Next 5* Characters After Rappa and 2.6 Light Cones via [Sakura Haven] by u/CTheng in HonkaiStarRail_leaks

According to a reliable leak from Sakura Haven, Sunday and Tingyun are anticipated to be the next 5-star characters introduced after Rappa in Honkai Star Rail 2.7.

Given that Rappa is already confirmed for the upcoming version 2.6, players can reasonably expect that both Sunday and Tingyun will be highlighted during the version 2.7 drip marketing campaign. There hasn’t been any information regarding the new 4-star character, so Trailblazers will need to wait for the official announcement.

Past leaks indicate that the new version of Tingyun is expected to follow the Nihility Path, while Sunday will align with the Harmony Path, similar to his sister Robin. This setup suggests that Tingyun will specialize in debuffing enemies, whereas Sunday will bolster his allies’ combat abilities.

Regarding the version 2.7 drip marketing schedule, it is expected to start on October 7, 2024, and could last for either two or three days, based on the number of characters HoYoverse decides to announce.

Region	Date	Time
Asia	October 7, 2024	11:30 AM (CST)
Europe	October 7, 2024	4:30 AM (BST)
America	October 6, 2024	8:30 AM (PT)

If HoYoverse announces three characters during the Honkai Star Rail 2.7 drip marketing campaign, the timing of the announcements will likely be consistent across all three days. Historically, developers tend to reveal three characters on consecutive days.
