HoYoverse broadcast a immense live broadcast of Honkai Star Rail 2.7 and showed who will be on the tour HSR 2.7 Banners. Sunday – the same Sunday whose antics caused merry havoc in Penacona earlier in Updates 2.X – makes his debut, and Tingyun – Fugue brings an venerable friend back to life. These banners probably won’t come as a surprise if you’re up to date with drip marketing, but in the official release trailer we got to see some of their skills in action along with some story context.
If you prefer the Nihility and Harmony characters but want a second chance at recruiting some characters from the past, HSR 2.7 has some good things planned.
Below, we’ve explained who you can expect to see on the Honkai Star Rail 2.7 banners, as well as a little about how Fuga and Niedziela perform in battle.
Honkai Star Rail 2.7 Banners – Sunday and Jing Yuan
The first round of banners will be released on December 4, 2024 and depicts Sunday, who has now descended from the heavens and is determined to create a utopia as a straightforward man – straightforward, but quite unique. He is a five-star Harmony character, and his combat skills combine the best of Bronya, Tingyun, and Sparkle, with an ability that speeds up the action while amplifying damage, and an ultimate that increases critical damage and restores energy. Sunday’s talent also means that his skills provide the selected character with a significant escalate in critical hit rate.
He is joined on a separate banner by Jing Yuan, a five-star Lightning Erudition character. Jing Yuan’s most crucial thing is to summon his Lightning Lord – that’s not a euphemism – once per round. Thunder Lord deals damage up to 10 times to all enemies, depending on how often Jing Yuan used his skills and ultimates before the Lord appeared.
If you already have Jing Yuan, Sunday will become a powerful ally for him. His progression allows him to escalate the Lightning Lord’s damage more effectively, and his critical hit rate and damage buffs make the Lord more useful.
As always, HoYoverse has not said which 4-star characters will appear in these banners.
Honkai Star Rail 2.7 Banners – Grout and Firefly
When the banners change on December 25, 2024, Tingyun – Fugue will take the stage along with a rerun of Firefly. Fuga is what was left of Tingyun after Ruan Mei saved her from Phantylia long ago in the 1.2 story, a shell with no identity. Fugue is a five-star Nihility character whose abilities escalate the target’s breaking damage and allow him to reduce the enemy’s durability, even if he has no corresponding weakness. She also has a chance to reduce enemy defense, and her talent applies Cloud Flame Mirror, which causes enemies to take Fire Break damage a second time under certain circumstances. Allies who attack broken enemies affected by Cloud Flame Glow deal Super Break damage. So it’s no wonder he’s here with Firefly.
Firefly, who runs on the second banner next to Fugue, transforms into a SAM combat bot for combat, implants Fire’s weaknesses, and deals extremely high damage that scales with her interrupt effect.
