Enthusiastic Honkai: Star Rail fans have expressed their anticipation for Imbibitor Lunae, his kit, and the significant role he will have in the game's overarching storyline.
Honkai: Star Rail has announced the arrival of Imbibitor Lunae on its official Twitter page, putting an end to the anticipation. Described as the "High Elder of the Luofu" and the bearer of the Azure Dragon's legacy, Lunae has the important task of safeguarding the Ambrosial Arbor. This highly anticipated five-star character belongs to the Imaginary type and follows the Path of Destruction, making him capable of dealing significant damage while maintaining strong defenses. Although Honkai: Star Rail has not specified the release date for Imbibitor Lunae, reports suggest that he will be part of Version 1.3's banner, along with Fu Xuan.
The news of Imbibitor Lunae's arrival has brought joy to many Honkai: Star Rail players, particularly those who have been eagerly waiting to see Dan Heng's dragon version. Some lightheartedly mentioned that they are willing to spend a significant amount of in-game currency, even to the point of "going broke," in order to obtain Imbibitor Lunae when his banner is released. Others have decided to save up resources in case they are unable to acquire Kafka or Blade in Version 1.2.
Dan Heng, a enigmatic character in Honkai: Star Rail, remains tight-lipped about his past, making the addition of Imbibitor Lunae a crucial element in fleshing out his backstory. Prior to the Xianzhou Luofu expedition, Dan Heng dropped hints about being forbidden from entering the area, possibly due to his connection with the Amrbrosial Arbor. This tree-like relic bears fruits that bestow immortality upon the people of Xianzhou. Speculation among players has also suggested that Blade may have been the catalyst for Dan Heng's banishment. Fans of Honkai: Star Rail will have to wait until Version 1.2 to witness the unfolding of the Xianzhou Luofu narrative. Additionally, HoYoverse will hold a Special Program on July 8, providing a comprehensive update on the upcoming news, including a potential teaser for Imbibitor Lunae.
