Honkai Star Rail Version 1.4 livestream details Jingliu banner, new areas
destructoid.comHoYoverse revealed its trailer for Version 1.4 of Honkai: Star Rail, titled “Jolted Awake from a Winter Dream.” Here’s a summary of all the new features coming to Trailblazers on October 11!
Three new characters are debuting in the next Version: Jingliu, Guinaifen, and Topaz. Seele also returns with her first rerun banner.
Jingliu will be in the first half, while Topaz and Seele will be in the second. They will be accompanied by their respective Light Cones: I Shall Be My Own Sword (Jingliu); Worrisome, Blissful (Topaz); and In the Night (Seele).

Guinaifen is a 4-star Fire Nihility character. She’s a street performer with a distinct traditional Chinese flair. Her attack animations feature adorable little Chinese lions that run in and detonate firecrackers. As a Nihility character, her kit will likely center around debuffing enemies.
