Honkai: Star Rail Leak Teases Acheron Rerun
A new update shared by Honkai: Star Rail leaker Firefly Leaks is teasing one of the rerun characters set to be featured in Version 2.6. According to the leak, the Version 2.6 update will feature the re-appearance of Acheron on the game’s limited gacha banner, serving as one of the featured reruns. Acheron last appeared during her debut gacha banner in Version 2.1, with the Star Rail version of Honkai Impact 3rd‘s Raiden Mei initially claiming herself to be a member of the Galaxy Rangers. Version 2.6 is currently expected to launch on October 22.
Acheron’s return to the gacha banner will see one of the game’s most powerful characters once again available for players to pick up. Acheron is widely considered to be one of the strongest DPS units within Honkai: Star Rail, owing to her unique Ultimate as her main source of damage. Acheron also operates in a completely different playstyle than other characters in her Path, with Honkai: Star Rail‘s Nihility characters more typically focused on debuffs than raw damage.
The rumored appearance of Acheron in Version 2.6 comes as fans have been given plenty of teasers about future Honkai: Star Rail characters. Leaks have heavily teased two fan-favorite characters arriving within the next few updates, including the long-awaited release of Sunday and a new version of Tingyun. Early leaks have even begun to hint at Honkai: Star Rail‘s next playable world, suggesting it may take inspiration from the Greek and Roman empires. Acheron’s rerun joins a stacked lineup of characters said to be joining Star Rail throughout its upcoming patches.
