The streets have been abuzz with excitement for a playable Imbibitor Lunae practically since Honkai: Star Rail launched. The upcoming 5-star alternate version of starter character Dan Heng was one of the game’s worst-kept secrets, considering that we already got to play as a trial version of him during the Xianzhou Luofu chapter. So yeah, alright, we’ve known for ages that the Astral Express’ tall, dark, and brooding archivist-slash-train guard was in fact a way bigger deal on the galactic stage than he previously let on. But the important thing now is that his extra-strong incarnation will soon be playable permanently — provided you can win a test of luck in the gacha, of course.
You won’t have to wait much longer for him either, because Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae’s banner will be running during Phase 1 of Version 1.3, launching on August 30th. Phase 2, expected on September 20th, will see the debut of Fu Xuan’s banner, as well as the introduction of Lynx.
