Honkai Star Rail version 2.1 is set to introduce two new characters to the game. The first one is Acheron, who is quite possibly one of the most anticipated units in this game. She is Honkai Star Rail’s version of Raiden Mei and Raiden Shogun. Therefore, the hype surrounding this unit is massive.

Additionally, players will also get access to Aventurine, a Preservation unit who is rumored to be quite strong. Leaks suggest Fu Xuan and Topaz will get reruns as well, which means the banners will be stacked during update 2.1.

However, version 2.1 is also the anniversary patch, which means you will probably receive a lot of free wishes. Hence, it is possible that you will be able to obtain multiple characters provided you get a little lucky.
