  • Version 2.3 of Honkai: Star Rail will feature Firefly and Jade as 5-star banner characters, with leaks indicating reruns of Ruan Mei and Argenti.
  • Fans are excited about Ruan Mei's potential in the upcoming "Break Effect meta" due to her abilities to enhance DPS units.

A Honkai: Star Rail leak revealed the rumored 5-star character reruns for Version 2.3. This Honkai: Star Rail update features Firefly and Jade as the 5-star banner characters, both of whom were introduced in the main story quest in Penacony.

Honkai: Star Rail's Penacony arc introduced a cast of interesting characters, such as the upcoming playable characters Firefly and Jade. Firefly, also known as the Stellaron Hunter Sam, will be a Fire-type Destruction character, while Jade, who is an IPC senior manager, will be a Quantum-type Erudition unit. Like with previous Honkai: Star Rail updates, the Warp banner is expected to have 5-star rerun characters who will complement Firefly and Jade's play style, and leakers have discovered who they might be.

Reddit user ButterflySeeleR shared a leak that indicated that Ruan Mei and Argenti might come back for Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.3's Warp banner. Ruan Mei is expected to run during the first phase with Firefly, as she's a support character that can enhance DPS units' Break Effect. Argenti, on the other hand, might be paired with Jade as their Erudition abilities may mesh well together. Developer HoYoverse hasn't confirmed any of these, so take this information with a grain of salt for now.

Rumored Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.3 Character Reruns

  • First phase: Firefly (Fire, Destruction) and Ruan Mei (Ice, Harmony)
  • Second phase: Jade (Quantum, Erudition) and Argenti (Physical, Erudition)

In the comments, many Honkai: Star Rail fans expressed that they're more keen about pulling for Ruan Mei over anyone in anticipation of the "Break Effect meta." Honkai: Star Rail recently introduced a Super Break damage type for the Harmony Trailblazer, which is perfect for enemies with enhanced toughness and shields that were also introduced in the most recent update, Version 2.2. This trend will most likely spill over to Forgotten Hall and Pure Fiction dungeons, as well as other future game modes that might be introduced.

Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.3 leaks have been rampant lately, which revealed gameplay animations for Firefly and Jade, new items, and limited-time events. There's still a possibility that HoYoverse might make changes at the last minute, so fans' best bet is to wait for the Version 2.3 Special Program stream next month.

Version 2.3 might also set up the Astral Express Crew's next adventure following their successful mission in Penacony. Some Honkai: Star Rail leaks teased possible new planets that the crew could journey to, but it might take a while for HoYoverse to finish developing the map.
