What’s in Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.7?

Version 2.7 is a massive update that introduces a ton of new content to Honkai: Star Rail. There are two new characters, features, and a continuation of the story that we know and love.

New Characters: Sunday and Fugue

There are two new five star characters arriving with version 2.7: Sunday and Fugue.

Sunday is an Imaginary character who focuses on support. Their ability can make any ally attack immediately, alongside their ally if they have one, with boosted damage.

Their ultimate, meanwhile, regenerates energy for an ally, and provides them with a buff known as ‘The Beatified’, which boosts their crit damage.

Meanwhile, Fugue is also a five star character who can buff an ally to reduce an opponent’s toughness when attacking. They also provide the Cloudflame Luster state to all enemies, which helps break enemies and deal more damage to them when broken.

Fugue’s ultimate is an AoE fire attack that reduce’s enemy’s toughness and ignores their weakness types.

New Gameplay Features: Party Car, Relic System Update, and Gift of the Express

In terms of gameplay, the Astral Express now features a new hangout space in the Party Car. Here, you’ll also find your very own quarters, which you can decorate.

The Relic system is also getting an overhaul, allowing you to manually choose its main and subsidiary stats. You need a new item, Wishful Resign, as well as Self-Modeling Resign, to pull this off.

Lastly, there’s the Gift of the Express, which will let you select a five star character of your choice. You can use this between version 2.7 and 3.2, so be relatively quick.
