Developer HoYoverse rolled out a new Myriad Celestia trailer for turn-based RPG Honkai: Star Rail. Titled ‘Mind the Swelter, Watch the Furnace’, it is dedicated to Yunli and the cursed swords of the Xianzhou Zhuming.
“It is said that wherever Molten Remains exist, there are occasional strong sparks of flame mixed with quiet echoes of wailing desolation.
“No one will respond to you even if you scream yourself hoarse, cursed sword.”
Yunli is a straightforward sword hunter and the beloved granddaughter of “Flaming Heart” General Huaiyan. She has practiced swordsmanship and forging under Huaiyan’s profound guidance since childhood, making her the second-youngest prodigy swordmaster of the Flamewheel Octet.
As a Physical-Type character following the Path of Destruction, Yunli sets herself apart in combat with her unique Counter ability. When attacked, she immediately Counters, dealing damage to the target and adjacent enemies. More, after using her Ultimate, Yunli acquires the Parry state, reducing damage taken and Taunting all enemies. Most importantly, under this state, Yunli’s CRIT DMG will be drastically increased, and her ordinary Counter is upgraded to a Powerful Counter, dealing higher damage.
She arrives in Version 2.4: Finest Duel Under the Pristine Blue. When it comes to banners, there is a lot to look forward to both in Version 2.4, and beyond! Here’s the entire upcoming lineup, so you can budget your Stellar Jades accordingly!
