According to leaks, new characters in 2.1 may offer players the hardest banner choices in the game yet, especially for those who have a limited amount of Stellar Jade. Version 2.1 is expected to arrive in March with three new playable heroes having already been announced. The next patch should see the arrival of Acheron, Aventurine, and Gallagher, with the first two being 5-star units, while the latter is a 4-star healer. No other information has been officially shared, but several leaks about them have, including what may be a game-breaking ability in 2.1.
The structure of the character banners in Version 2.1 has allegedly leaked, according to new rumored information. According to the leaker known as Rian Beatergod on X (via ), Phase 1 banners should feature Acheron along with Fu Xuan’s rerun, while Phase 2 should be composed of Aventurine’s debut and a rerun of Topaz. if the structure is, in fact, true, then it should be extremely difficult for players with a limited Stellar Jade budget to make a decision on who to pull for in .
The 5-star heroes presented in the leaks may make it hard when choosing what characters players should invest their Star Rail Passes on. Acheron is a new Lightning Nihility DPS who may have a similar kit to that of Kafka but can be a boon when added to Nihility-focused teams, as DoTs usually stack up. Fu Xuan, on the other hand, is a well-established damage mitigator for several types of team comps in .
Fu Xuan does not provide shields as most Preservation units do, but instead lowers the damage income and redirects a portion of it to herself.
In Phase 2, making a choice will continue to be complicated – perhaps even more. Aventurine is a new Preservation character who is rumored to be able to shield allies and, in doing so, increase his damage output against enemies. Aventurine’s leaked gameplay kit in hints at an aggressive shielder who can positively contribute to the team’s performance. Alternatively, Topaz is also a well-established character, being mostly used as a secondary damage dealer who can melt through opponents with the proper build and team comp.
With two of the characters already proven to be solid additions to team comps accompanying two exciting new additions, players may find it hard to know who to pull for in Version 2.1. The 5-star units can be hard to get and given the game’s limitation on free Stellar Jade, they may be required to choose instead of pulling for all four. Nevertheless, banner leaks in should always be taken with a grain of salt, as they may be subject to change ahead of release or completely incorrect.
