After the 2.6 Special Program of Honkai Star Rail, I’m Convinced HoYoverse Has a Favorite Element

Who’s the fairest of them all?

Honkai Star Rail has many surprises in each Special Program, and Version 2.6 is no exception, but there is an obvious pattern in their latest banners. HoYoverse has evident favoritism with the Imaginary Element, and everybody can see it thanks to the last debuted characters. Also, this element is not close to being finished, as more imaginary characters will come soon. I hope you are not fed up with this combat style because you’ll see it for a long time.

All Honkai Star Rail 2.6 Announced Banners

A Brief on the Version 2.6 Special Program

Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.6 "Annals of Pinecany's Mappou Age" will go online on October 23. Come and check out the latest information about the limited-time character Rappa, as well as new storylines and missions!

During the Honkai Star Rail 2.6 Special Program, it was announced that the new 5-star character, Rappa, will be on the upcoming banners. This ninja-rapper and street artist follows the Path of Erudition, and surprisingly, she belongs to the Imaginary Element. Alongside her will come her 5-star Light Cone, Ninjutsu Inscription: Dazzling Evilbreaker. As if she wasn’t enough, with Rappa in phase 1, Imbibitor Lunae will have his re-run, and yes, after Dan Heng was yassified, he became an Imaginary and Destruction character. Also, remember that March 7th, even though she didn’t become a 5-star, she had this same treatment when she changed to the Imaginary Hunt’s side.

Besides, in Special Program 2.6, HoYoverse shared that for the phase 2 banners, the biggest gambler of all Honkai Star Rail, Aventurine, will return. This IPC member is another Imaginary Element character, and although he is a follower of Path Preservation and Qliphoth, this makes him one of the best Tanks of the moment. On the other hand, to make something different, in this same phase, a Nihility and Lightning character will also get a re-run; we are talking about Acheron, of course. So, if you have any character from the previous banners like Jiaoqiu, Kafka, or Black Swan, maybe it’s time to get this Raiden Expy.

You may think it’s not too Imaginary Element just with these few characters, but Honkai Star Rail also already revealed the drip marketing of the angel that will make many people sin, Sunday. If you thought he also has the Imaginary Element, congratulations, no one else saw it coming, much less that his Path is still Harmony. The most noticeable is that many point out that even some characters in this Element have a suspiciously similar position. I don’t complain about their Path or fighting style as long as I can get more husbandos and waifus!
