A recent leak from Honkai: Star Rail has revealed that players will acquire a free copy of the four-star Quantum character Lynx in version 1.6. Over the past few days, some leaks and speculations have unveiled more details about the version 1.6 update, with one indicating Blade and Kafka will get their rerun banner for the first time since the game's launch. Not long ago, it was confirmed in a drip marketing campaign that Xueyi, Dr. Ratio, and Ruan Mei would become available alongside new events and enemies.
Honkai: Star Rail constantly issues new updates packed with free banner characters, relics, and Light Cones. Before the release of each version, players search for accurate leaks that give them a glimpse into the upcoming content. Many of these leaks generate a lot of buzz around the game without spoiling things about the story. One thing to note is that they could give a false impression of future content and provoke a backlash against the developers.
The latest Honkai: Star Rail leak from Hexenzirkel suggested that version 1.6 will give players a free copy of Lynx. Those who want to expand their team with an Abundance unit must complete the second stage for any phase of Pure Fiction, a new permanent game mode that will be released next month. Honkai: Star Rail's Pure Fiction is a type of combat dungeon where players can earn points by defeating enemies. Each phase of this mode provides a different buff that helps Trailblazers take the upper hand in combat. Moreover, it gives up to 720 Stellar Jades that can be used to get new weapons and characters.
Despite not being a top-tier unit, Honkai: Star Rail's Lynx is a viable option for those who want to upgrade their team with a healer. In addition to dispelling debuffs, she can restore all teammates' HP and deal a certain amount of damage to a single target. She unleashes her full potential in hyper-carry teams, which usually include some DPS units like Blade and Seele.
Honkai: Star Rail version 1.5 is in full swing, featuring the release of a brand-new healer unit named Huohuo. The latest iteration of the game offers players a variety of content to sink their time into, including warp banners, relic sets, story missions, and explorable sections. There are also new Light Cones available in the current weapon banner, such as Night of Fright, An Instant Before a Gaze, and Incessant Rain. The good news is that more playable content will be added to Honkai: Star Rail in version 1.6, which will reportedly go live on December 20.
