Hold onto your memes, this is not a drill! Honkai: Star Rail Penacony saga is coming to its official end in Version 2.7, the last one in the 2.x cycle before a new journey takes us to Amphoreus!
However, before we get there, it’s time to properly wrap things up and say goodbye to Penacony and Xianzhou in the newest Trailblaze Mission, and pick up Sunday (5-star Imaginary Harmony) and Fugue (5-star Fire Nihility) on the way.
“Some will return, some will soon leave. The Dreamscape is embroiled with murk and uncertainty. To behold the path ahead, one must learn to retrospect.”
But even that is not all! Having been out on enough Trailblazing missions, our protagonist finally earned the rights to their personal room, and it gives players a chance to play house. Enter, Cosmic Home Decor Guide! Becoming a Nameless means embarking on a journey without asking for a date of return, connecting worlds, trailblazing the future… and to have a cozy little room to yourself. Send your companions out on chore tasks, decorate your room – and get to dress up the Conductor as well!
In Between the Frames event, you will get to return to Penacony to participate in the Photography Exhibition at Paperfold University thanks to the invitation from Mr. Reca. March 7th has invited you to collaborate, eager to make a name for herself…
Dr. Ratio and Screwllum do not sit idle, awaiting the new expansion, and instead have introduced a new update to the Divergent Universe: The Human Comedy. In the system, numerous Equations unfold, hinting at various possibilities. Yet, at the same time, some dangerous ‘error values’ are quietly growing…
Last but not least, from Version 2.7 through the end of Version 3.2, Trailblazers can claim the “Gift of the Express”, allowing them to acquire one regular 5-star character from the Standard Banner of their choice! Tell us who you are getting in the comments below.
Honkai: Star Rail – Version 2.7 Banners Include:
Phase 1:
- 5-stars: Sunday (Imaginary Harmony) & Jing Yuan (Lightning Erudition);
- 4-stars: Tingyun (Lightning Harmony), Arlan (Lightning Destruction), Qinque (Quantum Erudition);
Sunday has unique support skills that set him apart from other Harmony units. His Skill allows teammates to immediately take action while increasing their DMG dealt. If the teammate has a summon, both can immediately take action, and the DMG Boost effect is even more evident. Using Sunday’s Ultimate can regenerate Energy for one teammate, as well as causing the character and their summon to be blessed with “The Beatified.” A halo will appear on “The Beatified” teammate, boosting their CRIT DMG.
Phase 2:
- 5-stars: Fugue (Fire Nihility) & Firefly (Fire Destruction);
- 4-stars: Yukong (Imaginary Harmony), Gallagher (Fire Abundance), Misha (Ice Destruction);
Tingyun’s new form comes armed with new skills. Her affinity lies with supporting one teammate in reducing enemies’ Toughness regardless of Weakness type.
When Fugue is in combat, enemy targets will be inflicted with the “Cloudflame Luster” effect. When “Cloudflame Luster” is reduced to 0, the target will take Weakness Break DMG again. Furthermore, when teammates attack Weakness Broken enemy targets, they will also deal Super Break DMG. Not only that, through her Skill, Fugue can increase ally characters’ Break Effects. When she uses her Ultimate, she deals Fire DMG to all enemies regardless of Weakness Type and directly reduces all enemies’ Toughness.
Looking ahead, the game is also preparing for Version 3.0, introducing Amphoreus, the new Path of Remembrance that focuses on Summons, introducing various enhancements and updating the Relic system. Check out the teaser below for the first look at the 3.x characters, including some familiar faces.
“Amphoreus! I do not call your name suddenly or without cause. I come here to recount history — The black tide of the end fell upon the land, gods descended into madness, and mortals turned their weapons on each other. Yet still, there were heroes who chased the flames, leading the way in the grand undertaking of creation.
In this world, they fused burning golden ichor into their bodies. Will destiny remember their names in days to come? Aglaea, Tribbie, Anaxa, Hyacine, Mydei, Cipher, Castorice, Phainon, Hysilens, █████████, █████, Cerydra …. Memories slumbering at dusk, please do not forget Amphoreus’ name.”
