miHoYo’s next big update for Honkai: Star Rail, Version 2.4, “Finest Duel Under the Pristine Blue”, launches on July 31st. It sees the Astral Express crew returning to the Xianzhou Luofu while March 7th participates in the Wardance festival. Meanwhile, other secrets lay waiting to be exposed.
Characters like Yanqing and Jing Yuan return while newcomers like Yunli and other generals, including Feixiao and Huaiyan, debut. Players will also venture to the Shackling Prison beneath the Scalegorge Waterscape and encounter Borisin creatures. Unfortunately, things go wrong, resulting in a disaster.
As for the new characters, Yunli is the latest five-star Destruction character, dealing Physical damage and specializing in counters. Jiaoqiu arrives in the second half of the update as a five-star Fire damage character following the Path of Nihility. By inflicting Ashen Roast, enemies receive the Burn state, increasing damage taken, making him an ideal Support for Acheron.
If that wasn’t enough, Huohuo and Sparkle will also get re-runs. Version 2.4 will be free for PS5, PC, iOS and Android players, so stay tuned for more details.
