Honkai Star Rail 2.4 Banners Officially Revealed
With the official release of the drip marketing for Yunli and Jiaoqiu, two new 5-star characters, HoYoverse has confirmed that they are included in the HSR 2.4 banners.
HSR Yunli
Yunli is the newest five-star character that Honkai: Star Rail will be getting. We now know that she will be a 5-star physical character who chooses to follow the path of Destruction thanks to her drip marketing.
Though little is known about Yunli's kit at this time, rumors suggest that she will function as a combination of Blade and Clara, concentrating on strong AOE follow-up attacks and having an HP drain mechanism.
In case you're curious, the voices of HSR Yunli in English are provided by Brenna Larsen, in Chinese he is voiced by Liu Wen, in Japanese by Wakayama Shion, and in Korean by Lee Ju-eun.
HSR Jiaoqiu
Excitement can be felt throughout the Honkai: Star Rail community since Jiaoqiu, the male Foxian healer, was revealed. Players are excited to learn more about his powers and past as his pink hair and closed eyelids are quite attractive.
According to Jiaoqiu's drip marketing, he is the first 5-star Fire Nihility unit in the game and, after Guinaifen, the second character in that Path/Element combination. In addition, he is the first male Foxian—a race from the Luofu—that we can play. The advertising drip also says that he likes to experiment with spicy food, which suggests that he will probably work with Burn in some capacity, just like Guinaifen did.
To quell your curiosity, Mark Whitten provides HSR Jiaoqiu's English voice, Chen Zhangtaikang does the same in Chinese, Toyonaga Toshiyuki does it in Japanese, and Lee Jung-min does so in Korean.
Leaks have partially disclosed the identities of the new characters, but no details about the characters on Yunli and Jiaoqiu's banner or the introduction of a new 4-star character are available yet.
Honkai Star Rail 2.4 Banner Release Date
Though confirmation is still awaited, there have been rumors that the Honkai Star Rail 2.4 banners will be released on or around July 30, 2024. Release dates are prone to change, though, therefore it's crucial to rely on HoYoverse's official announcements for up-to-date information.
Go to the next section to learn more about the newly disclosed abilities, traces, skills, and other information regarding the new Honkai Star Rail 2.4 banner characters.
Honkai Star Rail Yunli
Yunli was revealed as an upcoming playable character who uses Physical element and follows the Path of Destruction. Moreover, a number of leaks have suggested that Yunli is a Follow-Up Attack unit using the Physical element.
HSR Yunli Abilities
According to X user UBatcha, Yunli is a 5-star unit with potential follow-up attack mechanisms included in her kit.
According to the most recent leak, she is also capable of attacking back from a defensive position and inflicting damage on her adversaries. It will be a counterattack akin to Clara's, and the character is rumored to possess a Blade-like ability that depletes a portion of her HP.
Additionally, it is stated in the Yunli kit provided by HomDGCat that she can use her Technique to create a barrier against the character that is actively engaged in battle. Moreover, when an opponent attacks the ally that she is protecting, her weapon will appear on the field to block the impact. This is a unique blocking feature.
Though it's too soon to tell, a lot of people believe she'll get along great with Feixiao. Nevertheless, in order to find out more about her skills and playing style, players will have to wait for the formal announcement.
