With the 2.3 update of Honkai Star Rail now released, fans are eagerly anticipating more leaks about the 2.4 version of the acclaimed RPG. As 2.3 marks the final patch for Penacony, evident from its title “Farewell, Penacony,” HoYoVerse, the developers behind Honkai Star Rail and the critically acclaimed Genshin Impact, is temporarily concluding this story arc.

The upcoming update, Honkai Star Rail 2.4, will take players to a familiar location, introducing new adventures and resolving existing plot threads. Players struggling with endgame content can draw new characters from each update, thanks to Honkai: Star Rail Top Up that provide Oneiric Shards at an affordable price, increasing the chances of obtaining four-star or even five-star characters.

Release Date for Honkai Star Rail 2.4
While HoYoVerse hasn't officially announced the release date for Version 2.4, leaks and past update schedules suggest it will likely launch around July 30, 2024. HoYoVerse maintains a strict six-week release cycle, making this date probable. This period gives players ample time to tackle endgame challenges or bosses, possibly with help from pre-existing HSR accounts available for purchase at U7BUY, which include previously missed banners.

Leaked Characters for Version 2.4
Players can expand their character collections through the HSR Shop in the app, where new and sought-after characters might be drawn. Leaks indicate multiple characters will be available in this update:

  ● Yunli: A Physical 5-Star banner following the Path of Destruction, highly popular among fans with guaranteed pulls and draws.
  ● Jiaoqiu: A Fire 5-Star banner following the Path of Nihility, featuring a unique banner.
  ● Huohuo: A Wind 5-Star character following the Path of Abundance, returning in this update. As a valuable healer, Huohuo also debuffs enemies and buffs allies, significantly impacting gameplay.

Additionally, March 7th is getting new form switch animations akin to the Trailblazer, featuring unique Trees and Eidolons. Her new form includes an Enhanced Basic ATK capable of decimating enemies in one strike.

Setting of Honkai Star Rail 2.4
With the conclusion of Penacony's story in version 2.3, version 2.4 will bring players back to Xianzhou Loufu. This return is necessary to address unresolved plot points surrounding Jing Yuan, Luocha, and Jingliu, who are also featured in new banners. The 2.4 update aims to provide clarity and resolution to the disconnected Xianzhou arc.

New Characters Debuting in Honkai Star Rail 2.4:
 ●Feixiao: Arbiter-General of the Xianzhou Yaoqing, known as Merlin's Claw.
 ●Jiaoqiu: Advisor to Feixiao, responsible for her food and health.
 ●Yunli: A swordmaster visiting Xianzhou Luofu and the beloved adopted granddaughter of General Huaiyan.
 ●Huaiyan: Arbiter-General governing the Xianzhou Zhuming, known as the Flaming Heart.

Honkai: Star Rail 2.4 Yunli's Leaked Assist Skill
According to information obtained by a leaker named HomDGCat, Yunli will participate in special story-exclusive battles added in version 2.4. Although Yunli is a support skill, the leaked story-exclusive ability may not be good news for players. According to the leaker, Yunli and Yanqing will have a friendly match to see how many enemies each can defeat. Players will allegedly side with Yanqing, although they can fight with their own team lineup. Meanwhile, as the leaked information shows, in Honkai Impact 3, Yunli will appear at fixed intervals of 60 SPD to deal physical damage to enemies, most likely AoE (area of effect). Therefore, if the player fails to eliminate the target quickly, Yunli may suddenly appear and snatch the enemy, thus increasing her number. According to the leaker, if the player defeats more enemies than Yunli, Yanqing will be considered the winner, and vice versa. The exact outcome of Yanqing or Yunli's victory is unknown, but it will not affect the story too much, because the game does not have large branching paths-sometimes, players will make dialogue choices in Honkai Impact 3, although the differences are limited to the present.

These additions promise to enrich the storyline and gameplay of Honkai Star Rail, providing players with fresh challenges and characters to explore.
