Honkai Star Rail 2.7 drip marketing schedule and speculations

Next 5* Characters After Rappa and 2.6 Light Cones via [Sakura Haven] byu/CTheng inHonkaiStarRail_leaks

A leak from one of the reliable sources, Sakura Haven, suggests that Sunday and Tingyun will be the next 5-star characters who will be released after Rappa in Honkai Star Rail 2.7.

Since Rappa is already scheduled for the upcoming version 2.6, players can safely assume that both Sunday and Tingyun will likely be announced during version 2.7’s drip marketing campaign. As for the 4-star character, there's no information available yet. Therefore, Trailblazers must wait for the official announcement.

As suggested by previous leaks, the new version or the 5-star version of Tingyun is expected to tread on the Nihility Path while Sunday will likely follow the Harmony Path similar to his sister Robin. This means Tingyun will excel in debuffing the opponents while Sunday will buff his allies to boost their fighting prowess.
