Official developer broadcast dedicated to update 2.5 "The Winged Beast and the Wolf Hunt" in Honkai: StarRail, was held on August 30. During the stream, the team working on the game revealed information about the main innovations that will be introduced with the release of the autumn update, 10 September 2024 years, - this time the patch release will take place one day earlier (accordingly, on Tuesday, not Wednesday).
As part of the version dedicated to Lofu Xianzhou, a new chain of missions of the continuation of the Development will be available for completion "Duel under the azure sky 2". "Star Express" will take direct part in the development of the conflict between the people and the escaped Borisinians, who managed to free the leader from captivity - a mighty wolf named Hulei. In addition, the Unnamed will take part in the "Martial Arts Ceremony", and will also be able to meet old friends who are members of different organizations.
Touching on the topic of "Event Jump: Character", the collection of legendary characters will be replenished with 5⭐ heroines such as Feixiao и Linsha. The new epic unit will be Mojie, who previously took an active part in the quests of the chain "Duel under the azure sky 1". As a result, the composition of the banners will be as follows:
- Phase I — Feixiao (Hunt: Windy), Kafka (Nothingness: Electric) Black Swan (Nothingness: Windy), Zaryanka (Harmony: Physical), Mojie (Hunting: Electric), Asta (Harmony: Fiery), Luke (Non-Being: Physical).
- Phase II — Linsha (Abundance: Fiery), Topaz and the Accountant (Hunt: Fire), Misha (Destruction: Icy) Natasha (Abundance: Physical) Guinaifen (Non-existence: Fiery).
As you can see, update 2.5 will see the return of four legendary characters at once - this moment is due to the release new type of banners in the first half of the version, which will allow you to get three heroines. In part, the mechanics will be similar to the "Prayer of the Chronicles" from Genshin impact, however, the current system will be more “gentle”.
As for the "Event Jumps: Light Cone" - banners will allow you to get:
- Phase I — signature weapons of legendary heroines "I'm going hunting" (Hunting), "Just have to wait" (Nothingness) "Altered Memories" (Nothingness) and "Fleeting Night Lights" (Harmony) and also epic light cones "Fencing" (Hunting), "Determination shines like pearls of sweat" (Nothingness) and "The Birth of the Self" (Erudition).
- Phase II — signature weapons of legendary heroines "Only the aroma will remain" (Abundance) and "Anxiety and Bliss" (Hunting) and also epic light cones "Hidden in the Night Shadow" (Hunting), "Shared Feelings" (Abundance) and "Date with the Stars" (Harmony).
Returning to the content, in addition to expanding the plot, a new level of activity is planned Echo of War. The boss will be Feixiao in her true general form: the girl will use an extensive list of attacks, some of which are absent in her "game" incarnation. The reward for successful completion is a new material for upgrading the "Soul Feathers" traces, which is necessary, for example, to upgrade Motse's abilities.
In turn, the continuation of the story campaign means the release of a new location, on the territory of which the “Martial Arts Ceremony” will subsequently take place - the ship "Sky Cleaver".
If we talk about temporary events that will fill the pastime after completing missions to continue the Development and exploration of new territories:
- "Star Martial Arts Ceremony" — the main event.
- "Full house" - a secondary event with various puzzles.
- "Planar Schism" - double rewards for completing the Worlds of the "Virtual Universe" and Dimensions of the "Divergent Universe".
- "Kingdom of Strangeness" - Double rewards for completing the Caves of Corrosion.
