Not only can we expect fresh characters to join the roster, the developers are actually testing a new type of rerun banner in the first half of update 2.5 that features three different 5-Star units – you can choose which one to aim for, so this is a nice little feature to allow players to fill gaps in their line-up or get those Eidolon Levels without having to wait for many months.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Honkai: Star Rail 2.5 character banners as well as the available Light Cones.

Feixiao

Honkai: Star Rail's Feixiao. / HoYoverse

Feixiao is a powerful attacker with the ability to break enemies regardless of their Weakness Type. In addition, she’s able to launch follow-up attacks in various situations, enabling her to pressure an enemy relentlessly. Thanks to two weapon choices, Feixiao has strong options against enemies in various states.

Kafka

Honkai: Star Rail's Kafka. / HoYoverse

Kafka is a deadly user of DoT, inflicting Shock effects on enemies and triggering them with her abilities for extra damage. She can also use follow-up attacks after allies make Basic Attacks.

Black Swan

Honkai: Star Rail's Black Swan. / HoYoverse

Black Swan is another useful character for DoT compositions, inflicting Wind Shear on foes as well as enhancing the damage taken by enemies at the beginning of their own turn.

Robin

Honkai: Star Rail's Robin. / HoYoverse

Robin specializes in supporting follow-up attacks, enhancing their damage greatly – she is one of the most powerful support characters in the game for this reason.

Moze

Honkai: Star Rail's Moze. / HoYoverse

Moze can designate an enemy target as his prey and then continuously harry this foe with his follow-up attacks, dealing additional damage when his allies focus on the same enemy.

Asta

Honkai: Star Rail's Asta. / HoYoverse

Asta is a useful support character due to her offensive buffs for the team. She’s also fantastic at inflicting Weakness Break against enemies with Fire Weakness thanks to her attack dealing lots of instances of damage.

Luka

Honkai: Star Rail's Luka. / HoYoverse

Luka is a solid DoT attacker specializing in inflicting and enhancing Bleed – though he’s strongly overshadowed by other characters of his Path.

Honkai: Star Rail 2.5 banners: Phase 2

Phase 2 will begin on October 2, 2024, and run for three weeks from that point on. You’ll be able to get the following characters in this time period:

• Lingsha (5-Star, Fire, The Abundance), Misha (4-Star, Ice, The Destruction), Guinaifen (4-Star, Fire, The Nihility), and Natasha (4-Star, Physical, The Abundance)
• Topaz (5-Star, Fire, The Hunt), Misha (4-Star, Ice, The Destruction), Guinaifen (4-Star, Fire, The Nihility), and Natasha (4-Star, Physical, The Abundance)
• Scent Alone Stays True (5-Star, The Abundance) and three 4-Star Light Cones
• Worrisome, Blissful (5-Star, The Hunt) and three 4-Star Light Cones

Lingsha

Honkai: Star Rail's Lingsha. / HoYoverse

Lingsha can summon a familiar to the battlefield, which has its own spot in the turn order and will attack enemy targets with follow-up attacks. These moves not only deal damage, but heal every ally on the field as well as dispel one debuff from them – a powerful ability. In addition, Lingsha is helpful for Break teams thanks to a Break Damage buff included with her Ultimate.

Topaz

Honkai: Star Rail's Topaz. / HoYoverse

Topaz is a powerful Sub DPS for follow-up attack teams. Not only does she deal a lot of damage herself, she can enhance the follow-up attack damage of her allies as well. Anyone currently on the quest to build a follow-up team should strongly consider pulling for her.

Misha

Honkai: Star Rail's Misha. / HoYoverse

Misha is, unfortunately, a rather ineffective damage dealer. He thrives in teams with high Skill Point consumption.

Guinaifen

Honkai: Star Rail's Guinaifen. / HoYoverse

Guinaifen is another classic DoT character, inflicting Burn as well as a damage multiplier on her targets to maximize the entire party’s damage. Be careful with her, though, as she has very low base HP.

Natasha

Honkai: Star Rail's Natasha. / HoYoverse

Natasha is the game’s basic healer, which means that she can carry you through early content with ease, but falls off quickly after that.
