Honkai: Star Rail started their drip marketing for their future 2.4 update, and the first character to be revealed was Yunli, a 5-star Physical Destruction character.

Yunli is set to be released in the first phase of Honkai: Star Rail 2.4 on July 30.

Today we’ll go over everything we know about her and what you can expect from this new character.

Yunli Introduction


Honkai Star Rail Yunli Drip Marketing - New Character
HoYoverse

A sword hunter from the Xianzhou Zhuming and "the Flaming Heart" General Huaiyan's darling granddaughter. Frank and straightforward.

She practiced swordsmanship and forging from Huaiyan since young, and thus is the second-youngest prodigy swordmaster of the Flamewheel Octet.

Yunli is the newest 5-star character that is revealed to be coming to Honkai: Star Rail. From her drip marketing, we now know that she will be a 5-star physical character who follows the path of Destruction.

Given that all previous Destruction characters have been some of the most game-changing units to be released and units that are always on top of the DPS tier lists, no one can blame us for having high hopes for Yunli.

As of right now, there is nothing much known about her kit, but leakers have told us that Yunli is apparently going to work as a mix between Blade and Clara, where she will have an HP drain mechanic and will focus on powerful AOE follow-up attacks.

However, as we know that leaks are not always reliable, it is advised to take this information with a grain of salt.

Yunli Release Date


Yunli is set to release in Honkai: Star Rail version 2.4. Currently, there is no official statement on whether she’ll be running in phase one or phase two of the version, but given how HoYoverse goes about their drip marketing announcements, we can safely speculate that Yunli will appear in phase one.

Phase one of version 2.4 will start right after the version’s release on July 30, giving you close to two months to save up for Yunli if you’d like to get her. If you do your dailies every day, that’s a whopping 20 pulls.

We will keep you updated with any new information regarding her kit, so be sure to check back regularly.
