The Astral Express hype train ain't stopping anytime soon! Fresh leaks about Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.4 have sent the community into frenzy mode, teasing two new 5★ characters and a nostalgic return to Xianzhou Luofu. After partying in Penacony's Dreamscape for multiple patches, Trailblazers might finally get their boarding passes stamped for the celestial Chinese-inspired flagship again.

🔥⚫ Meet Jiaoqiu: Fire Nihility Meta-Shaker

This mysterious foxian(?) arsonist brings FIRE to the Nihility path with DEF-shredding capabilities and Ultimate DMG amplification. Leaked kit details suggest:

Perfect synergy with Kafka teams? ABSOLUTELY. Leakers call him 『DoT Team's Missing Puzzle Piece』.
