As usual, more Honkai Star Rail leaks have reared their head. The latest sheds light on some interesting details, including new characters coming to the 2.0 update.

Honkai Star Rail 2.0 update all characters leaked

Interestingly, it seems like 1.6 will be the last banner before Honkai Star Rail jumps directly to 2.0. Does this mean a massive overhaul of some sort is headed to the free-to-play action RPG? That remains unclear at this point, unfortunately. But what seems likely is that some exciting characters may be on the horizon.

Here are the characters players can expect for 2.0:

1) Hanabi/Sparkle (5-star)

• Path: The Harmony
• Element: Quantum

2) Black Swan (5-star)

• Path: The Nihility
• Element: Wind

3) Misha (4-star)

• Path: The Destruction
• Element: Ice

Although players often clamor for the 5-star heroes due to their unique kits and rarity, 2.0's 4-star character Misha may also be worth a look. They follow the Path of Destruction and perform attacks belonging to the Ice element. Those who intend to skip the next banner may find this handy.

For those out of the loop, Honkai Star Rail banner 1.4 will be launching with the 5-star character Jingliu. She was introduced during the Xianzhou Luofu arc. As a skilled sword-user with a blindfold, she is still shrouded in mystery. The next update will allow players to get more intimate with her playstyle, especially since she is also a Destruction character of the Ice element.

While many players will surely be attracted by Jingliu's allure, others may hold off on spending their precious Jades. After all, future banners may present more appealing characters that they could be interested in. Misha having the same core Path and Element allows players who skip out on Jingliu to have a similar character, even though it is likely they will have very different playstyles.

The 1.3 Banner is live in the game right now. Players can grab the 5-star Preservation character Fu Xuan, who is the head of the Divine Commission. She specializes in the Quantum element and helps buff and sustain player teams.
