Honkai: Star Rail reveals a roster of reruns that will be available to claim on an event-exclusive banner until the release of update 2.0.
Highlights
Honkai: Star Rail's version 1.6 update brings a rerun banner featuring the five-star Nihility unit Kafka until the next update.
Players can collect Star Rail Passes to participate in time-limited events and earn rewards in the upcoming 1.6 update.
The rerun banner includes other characters like Sushang, Natasha, and Hook, offering players multiple options to set up their party.
Honkai: Star Rail has revealed the rerun banner for the second phase of version 1.6, confirming that the five-star Nihility unit Kafka will be available until the next update. The current banner in Honkai: Star Rail simultaneously promotes both new characters and reruns, offering players as many options as possible to set up their party. It's accompanied by a free five-star unit, Dr. Ratio, who would be a useful addition to DPS teams that have at least one great damage dealer.
Honkai: Star Rail's update 1.6 is on the doorstep, with players waiting for new Light Cones and characters to become available in the next banner phase. They are now collecting Star Rail Passes, which are used for temporary event wishes, by completing a series of tasks. Once the gacha-based RPG is switched to the new version, players will take part in time-limited events to acquire rewards. Also, they will unearth some fresh details about the ongoing Trailblaze story by completing missions.
Before the release of the second part of version 1.6, Honkai: Star Rail has confirmed that Kafka will get her own rerun banner along with Sushang, Natasha, and Hook. She will appear in the "Nessun Dorma" warp that will be available from January 17 to February 5. As is tradition, players will have a boosted chance to get them from the banner until the arrival of version 2.0. It's worth noting that Kafka and other reruns won't be added to the standard warp after this event.
Honkai: Star Rail Version 1.6 Reruns
Kafka
Sushang
Hook
Natasha
Honkai: Star Rail's Kafka is considered a top-tier Nihility character that specializes in the Lightning combat type. She takes the DPS role and works in sync with any unit that can deliver DoT (damage over time). Aside from debuffing enemies, Kafka launches follow-up attacks to deal excessive Lightning damage.
In version 1.6, players can unlock several reruns, including Hook, Natasha, and Sushang, that have the same four-star rarity. Natasha functions as a support with her healing ability, while Sushang delivers a degree of single-target damage. Honkai: Star Rail's Destruction unit Sushang, on the flip side, fits into the DPS role and applies debuffs to enemies.
Honkai: Star Rail requires players to use their Special Star Rail Passes to pull characters and Light Cones from event-exclusive warps, like the one Kafka will get soon. In addition to completing specific missions and tackling the Simulated Universe, Trailblazers can earn special passes by simply purchasing them with Stellar Jades.
The fourth entry in HoYoverse's Honkai franchise, Honkai: Star Rail is a free-to-play sci-fi RPG. Utilizing a turn-based combat system, the game includes dungeons, multiple planets, and a gacha system for unlocking new characters. Debuting on April 26, 2023, on PC and mobile, Honkai: Star Rail has also been announced for the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4.
