With Honkai: Star Rail Version 1.5 just around the corner, developer HoYoverse let players catch a glimpse of the future. The team revealed three new characters coming in Version 1.6. Meet Ruan Mei, Dr. Ratio and Xueyi!
Ruan Mei is a 5-star Ice Harmony character. Players might have already run into her during the various Simulated Universe modes and events. She is a sweet-tempered and elegant scholar, member #81 of the Genius Society, and an expert in the biological sciences.
She earned Nous’ attention with her talent and terrifying perseverance, and began her research on the origin of life in a secret corner of the universe. For that, she was invited by Herta to collaborate with Screwllum and Stephen to develop the Simulated Universe. Secretly, she greatly enjoys traditional theater and desserts, and she is also very interested in embroidery.
Dr. Ratio is the newest member of the Imaginary boy club and a 5-star Hunt character. He is a candid and self-centered Intelligentsia Guild member, who often conceals his appearance with a strange plaster sculpture. He demonstrated unparalleled intelligence and talent since his youth, but now refers to himself as a “Mundanite.”
He firmly believes that intellect and creativity are not confined to geniuses. He seeks to distribute knowledge to the entire universe to cure the persistent disease named ignorance.
Continuing the tradition of short female Quantum characters, Xueyi is an upcoming 4-star Destruction type character. One of the judges of the Ten-Lords Commission. Of the four duties of a judge (detention, interrogation, incarceration, and punishment), she is charged with detention.
Holding iron chains and a Marasunder Awl in her hands, she tirelessly tracks down wanted criminals and subdues them.
Those who follow the lore of the game might have already seen her sister, Hanya, in previous announcements or on the Light Cones featuring the two: Return to Darkness (Hunt) and Under the Blue Sky (Destruction).
