Honkai: Star Rail has confirmed the next major banner coming in phase 2 of its release version. Developed by Genshin Impact creators HoYoVerse, Honkai: Star Rail is a turn-based RPG that came out on April 2023 for PC and mobile devices.
Honkai: Star Rail is a gacha game like Genshin Impact, so gamers will be able to pull for their favorite characters on limited-time banners that rotate regularly. Seele was featured in the first banner for Honkai: Star Rail and users can still try to get this character at the time of this writing. Now, HoYoVerse has revealed all the characters gamers can try to obtain in phase two of its launch version.
Players can try to get the limited 5-star character Jing Yuan when this banner drops on May 17, 2023. Jing Yuan is a Lightning character in Honkai: Star Rail, with The Erudition as his Path, and he is considered to be one of the strongest Lightning characters in the game. In addition to Jing Yuan, 4-star characters Tingyun, Sushang, and March 7th will have boosted drop rates, giving users a better chance of obtaining them.
Tingyun is likely the most sought-after 4-star character from this list, as she is arguably the best 4-star character in Honkai: Star Rail. Sushang has also received praise, as she takes the fourth spot on this list, while March 7th is at the eighth spot in the rankings. As these events run for three weeks, players should note that this banner will be available until June 6, 2023.
The Seele banner was a massive success for Honkai: Star Rail, as it generated an impressive amount of revenue for the development team. This report revealed that the Seele banner reached $28,811,140 as of May 6, 2023, around 10 days after its launch in April. Fans should note that this data only considered iOS revenue in China, so the total figure will likely be higher than this already impressive number. It’ll be interesting to see if the Jing Yuan banner is able to surpass the Seele banner, as there appears to be a ton of hype behind him.
While Jing Yuan and Seele are considered strong, the other 5-star characters in Honkai: Star Rail can also prove to be highly effective. The best ones are likely Bronya, Bailu, Welt, and Clara, with each character having different strengths that serve a unique purpose on the battlefield.
Honkai: Star Rail is available for PC and mobile devices. PS4 and PS5 versions are in development.
