Honkai Star Rail Version 1.2
Honkai Star Rail 1.2 Banners
The first half of the banners will feature Blade.
The second half will have Kafka and Luka.
New Character – Blade (5-star Wind Destruction)
“A member of the Stellaron Hunters, and a swordsman who abandoned his blade.
Pledges loyalty to Destiny’s Slave, and possesses a terrifying self-healing ability.”
Blade’s kit centers around him using his own HP to empower his abilities and juggling this with his Talent that can restore his HP, making him a viable unit on his own. He’s self-sustaining, meaning you can just slot him into any party and he’d perform well.
New Character – Kafka (5-star Lightning Nihility)
“On the Interastral Peace Corporation’s wanted list, Kafka’s only has two things — her name, and a single sentence: “Likes collecting coats.”
Little is known about this Stellaron Hunter, other than that she is one of Destiny’s Slave Elio’s most trusted members.
In order to achieve Elio’s envisioned future, Kafka gets to work.”
Kafka is now finally playable! Despite being a Nihilty character, she still has a high damage output thanks to her Shock-centric kit.
New Character – Luka (4-star Physical Nihility)
“The boxing champion in Belobog’s Underworld, and one of Wildfire’s most capable fighters.
The consecutive champion of the Fight Club inspires the dreams of children in the Underworld with his enthusiasm.”
Like Kafka, Luka is also a Nihility character that focuses on dealing damage, this time via the Bleed effect.
