Honkai: Star Rail has revealed every detail about Guinaifen, giving players an insight into her kit and animations.

She specializes in dealing fire damage, with the character's Eidolon Levels boosting her offensive capabilities. As for Guinaifen's ultimate, she hits a golden drum, calls three little pets that carry dynamite in their mouth, and creates an explosion to deal AoE damage.
Guinaifen's elemental skill is called Blazing Welcome, dealing fire damage to all enemies. Her technique does the same for a set amount of time with a chance of inflicting Firekiss on them.

These valuable materials can be obtained by completing Stagnant Shadow: Shape of Scorch and Simulated Universe.
Alongside Guinaifen, the second half of version 1.4 will add five-star fire character Topaz to the current banner. She hails from the Hunt path, deals more damage than many other units, and calls a little monster to help her in combat. Topaz seems to be a top-tier unit with DPS potential, with her trusty pet increasing her offensive capabilities. The second part of Honkai: Star Rail version 1.4 is set to release on November 2.
