Leaked information from Honkai: Star Rail has revealed exciting details about the upcoming character Aventurine and her gameplay, set to arrive in a future update. The game's recent post-launch update, Version 1.1, introduced new five-star characters like Silver Wolf and Luocha, as well as a new four-star character, Yukong. Developer announcements have also teased three more new characters for Version 1.2, including Kafka, Blade, and Luka, with more leaks suggesting even more characters are on the way.
Despite only being launched less than two months ago, Honkai: Star Rail already has a wealth of planned content for future patches, with leaks revealing a pair of five-star characters, Fu Xuan and Imbibitor Lunae, set to arrive in Version 1.3. Even the starter character, Dan Heng, is getting a new version. Other leaked characters include Xueyi, who appears in a side quest, as well as Misha and Firefly. And now, players can look forward to the introduction of Aventurine and her unique kit.
Prominent Honkai: Star Rail leaker Affinity has recently shared detailed information about Aventurine, the upcoming five-star Imaginary element character in the Preservation path. Aventurine's abilities are designed to offer shielding for allies, with his Skill providing all allies with a shield. His kit includes a unique mechanic that revolves around playing card suits. Moreover, Aventurine features an "energy" mechanic that utilizes the suits, granting increased DEF and initiating follow-up attacks after stacking 6 points of energy.
The leak also sheds light on Aventurine's Eidolons, providing valuable insights for players looking to acquire multiple copies of the character. Aventurine's first Eidolon adds a taunt effect to the character after casting his Ultimate, while his second Eidolon provides debuff resistance for allies after using his Skill. Later upgrades provide boosts to the character's damage, offering bonus damage for his Basic Attack and all of his damage based on ally shield values. As of now, the expected release date for Aventurine remains undisclosed.
Recent weeks have seen several Honkai: Star Rail characters' abilities leaked, including the animations and combat moves of Version 1.2's Kafka and Imbibitor Lunae. Additionally, Misha's powerful Ice Destruction character with a focus on AoE damage has had its kit revealed ahead of any official models. Honkai: Star Rail promises a diverse range of characters to cater to different playstyles, with more updates to come. The game is currently available on PC and mobile devices, with PS4 and PS5 versions in development.
