One of the fan-favourite characters has finally been revealed as the next playable character in Honkai Star Rail as part of the drip marketing!
Honkai Star Rail version 2.3 drip marketing from Hoyoverse is finally here, as the official X handle (formerly Twitter) has revealed the next five-star character to be "Extraterrestrial Satellite Communication" Firefly.
Yes! She is back from dead, and now she will be destroying everyone's Stellar Jade and wallets when her Character Event Warp banner goes live with the version 2.3 update.
For players who don't know, Firefly is a Stellaron Hunter whose combat type is Fire. She belongs to the Destruction Path, making her a great DPS unit for your team.
Players have been waiting for her arrival as a playable character, especially after the events on Penacony. Meanwhile, some were wondering whether she would join the roster or be completely skipped.
However, thanks to Hoyoverse's drip marketing, we finally have confirmation on Firefly's official release.
