HSR Leaks: The fan-favorite 5-star character is set to appear again in version 2.6

Honkai Star Rail 2.5 revealed a lot of information while giving us a lot of things to think about. Version 2.5 perfectly sets the stage for the upcoming version 2.6, which will likely continue the actual Wardance tournament while also giving us more information about Ruan Mei and her shenanigans with the revived Tingyun. Version 2.6 is also expected to release the new 5-star character Rappa, who will be another break DPS like Firefly and Boothill. Recent leaks now reveal another fan-favorite character who will reappear alongside Rappa in version 2.6, making the upcoming banner quite a challenge for most players.

Leaks via Firefly Leaks posted on Reddit reveal that fan-favorite character Acheron is expected to appear again in the Honkai Star Rail 2.6 banners. Acheron is currently widely considered to be the best DPS character in Honkai Star Rail, as he has an extremely broken ultimate that will wipe out any enemy, regardless of the nature of their weakness. This character is also one of the strongest characters in Honkai Star Rail history – he is the Emanator of Nihility. Acheron's real name is Raiden Bosenmori Mei, which also makes her an EXPY of Honkai Impact 3rd, further increasing her popularity in the community.

The repetition of Acheron in the version 2.6 banners will definitely take away a lot of his appeal from Rappa, who is also expected to be a strong character. But Don't let this stop you from your future Rappa song I'll refrain from going all-in during the version 2.6 banner as her kit is pretty strong too. Tell us who you're more excited about in version 2.6 and if you'd save the Stellar Jades for the new Tingyun in version 2.7 instead.
