The Honkai Star Rail 2.4 livestream showcased various content from the patch, including the Relic substat recommendation feature. You can expect to view the frequently used set for a specific character and get suggestions for both primary and subsidiary attributes. This can be useful to newcomers or someone struggling to find the right gear for their playable unit.

Furthermore, you will get suggestions for characters when checking Planar Ornaments from the Simulated Universe interface or Relics from the Cavern of Corrosion.

4) Relic sorting feature

The Relics are the cornerstone for characters in Honkai Star Rail, as they grant bonus effects and attributes. You are bound to accumulate them over time, and with an advanced sorting feature, you should be able to find a particular piece. Fortunately, version 2.4 will add such changes, granting you the authority to arrange them.

The officials will add an option to save your filter choices so that you can navigate quickly through the Relic inventory. Additionally, you will find options for quick lock and quick discard functions for the gears in the next patch.

3) Advanced access to mission and events

The Honkai Star Rail 2.4 update aims to improve the accessibility of Trailblaze Continuance and events by quite a bit. The patch will feature a separate button to unlock them without the need to complete their prerequisites. This will save a lot of time for both newcomers and veterans alike.

You no longer have to complete some of the tedious quests, as long as your account is above Trailblaze Level 21. All you have to do is use the Finality’s Vision to skip the pre-requisites, and the content will play out normally.

2) Temporary teleportation to new map

While temporary teleportation to the new map is integrated with the previous feature, it has some gameplay-enhancing potential that must be discussed separately.

For starters, it grants the freedom to locate important domains and resources without the hassle of completing an entire mission. You can also chart out the routes in the new area. Since the progress will be carried over to the permanent version, you may as well collect the chest and solve the puzzles if you can.

For those wondering, you have to complete the associated mission to properly unlock the new map. In the meantime, you can switch between the displays of permanent and temporary areas.

1) New Path for March 7th

Lastly, March 7th will get access to a new Path in Honkai Star Rail 2.4. No, the Hunt variant of this 4-star unit isn't a separate entity; instead, she will have the ability to switch Paths.

It does not necessarily translate to a major change, but this feature has the potential to set a strong precedent for characters who are collecting dust. Going forward, you can expect them to be rehashed, with the ability to switch between kits.

Before the version 2.4 update, Trailblazer was the only one possessing similar abilities. They were granted such power, considering they are the main protagonist of the story. But, March 7th joining the league is a huge deal since she is nothing more than a playable 4-star character.
