Honkai: Star Rail - Sparkle Character Ascension (& Materials)

Despite her release still being a few weeks away, there are already several 4.6 leaks about Arlecchino, many of which are reliable. Also known as the Knave, this Fatui Harbinger is one of the most anticipated playable characters in the game. Leaks about her have been occurring even before the release of Fontaine and the introduction of the character as an NPC in the story. Now, however, HoYoverse has finally confirmed Arlecchino’s release in 4.6, putting a timer on the long wait for players who want to use the Pyro unit.

The 2.1 livestream codes are now available for redemption, offering you a plethora of in-game prizes as a reward for your continued support and for spending time watching the special event. As a live-service title, the turn-based RPG consistently receives updates that add new content, be that in the form of new playable characters, story missions, or even limited-time events. Before every update, however, developer HoYoverse hosts a special livestream to announce the most important parts of the upcoming content, including leak confirmations, such as that of a game-breaking ability in 2.1.

A new set of 2.2 leaks are hinting at one of the new characters in the patch not being worth pulling for. The turn-based RPG is in the final stretch of Version 2.2, which introduced the world of Penacony. While a lot of information about Version 2.1 has yet to be confirmed with the official 2.1 livestream, developer HoYoverse has already announced some of the characters for Version 2.2 – one of which has had details about their gameplay kit leaked. Unfortunately, that information suggests they may not be worth the Stellar Jade investment.

Interested players can already start farming Arlecchino’s materials in if a new Version 4.6 leak is to be believed. The Fatui Harbinger known as the Knave is a long-awaited character that first debuted as an NPC in the Fontaine storyline. Arlecchino’s presence in the game has long been teased and, even before the release of the Nation of Hydro, there were a few alleged leaks about. Now, however, Arlecchino’s release in has been officially confirmed by HoYoverse and it is set for Version 4.6, the next major patch in the live-service RPG.

A new character for 2.2 has just been announced, and their official reveal comes as unexpected news, especially considering how their very arrival may be impossible in terms of lore. With every new patch, the turn-based RPG gets new playable characters added to the roster, many of which initially make their debut as an NPC only to be made fully available later on. This is the case with Acheron and Aventurine in 2.1, for instance, after their story debuts in Version 2.0.

The new rumored character for 4.6, Arlecchino, already has one major problem ahead of her speculated release as a playable unit. One of the eleven Fatui Harbingers, the Knave is one of the most pleasing members of the enemy faction, much like Childe. The head of the House of the Hearth already made her debut as an NPC during the Fontaine storyline, though she has been anticipated as a playable character, despite the lack of a formal confirmation from developer HoYoverse. There have, however, been leaks about Arlecchino, hinting at details about her and her gameplay.

An unexpected character in may be getting a massive overhaul in Version 2.1 if the current leaks are to be believed. The turn-based RPG by HoYoverse has entered its second year of content with the release of Penacony in Version 2.0 and is moving forward in its Trailblaze Missions, offering a larger perspective of the intergalactic struggles that pursue the Nameless. Nevertheless, there are already leaks about the next patch, such as a huge reward in 2.1.

A new leak for Honkai: Star Rail has revealed gameplay footage of the upcoming five-star characters, Acheron and Aventurine, who are expected to join the roster in update 2.1. They won't be the only additions to the game, as HoYoverse has confirmed the arrival of an additional four-star unit named Gallagher.

Farming the proper materials for Chiori’s character Ascension in is the ideal way of optimizing your own time and getting exactly what you need to max her out, both in terms of level and Talent level. Chiori is a new 5-star Geo unit added to the game with Version 4.5. Although she had been introduced as an NPC back in Version 4.3’s “Roses and Muskets” event, she is now making her debut as a playable character. The Inazuman stylist residing in Fontaine is a sub-DPS and Geo support, capable of dealing off-field damage and assisting with Crystallize reactions.

Following the best Kalpalata Lotus farming route in is the ideal way of optimizing your resource-gathering process, as it can save your time and keep things more organized so that you know exactly where you have already gone through and what your next farming destination should be. Kalpalata Lotus is a Local Speciality that is exclusive to the region of Sumeru. These blue-colored flowers with a yellow core can be found spread out across several areas of the jungle portion of the land of Wisdom, but not in the desert, which is also known as Great Red Sand.

The release date, characters, banners, and events for 4.5 have been revealed and highlighted in the Version 4.5 livestream. This new update follows the massive Version 4.4, which added a whole new area in the northern portion of Liyue, and introduced two new playable characters, as well as the annual Lantern Rite Festival event. With Version 4.4 nearing its end, developer HoYoverse held the special 4.5 livestream, which announced most of the content planned for arrival in the upcoming patch, which includes a new and much-needed 5-star Geo sub-DPS unit.

A few 2.1 leaks are hinting at an event that may provide some new and intimate moments with well-beloved characters. The turn-based RPG by HoYoverse has just reached the second half of Version 2.0, which introduced the planet of Penacony as an explorable destination, as well as a roster of new allies and enemies. In fact, the arrival of Phase 2 also saw the addition of the playable version of Sparkle in , as she was previously introduced as a mysterious NPC.
