Honkai Star Rail 2.7 leaks have revealed details on new customization options, character buffs, and map expansions.
With Honkai Star Rail 2.7 update, the game’s universe continues to expand. And fans of this popular RPG by HoYoverse can look forward to exciting new features and customization options. Although the HSR 2.6 update just dropped, leaks about Version 2.7 have surfaced. Among these leaks are potential new characters, a new customization mode for the Astral Express, and even character buffs tied to new interactive features.
Honkai Star Rail 2.7 Characters: Fugue and Sunday
A key highlight of this version is the HSR 2.7 banners introducing two new 5-star characters, Fugue and Sunday. Developers expect these characters to showcase unique abilities that could disrupt current team compositions. They anticipate Fugue, rumored to be an advanced support unit, and Sunday, a character with DPS skills, will become crowd favorites due to their roles in the storyline. Players are excited not only for the new characters themselves but also for the potential they bring to form new team dynamics and expand gameplay strategies.
The leaks also suggest that players will be able to pre-farm materials for Fugue and Sunday. This is good news for those wanting to power up these characters as soon as they arrive.
Expansion of the Astral Express Map
The Party Car and Pom-Pom’s Coatroom
One of the most intriguing leaks is about a map expansion for the Astral Express. The developers will add the Party Car, a new area on the Astral Express, alongside existing areas like the Parlor Car and Passenger Cabin. According to leaks, this Party Car will function as a café and bar where characters can gather, play board games, and interact with each other.
The Party Car will also include Pom-Pom’s coatroom, a space where you might see the character Pom-Pom in various outfits. Fans rumor that Pom-Pom will be the first character to receive alternative skins, allowing for more in-depth customization of fan-favorite characters.
HSR Astral Express Customization and Display Items
Another leak suggests that players may soon be able to decorate the Astral Express. These include display items like plush dolls and robotic figures from various game locations. Items such as Peppy, a popular doll, and a miniature Little Robot from the Herta Space Station have been mentioned as display options. This could make the Astral Express feel more like a home for players.
Though it’s not yet confirmed, players may be able to place these items in designated zones. They could even choose where they go across the Astral Express. This feature would bring HSR closer to other HoYoverse games like Genshin Impact, where customization options have been a huge hit.
The Astral Express has long been a static area within the game, serving as a simple transition between missions rather than a customizable space. However, with the new leaks, HoYoverse seems to be moving in a more interactive and personalized direction for HSR. Players could potentially look forward to decorating rooms, customizing characters’ looks, and creating a homier environment.
There’s also a lot of speculation around a locked room on the Astral Express, may be the Trailblazer’s bedroom. While it hasn’t been confirmed, many are hopeful that it will eventually open, allowing players to customize it and even add the bathtub feature there.
Bathtub Feature and Character Buffs in Honkai Star Rail 2.7 Update
A new gameplay element coming in Version 2.7 could be the Bathtub Feature. This allows the main character, Trailblazer, to receive temporary buffs through bathing rituals. These buffs are rumored to include increased ATK, Ultimate DMG, and DoT (Damage over Time), depending on the type of bath chosen.
The leak details several types of buffs:
- Bath Efficacy: Increases ATK.
- Clear Fragrance: Enhances Ultimate DMG.
- Mysterious Massage: Boosts Follow-up ATK DMG.
- Warm Current: Raises DoT dealt by characters.
This feature could add a new layer of strategy to the game. Players might select different bath options based on the challenges ahead. Similar to buffs in other games, like Zenless Zone Zero’s Sixth Street ramen shop, the bathtub buffs could depend on the character currently in the player’s party.
Now, though these leaks are yet to be confirmed, the details have created significant excitement in the Honkai Star Rail community. As the beta tests for Honkai Star Rail 2.7 update continue, fans can look forward to more details. Hopefully official confirmation of these features from HoYoverse could be coming soon.
