Players may see themselves forced to choose between Fugue and Firefly in 2.7 as the two 5-star characters are appearing in banners and there is always a limited number of free Primogems that can be obtained only from playing. Version 2.7 is the final patch in HoYoverse’s turn-based RPG before the introduction of Version 3.0 and Amphoreus, the next destination on the Astral Express’ expeditions.
The arrival of Version 3.0 will significantly change things, as Amphoreus in 3.0 should also bring forth new mechanics, including Remembrance, the game’s first new playable Path since launch.
Fugue is a new 5-star Fire Nihility character introduced in Version 2.7. She operates as a support for Break DMG team comps and automatically enables Super Break DMG by being on the field.
Firefly, on the other hand, was released in Version 2.3. The 5-star Fire character follows the Path of the Destruction and is a Break DMG DPS. This may be the last chance in a while for players to pull for Fugue or Firefly as HoYoverse will start focusing a lot on the Amphoreus characters in , though they may appear again in future reruns.
Following the Sunday and Jing Yuan runs in Version 2.7’s Phase 1 banners, Fugue and Firefly will be in the spotlight during the Phase 2 banners for the patch. The characters will be available for pulls in the gacha system from December 25 through January 14, 2025, when the Version 3.0 update should be added – this has yet to be confirmed by HoYoverse, but patches in the game usually last six weeks, so it is likely that 3.0 will arrive on that date.
