Update for version 2.5 Honkai: Star RailwayCalled Flying Aureus Shot to Lupine Rue, it will be released on September 10, developer miHoYo announced.
Here's an overview of the update via miHoYo:
This update introduces the highly anticipated Wardance ceremony along with powerful new opponents. As the new advanced journey continues in Xianzhou Luofu, players will have the opportunity to recruit new five-star characters, including Xianzhou Yaoqing General Feixiao, who will participate in Echoes of War. Like Lingsha, the new Cauldron Master from the Xianzhou Luofu Alchemy Commission, and Moze, the taciturn and silent Shadow Guardian of Yaoging, who has already played and will continue to play an important role in the upcoming adventure.
After a recent prison break in The Shackling Prison, the Cloud Knights rush in to begin the rescue. General Feixiao will personally lead his troops to capture the criminals of the fleeing Boris and protect the surface of Luofu. Meanwhile, General Jing Yuan will investigate the incident, while General Huaiyan will oversee Luofu's Six Commissions. As long-hidden secrets are revealed in the Winged Prison, this seminal silkpunk epic will race to the top. Meanwhile, the Luminary Wardance is set to ignite in Version 2.5, attracting many participants, including familiar faces like Luke, who is visiting Xianzhou Luofu for the first time. Pioneers who engage in activities related to Luminary Wardance can earn the charming pet “Tuskpir” as a companion. In addition to the conservation ceremony, Xianzhou will host other exciting events, inviting Trailblazers to dive and explore!
As the Guardian's excitement grows, a formidable new ally appears on the battlefield. Feixiao, Merlin's Claw of Xianzhou Yaoqing, and one of the Seven Grand Judges will enter the battlefield as 5-star playable characters. Known for his reckless and simple nature, Feixiao is a master of all types of martial arts and has transformed himself into the ultimate weapon. Respected by Xianzhou soldiers and civilians alike, he is referred to as the “Victorious General”. During battles, General Feixiao fights in space and works closely with his allies. After his teammates hit the enemy, he follows up with a powerful attack. Collects “Flying Aureus” every few attacks. Given by Reignbow, this Spiritus enhances his power and duty. Feixiao not only collects Flying Aureus from his attacks, but also benefits from his teammates' strikes. When he uses his Ultimate, Feixiao consumes the Flying Aureus and unleashes a series of powerful attacks on the enemy with his weapons or battleaxes. These strikes bypass the enemy's Weakness Type, while reducing the Enemy's Toughness and increasing Weakness Break Effectiveness. In version 2.5, Feixiao will also introduce a new challenge for Trailblazers: “Echoes of War: Battlefield of the Inner Beast”. In this challenge, players will encounter the Feixiao shadow and the appearance of the Flying Aureus-Ecliptic Inner Beast.
Another highly anticipated five-star character from Xianzhou Allies, Lingsha, will be joining the playable roster. He diagnoses diseases with his keen sense of smell and uses incense to calm others. Adept at managing complex social interactions, he maintains a calm and composed demeanor even when he is agitated inside. In battle, Lingsha is distinguished by his ability to summon Fuyuan, the incense beast he creates. Fuyuan helps in the fight, but collapses after a few moves. Lingsha can use her Skills to extend Fuyuan's moves, allowing her to perform follow-up attacks. Not only does this attack damage all enemies, it also removes a debuff from allies and restores their HP as well. When Lingsha uses Ultimate, it damages all enemies, heals all allies, and gives enemies a Befog condition that increases Break damage. As a reliable Cauldron Master, Lingsha ensures that her allies are well protected.
In addition, Yaoging's 4-star Shadow Guardian Moze will debut as a playable character. Known for his reticence and solitary nature, Moze operates in secret, rarely showing himself. In combat, it marks a single enemy as a Predator and then enters the Departed state while the Predator is on the field. After allies attack the Predator, Moze deals additional damage. Additionally, Moze's Ultimate deals DMG to enemies and initiates the next attack. With his elusive tactics and deadly precision, Moze brings a new level of strategy and intrigue to the battlefield.
A special Warp Event will begin in the first half of Version 2.5, starting with the return of the limited 5-star characters Robin, Black Swan, and Kafka. Warp count for guaranteed 5 stars will be shared between repeat and current limited banners. Changing banners will not reset the warranty count. The second half of version 2.5 will feature a rerun of the limited 5-star character Topaz.
Honkai: Star Railway Available now for PlayStation 5, client download and PC via the Epic Games Store, iOS via the App Store, and Android via Google Play. A PlayStation 4 version is also planned.
