Honkai: Star Rail Special Program 2.5 Release Date Confirmed
Honkai: Star Railhas previously confirmed that Feixiao is the Merlin’s Claw of Xianzhou and one of the Seven Arbiter-Generals, meaning that she’s probably one of the most skillful fighters in theHonkaiuniverse. Feixiao followsHonkai: Star Rail’s Hunt path, which could indicate that she will have strong single-target DPS potential. Her kit allows her to follow up on ally attacks, and it also includes action advance effects. Feixiao is expected to be a great pick for FUA teams inHonkai: Star Rail,and she should have great synergy with Robin, Topaz, Dr. Ratio, and Lingsha
Lingsha is confirmed to be an Abundance character who can fit into multiple different team compositions. Unlike Feixiao, who is expected to be a main DPS, Lingsha is better suited forHonkai: Star Rail’s support roledue to her ability to apply healing and remove debuffs from her teammates. She can also launch follow-up attacks with the help of her rabbit companion, Fuyuan.
These kit leaks should still be taken with a grain of salt, and players will have to wait for the Special Program to get more official information about the twonewHonkai: Star Railcharacters. When it comes to the banner order, Feixiao is expected to arrive in the first part of the update, while Lingsha should be part of the second banner cycle.
