5-star characters in the second banner phase of Honkai Star Rail 2.1

1 ) Aventurine

Type- Imaginary element
Path- Preservation

The second phase of Honkai Star Rail 2.1 banners will go live with the debut of Aventurine, a brand-new 5-star unit. He is a Path of Preservation unit who is an expert at reducing the majority of enemy damage by shielding his allies to keep them alive on the battlefield. Aventurine is a member of the IPC and was a key contributor to the Trailblaze Mission 2.0.

2) Jingliu

Type- Ice element
Path- Destruction

Jingliu travels the Destruction Path and is one of the strongest 5-star DPS characters in Honkai Star Rail. She made her debut when this turn-based gacha game's version 1.4 was released. Jingliu will get her first re-run banner in this version of Honkai Star Rail .2.1.

The following 4-star characters will be available for summoning in the upcoming character banners:

Lynx
Luka
Serval

1) Lynx

Type- Quantum element
Path- Abundance

Lynx's primary role is to provide support, by healing her teammates. She debuted with the 5-star character Fu Xuan in the second half of version 1.3. Lynx is an adventurous snow explorer from Belobog who also seems to possess a calm demeanor and a strong sense of initiative.

Lynx will undoubtedly be a vital member of any team as she can remove any negative effects from her allies.

2 ) Luka

Type- Physical element
Path- Nihility

Luka is one of the flexible characters in Honkai Star Rail who can be utilized as a DPS or a Sub-DPS in team composition. Since his Ultimate and Skill mainly target a single enemy, players must choose a target to take advantage of the extended effects of his ability.

Since Luka's ultimate (Fighting Will) puts his basic attack into overdrive, keeping it up is essential to maximizing his damage output in a DPS build. He can instantly apply Weakness Break and easily take down adversaries when combined with his steady use of Physical DoT.

3) Serval

Type- Lightning
Path- Erudition

Serval is one of the most remarkable characters in the title. With the ideal Serval build in Honkai Star Rail, she could be an invaluable asset to any squad in addition to her potent electric guitar attacks. Her attacks are made to deal with a lot of Lightning damage, which can shock adversaries and cause DoT effect.

Since her Lightning damage is connected with her attack, it is recommended to prioritize equipment that will boost her base attack and energy regeneration.
