The highly anticipated Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.4 is generating buzz among players with leaked details about the new form of March 7th, along with potential banner reruns.
March 7th's Form Transformation: Animations and Gameplay
Recent leaks are showcasing the animations and menus associated with March 7th's new form, set to debut in Version 2.4. The character will switch to the Hunt Path, gaining a new outfit inspired by the Xianzhou Luofu and wielding dual blades instead of her traditional bow.
Switching between forms will play a special animation, visually highlighting the character's outfit change and weapon transformation. The new form will boast unique Traces and Eidolons, enhancing her gameplay and offering new strategic options for players.
The leak reveals March 7th's idle animations, featuring her practicing swordsmanship and mimicking a camera to take pictures. Her attack animations are equally captivating, featuring slashing attacks with a dark pink trail, flower petals enveloping her during Technique activation, and a powerful wave of energy unleashed during her follow-up attack.
The skill animation showcases March 7th presenting Boba milk tea to an ally, while her Ultimate sees her launch an attack after pondering her training and the milk tea.
Version 2.4 Banners: Huohuo Rerun
A leak from leaker Block, known for sharing questionable information, suggests that the popular healer Huohuo will make a comeback in Version 2.4 banners. Huohuo's last appearance was in Version 1.5, when she was first introduced.

Her Ultimate ability grants a substantial ATK bonus to allies, proving valuable in hypercarry team comps. Additionally, her passive talent enables continuous healing after using her Skill, allowing players to save Skill Points.

The release of March 7th's new form coincides with a Version 2.4 patch centered around the Astral Express's return to the Xianzhou Luofu. The update will introduce two new five-star characters from the Xianzhou Luofu: Jiaoqiu and Yunli, joining the existing roster.
