Brand New Story & Maps

Alongside the release of a brand new Update patch for the game, a brand new main story quest will also be released, continuing the thrilling tale of the Phantasmoon game in the planet of Planarcadia.

This time, players will be able to uncover the secrets of the brand new character Evanescia and meet up with the brand new form of Silver Wolf to save the day and advance further into this twisted game of Elation.

Brand New Characters

Of course, the main attraction to the Honkai Star Rail version 4.2 are the leaks regarding the upcoming playable characters and we now have information on 2 brand new characters: the 5-star Imaginary Elation Character Silver Wolf Lv.999 and the 5-star Physical Elation Character Evanescia. In addition, a brand new form of the Trailblazer will be released – the Elation Trailblazer.

Silver Wolf Lv.999 is an upcoming 5-star character of the Imaginary Element and Elation Path. She specializes in dealing massive amounts of Imaginary Basic Attack and Elation damage to all enemies once her Ultimate is unleashed, making her a very powerful Elation Main DPS character for the future contents in the game.

From initial looking, Silver Wolf Lv.999 Skill kit is relatively simple to work with despite having a lot of things inside of it. Silver Wolf Lv.999 skill kit entirely revolves around gaining as much Punchline stacks as possible before the Aha Instant triggers to allow Silver Wolf Lv.999 to quickly accumulate her Hidden Ranking points.

Silver Wolf Lv.999’s entire gameplan revolves around players generating as many Punchline points as possible before triggering Aha Instance to allow Silver Wolf Lv.999 to convert Punchlines into Hidden Ranking Points and fuel her Ultimate. Once she gains enough Hidden Ranking Points, Silver Wolf Lv.999 can unleash her Ultimate and massively enhances her damage output and allow her to use her Enhanced Basic Attack.

Evanescia is an upcoming 5-star character of the Physical Element and Elation Path. She specializes in taking advantage of the Elation Path’s Certified Banger effect to gain large amount of Ultimate energy to spam Ultimate and deal powerful Physical Elation damage to enemies, making her a very strong Elation Main DPS character.

Evanescia skill kit allows her to serves as a Elation team main DPS character that specializes in taking advantage of the Elation Path’s Certified Banger effect gained from triggering Aha Instances. She specializes in gaining Certified Banger and use them as Ultimate energy and uses her Ultimate Energy as Certified Banger stacks.

Evanescia’s main gimmick is somewhat similar to Saber from the Fate collaboration event, where she can use her Ultimate after accumulating a set amount of Certified banger stacks instead of needing to fully fill her Ultimate Energy, allowing her to constantly spam her Ultimate to deal damage to enemies. The more Aha Instance is triggered when she is in the same team as other Elation characters, the more Certified Banger she can gain through other characters gaining Certified Bangers. 

Elation Trailblazer is an upcoming 5-star version of the Trailblazer of the Lightning Element and Elation Path. They specialize in supporting different Elation teams by providing the team with Certified Banger stacks and Punchline Points in addition to being able to immediately trigger other Elation characters’ Elation Skill by using their special effects, allowing them to enable various different Elation teams.

Elation Trailblazer skill kit allows them to generate constant Certified banger stacks and Punchline Points for different Elation Teams while also buffing an ally and allow an ally to trigger their Elation Skill without any cost, making them a very strong universal support character for different Elation Teams.

Elation Trailblazer’s main gameplan is to use their basic attacks and skills constantly to fuel the team with Certified Banger stacks while regenerating their energy for them to use their Ultimate. Upon using their Ultimate, Elation Trailblazer can buff an ally with powerful critical buffs and grants the team additional Punchline Points and immediately allow the character to trigger their Elation Skill, helping to quicken the other Elation characters’ gameplan.
