The next version and banner rotation are coming to Honkai: Star Rail. Version 1.3 of Star Rails is called Celestial Eyes Above Mortal Ruins and it will include new characters, light Cones and more. We share with you the latest news about the upcoming Star Rail characters, events and gameplay below.
The release of the Rail Version 1.3 Celestial Eyes Above Mortal Ruins will be this week on the 30th of August 2023.
Characters’ Banners in Version 1.3
For now, there have been announced three characters that you can see below. Two new 5-star characters and one new 4-star character.
Imbibitor Lunae character. Dan Heng’s true Vidyadhara form was revealed after accepting the residual powers from the previous reincarnation of “Imbibitor Lunae.” Upon accepting the majestic horns atop his crown, he must accept all the merits and faults attributed to that person. However, he was never himself.
Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae is a DPS character who can consume multiple Skill Points in one turn to unleash an array of enhanced abilities. The unique Squama Sacrosancta feature can be used to offset his Skill Point consumption.
Fu Xuan Character. The head of the Xianzhou Luofu’s Divination Commission and a confident, no-nonsense sage. Using her third eye and the Matrix of Prescience, Fu Xuan calculates the Xianzhou’s navigational route and predicts the fortune of future events. She firmly believes that everything she does is the “best solution” for the situation. Fu Xuan is waiting for the general’s promised “abdication.” However, that day still seems… very far away.
Fu Xuan is a defensive character who can reduce the DMG taken by all allies, share DMG taken by other teammates, and increase the CRIT Rate of all allies. When Fu Xuan’s HP is at a certain percentage or lower, she will restore her HP.
Lynx Character. The youngest daughter of the Landau family, and one of Belobog’s best extreme environments explorers. She is highly capable of action despite her apparent lack of motivation. She only appears introverted and lazy to avoid unnecessary socialization. As for what counts as unnecessary socialization – “Um, aren’t all socialization unnecessary?”
Lynx is a healing character who can increase the Max HP of an ally, provide continuous healing, and dispel debuffs from all allies. Meanwhile, Lynx can designate an ally on the Path of Destruction or Preservation to have a higher chance of being attacked by enemies.
