Summary

  • Dan Heng may be getting a new form in update 3.0, which differs from the previous special path.
  • A new form might follow the Path of Remembrance, focusing on supporting summons.
  • Recent updates hint at a shift in meta from Break effect to a summon-focused playstyle.

As a seasoned critic with over two decades of gaming under my belt, I must say that the latest leak about Dan Heng’s new form in Honkai: Star Rail has piqued my interest. Having played through countless updates and characters in various HoYoverse titles, I can confidently say that this shift towards summon-focused playstyles is a refreshing change from the Break effect meta we’ve seen so far.

Based on several rumors, it’s possible that a prominent character from Honkai: Star Rail could receive a new version in the near future. Since its debut, Honkai: Star Rail has generally adhered to a pattern where they introduce two limited five-star characters per update, one for each cycle of banner releases.

The most recent roster additions include the fan-favorite Sunday, who was part of the first banner cycle of update 2.7, and Fugue, a new Fire-Nihility character currently featured on the limited banner. Unlike other popular HoYoverse titles like Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail grants new forms to its existing characters and introduces them as new playable units.

In the latest developments, a well-regarded figure in the Honkai: Star Rail community named Seele Leaks has suggested that one of the four-star characters, Dan Heng, is set to receive an upgrade to a more potent five-star version or possibly a new appearance (Special Path). Previously, another character, Herta, was also confirmed to undergo a similar transformation in update 3.0. Interestingly, Dan Heng had already received a Special Path earlier, specifically through Honkai: Star Rail’s Imbibitor Lunae. However, this doesn’t seem to shock some fans, as they argue that it is fitting for Dan Heng and March 7th, who are major characters along with the Trailblazer, to receive new forms given their significant roles in the game.

Honkai: Star Rail – Dan Heng New Form Expectations

In my movie buff vernacular, let me tell you this: “I’ve been hooked on Honkai: Star Rail, and I must say, Dan Heng’s Imbibitor Lunae is not the same character I initially adored! The Destruction Path he’s taken has transformed him into a powerhouse offensive unit. He’s still top-tier in DPS, no doubt about it. But here’s the buzz – fans are eagerly anticipating Dan Heng’s next form to be on the Path of Remembrance, a fresh class rumored to debut with update 3.0! Can’t wait to see what’s next!

In this gamepath, only Aglaea and the updated Trailblazer are known to be treading this path so far. Although the data is limited, it appears that characters from Honkai: Star Rail’s Remembrance might possess abilities centered around summoning and aiding on-field allies. Some players have been advocating for HoYoverse to change the game’s meta away from the Break effect, and it seems that the emerging strategy may heavily utilize summons instead.

It’s been suggested that characters like Sunday, who possess supportive abilities allowing summons, were hinting at something similar. As of now, there is no official information about Dan Heng’s transformed state. The sole detail we know for sure is that he won’t be introduced in the forthcoming Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.0, as HoYoverse has announced that this update will showcase Herta and Aglaea as its exclusive new five-star characters.
