Hey guys, it's your favorite leaker and Star Rail enthusiast back at it again! 😎 So, the whispers about Version 2.5 are getting louder, and if the leaks are to be believed (and they usually are from my sources), we're in for a wild ride starting early September. I've been combing through all the info, and let me tell you, the alleged banner schedule is looking absolutely stacked. We've got three new faces—Feixiao, Lingsha, and Moze—plus the potential debut of a brand-new, game-changing banner type that could shake up our pulling strategies forever. Buckle up, Trailblazers, because this update might just be one for the history books!

Alright, let's dive into the juicy Phase 1 details first. According to the leaks, the first half of 2.5 is where the real action begins. The star of the show? Feixiao, our brand-new 5-star Wind Hunt character. Now, I've seen some gameplay rumors, and let me just say... she sounds busted. 🤯 The word on the street is that she's a main DPS who absolutely DOMINATES with follow-up attacks. And get this—her allies' strikes can trigger her own follow-ups too! It sounds like she's going to be a non-stop damage machine, constantly whacking enemies. Oh, and her Technique? It's rumored to let her gather up a whole mob of enemies and then just nuke them. Talk about satisfying crowd control!

But wait, there's more! Phase 1 is also supposedly where we'll see the debut of a completely new banner type. This is huge, guys! The leak suggests it will feature not one, but THREE 5-star characters: Robin, Black Swan, and Kafka. The alleged mechanic? You pick one of them as your target, and if you win the 50/50, you get them. The big question mark is what happens if you lose—does it go to one of the other featured characters, or does it default to the standard pool? We'll need official confirmation, but this could be a massive win for players chasing specific reruns.

And let's not forget about our new 4-star buddy, Moze! He's a Lightning Hunt character, and guess what? He's also rumored to be a follow-up attack specialist. The synergy is real! The leak says he'll have a boosted rate alongside Luka and Asta in the Phase 1 banners. If the usual schedule holds, you'll have from September 3rd to September 24th to pull for Feixiao, try your luck on the new triple banner, or snag some Moze constellations. After his debut, Moze will join the standard pool, so don't stress too much if you miss him.

Now, flip the calendar to Phase 2, running from September 24th to October 15th. This is where the spotlight shifts to Lingsha, the new 5-star Fire Abundance character. The rumors about her kit are insane. We're talking about a healer who doesn't just sit back and mend wounds—she gets in the fight! 🥊 Her healing is supposedly tied to offensive, follow-up attack actions. Early whispers are calling her the best healer in the game, potentially surpassing even Huohuo and Luocha in terms of sustained healing and cleansing power. If you've been struggling with survivability in end-game content, Lingsha might be your new best friend.

Sharing the banner with her in Phase 2 is none other than Dr. Ratio! This is a big deal because, as many of you know, he's only had one limited banner run way back in Version 1.6 (and he was free during that period too). For all the new players or anyone who missed him, this is your golden ticket. Dr. Ratio is a monster Imaginary Hunt DPS who also thrives on follow-up attacks. Pairing him with Lingsha's offensive healing could create some truly terrifying team compositions.

So, let's break down what we think we know in a quick list:

  • Phase 1 (Sept 3-24):

  • New 5-star: Feixiao (Wind, Hunt)

  • New Banner Type: Featuring Robin, Black Swan, Kafka

  • New 4-star & Rate-ups: Moze, Luka, Asta

  • Phase 2 (Sept 24 - Oct 15):

  • New 5-star: Lingsha (Fire, Abundance)

  • Rerun 5-star: Dr. Ratio (Imaginary, Hunt)

  • 4-star Rate-ups: TBA (Leaks are unclear here)

Of course, we have to take all this with a grain of salt. 🧂 HoYoverse could always change things up last minute—rerun choices and 4-star lineups are especially fluid. The official Version 2.5 livestream is expected to drop soon, likely in late August, and that's when we'll get the final, confirmed roadmap. Until then, these leaks give us an amazing glimpse into what's coming and let us start planning our Stellar Jade savings (or opening our wallets, no judgment here!).

What do you guys think? Are you saving for Feixiao's relentless follow-ups, Lingsha's offensive healing, or the chance to finally get Dr. Ratio? Or maybe you're most excited about that mysterious new triple-feature banner? Let me know in the comments below! And remember, while waiting for 2.5, we've still got the current version to enjoy. Seriously, if you haven't tried out Jiaoqiu with Acheron yet... you're missing out on some truly broken damage. Anyway, that's all the tea for now. Stay tuned for more updates, and may all your 50/50s be wins! ✨
