Blade in Honkai Star Rail

Honkai Star Rail 1.2 leaks have started pouring in ahead of the 1.1 update. While there is no information about the release date, a lot of information about the banners and important events that will take place in the update have been hinted at.

With every update, HoYoverse is known for adding interesting events, quests, and characters. All of these combined give the update a new storyline that the players need to follow.

An initial leak hinted at the arrival of Kafka, Blade, and Luka as playable characters in the 1.2 update. Honkai Star Rail has even teased their arrival in the game.

Here is everything we know so far about the 1.2 update and the in-game additions it is going to carry.

Contents

  • Honkai Star Rail 1.2 banners
  • Genshin Impact 1.2 relic leaks
  • A huge fight including Dan Heng and Jing Yuan

Note: This is an ever evolving hub and will be updated as more leaks become available online.

Honkai Star Rail 1.2 banners

As per usual, the update will be divided into two phases. Each phase will see a new 5-star character. In the first phase, players will see the Blade’s banner. He is going to belong to the Wind element and will have Destruction as his path.

According to HoYoverse, Blade is described as:

“A swordsman who abandoned his body to become a blade. Birth name unknown. He pledges loyalty to Destiny’s Slave, and possesses a terrifying self-healing ability. Blade wields an ancient sword riddled with cracks, just like his body and his mind.”

In the second phase, Kafka will be introduced. She will have a Lightning element and will have Nihility as her path. She was earlier teased by HoYoverse on their social media, and described as:

“On the Interastral Peace Corporation’s wanted list, Kafka’s entry only has two things — her name, and a single sentence: “Likes collecting coats.” Little is known about this Stellaron Hunter aside from her being one of Destiny’s Slave Elio’s most trusted members. In order to achieve Elio’s envisioned future, Kafka gets to work.”

Sometime during one of the phases, the game will also introduce Luka, who is a 4-star character. His element is going to be Physical and he will also belong to the Nihility path, just like Kafka. He is described as:

“An optimistic and carefree fighter with a mechanical arm. Skilled in mixed martial arts and is a Wildfire member. From the fight cage to the battlefield, and from a fighter to a warrior, Luka uses his strength to protect the people of the Underworld. He wishes to bring hope to others precisely because he had experienced despair himself.”

Genshin Impact 1.2 relic leaks 

Another one of the reliable Honkai Star Rail 1.2 leaks suggests that more relics will be added in the game. A series of images were found on Reddit that gave the names and powers of all the upcoming relics.

A huge fight including Dan Heng and Jing Yuan

According to a leaked cut scene posted on Twitter, Jing Yuan can be seen in the new boss’ trap. This forces Dan Heng to change form and shift to the leaked Imbibitor Lunae form and throw a spear at the boss.

Following that, Jing Yuan is held in the air by some unknown opponent and his Lightening Lord ability strikes the boss which causes her to fall in the ground. At this point, Jing Yuan falls to the ground sharply and is saved by Dan Heng.

In addition to this, hints surrounding area expansion and more playable areas being added have come to light and players can expect more information about them in the near future.
