Yunli will be a 5-star Physical Destruction unit who specializes in counters through her passive. Her Skill can deal damage and restore HP. Meanwhile, her Ultimate is a stance that lets her taunt the enemies and parry their attacks. Jiaoqiu will be a 5-star Fire Nihility character who can deal Ashen Roast with his attacks. Ashen Roast is similar to Firekiss and Burned, dealing Fire DoT at the start of each turn. His Skill deals Fire DMG and inflicts Ashen Roast, whereas his Ultimate creates a Domain around the enemies. While his Domain is active, enemies take more damage from Ultimates and have a chance to gain Ashen Roast at the start of each action.

While Yunli and Jiaoqiu are limited 5-star characters in the Honkai: Star Rail 2.4 banners, March 7th will be a free unit from an event. She’ll be a 4-star Imaginary Hunt. March 7th will be a mix of different Paths in the sense of she can do a lot of different stuff. Her Skill lets her designate an ally as her master, increasing their SPD. Depending on her master’s Path, she gains different benefits. When her master attacks, March gains stacks. Once she reaches a certain amount of them, she immediately takes action and can unleash an Enhanced Basic Attack. March will be like Trailblazer rather than Dan Heng. She won’t be a separate unit. Instead, you can choose if you want her as a Hunt or a Preservation unit from her character interface.

Yunli will be in the first phase of the new version. Huohuo will be re-running alongside her. As for the 4-stars on rate-up in their banner, it’ll be Hanya, Yukong, and Lynx. The second phase of Version 2.4 will star Jiaoqiu and Sparkle. Guinaifen, Arlan, and Hook will be on rate-up as well. The Imaginary Hunt version of March 7th will be free.

Honkai: Star Rail is readily available on the PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices. Version 2.4 of Honkai: Star Rail will come out on July 31, 2024.
