Honkai: Star Rail’s massive v2.1 upgrade will drop on March 27 and commemorate the release’s first anniversary with 20 free Star Rail Passes and 1,600 Stellar Jade, dividing HoYoverse fans. The story of Penacony will continue, a VA-11 HALL-A-inspired drink mixing minigame will be included, and the iconic Acheron will be playable.
Acheron uses her skill and debuffs to charge Slashed Dream, unlike other 5-star characters. Slashed Dream, not energy like her teammates, triggers her Ultimate, which hits four foes, hurting everyone. Her technique can instantly kill open-world opponents, improving exploration.
In Phase 2, Aventurine, the IPC Strategic Investment Department’s high-risk/high-reward gambler, will join her in v2.1. Aventurine’s skill gives friends a stacking shield in combat. When assaulted, allies with this shield will earn blind bet charges for Aventurine. Aventurine will attack if Blind Bet hits a particular count, according to the description.
The next update will also include Gallagher, a 4-star Bloodhound Family security officer. This Harmony-based healer debuffs enemies with his love of fizzy drinks and restores HP with each hit after his Ultimate. Reruns of Luocha and Jingliu will join these newcomers, so if you missed them, you’ll need those free pulls.
Two new Penacony zones, Clock Studios Theme Park and Dewlight Pavilion, inspired by Disneyland, will host most of the new story content. New events like the beverage mixing minigame and the board game-inspired Cosmodyssey should keep you all updated.
