Jingliu, a highly anticipated character in Honkai: Star Rail, will be released with version 1.4, and players can acquire Eidolons for her that provide significant damage boosts.
Similar to the constellation system in Genshin Impact, pulling multiple copies of a character in Honkai: Star Rail allows players to benefit from Eidolons that enhance their abilities and provide additional damage and utility.
The leaked Eidolons of Jingliu in version 1.4 grant her increased critical hit rate, improved ultimate and skill levels, as well as unique interactions with her talent, making her a powerful addition to players' teams.
A new leak from Honkai: Star Rail has revealed the Eidolons that players can obtain for the highly anticipated Jingliu, who is set to be released in version 1.4. Jingliu has been one of the most popular unreleased characters in Honkai: Star Rail and plays an important role in the lore of the Chinese-themed Xianzhou Luofu world. HoYoverse would officially announce Jingliu's upcoming release in the days following the special program of version 1.3, along with the new five-star character, Topaz. Now, leaks are showcasing the benefits of pulling multiple copies of the character.
Similar to the constellation system in Genshin Impact, Eidolons in Honkai: Star Rail provide bonuses when players pull more than one copy of a character. Eidolons often work to enhance specific aspects of the characters' abilities, typically offering increased damage and utility to their skills. Some Eidolons even provide unique advantages, such as Kafka's second Eidolon, which grants additional damage to all damage-over-time effects caused by their allies. Now, the leaked Eidolons of Jingliu appear to provide the ice-destroying character with significant damage boosts for players who manage to obtain additional copies of her.
A recent leak shared by Honkai: Star Rail leaker Dimbreath has revealed the six available Eidolon upgrades for Jingliu after her release in version 1.4. Jingliu's first Eidolon grants her an increased critical hit rate after using her ultimate or enhanced abilities, as well as a special buff when attacking individual enemies. Jingliu's other Eidolons provide various generic buffs, with her E2 increasing the damage of her ultimate by 30% and her E3 and E5 respectively increasing her ultimate and skill levels. Additionally, Jingliu's abilities E4 and E6 have unique interactions with her talent, increasing the enhancements by consuming her allies' LP and amplifying her critical hit rate.
The post also provides further details about Jingliu's talent and explains how her state of Spectral Transmigration works in combat. After obtaining two stacks of her unique Syzygy buff, Jingliu enters the Ascended state, granting her an additional turn and her enhanced ability. During Spectral Transmigration, Jingliu siphons off up to 6% of her allies' LP to amplify her own attacks based on the amount of LP drained. It is rumored that Jingliu will be introduced as the first featured five-star banner character in version 1.4, expected to be released in mid-October.
Jingliu's debut in the Version 1.4 update will not be the only new character added to Honkai: Star Rail. Both another five-star character and a new four-star unit will also be introduced. Jingliu will share the spotlight in Version 1.4 with Topaz, a new fire character in the damage-focused Hunting Path. The update will also introduce the latest four-star character of Honkai: Star Rail, Guinaifen, a street artist from Xianzhou Luofu. Both Jingliu and Topaz will provide powerful damage-oriented options for players' teams after their release later this year.
Honkai: Star Rail is now available for PC and mobile devices, and a PS5 version will be released in the fourth quarter of 2023.
