The Honkai Star Rail community has been abuzz lately, with a string of significant announcements. Initially, The Game Awards 2023 trailer unveiled Penacony as the next destination, and now, the latest Drip Marketing campaign introduces three new characters: Black Swan, Misha, and Sparkle.
Characters Revealed in Honkai Star Rail 2.0
Honkai Star Rail recently unveiled three new characters through a series of tweets. While it’s uncertain if these characters will debut in the Honkai Star Rail 2.0 update, it’s improbable that Hoyoverse will introduce them before this anticipated update. Let’s delve into the specifics of these upcoming Honkai Star Rail characters.
Honkai Star Rail: Sparkle
Sparkle emerges as a 5-star Harmony character wielding the Quantum damage type. Given Ruan Mei’s debut as the initial limited 5-star Harmony in version 1.6, there are substantial expectations surrounding Sparkle’s abilities. Her Quantum damage type positions her favorably for mono Quantum teams, renowned for their effectiveness in Swarm Disaster scenarios.
Described as a woman adorned with ‘countless masks and many faces,’ Sparkle embodies a ‘dangerous master of theatrics immersed in assuming roles.’ Her aesthetic style adds allure to her character. Interestingly, she exhibits a lack of interest in wealth, status, or power; her sole attraction lies in seeking amusement.
Honkai Star Rail: Misha
Introducing Misha, the unexpected arrival and new 4-star Destruction character armed with the Ice damage type. His sudden reveal without any prior leaks has left the community pleasantly surprised. Described as an endearing and contemplative bellboy at The Reverie Hotel, Misha aspires to follow in his grandfather’s footsteps to become an intergalactic adventurer, adding to the excitement surrounding his character.
Proficient with machines and known for his diligence, ‘Misha also holds a penchant for sharing interstellar rumors with guests‘. It appears he’ll be the go-to person for insider information when exploring Penacony.
Honkai Star Rail: Black Swan
Black Swan’s drip marketing made its debut in the recent episode of Developer Radio. As a 5-star Wind Nihility character, her presence suggests a potential resurgence of DoTs (Damage over Time) in the Honkai Star Rail 2.0 update.
Portrayed as a mysterious and graceful soothsayer, Black Swan possesses a warm smile and a patient demeanor. She listens attentively to others, using their words as a gateway to delve into their memories. Her enigmatic persona hints at an intriguing narrative, promising to unveil captivating lore about the Garden of Recollection and possibly shed light on March 7th’s history.
English Voice Actors of Sparkle, Black Swan, & Misha
The Drip Marketing campaign unveils the English voice actors for the characters. Lizzie Freeman voices Sparkle, Cat Protano lends her voice to Misha, and Arryn Zech, previously revealed in the Penacony trailer, voices Black Swan in the English version.
The Acheron Banner in Honkai Star Rail 2.0
Acheron’s role was showcased in the Penacony trailer, indicating her significant involvement in the Penacony Trailblaze mission. Nevertheless, recent insights from the drip marketing campaign suggest that Acheron won’t be a part of the Honkai Star Rail 2.0 update.
The introduction of the three new characters in Honkai Star Rail has generated quite a buzz within the community. We’re curious to learn about your favorite among them, so be sure to share your thoughts in the comments.
