Fans seem to be mostly excited about Feixiao, apowerfulHonkai: Star Railcharacterwho has already made multiple in-game appearances. She is known as one of the Seven Arbiter-Generals.
PreviousHonkai: Star Railleakshave suggested that Feixiao’s kit will revolve around dealing single-target damage. This does not come as a surprise, considering that she follows the Path of Destruction, which is usually reserved for powerful DPS units who excel at shredding down HP one target at a time.
As a new five-star Abundance character, Lingsha is expected to be a powerful healer and support unit. According to previous leaks, she will be able to deal AoE damage and provide healing at the same time, scaling with her ATK stat.
