Honkai: Star Rail has launched a new drip marketing campaign, revealing the complete model, rarity, path, and element for version 1.6 characters: Dr. Ratio, Xueyi, and Ruan Mei. Honkai: Star Rail is set to release version 1.5, which will bring with it a ton of content from five-star banners and events to enemies. There's still no confirmation on the upcoming units, but some previous leaks revealed that Silver Wolf will get her long-awaited rerun. Players will have to wait until November 3, when Hoyoverse will host a special program for version 1.5, to see if there is something to look forward to.

Honkai: Star Rail confirmed a few days ago that the second half of version 1.4 features the debut of fire characters Topaz and Guinaifen. Both units will be available to claim until November 15, when version 1.5 will go live according to the banner schedule. As per some previous leaks, the upcoming version has plenty in store for Honkai: Star Rail players, including limited-time festivities, three new enemies, and a battle pass extension. It was leaked that players will have an increased chance to pull some characters like Argenti, Huohuo, and Hanya.

Based on social media drip marketing, Honkai: Star Rail's Ruan Mei and Dr. Ratio will have a five-star rarity and hail from the Harmony and the Hunt path, respectively. The four-star unit Xueyi, on the flip side, belongs to the Destruction path, which hints at her being a consistent damage dealer. Ruan Mei and Dr. Ratio will specialize in Ice and Imaginary elements, while Xueyi's kit will be based on Quantum damage. Their promotional art also gives players an insight into their model, which has their own design and color scheme.

Ruan Mei combines a short dress and high heels, while Xueyi puts on claw gloves, a beaded necklace, and an iron belt. Dr. Ratio has also a unique outfit, wearing long purple pants, sandals, and a sleeveless undershirt. Fellow Honkai: Star Rail players on the official forum were impressed by the characters' in-game models, with one in particular claiming that Dr. Ratio looks like the combination of Genshin Impact's Althaitham and Kaveh.

It's important to note that Ruan Mei, Xueyi, and Dr. Ratio will be introduced via the version 1.6 banners later this year. They will probably be obtainable from limited-time events and added to the permanent Standard Warp in early 2024. Honkai: Star Rail players can expect version 1.6 to be released around Christmas.
