Honkai: Star Rail Reveals Phase 2 Light Cones for Version 2.1

Honkai: Star Rail reveals several new Light Cones for the second part of version 2.1, which will be released later this month.

Along with the banner characters for Version 2.2, a Honkai: Star Rail leak from Somnus revealed that Topaz, Fu Xuan, or Argenti will be the rerun characters for this update. HoYoverse hasn't confirmed the news yet as it usually makes important announcements during Honkai: Star Rail's Special Program Stream, so fans should take this information with a grain of salt.

Rumored Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.2 Banner Lineup

  • Phase 1: Robin and Topaz
  • Phase 2: Boothill and Fu Xuan or Argenti

Many Honkai: Star Rail fans expressed their excitement over the leak, especially since the rumored rerun characters seem to have great synergy with Robin and Boothill. As for the second phase, many believe that it will be Fu Xuan since she's an older character from Version 1.3, who has yet to receive a rerun. Plus, considering that Boothill is a Physical-type DPS character, some think it makes sense for the rerun character to focus on defense.

Topaz was previously leaked as a Honkai: Star Rail rerun alongside Aventurine, who is the upcoming 5-star banner character in the second phase of Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.1. It made sense at the time, since the characters are colleagues in the Interastral Peace Corporation (IPC), but the rerun character for this phase turned out to be Jingliu. Despite some fans' initial disappointment at the character change, Aventurine and Jingliu do complement each other, since the latter reduces her allies' health whenever she attacks, so the former can protect them with his shield-stacking skill.

There are still a few weeks left before Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.2 officially releases, but many fans are already excited after seeing rumors about the update. Rumors point to Honkai: Star Rail adding quality-of-life features, exciting events, and more in the new update.
