During the Version 1.6 special program for Honkai: Star Rail, HoYoVerse revealed some more information on the upcoming banners. As a reminder, the new characters who’ll debut in Version 1.6 are Dr Ratio, Ruan Mei, and Xueyi.
Ruan Mei is a five-star Ice Harmony character who can increase allies’ DMG and Weakness Break Efficiency for three turns after she uses her Skill. With her Ultimate, she can generate a field that increases All-Type RES PEN, as well as extends how much time an enemy’s Weakness Break lasts. This makes her ideal in delaying enemy action.
As for Dr Ratio, he is a five-star Imaginary Hunt character who focuses on single target DMG with his Skill. As for his Ultimate, he deals single target DMG and applies Wiseman’s Folly. If an ally hits an enemy with Wiseman’s Folly, he can launch a follow-up attack. This is quite similar to Topaz’s kit. All players will get this character for free.
Finally, Xueyi will be a four-star Quantum Destruction unit. As a Destruction, her Skill can blast Quantum damage to three enemies. Meanwhile, her Ultimate deals massive Quantum damage to a single target, and can reduce enemy Toughness. This means that you can Break an enemy and trigger a Quantum Weakness Break.
As for the order of the Version 1.6 Honkai: Star Rail banners, Ruan Mei and Xueyi will be in the first half of the update. Blade will also re-run at this point. The latter half of the version will have Dr Ratio and Kafka. The signature Light Cones for all the characters will also be in the banners.
Honkai: Star Rail is readily available on the PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices.
