AHonkai: Star Railleak has revealed the model of a mysterious character, Screwllum, who hasn’t been officially revealed yet.Honkai: Star Rail’s next version is rumored to feature two new characters, one of which will likely have a five-star rarity. It was scheduled to be released in March; however, update 2.1 has been delayed to early April. According to HoYoverse, the beta phase for 2.1 will start on February 20.
Honkai: Star Rail’s Screwllumis described as a mechanical aristocrat who follows the Path of Erudition and excels at the Imaginary combat type. Currently, players know little about the upcoming five-star unit except for the fact that his kit features a lot of AoE damage. Based on leaks, it has been known that Screwllum reduces the enemy’s Imaginary resistance and regenerates energy upon entering battle. The developers could change some parts of the new character’s kit until the end of the beta phase.
The latestHonkai: Star Railleak from Blednayahas revealed the model of Screwllum, showing that the character dons white pants and a black bowler hat. He uses a leg belt like Gallagher, wearing a brown jacket decorated with golden strips. Besides, Screwllum has a lean body that makes the robotic character look more elegant.
Honkai: Star Rail Gears Up To Introduce New Characters
The release date for Screwllum has yet to be revealed, but some dataminers claim he will possibly arrive in version 2.2. Besides Screwllum, the upcoming update will reportedly bringHonkai: Star Rail’s Robinand Firefly to the playable cast. As is the case with previous leaks, fans should take it with extreme caution for now.
Before releasing version 2.2,Honkai: Star Railwill possibly celebrate its first anniversary with a special event in 2.1 later in April. Since the second phase of 2.1 will go live around that time, players can expect it to feature much more content than previous updates. As revealed through leaks,Honkai: Star Railwill introduce a Penacony-based unit, Sam, to its player base in the upcoming version. However, there is a likelihood that he will make his debut earlier than expected.
It’s safe to assume thatHonkai: Star Rail’s anniversary event will feature bountiful rewards, from Stellar Jades and Light Cones to ascension materials. Maybe the gacha-based RPG will offer players a free character, which wouldn’t be surprising after the Dr. Ratio giveaway. Aside from the anniversary event,Honkai: Star Railversion 2.1 will allegedly add Aventurine, a five-star unit that specializes in the Ice combat type. Many leaks about his kit have recently surfaced online, with one indicating that the character’s ultimate reduces the enemy’s Crit damage.
