Dear Trailblazers, welcome from the Honkai: Star Rail programmer staff! It’s been a while, but now we’re thrilled to provide you more information about type 2. 7, A New Venture on the Eighth Dawn which launches on December 4, the final paragraph before the Astral Express sets its sights on the mysterious world of Amphoreus, known as the Eternal Land. This release closes our book in Penacony and paves the way for a fresh story in type 3. 0. In the previous history circle, Black Swan suggested the Crew endeavor to Amphoreus — a realm thus mysterious that even the Aeon of the Trailblaze, Akivili, always managed to reach. Curious but cautious, Miss Himeko the Navigator decides to obtain any available hp about this location. However, the Crew makes a final stop in Penacony, reuniting with ancient companions and creating lasting memories in one last farewell before they set forth on their next heroic journey. Old friends returning to the light The thoughts of that achievement at the Penacony Grand Theater feel as vibrant as yesterday. It’s not just the Astral Express or Penacony that ’s awakened from its vision — Sunday has, also. Reflecting on it, there’s something profoundly stirring about sharing the step with Mr. Sunday after more. Stepping over from his position as the mind of the Oak Family, he’s chosen to “Descend to the earthly world and move their land. Discover what this world is really like. ” Casting off gifts from both Harmony and Order, Sunday is setting out to pursue his perception of a paradise as a simple man. This period, he returns to Penacony, thanks to the help of a mysterious Pepeshi called Wonweek, with one desire: to give a last, incredible efficiency before embarking on his new trip. Accordingly, his coat and helmet serve not only to offer him a new look but also to hide his true identity for his last dancing in the Planet of Holidays. As a 5-star Imaginary figure, Sunday has unique Help powers, and his Skill causes an ally to promptly take action and improve their DMG dealt. If that alliance has a Summon, therefore both the alliance and the Summon can quickly take action and further enhance the DMG Boost result. When Sunday uses his Ultimate, he regenerates Energy for one ally, and makes that ally and its Summon – The Beatified. A halo is bestowed on the ally who becomes The Beatified and increases their CRIT DMG. Another character soon to arrive is Fugue, who we know as our old friend Tingyun. Once a tactful foxian girl, she now finds her name, appearance, and even identity stolen. Fate, however, has left her a slender thread of hope, though the mark of Destruction still stirs restlessly within her. Tingyun barely escaped death after her encounter with Phantylia during version 1. 2’s main storyline and was saved only by the intervention of Madam Ruan Mei from the Genius Society, who granted her a second chance at life. Recently, Himeko and Welt visited Madam Ruan Mei and took it upon themselves to bring Miss Tingyun home, renewing her journey back to where she belongs. Fugue is a 5-star Fire character who is skilled at supporting one ally to reduce Toughness regardless of the enemy’s Type Weaknesses. While Fugue is on the field, enemy targets are afflicted with the Cloudflame Luster state. When Cloudflame Luster is reduced to zero, the target takes Break DMG once again. Moreover, when teammates attack Weakness Broken enemy targets, they deal Super Break DMG. And that ’s not all — Fugue can use her Technique to increase ally characters ’ Break Effect. When she uses her Ultimate, she deals Fire DMG to all enemies, and this instance of attack ignores Weakness Type to directly reduce all enemies ’ Toughness. Additionally, the limited 5-star characters General Jing Yuan and Firefly, will return in the first and second halves of the version 2. 7 warp event respectively. Their formidable support makes them invaluable allies for your future journeys. More gameplay features for version 2. 7 and beyond Beyond new characters and storylines, version 2. 7 also offers Trailblazers a truly immersive experience.
