New Content and Features

Paperfold University is celebrating its anniversary with a bustling campus atmosphere. Expect student club recruitment drives, lively music performances, and a variety of academic events.

The spotlight, however, shines on Rappa, the new 5-star Galaxy Ranger character. A self-proclaimed ninja, Rappa utilizes ninjutsu, incorporating ninja mantras, scrolls, graffiti, and even rap into her persona. Her mission? To hunt down the villainous Evil Ninja Osaru. Rappa's ultimate attack, Sealform Ningu: Demonbane Petalblade, features a unique first-person perspective, allowing players to strategically slice through enemies and significantly reduce their Toughness.

Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.6 Events

The "Sound Hunt Ninjutsu Inscription" event challenges players to manage a band for the Dreamlight Anniversary music party, collaborating with Rappa to deliver an electrifying performance.

Returning limited 5-star characters Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae, Acheron, and Aventurine will be available in the warp event during both halves of the update. See the trailer for a sneak peek!

The Simulated Universe receives a major overhaul in version 2.6. Following the success of Swarm Disaster and Gold and Gears, a third DLC, "The Unknowable Domain," introduces a massive void linked to post-Second Emperor's War conflicts among scholars over the Scepter system – a powerful external thinking unit composed of inorganic bionic neurons. Players must collect Scepters, upgrade them with Components, and leverage synergistic effects to defeat a challenging final boss.
