Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.5 “Flying Aureus Shot to Lupine Rue” update will release on 10th September 2024

As a seasoned Honkai: Star Rail player with countless hours spent navigating through dimensions and saving humanity, I am thrilled about the upcoming Version 2.5 banner! The debut of Lingsha, a five-star Fire character on the Path of Abundance, is particularly intriguing. Her ability to summon Fuyuan, an incense beast, seems like a game-changer in terms of survivability support and combat efficiency.


On September 10th, 2024, HoYoverse is planning to roll out the “Flying Aureus Shot to Lupine Rue” update for Honkai: Star Rail. This update includes the introduction of the Wardance Ceremony, along with several new characters. Among these are two 5-star characters, Feixiao and Lingsha, and a 4-star character named Moze. Moreover, a fresh Echo of War boss will be integrated into the game as well.

Simultaneously, the Luminary Wardance prepares to blaze in Version 2.5, bringing back beloved characters such as Luka, who makes his debut visit to Xianzhou Luofu, among the multitude of attendees.

New Pet System in version 2.5

Participating in Luminary Wardance actions grants an opportunity to acquire the delightful pet “Tuskpir” as your ally. With the Honkai: Star Rail 2.5 update, a novel pet system has been introduced, showcasing Tuskpir – a miniature tapir-esque creature with soft pink fur and windy traits. This companion will accompany you on your journey and exhibit adorable idle actions.

If you enjoy the companion systems in previous HoYoverse games, this might pique your interest. Unlike transient companions such as Peppy and Diting, Tuskpir seems to occupy a more permanent space, indicated by its placement in a separate “Pet” section. What’s more, Tuskpir has an intriguing backstory, including the capacity to feed on negative feelings. Prepare for the introduction of the new pet system in Version 2.5.

Echo of War Boss: Feixiao

In Version 2.5 of Honkai: Star Rail, Feixiao will play a pivotal role, appearing as a playable character and the new Echo of War antagonist. This update also introduces “The Inner Beast’s Battlefield” battle, where players will square off against a darkened version of Feixiao as the main opponent. This intense clash is further amplified by the emergence of the Flying Aureus-Ecliptic Inner Beast, making this encounter all the more difficult for players.

Overcoming these two formidable adversaries is vital if you wish to acquire precious Trace materials. These materials are indispensable for improving characters like Moze and Lingsha.

Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.5 update will feature two new playable characters and reruns

1. Feixiao

Feixiao is a character of exceptional caliber within the Wind faction along the Trail of Combat. She shines most when taking down individual opponents, making her an invaluable asset in battles against bosses. Her skillset revolves around gathering Aureus in Flight form, which amplifies the potency of her lethal attacks using gunblades or a battle-axe.

This lessens an opponent’s durability and improves the effectiveness of Weak Point exploitation. You can anticipate Feixiao to make its debut during the initial portion of the version 2.5 banner on or around September 10th, 2024.

2. Lingsha

In Version 2.5, you’ll find Lingsha, a five-star Fire character on the Path of Abundance. Her abilities primarily focus on enhancing survivability, offering significant support for the team’s protection and healing during tough confrontations, making her an indispensable asset.

People are eagerly waiting for Lingsha’s arrival because she has the power to summon Fuyuan, a combat-assisting incense beast. This creature helps in battle by removing debuffs from allies, healing them, and attacking enemies. If you’re planning on recruiting Lingsha, she is expected to make her debut sometime between Late September and Early October 2024.

3. Moze

Moze, a fresh 4-star character in Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.5, is recognized as the Shadow Guard of Yaoqing for his covert and independent demeanor. In combat, he tags an opponent as Prey, inflicting extra damage after teammates make their attacks. His ultimate skill underscores accuracy and strategy, executing a secondary strike.

4. Robin, Black Swan, Kafka, and Topaz Rerun

In Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.5, the rotating banners will showcase the comeback of multiple beloved five-star characters. One notable Physical character from the Path of Harmony is Robin, who shines in offering boosts and assistance while dishing out powerful physical attacks. Meanwhile, on the Path of Nihility, we have the Wind character Black Swan, famed for her debuffing and enemy management skills, making her an excellent choice for tactical gameplay.

As a gamer, I’m super excited about Kafka, my new Lightning companion on the Path of Nihility in our game. He’s got some serious skills when it comes to causing status effects and controlling the battlefield. The best part? You can start using him in the first half of Version 2.5, which is slated for around September 10, 2024. And if that wasn’t enough, Topaz, a fiery 5-star character from the Path of Hunt, is set to make a comeback after the first half, along with the Lingsha banner. Can’t wait!
