Hoyoverse has announced that version 4.6 of Honkai: Star Rail will release on September 28. The version is titled “Dance With the Beast Before Moonrise.”
In this update, Pearl, a 5-star Ice character following the Path of Elation, will be playable. She is the CEO of Planarcadia, known for her raw computational power and rational decision-making. During combat, Pearl can consume her “Certified Banger” to offset a portion of DMG for all ally characters. She can also enter the “Deep Learning” state to learn the combat data of a designated teammate and gain a corresponding Enhanced ATK. Further, if her teammate is an Elation character, Pearl’s Enhanced ATK will deal additional Elation DMG to enemies. If the whole team consists of Elation characters, said teammate will also gain an extra turn and a massive amount of Punchline and “Certified Banger.”
Throughout Version 4.6, the drop rates for the Pearl and the limited 5-star Light Cone “Colors for Tomorrow” will both be boosted. The limited 5-star character Evanescia will also receive a rerun in the first half of the version. In the second half, the limited 5-star character Mortenax Blade get a rerun as well. The upcoming “Love, Ghosts & Robots” event will feature The Trailblazer helping the resurrected Skott run a mechatron workshop, assembling and selling mechatrons to gradually build the workshop into a project with a five-star rating.
Meanwhile, the massive combat reality show event, “Interastral Peace Gala: One Take,” will also start alongside the debut of the brand-new “Astral Imagea” gameplay. The “Astral Slammers Squad!” challenge will also be available. Finally, Hyacine’s new outfit “Warm Cotton Skies” and Evanescia’s new outfit “Lunar Blossoming” will hit the Outfit Show Window together. A press release further outlines the new version’s story:
Serving as the source of all imagenae in Astropolis, the Life Sciences Institute was built under the leadership of Madam Yabuli, head of the IPC’s Technology Department. Now, Yabuli is pushing forward a dangerous plan to “weaponize the husk,” at the cost of every life in Planarcadia, and is even suspected of harboring ties with a mysterious faction that worships the Voracity in Astropolis. To protect the peace of Planarcadia, Pearl plans to use the recovery of Leviathan Essence as a cover to dispatch Kuchiba and Ashveil on a coordinated investigation deep into the Life Sciences Institute, teaming up with the Trailblazer and Nihilux to crush this conspiracy once and for all.
Honkai: Star Rail is available now for Android via Google Play Store, iOS via App Store, PlayStation 5, and PC via Epic Games Store. Lastly, check out the trailer for Version 4.6 below:
