana as a weapon.
At the moment, due to the presence of a minimum number of leaks, it is difficult to guess what kind of character and what kind of history the girl will have. However, it is known that she will become a follower Paths of Nothingness, attacking enemies electric damage type. If we recall the initial concepts, then in comparison with other representatives of its class, Acheron will act as the main DPS character, who “plays” by inflicting massive damage and imposing various negative statuses that delay the actions of opponents.
Sunday
First appearing on the official broadcast of the developers dedicated to the release of the Crown of Mortal and Divine update, Sunday hooked a large percentage of the audience awaiting the release Penaconia. The man not only talked about the guests, who, like the Star Express crew members, would arrive at the banquet, but also shared some facts about the planet. However, he hid information about his identity, which aroused public interest.
Currently, the only thing that can be said about Sunday is that he is the leader of the Family and is respected by many of his superiors, as well as the people of Penaconia. As for character, the hero evokes conflicting opinions: on the one hand, the character seems benevolent, on the other, he is clearly hiding something.
Description of Sunday's personality, which was published by a Chinese insider StepLeaker: “Appeals with such concepts as virtue, vice, retribution, compassion. Controls the thoughts of people around and is a representative of the Family.”
Presumably will become the 5⭐️ hero Paths of the Hunt and owner ice element.
Sam
Sam - mysterious representative of the organization "Stellaron Hunters". Was first shown in the official trailer "Jepell's Rebellion - Scene 47" as a kind of “humanoid” of large build, the true shell of which is hidden under massive metal armor. It is believed that Sam has some kind of connection with a young member of the Iris clan, firefly: Many theories have been built around the characters. For example, some suggest that Firefly and Sam are one, that is, they are one hero.
Sam is another legendary representative Paths of Destruction, capable of dealing damage to both single targets and an area. Probably the main element will be fire damage type. Similarly Blade, the main characteristic for building up will be health, an important indicator will also be speed. The superpower will allow the Molten Knight to enter an enhanced state, which will improve the hero's skill.
Skrullum
Skrullum - mechanical aristocrat, one of the creators "virtual universe" and 76 member of the "Society of Geniuses" faction, which attracted the attention of many players after the release of the companion mission "The Spirit of Panklord". He is described by his colleagues as “a gentleman with an exceptional mechanical mind,” which the robot demonstrated more than once during his personal meetings with the Pathfinder. For example, within the Development chain "The Crown of Mortal and Divine" also showed his best qualities and put up worthy resistance Dr. Ratio.
Presumably is a character 5-star rarity, has imaginary element and walks along Paths of Erudite. Basic skills, based on class affiliation, specialize in dealing damage to groups of enemies. The peculiarity of the talent, in turn, lies in the set of “Accuracy” levels. When the maximum number of them is accumulated, it will be able to enter into a strengthened form, during which it will perform bonus attacks.

I who let it all go to Blade instead of Swan...
At first I was really looking forward to the swan, but since she plays well only with Kafka, I’ll skip her and wait for Acheron, I don’t have Kafka and won’t have one
Sunday is cute, I'm really looking forward to it
I'm looking forward to Jing Yuan and Sam
I'm waiting for it to fall out Skrullum и Sam)))
In general, I’m not looking forward to Lebed, anyone who doesn’t have Kafka can safely skip it, unless you like it. It didn’t work for me personally, I can’t say about others. The same Acheron and Sunday will be much more versatile and interesting in terms of mechanics.
I'm waiting for everyone, but I'm especially interested in Sam
I'm waiting for Skrullum. Hope it comes out soon :_
