Honkai Star Rail Version 1.2 Livestream Recap

You can view the Version trailer here, titled “Even Immortality Ends.”

New Character – Blade

“A member of the Stellaron Hunters, and a swordsman who abandoned his blade.

Pledges loyalty to Destiny's Slave, and possesses a terrifying self-healing ability.”

Blade is a 5-star Wind character in Honkai: Star Rail, following the Path of Destruction. Blade's kit allows him to deal damage and sustain himself in battle. Lots of footage of Blade solo-ing different kinds of content has been circulating in the community thanks to his self-sufficiency in battle.

New Character – Kafka

“On the Interastral Peace Corporation's wanted list, Kafka's only has two things — her name, and a single sentence: “Likes collecting coats.”

Little is known about this Stellaron Hunter, other than that she is one of Destiny's Slave Elio's most trusted members.

In order to achieve Elio's envisioned future, Kafka gets to work.”

We also get to play as Kafka in the tutorial part of the game at the very start. She leaves a strong impression, both as a character in the story and as a playable unit, and there is no lack of Kafka wanters.

She is a 5-star Lightning character following the Path of Nihility. Read more about Kafka here.

New Character – Luka

“The boxing champion in Belobog's Underworld, and one of Wildfire's most capable fighters.

The consecutive champion of the Fight Club inspires the dreams of children in the Underworld with his enthusiasm.”

He is a 4-star Physical character following the Path of Nihility. Despite his Nihility alignment, he has a lot of DMG output on top of the Bleed that comes from his abilities. Read more about Luka here.
