Honkai Star Rail 2.7 New Characters
The upcoming version 2.7 of Honkai Star Rail introduces two exciting new characters: Sunday and Fugue. Both bring unique abilities and intriguing backstories to the game, completing your roster with fresh strategies and gameplay options.
Sunday
Sunday is a 5-star Imaginary character who follows the Path of Harmony and brings fresh support options to your team. What makes Sunday special is that he can help your team move faster in battle, boost their damage, and power up any summoned units you have. In tough battles, Sunday can also assist with energy regeneration.
Fugue
Remember Tingyun? Well, she’s back as Fugue and had quite the makeover! Now a 5-star Fire character on the Path of Nihility, she brings unique abilities to the table. Fugue boosts your team’s Break Effect, allowing your allies to damage enemy Toughness. However, she lowers ally defense to increase their damage, making her a powerful but risky choice for your team.
The Party Car in Honkai Star Rail 2.7
One of the most exciting additions in 2.7 is the Party Car. Finally, you’re getting your own room on the Astral Express! You can customize your personal space, interact with various pieces of furniture, and enjoy this new feature that goes beyond simple decoration.
Honkai Star Rail 2.7 Banner Schedule and Reruns
While we’ll get the official confirmation during the livestream, here’s what’s likely coming:
- Phase 1: Sunday’s debut (possibly with Firefly or Boothill)
- Phase 2: Fugue’s debut
- Potential reruns of popular characters like Dr. Ratio, Seele, or Silver Wolf
Version 2.7 of Honkai Star Rail is shaping up to be an exciting update with plenty to offer. You’ll get two new 5-star characters, each with unique abilities that will change how you approach battles. Plus, the much-anticipated Party Car feature lets you customize your own space on the Astral Express, adding a fun new layer to the game.
