The Cloud Knight of the Xianzhou Loufu and the upcoming 5-star character in Honkai Star Rail, Jing Yuan, is an AoE lightning DPS following the Path of Erudition. He is a member of both the Xianzhou Alliance and Xianzhou Luofu.

His banner will be released after the current Phase I banner featuring Seele ends.

The following 4-star characters are expected to have boosted drops in their banners:

• Sushang: Sushang is a playable 4-star character following the Path of The Hunt. She is a Physical DPS.
• March 7: The game’s mascot and an Ice unit, March 7, follow the Path of Preservation. She is a support unit capable of generating shields.
• Tingyun: Tingyun of the Xianzhou Luofu is a Lightning support character. She follows the Path of Harmony.

While all three of these 4-star characters are incredibly versatile, Tingyun is likely the one character players will want to get duplicates of while chasing Jing Yuan. Tingyun is one of the best supports the game offers, primarily thanks to her unique skill that buffs an ally’s damage over several turns.

Players can refer to the countdown timer above to keep track of Jing Yuan’s limited banner. The countdown is based on the Asia server’s banner timings.

• Rarity: 5-star
• Max Level: 80
