We’re still in the first half of Honkai: Star Rail 1.0’s character banner with Seele, but HoYoverse has already revealed which three characters are going to be featured on update 1.1’s banners. Posting on Chinese social media site Weibo, the developer and publisher announced that Silver Wolf, Luocha, and Yukong will join the playable Honkai: Star Rail characters in a month.

Silver Wolf

HoYoverse

Silver Wolf will be a familiar name for any Honkai: Star Rail player, being part of the game’s intro sequence with Kafka that leads to the “birth” of the Trailblazer on Herta Space Station. She’s a renowned hacker and part of the Stellaron Hunters. She’s a 5-Star character dealing Quantum Damage and following the Nihilty, so she’s specialized in debuffing enemies.

Luocha

HoYoverse

Luocha is another character we know a few things about, as he was playable in one of the beta tests of the game. He’s a merchant with some knowledge of medicine, who’s always traveling around with a coffin. He’s a 5-Star character, too, and dishes out Imaginary Damage. He follows the Abundance, being a healer. That role plus his ability to deal Imaginary Damage, which so far is quite a rare type, will surely propel him upwards very quickly in the Honkai: Star Rail tier list.

Yukong

HoYoverse

Yukong is the new character we know the least about, as she’s not been part of previous tests. It looks like she belongs to the same species as Tingyun, who may in fact be the young girl on the image HoYoverse released of Yukong. She’s going to be a 4-Star character dealing Imaginary Damage, and just like Tingyun she’s a follower of the Harmony, which means she’s going to act as a support unit for the team with some buffs.

Before these characters become available, though, Seele remains available another week and then Jing Yuan gets a three-week run in the second half of the 1.0 banners until June 8, 2023.
