Honkai: Star Rail's newest trailer shows off a teaser of the gameplay for upcoming five-star character Topaz, featuring fun interactions with much of the game's cast. The Version 1.4 update for HoYoverse's massively popular sci-fi RPG has brought plenty of content to the game between new characters and new events. The patch's first half saw the long-awaited addition of Jingliu to the roster alongside the unique "Aetherium Wars" event, tasking players with taking control of the game's enemies in a Pokemon-styled event. Now, Topaz is set to ring in the second half of the update.
While few details have been officially revealed about Topaz's gameplay ahead of her launch, fans already have an idea of Topaz's gameplay within Honkai: Star Rail. Topaz will join the roster as a Fire Hunt character, utilizing her Warp Trotter companion Numby for a DPS playstyle focused on follow-up attacks. Her concentration on follow-up attacks already looks to make Topaz uniquely fitted to synergize with characters like Herta and Kafka, who feature similar playstyles. Now, Star Rail's newest flashy trailer gives players a closer look at Topaz.
Honkai: Star Rail's newest trailer, titled "Expert Tutorial," shows off parts of Topaz's gameplay within a storyline centered around collecting debts from characters. Topaz is shown frequently using Numby for several of her attacks, with Numby gaining a follow-up attack against enemies hit by Topaz's Skill and gaining buffs from Topaz's Ultimate. The trailer features Topaz visiting several popular characters already featured in Honkai: Star Rail, like tracking down Sampo on Jarilo-VI and paying a visit to Asta and Herta at Herta Space Station. Topaz is expected to launch later this week with the second half of Version 1.4.
Topaz's debut in the second half of Version 1.4 won't be the only new character Honkai: Star Rail players can pick up following the shift. The release of Topaz will also see new four-star character Guinaifen added to the game, featuring alongside Topaz on her banner. Guinaifen is set to join the game as a Fire Nihility character, focusing around applying Burn to enemies and likely synergizing well with Topaz. Topaz's limited gacha banner will also feature two other four-star units available at boosted rates in Luka and Sushang.
With Topaz set to release this week, HoYoverse has already begun to give some teasers about what players can expect from Honkai: Star Rail's next update. Version 1.5 will to introduce two new five-star characters to the game with HoYoverse revealing Huohuo and Argenti as the newest limited units. The November update is also adding one new four-star character to the game's roster with the debut of Hanya. Between the launch of Topaz and more characters on the way, Star Rail players look to have multiple ways to spend their hard-earned Stellar Jades.
