A new leak forHonkai: Star Rail2.7 is hinting ata promising set of rewards, including a free 5-star character and an abundant amount of Stellar Jade, which could help players obtain more premium characters and Light Cones. Version 2.7 is the next major patch for HoYoverse’s turn-based RPG, and it should not take too long to arrive. With Version 2.6 already in its second half, the game is gearing up for theHonkai: Star Rail2.7 livestreamon November 11, which will present all the new content for the upcoming patch – confirmed to add two new characters.
Both Fugue and Sunday have already been confirmed by HoYoverse as the playable units added with Version 2.7, though the developer has not yet detailed what they will do. Nevertheless, several leaks have already outlined the characters’ gameplay kits and, if they are true, both units will be supports for team comps. Even thoughthe majority of the content in Version 2.7 has already leaked over the past few weeks, including new areas on theAstral Express inHonkai: Star Rail, some leaks are still occurring, and it seems players may be surprised by some great rewards in the patch.
Honkai: Star Rail 2.7 May Offer A Free 5-Star Character & Extra Stellar Jade
The Rewards May Be Part Of A Leaked Event Called Gift Of The Express
As was previously mentioned, players may get access to a free 5-star character in Version 2.7. According to information provided by StepLeaks,an event called Gift of the Express will become available starting in the patch. This will serve as a free 5-star character selector. The leak, which was shared in a post tagged as “Reliable” onReddit, highlights that this rumored character selector will enable players to pick a free copy of Clara, Yanqing, Himeko, Bronya, Gepard, Welt, or Bailu – these are the 5-star characters from the standard loot pool inHonkai: Star Rail’s gacha system.
Honkai Star Rail Leaks: New Type Of Equipment May Forever Change Character Builds
New rumors indicate that Honkai: Star Rail will get a new type of equipment in a future update, which could impact the way players work on builds.
The leak does not state with which frequency Gift of the Express will appear in the game, but the wording seems to suggest it will be a recurring event.The leak also highlights that players will be able to claim 1,600 Stellar Jade during Version 2.7. For reference, this translates to exactly 10 pulls from the banners, as each pull costs 160 Stellar Jade. It is uncertain if this free amount of Stellar Jade is directly linked to the character selector itself or if it is an extra reward that will be distributed during the sameHonkai: Star Railpatch.
Leaked Free Character & Stellar Jade May Stack With Honkai: Star Rail’s Gift Of Odyssey
Players May Get Up To 20 Free Pulls From Banners If The Leak Is True
The rumors of the rewards for players are somewhat surprising considering how generous the game is already compared to some of HoYoverse’s other titles.The game already offers players a free 5-star character from the aforementioned ones once they reach 300 pulls from the standard banner for the first time. Veteran players who have been playing since the title’s release may have already obtained their pick and, with the rumored Gift of the Express, they may get a free new 5-star pull. Additionally, these rewards may stack withHonkai: Star Rail’s regular Gift of Odyssey event.
Honkai: Star Rail Leaks Show One Path Is Taking A Devastating Blow In Version 3.0 & Forward
One of Honkai: Star Rail’s most important Paths may become temporarily obsolete with the arrival of Version 3.0 and its subsequent patches.
Gift of Odyssey is a recurring event that appears in nearly every patch, offering players up to 10 free Star Rail Special Passes if they log in for seven days.If Gift of Odyssey returns in Version 2.7, players may be looking at a total of 20 free pulls from bannerswhen combining the 10 Star Rail Special Passes from the event plus the 1,600 free Stellar Jade rumored for the patch. 20 free pulls from the banners is quite a generous gift, and it could be precisely what players need to obtain their desired 5-star character or Light Cone.
Of course,the rumored Gift of the Express may be a substitute for the regular Gift of Odysseyand, with it, players would get the leaked 5-star character selector and the 1,600Stellar Jade inHonkai: Star Rail2.7. If this is the case, then players would only be looking at the standard 10 free pulls and the 5-star unit from the standard loot pool. Regardless of whether the rumored Gift of the Express stacks with the Gift of Odyssey event, players should at least get a free 5-starcharacter inHonkai: Star Rail2.7 if the leak is true.
Leaked Rewards May Indicate Fewer Events In Honkai: Star Rail 2.7
Something Similar Has Already Occurred In A Past Update
There may be a downside to the generosity of the rumored Gift of the Express, however. The increased rewards, especially when it comes to the Stellar Jade, may be an indication of less content for players to go through during Version 2.7.The free Stellar Jade may be a way of compensating for the lack of more events taking place during the patch, from where players would normally obtain this currency. Something similar has already happened in the past with the Gift of Comet inHonkai: Star Rail2.5, which had, notably, less playable content than usual.
Honkai Star Rail 3.2 Leaks: Castorice’s Design Seems Too Similar To An Existing Character
The design for Castorice in Honkai: Star Rail 3.2 has allegedly leaked, but it already has a major problem when it comes to the character’s outfit.
While Version 2.5 did have the massive Luminary Wardance Festival event, which had players occupied for weeks, there were much fewer events in the patch than in other updates.The Gift of Comet offered players 1,000 Stellar Jade and 100 Tears of Dreams, which somewhat made up for the lack of more events, even if never explicitly stated by the developer. The new rumored Gift of the Express may be similar to Gift of Comet in that sense.
In fact, there have been very few events leaked for Version 2.7 other than thecustomization mode inHonkai: Star Rail.
Giving more credit to the speculation that the leaked Gift of the Express may stack with the recurring Gift of Odyssey, it is worth mentioning thatthe Gift of Comet stacked with the Gift of Odyssey back in Version 2.5, so there is a chance that Gift of Odyssey will not be replaced by the leaked event, but players will see a large number of free and easy rewards to claim in Version 2.7.
Honkai Star Rail 2.7 Story Spoiler Leaks Indicate We May See Herta’s True Form Soon
Herta may make an appearance during a mission in Honkai: Star Rail 2.7, and players may see her true form before her rumored release in Version 3.0.
Of course, for now, these leaks should be taken with a grain of salt. The rumors may be incorrect, incomplete, or subject to change.The definitive answers should come with the Version 2.7 livestream, where HoYoverse should make an announcement about the Gift of the Express – if it does not, then the leak may have been a hoax. Nevertheless, considering how generous the rewards forHonkai: Star Railplayers usually are, it would not come as a complete surprise if the leak proves to be true.
