With the continuous expansion of its roster, Honkai: Star Rail is introducing new characters to its gameplay.
In the latest version of Honkai: Star Rail, three new characters have been introduced. Luka, a spirited member of the Wildfire and a renowned boxing champion in the Belobog Underworld, joins as a four-star rarity. Blade, on the other hand, is a five-star character and part of the Stellaron Hunters. Known for abandoning his body to become a blade, he is a powerful swordsman. Kafka, another member of the Stellaron Hunters, has also been added. As a highly anticipated character, Kafka possesses the ability to instill fear in opponents.
Additionally, the game has recently unveiled Jingliu, a legendary five-star character and a significant figure in the Honkai: Star Rail universe. Jingliu is confirmed as an Ice character from the Destruction path and was once the leader of the renowned High-Cloud Quintet. Known as the "Transcendent Flash," Jingliu's group disbanded less than a hundred years after its formation. She eventually succumbed to Mara, the negative effects of immortality gained by consuming Yaoshi's fruit, causing her to go insane. Jingliu faced her pupil, Jing Yuan, and was ultimately defeated. It remains a mystery how Honkai: Star Rail will reintroduce Jingliu and explain her presumed death at the hands of her student.
