Honkai Star Rail 2.7 Banner Leaks: New 5-Star Characters Leak

For the fans of Honkai Star Rail, the excitement is growing as new leaks about version 2.7 have popped up. This game by HoYoverse, loved for its amazing visuals and cool characters, uses a "gacha" system, where you try your luck to get characters. And now, the rumors about the HSR 2.7 banners have gotten everyone curious, especially about two characters—Sunday and SP Tingyun.

Let’s take a look at what the leaks are saying about these characters and other updates in the Honkai Star Rail 2.7 banner.

Who Are the New Characters in Honkai Star Rail 2.7 Banner?

According to the leaks, the stars of the HSR 2.7 banners are Sunday and SP Tingyun. Both are said to be five-star characters, which makes them really sought-after by players. Here’s what we’ve heard about them so far:

1. Sunday (Imaginary, Harmony)

Sunday has been a fan favorite since his introduction in the Penacony storyline. With his mysterious personality and deep connection to the plot, fans have been eagerly waiting for him to become a playable character. According to the leaks, Sunday will finally be available in the first phase of the 2.7 banner.

• Path: Harmony
• Element: Imaginary

This combo is interesting because it suggests Sunday might be a support character who helps boost his team. Imaginary element users in the game are usually known for controlling the battlefield, while the Harmony path means he could have abilities to make his allies stronger, much like Bronya. Even though we don’t know his full abilities yet, many think he’ll have a balanced kit that focuses on teamwork.

2. SP Tingyun (Fire, Nihility)

Tingyun is another character fans love, but her fate was left unclear after the Xianzhou Luofu storyline. Now, it looks like she’ll return in a brand new form. Leaks suggest SP Tingyun will be part of the second phase of the 2.7 banner, and her new look will be super cool, featuring a nine-tailed fox design.

• Path: Nihility
• Element: Fire

SP Tingyun’s new form means she will probably be a damage dealer or a debuffer, fitting the Nihility path. This is a big change from her original version, and with the Fire element, she could be a strong character in Honkai Star Rail for both attacking and defending in battles.

Phases for Honkai Star Rail 2.7 Banners

The leaks give us an idea of the release order for the HSR 2.7 banners:

• Phase 1: Sunday (Imaginary, Harmony)
• Phase 2: SP Tingyun (Fire, Nihility)

This means players will get the chance to pull for Sunday first, followed by SP Tingyun later in the update. If you’re planning your pulls, it's a good idea to save your resources accordingly, especially if you’re aiming to get both characters.

A New 4-Star Character in HSR 2.7: Mr. Reca

Apart from the big 5-star characters, the leaks also mention a new 4-star character in version 2.7—Mr. Reca. Not much is known about his abilities yet, but many believe he might be a healer because he’s linked to a new Lightcone (weapon) called Dream’s Montage, which is made for Abundance characters (supportive and healing types).

So even if you don’t manage to get the 5-star characters, Mr. Reca could still be a nice addition to your team.

HSR Version 2.7 Release Date

Version 2.7 is expected to follow the regular six-week update cycle, which means it will likely be released in October 2024.

HoYoverse usually confirms these updates with a special livestream where they share official info about the banners, events, and characters. So, fans are eagerly waiting for this livestream to clear up the rumors and show more about the new characters’ abilities.

That’s all we know for now, but it’s always best to wait for the official announcements from HoYoverse to confirm every detail.
