NewHonkai: Star Rail2.7 leaks about Tingyun’s rumored 5-star form have emerged and they hint at a promising update to her alleged gameplay kit that will be positive for more players than expected. Version 2.7 is still nearly two months away from release as the turn-based RPG by HoYoverse has yet to enter Version 2.6. The contents of the patch have already mostly been leaked, but theHonkai: Star Rail2.6 livestreamshould detail Rappa’s abilities as a playable 5-star Imaginary character and confirm the new quests and events being added with the next update.
Although players have yet to go through the final weeks of Version 2.5 and the entirety of Version 2.6, a few leaks about Version 2.7 are emerging. This includes new story leaks about Tingyun’s rumored return to the campaign following her long absence, as well as Sunday’s possible release. There have also been several mentions of Tingyun’s new 5-star playable form and the possibility ofHonkai: Star Rail2.7 being the longest updateso far. Now, additional rumored details about Tingyun’s new release have been shared and they sound extremely promising from a gameplay perspective.
Tingyun’s Leaked Gameplay Kit In Honkai: Star Rail 2.7 Is Further Detailed
The Character Is Compared To Ruan Mei
According to information provided by the leaker known as Seele Leaks, which was shared in a post flagged as “Questionable” onReddit,Tingyun’s new 5-star form may not be a dedicated support for Break DMG team comps. Instead, the leaker draws a comparison to Ruan Mei, who is suitable for team comps of such a structure but is not limited to serving them, exclusively. This new piece of information arises among the previous leaks that mentioned thatTingyun’s new 5-star form inHonkai: Star Railwould be a specialist for Super Break DMG team comps, like the Harmony Trailblazer.
5-Star Tingyun’s Leaked Abilities In Honkai: Star Rail 2.7 May Be Great
The Character Is Said To Buff Allies & Debuff Enemies
The leak details the most important part of Tingyun’s rumored gameplay kit. For instance, her Skill allegedly creates an aura for a single-target ally and she can boost the team’s stats based on the chosen character. For reasons of comparison, the leaks mention thatTingyun’s Skill may operate similarly to March 7th (Hunt)’s own Skill, which triggers different effects based on the character she assigns as her Shifu.March 7th (Hunt) inHonkai: Star Railcan grant extra DMG if the Shifu is a Destruction character, for example, while Toughness Reduction is increased if the Shifu is Abundance.
The leak also highlights 5-star Tingyun’s rumored Ultimate ability. According to it, her Ultimate is an important part of her kit and, by using it,Tingyun attacks all enemies and has a chance of applying a debuff on each of them, which can be triggered multiple times. The exact nature of the debuff is uncertain, but debuffs usually make enemies more susceptible to damage or slow them down, for example. Normally, debuffs are attributed to Nihility characters but the lack of specificity makes it hard to determine if this would make Tingyun a Harmony or Nihility character.
So far, there have been rumors of 5-star Tingyun being a Fire character who follows the Path of the Destruction, Harmony, or Nihility inHonkai: Star Rail.
Lastly, the leak also details 5-star Tingyun’s rumored passive Talent. The leak says thather Talent can provide several functions to her teammates, including increasing their damage output, advancing their actions, and even charging their Energy pools. This could all be put into a single effect or, which is most likely, be part of her leaked Skill, which has varying effects based on the chosen character to receive the rumored aura. The most important aspect of this leak is that there is simply no mention whatsoever of Break DMG mechanics, which disrupts previousHonkai: Star Railleaks.
5-Star Tingyun Could Be A Generalist Support In Honkai: Star Rail
This Would Allow Her More Team Comp Variety
The prospect of Tingyun not being directly chained to Break DMG mechanics is extremely enticing. Despite Break DMG and Super Break DMG leading the meta at the moment due to how strong the mechanics are,having a generalist support who can operate in such a team but is not restricted to it is very appealing. Ruan Mei is one of the game’s best supports because, while she does prove to be indispensable in Break team comps, she can boost the power of, essentially, any type of party. For example,Ruan Mei inHonkai: Star Railworks well with classic DPS.
In fact, Ruan Mei’s release came before Break DMG and Super Break DMG overtook the meta and she was already one of the best support characters. If the same structure is applied to 5-star Tingyun’s rumored gameplay design, she could help serve team comps led by Break specialists, such as Firefly and Rappa, for example, and may prove to be a great ally to the Harmony Trailblazer. However, if the leaks are true,Tingyun may be indispensable in other types of team comps. The rumored ability to increase damage, forward actions, and recharge Energy is crucial inHonkai: Star Rail.
5-Star Tingyun’s Leaked Generalist Support Design In Honkai: Star Rail Is Great
The Character Could Be Used More Consistently
In addition to being able to be inserted in a variety of team comps and not being restricted by Break teams, specifically, there is another great aspect of 5-star Tingyun’s leaked generalist support design. Oftentimes,it is common for characters who are tied to a specific mechanic to be left aside when the mechanic itself is not being used. As strong as Harmony Trailblazer is, for instance, they are not used in other types of team comps if not of Super Break DMG, and when Break DMG is not at the forefront of an activity, they are simply left aside.
Honkai: Star Rail Leaks - New Stoneheart Character Will Be The First Of Their Kind
Leaks about Honkai: Star Rail’s new Stoneheart character have emerged, indicating they will have an exclusive gameplay ability that may change combat.
Even with the scarcity of more precise details, the leaks hint at the potential that 5-star Tingyun has of becoming one of the game’s best and most used supports, and a lot of that lies in the rumors that she is not a Break DMG specialist, but a generalist who can work with Break DMG and other types of mechanics. Of course, these are still very early leaks and they should be considered with caution as a lot may be proven incorrect or subject to change. Nevertheless, it seems likeTingyun’s return inHonkai: Star Railis all but confirmed.
