HoYoverse has announced the major update 2.4 “Duel Under the Azure Sky” for the turn-based RPG Honkai: Star Rail. It adds a new storyline to the game, in which the Star Rail crew returns to the world of Lofu Xianzhou. Players will be able to meet old friends and see new faces at the Martial Arts Ceremony. This event is dedicated to the victory of the Sky Arc and Cloud Knights over the Abominations of Abundance.
In addition, a new location, the House of Shackles, has appeared in the game, which is under the supervision of the Ten Lords Commission. The most dangerous criminals are kept there and Xuei and Hanya serve there. After passing through the Gate of Sea Rest, the Pioneer team gets to the Central Harbor, under which there is a prison. The House of Shackles is also home to wolf-like monsters, the Borisinians, known for their ruthless nature and lunar savagery.
An important innovation was the new Hunting path for the heroine March 7. You can choose it through the character menu, similar to the Pathfinder paths. The new version has an imaginary element and plays the role of an additional “damage dealer”. It not only deals damage to enemies, but also strengthens allies, increasing speed, damage and penetration of durability. You can get March 7 Hunting path during the update event.
There was also another banner. For three weeks, players can try to get a new heroine named Yunli (5★, path of destruction, physical damage type). In the middle of the patch, Jiaoqiu (5★, path of nothingness, fire damage type) will also become available.
