Developer HoYoverse shared the latest animated short for turn-based RPG Honkai: Star Rail. It features Black Swan inviting a certain someone for a dance. The star of the video is no doubt Acheron, the mysterious Galaxy Ranger and the upcoming 5-star Lightning Nihility character.
In addition to the gorgeous visuals, the short gives viewers an idea of what to expect from Acheron, and provides a glimpse into the Annihilation gang and more. It’s a dance to die for. Check it out yourself in the video above! If you need a refresher on the Annihilation gang, they were introduced in a Myriad Celestia Trailer.
Did you enjoy the trailer? Did it affect your desire to whale for Acheron as it did mine? Let us know in the comments below. Last but not least, the description of the video provided readers a heavy lore dive into dual planets Izumo and Takamagahara. Check it out on the official site!
What do we know about Acheron? She is one of the main players of the Penacony arc in Version 2.0, and will remain an important part of this “wholesome and light-hearted” experience going forward. Additionally, she will join the roster of the game in Version 2.1: “Into the Yawning Chasm”.
Acheron is a Lightning Nihility character, but she couldn’t be more different from Kafka if she tried. She is a DPS that accumulates charges through inflicting debuffs on enemies to unleash her Ultimate. Which in turn ignores enemy Weakness Types, drains all enemies’ Toughness, and reduces their Type RES. This Ranger’s technique can also instantly kill some enemies in the open world.
Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.1 Banners:
- Phase I: Acheron (5-star Lightning Nihility) & Luocha (5-star Imaginary Abundance);
- Phase II: Aventurine (5-star Imaginary Preservation) & Jingliu (5-star Ice Destruction).
The Brilliant Fixation banner will feature the appropriate signature Light Cones, including the two brand-new ones: Among the Passing Shore (Nihility) and Inherently Unjust Destiny (Preservation). With two meta-defining DPS and two top-tier solo sustainers, you can do no wrong on these banners.
The 4-star character lineup of the first half includes the new Fire Abundance 4-star Gallagher, in case you needed an extra reason to throw your cash at the screen at the sight of Acheron.
Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.1 “Into the Yawning Chasm” arrives March 27.
