Being able to utilize the best team comps and builds for Hanya in is recommended, as this can unlock the character’s potential as a support unit in parties. Hanya is known for being a judge of the Ten-Lords Commission of the Xianzhou Alliance – she is also the sister of Xueyi, another judge for the Commission. Hanya is one of the characters added with 1.5, along with Argenti and Huohuo. Contrary to the other two, however, she is a 4-star unit.

As someone jealously eyeing Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail’s food collaborations with other countries, I’m pleased to report that the United States is finally getting some love. Honkai: Star Rail is collaborating with Pelicana Chicken in a new event, and I’m coming hungry.

In order to farm all the necessary materials for Argenti’s character Ascension in , you need to know what challenges to take and what opponents to defeat. Argenti is a 5-star hero in the game and one that follows a Path in the lore that is different from the Path he takes on during battle. In the story, Argenti follows the Path of the Beauty as a member of the Knights of the Beauty. However, as Beauty is not a playable Path in , Argenti is aligned to the Path of the Erudition, which makes him a specialist in dealing damage against multiple opponents.

There are several materials you will need to farm for Hanya’s character Ascension in , as well as others for her Traces – the official name for a character’s abilities in HoYoverse’s turn-based RPG. Although Hanya had already appeared in-game through the Return to Darkness Light Cone, she makes her debut as one of the playable characters in 1.5, along with Argenti and Huohuo. Contrary to the two other heroes, Hanya is a 4-star character. The judge for the Ten-Lords Commission uses Physical DMG in combat and follows the Path of the Harmony. This means Hanya is a support character focused on buffing her teammates.

miHoYo’s latest update for Honkai: Star Rail is now live with Version 1.5, “The Crepuscule Zone.” It adds a new area, the Fyxestroll Garden in the Ten-Lords Commission, and new story content centred on Huohuo, the Judge-in-training. Not only has the five-star Abundance character received a new animated short, but an episode of “Keeping up with Star Rail” also discusses her abilities.

Farming all the materials for Huohuo’s character Ascension in can be a daunting task, especially if you do not know where to look. Luckily, not only are her main materials known, but most of them could be pre-farmed ahead of her release in Version 1.5. Huohuo is a new 5-star character that was announced during the 1.5 livestream and will be arriving in the game along with Argenti and Hanya, two new additions to the turn-based RPG. The young foxian girl is a judge on the Ten-Lords Commission and was recruited due to her supernatural ability to detect evil presences.

Giving the best build and team comps to Huohuo in is a great way of optimizing the character’s full potential after her Ascension and leveling process. Huohuo is a 5-star playable character added with 1.5, along with Argenti and Hanya. The foxian girl uses Wind in battle and follows the Path of the Abundance. This means that she plays the role of a team healer. Huohuo is capable of not only healing but also removing debuffs, which is crucial in encounters against certain bosses in the game.

Fresh off its nomination for Best Mobile Game at The Game Awards 2023, miHoYo Games’ Honkai: Star Rail has received a new trailer. It showcases Huohuo, the upcoming five-star Abundance character who is also a Ten Lords Commission Judge-in-training. While tasked with hunting ghosts, she’s unfortunately too scared to face them.

With Honkai: Star Rail’s next big update, Version 1.5, “The Crepuscule Zone”, out this week, a new Myriad Celestia trailer is available, focusing on Huohuo. The new five-star character, who follows the Path of the Abundance and deals Wind damage, is a Judge-in-training for the Ten Lords Commission. While tasked with catching ghosts, she’s also afraid of them.

Farming the materials for Jingliu’s Ascension in is an important step in taking the DPS character closer to her full potential. Jingliu was first introduced as a character and Jing Yuan’s former master in a short promotional video, but later appeared in the game itself as an NPC that follows and then challenges Yanqing. Jingliu became available as a playable character in 1.4, along with Guinaifen and Topaz. She is a 5-star character who uses Ice in combat and follows the Path of the Destruction. Jingliu has a unique gameplay kit, which sees her drain the HP of her own allies.

She is a Quantum character who follows the Path of the Preservation. However, Fu Xuan is not a shielder in a traditional sense, like Gepard or March 7th.

Lynx was finally introduced as a playable character in Phase 2 banners of 1.3, along with the 5-star support, Fu Xuan. Contrary to the Master Diviner of the Xianzhou Luofu, however, Lynx is a 4-star hero from Belobog. The young Landau character uses the Quantum element in battle and follows the Path of the Abundance.
