HoYoVerse has revealed more details on the kit and biography of Yunli, who’ll be a new 5-star Physical Destruction character in Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.4. She’ll be available in the first phase of the new update.
Yunli’s sword is Old Mettle and it’s a “severely overweight” sword. She can apparently talk to this sword, though it’s hard to tell if this is because she’s a huge sword otaku or if her sword can legitimately communicate with her. Yunli’s hobby includes collecting swords, though part of this is due to her duty to retrieve “cursed swords” and cast them into the forge. As we know from March 7th’s character description in her Imaginary Hunt form, Yunli is skilled enough at swordsmanship that she’s able to teach others how to use one.
In battle, Yunli has a parry-focused kit in which she regenerates additional energy and launches a Counter after an enemy attacks her. She can restore HP with her Skill and then deal Physical DMG to up to three enemies at once. Her main bread and butter seems to come from her Ultimate. It’ll let her taunt all enemies and increases a special Counter to up to three enemies. Her passive Traces focus on increasing her ATK and increasing her ability to resist Crowd Control debuffs after she uses her Ultimate.
Honkai: Star Rail is readily available on the PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices. You’ll be able to pull for Yunli when Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.4 goes live on July 31, 2024. Her signature Light Cone will also be in the banner for a limited time alongside her.
