Story mission Finest Duel Under the Pristine Blue: Part 1

1) The next chapter in the Trailblazer’s journey unfolds amidst the Wardance martial arts event. Attendees hailing from far-off galaxies gather, yet some harbor questionable motives. Although the primary objective involves engaging in honest combat and showcasing exceptional martial arts skills, not all participants adhere to the established code of conduct.

An additional mission to the primary Trailblaze objective is called Swords to Plowshares by Yunli. During a unique ceremony, a Xianzhou sword needs to be handed back. Yunli extends an invitation for the Trailblazer to join this significant event.

New characters in Honkai: Star Rail 2.4

In the latest update, version 2.4 of Honkai: Star Rail, players can anticipate receiving fresh playable characters and an array of exceptional skills they possess. Who are these upcoming characters?

Character Event Warp Phase 1

From Version 2.4 onward, until August 21st, you’ll be able to acquire the new 5-star character, Yunli, and a 5-star character re-run, Huohuo, using Star Rail Special Passes.

Along with the highly-regarded Honkai: Star Rail characters, the initial phase of Version 2.4 character event introduces three characters of four-star rarity.

1. In the game Honkai: Star Rail, Yunli wields a greatsword and specializes in inflicting significant damage. Using her ability Technique Posterior Precedence, she automatically targets a random enemy. Furthermore, her talent Flashforge serves as a counter-strike, causing physical damage to adversaries.

1. Yunli’s Talent, Bloodborne Quake, regenerates HP and assaults several enemies simultaneously. The ultimate move, Earthbind, Earthbreak, provokes all adversaries and grants Yunli a Parry. Additionally, the character’s counterattacks inflict increased CRIT damage.

Even though she appears delicate as a young girl, Yunli is surprisingly robust within the game of Honkai: Star Rail. She serves as an effective power source for any team in this game.

Character Event Warp Phase 2

From the 21st of August until the 9th of September marks the duration of Honkai: Star Rail’s 2.4 Character Event, phase two. During this time, players can meet a fresh addition to the roster, Jiaoqiu, and welcome back Sparkle for another round.

As for the 4-star character in phase 2, you can get:

Jiaoqiu scorches enemies with his flames, inflicting gradual damage through Ashen Roast instead of dealing heavy destruction like Firefly does.

If Jiaoqiu uses his skill, Technique Fiery Queller, before battle begins, he can scorch all adversaries with Fire damage through it. The odds of employing this ability are enhanced by utilizing the skill Scorch Onslaught.

The ability called Ashen Roast is included in Jiaoqiu’s repertoire of talents. Activating Pyrograph Arcanum, the ultimate skill, not only deals fire damage but also enhances the number of stacks of Ashen Roast.

An updated variant of March 7th, introduced in Version 2.4, is now accessible. This character can be found on the Hunt path and is fictional. In order to unveil her, you must finish a specific mission first. Once achieved, you will gain the ability to toggle between two different versions of Honkai: Star Rail’s March 7th.

New Light Cones in Honkai: Star Rail 2.4

Alongside character event warps, players can participate in special Light Cone banners.

Light Cone Event Warp Phase 1

In the style of Honkai: Star Rail’s 2.4 phase 1 character banners, this Light Cone event lasts from July 31 to August 21. It introduces a fresh 5-star Light Cone named Dance at Sunset and includes previously released Light Cones for players to enjoy once more.

As a gamer, I’ve noticed that the 4-star Light Cones from these event banners are exactly the same. You can snag them both, complete with warps, for the Dance at Sunset and Night of Fright events!

The set 4-star Light Cones includes one new. It is available in both banners of phase 2.

New area and new creatures

Honkai: Star Rail 2.4 introduces a new area to explore.

Also, you will be able to meet new types of opponents.

Events in Version 2.4
