The character banners for Honkai: Star Rail 1.1 have been officially revealed by HoYoverse, confirming most of what was already expected. The new turn-based RPG from the creators of Genshin Impact is receiving its first official patch after its release in April. The update, Version 1.1, will be released on June 7 and will bring a series of new additions to the title. Among the many new pieces of content, players can expect more main story missions, which will continue the adventure of the Astral Express crew and the Trailblazer in Honkai: Star Rail aboard the Xianzhou Luofu flagship.
The new version will also bring a few limited-time events for players to participate in and obtain prizes. There are also new limited-time character banners in Version 1.1, which will introduce new playable characters into the game. Most of the Honkai: Star Rail 1.1 character leaks were correct, so some of the characters that players have seen so far during the campaign are actually making their way into the playable roster.
The Phase 2 banner in Honkai: Star Rail 1.1 will feature Luocha as the main 5-star hero. Luocha has already been featured in the campaign, though players do not actually control his actions in battle. He is an Imaginary character that follows the Path of the Abundance. This means he is a healer with one of the most underused Elements. The Phase 2 banner will also introduce a new Imaginary character called Yukong, who showed up in the campaign’s story. She will be a 4-star Harmony hero, which means she is a support character for her own team. The other 4-stars are Pela and Qingque.
The confirmation of Silver Wolf, Luocha, and Yukong as the new playable characters in Honkai: Star Rail 1.1 is great news as the current roster continues to expand. With a new Quantum hero and two new Imaginary characters, players can start diversifying their team comps even more – at launch, the game only had two Quantum characters and one Imaginary hero. Both elements are common weaknesses against stronger opponents, so the lack of more options for players to choose in Honkai: Star Rail from was a problem.
