During the special program of Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.2, HoYoVerse shared more information on the new characters who’ll make their playable debuts in the upcoming banners. We’ll be getting Boothill and Robin as limited five-star allies in Honkai: Star Rail.
You can watch the special program here:
Boothill will be a five-star Physical Hunt character in Honkai: Star Rail. His Skill pits him in a duel against a single enemy. They’ll both deal and receive more DMG, and he can get a stack to enhance his attack after he defeats an enemy. His Ultimate inflicts Physical Weakness, deals DMG, and delays the target’s action. Boothill will need the new Echo of War Material that’ll debut in Version 2.2.
Robin will be a five-star Physical Harmony character in Honkai: Star Rail. Her Skill can enhance DMG, and her Talent can restore Energy when an ally attacks an enemy. Robin’s Ultimate can advance the entire party’s turn, as well as starts up a musical show. She can also deal extra damage to enemies after an ally’s attack, which means she’ll work very well with follow-up teams. Robin also becomes immune to crowd control effects.
The first banners for Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.2 will feature Robin and Topaz. Topaz is a five-star Fire Hunt character. During this phase, the four-stars on rate-up will be March 7th, Hanya, and Xueyi. The second phase will feature Boothill and Fuxuan. Fu Xuan is a five-star Quantum Preservation. Pela, Luka, and Hook will be on rate-up during this banner. This version marks the first one since service started that there was no new four-star character in a patch.
Honkai: Star Rail is readily available on the PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices. Version 2.2 of Honkai: Star Rail should come out on May 8, 2024.
