Honkai: Star Rail Version 1.5 will add three characters and a new location

HoYoverse recently confirmed that Honkai: Star Rail Version 1.5 will arrive in just a bit over a week, and it will add three new characters along with a new location.

Specifically, this update’s main highlight is the addition of three new characters: Huohuo, Hanya, and Argenti. First up, Huhouo is a five-star Wind-Type character that follows the Path of Abundance. Huhuo is a promising new character as her Skill lets her restore HP to a single ally and nearby teammates. Plus, her Ultimate rejuvenates her allies’ Energy and empowers their attack.

Next is Hanya, a new four-star Physical-Type character following the Path of Harmony. She can afflict a target with Burden via her Skill, and she can deal increased damage to that enemy by attacking them for a set amount of times after being marked with Burden. This makes her a character that’s suited for dealing damage to a single target.

Finally, there’s Argenti, a five-star Physical-Type character following the Path of Erudition. Argenti is an elegant combatant, and his Ultimate allows him to damage enemies and trigger different effects depending on how much Energy is consumed.

Aside from new characters, the update will also add the new location Fyxestroll Garden in the Xianzhou Luofu. This place is one of the most dangerous spots in the Xianzhou Luofu as it has a lot of dangerous foes and spooky vibe.

This garden’s backstory is described as:

“A while back, the Creation Furnace Artisanship Commission was shattered, and the heliobi trapped inside were able to escape and find refuge in the Fyxestroll Garden. Heliobi are created from accumulated grievances and can inhabit individuals, manipulate their senses, and control their souls and even their bodies. The Fyxestroll Garden is already filled with yin energy and is littered with ancient suppression towers, stone monoliths, and gnarled trees, which contributes to its creepy atmosphere.”

There, players will assemble a ghost-hunting squad to unravel the various mysteries of the garden. While doing so, players will get a helping hand from one of the Xianzhou’s most formidable forces: The Ten-Lords Commission.

Finally, players can also look forward to various in-game event such as helping March 7th restore her cherished photographs to their original conditions. There will also be a Guest Book feature update, as well as the Genius Society’s latest update, “Simulated Universe: World 8.”

Honkai: Star Rail Version 1.5 will be released on November 15, 2023. Meanwhile, the game is now available on PC, iOS, Android, and PS5.
