What’s the next Honkai Star Rail banner?

Hoyoverse has now confirmed the Honkai Star Rail 2.2 banners, they’re set to feature the following characters:

Just Inotation – phase one

Sunset Clause – phase one

Dusty Trail’s Lone Star – phase two

Forseen, Foreknown, Foretold – phase two

Robin is a physical damage dealer who treads the path of Harmony, suggesting that her kit will predominantly focus on buffing her allies. You may remember her from the Trailblaze Mission, The Sound and the Fury, in which we learn that she’s both Sunday’s sister and one of the most renowned singers across the universe.

On the other hand, we have Boothill, another physical damage dealer. However, unlike Robin, he treads the path of the Hunt, meaning his kit should place far more focus on dishing out heaps of damage. We don’t know too much about him yet, other than the fact that he’s an optimistic and unrestrained cyborg cowboy (okay, we’re already sold), and that he’s a member of the Galaxy Rangers – a group that punishes ‘the wretched’ by any means necessary.

Both Robin and Boothill sound like a blast, and we can’t wait to meet them. In the meantime, keep an eye on our Honkai Star Rail update guide to learn all about the latest announcements, streams, and more.
