The brand-new 5-star character Yunli will be released along with the update. Players will be able to acquire this new Destruction unit with their Stellar Jades or Star Ral Special Passes. Alongside Yunli, Huohuo’s limited-time character banners will go live. Moreover, various new events are set to commence during the patch.

The banner schedule for version 2.4 is as follows:

Phase One

• Yunli (5-star)
• Huohuo (5-star)
• Hanya (4-star)
• Lynx (4-star)
• Yukong (4-star)

Phase Two

• Jiaoqiu (5-star)
• Sparkle (5-star)

Apart from that, Yunli, Huohuo, Jiaoqiu, and Sparkle's signature Light Cone banners will be available alongside their respective limited-time character banners. Among the new update’s hype, many players may forget that version 2.4 is set to end a day early. This means the limited-time content will expire a day earlier than intended.
