Summary
Players are bound to get extra free pulls withHonkai: Star Rail2.5, according to new leaks about the upcoming patch. The update, expected to be released in mid-September, will continue the story arc set up by Version 2.4, continuing the Trailblazer’s attendance of the Wardance festival on the Xianzhou Luofu and now dealing with the consequences of Hoolay’s attempted escape from the Shackling Prison. Players will also be met with thenew characters inHonkai: Star Rail2.5, Feixiao, Lingsha, and Moze, all of which already appeared as NPCs during the story quests in Version 2.4.
While players normally get ten free pulls every patch thanks to a special event called Gift of Odyssey, that amount may be increased somewhat significantly in Version 2.5. According to information provided by Step Leak, which was then shared in a post tagged as “Reliable” onReddit, players will have access to an event called Gift of Comet. This rumored event will give players several rewards, such as Fuel, Tears of Dreams, but also Stellar Jade.The leaker predicts that 800 Stellar Jade will be given via Gift of Comet, which amounts to five pulls fromHonkai: Star Railbanners.
I’m Convinced Honkai: Star Rail 2.5 Leaks About This 4-Star Character’s True Identity Means Something Larger
The identity of Moze in Honkai: Star Rail may be revealed in Version 2.5, and I believe it will come with serious yet positive implications.
Players May Get 15 Free Pulls In Honkai: Star Rail 2.5
The Extra Pulls Could Help Players Get Their Desired 5-Star Character
In essence, this means that players will get the equivalent of 15 free pulls during the entire update, as opposed to the regular 10 they normally get with Gift of Odyssey. While five pulls are not too much when players are at low pity,they can be game-changing when pulling for a 5-star character at higher pity rates. Given that Version 2.5 will introduce two new 5-star characters, Feixiao and Lingsha, players will have a better chance at obtaining one of them – or any of the rerun characters inHonkai: Star Rail, should players prefer them.
Anticipated characters are expected to arrive in the near future.
Of course, these pulls can also be directed at the Light Cone banner. If players already got lucky and pulled their desired 5-star character, they can use the rumored extra pulls in Version 2.5 to try and get that character’s signature weapon, which can significantly change how they are played.Often, signature Light Cones tend to be the absolute best for each character they are made for, so this is a great chance for them to try and transform their recently-acquired 5-stars into their best characters in the game.
If players do not intend on pulling in any of the Version 2.5 banners, they can save up the rumored free pulls for future banners. Leaks indicate that Screwllum, Sunday, andTingyun’s new form inHonkai: Star Railwill be arriving as 5-star units to the turn-based RPG in the near future. In addition to the free pulls, the other leaked rewards are also very useful.The 10 copies of Fuel can allow players to farm a lot, while the 140 Tears of Dreams can help them max out characters without having to stop and farm.
The leak should be considered with caution, as it may be incorrect or subject to change – there is also the possibility that the rumored Gift of Comet will replace Gift of Odyssey in the update, even if the leak says the events are separate and will both happen. Nevertheless, the prospect of free pulls simply showsHonkai: Star Rail’s devotion to continue thanking its player community.
