HoYoverse and the Honkai Star Rail community are winding up for Version 3.0. This patch will thrust a plethora of character arcs and plot lines into the role-playing gacha title. However, before Version 3.0 launch, a leak reveals that a classic character in HSR would be getting a new form. This character is Dan Heng, the latest form of whom is the Imbibitor Lunae.

Here is all that the leaks claim about Honkai Star Rail Dan Heng new form.

Honkai Star Rail Dan Heng New Form Might Release in 3.X Patch

Seele Leaks, the source of the leak, claimed that we will be getting Dan Heng new form or a skin in Version 3.X patches. This means it would be released within this year. This last piece of information comes from leaker HXG Diluc. In a repost, HXG Dilux said that another leaker DK2 has confirmed that it would be a new version of the character and not a special skin.

The leak also claims that this Dan Heng new form will be like a new playable unit. Maybe similar to the role Imbibitor Lunae fulfils in relation to Dan Heng currently. This is the opposite of a swappable Path like that with March 7th (Hunt).

If this turns out to be true, players will obtain this new Dan Heng form as a premium unit directly from banners, meaning they will not unlock it by progressing through a story arc.

The Honkai Star Rail leaks subreddit has flagged the post containing this leak as “Questionable.” This leak suggests that Dan Heng would stack a third form on top of his 4-star version and Imbibitor Lunae. But of course, we are yet to get the official details about this Dan Heng form.

HoYoverse could follow a similar model for older characters

Now, we are not saying that this leak is a hundred per cent trustworthy. But if it does prove credible, then it’s terrific news for older characters in Honkai: Star Rail.

If HoYoverse is willing to provide Dan Heng with a comeback, why not with the other characters? The units might only resemble the old characters in terms of their visual design but be completely different in all other respects. And the release of new Paths, which is ongoing now, can serve to make them relevant.

For those casting doubts upon this proposition, they should consider the case of the Trailblazer. In each of the three years since Honkai: Star Rail’s release, this character has unlocked newer Paths. Moreover, version 3.0 will see the Trailblazer on the Remembrance Path as the first character for all players who’ve played the campaign to get to Amphoreus.

Another great example of making older characters relevant is March 7th’s Hunt form. Her gameplay kit in this form was a great addition to team comps, especially those led by Feixiao. Imbibitor Lunae made Dan Heng relevant again, a character that had been overshadowed by other releases, like Blade, even though the kit was completely different.

We think this is great means for HoYoverse to bring back beloved characters. Blade, Kafka, Jingliu, Jing Yuan – we could go on mentioning such characters that had to be abandoned due to insufficiently powerful kits in various respects.

But only time will tell what HoYoverse actually has in store for its players.
