Players should completely skip pulling for both Robin and Boothill in 2.2 and, instead, pull for some of the game’s older characters. Robin and Boothill are the new playable units arriving with the next patch. Both of them were confirmed by developer HoYoverse a while back, but the details about them and how they play have finally been revealed. Their kits had been abundantly described in the several 2.2 leaks and rumors and it is now confirmed that most of the information was true. Robin is a support unit, while Boothill is a DPS.

Acheron’s real name in has allegedly been leaked before the release of Version 2.3, and the answer may provide more answers about her true identity – and with it, more details about her past and how she connects to the larger story in the game. Acheron is one of the new characters in 2.1, where she was finally added as a playable unit. She had already debuted as an NPC in Version 2.0 and the release of Penacony as an explorable destination. Nevertheless, since Acheron first appeared, she has been highly awaited by players.
This article contains spoilers for the main story quests added with Honkai: Star Rail 2.0 and 2.1.
If they beat the gacha’s odds and pull her, they can now control Acheron in the overworld and in battle – and she is a spectacular DPS.

According to new information provided by the leaker known as HXG, which was shared in a post tagged as “” on Reddit, Acheron’s “”. Roughly translated by users in the replies to the original post on Reddit, these characters compose something to the likes of “”, which would point to her real name being Raiden Mei.

During the main Trailblaze Quests added with Version 2.1, Acheron and Welt meet up and have an honest conversation with one another. They talk about their pasts and Welt expresses a notable understanding of who she is based on his past meetings with Raiden Mei in the universe. While Welt does not question Acheron directly about this, the 5-star Lightning does tell him that she is not who he thinks she is, meaning that she is not the Raiden Mei that Welt encountered in his adventures before the events of .
The revelation shared by Acheron is a meaningful way of separating the turn-based RPG from, despite a lot of shared elements between their universes and the general franchise. At that point, Acheron established herself as a design-based expy for Raiden Mei, but not
