Insiders have revealed paid buffs for three characters in HSR.

With the release of the 4.X update cycle, the community Honkai: StarRail Rumors about "paid" character enhancements began to appear. With the release 4.5 version "Bets in the City of a Thousand Stars" insiders Sun и Sakura Haven The names of the heroes who will be the first to receive changes have been revealed:

• Jing Yuan (Erudition: Lightning);
• Dan Heng: Moon Eater (Destruction: Imaginary);
• Acheron (Nihility: Lightning).

The new bonuses will be significantly different from the classic "New Flash" upgrade system. Presented as "equipment," they will introduce changes to skill animations and mechanics:

General Jing Yuan	When the Lightning Lord's attack count reaches 10 or more, his next action is significantly boosted, increasing his attack count to 16.
Nameless Dan Heng	At the start of combat, the Moon Eater gains a temporary bonus that increases its damage dealt by 200% of its original value. When a character spends enough skill points on a basic attack, they automatically perform an additional attack on all enemies. Basic attack Beneficent Lotus will gain another type of explosive attack, which is used when consuming 4 skill points.
Galactic Ranger Acheron	Once per turn, Acheron can perform a bonus attack of four consecutive Electric-type AoE strikes if the enemy is attacked with The Crimson Knot. The heroine will also gain a new unique counter, which fills by 1 after performing a bonus attack. When the counter reaches 3, a new super ability becomes available. The accumulated resource for the standard ultimate "A shattered dream, scarlet tears" saved.

This is early information about future changes. Everything may change by the time of release.

These major changes should restore the strength of these characters against the backdrop of new heroes and Paths, as well as make them more competitive in the meta. As reported by DK2, one of three buffs will succeed pick up for free, but what the main method of obtaining it will be and what “equipment” means in insider messages remains unknown.
