Honkai Star Rail 2.6 leaks hint at upcoming character reruns

A reliable leaker, StepLeaker, revealed some information regarding the Honkai Star Rail 2.6 patch. While the hype around the upcoming version leaks has just subsided, this rumor has caught a good chunk of the community off guard since there were little to no leaks addressing the gacha banners except for the new 5-star character Rappa.

Having said that, let’s take a look at the Honkai Star Rail 2.6 leaks regarding the upcoming rerun banners.

Note: This article is based on leaks and is subject to change with the final release of the patch. Readers are advised to take these speculations with a grain of salt.

Recent Honkai Star Rail 2.6 leak unveils upcoming rerun banners

(Weird) Hint for Possible 2.6 Rerun Banners via [StepLeaker] byu/CTheng inHonkaiStarRail_leaks

It's customary for HoYoverse to release a couple of rerun banners alongside the new 5-star character, and the upcoming 2.6 update is not an exception. Rappa is set to be released during the patch and according to the leak, three existing 5-stars are also scheduled to get their first and second rerun banners.

The three 5-star characters who will receive a rerun banner during Honkai Star Rail 2.6 are as follows:

• Acheron
• Aventurine
• Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae

After her release in version 2.1, Acheron has been one of the meta-defining characters in this turn-based gacha title. While some Trailblazers saving for her for a long time have pulled and gotten her after her release, others may have failed due to losing 50/50 or skipping the banner for another 5-star. Such players might now get another chance and add Acheron to their collection.

After three patches, Acheron is still dominating in most high-tier activities be it in Memory of Chaos, Apocalyptic Shadow, or Divergent Universe. If you are looking for a good Lightning DPS unit, Acheron is the character you should be pulling for.

Apart from Acheron, Aventurine is also rumored to receive a rerun banner during Honkai Star Rail 2.6. Over the past three updates, he has become one of the popular sustainer units in the game in which players should have to build some necessary team compositions that feature the FUA playstyle.

The third and last rumored character to receive a rerun banner in version 2.6 is Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae. If this rumor comes to be true, then this will be the second time DHIL is receiving a rerun banner. Unfortunately, while he is still an excellent unit, the meta of the title has shifted quite a lot. Therefore, players will likely pull for either Acheron or Aventurine instead.
