A recent leak from Honkai: Star Rail is teasing a pair of new Relic sets coming to the game with the Version 2.6 update next month. Each new update to the popular sci-fi RPG from HoYoverse typically brings a wide variety of content for players to engage with, ranging from new story and explorable areas to more in-game challenges. HoYoverse often adds new ways for players to outfit their characters with its updates, including brand-new Light Cones, Relics, and Planar Ornaments. Now, a new set of Relics is planned for the game's next update.
Throughout the game's lifespan, Honkai: Star Rail has added a plethora of different Relics for players to acquire in-game. Many of the game's earliest Relics boast powerful generic effects, aimed at providing general benefits for everything from Elemental Damage and ATK to HP and defensive stats. HoYoverse also often adds Relic sets correlating with the game's new characters, featuring unique abilities catered towards those new roster members' playstyles. The newest sets coming to the game look to provide several powerful and generic effects.
Honkai: Star Rail Leaks New Version 2.6 Relic Sets
A new leak shared to the Honkai: Star Rail leaks subreddit via prominent leaker Dim is teasing two new Relic Sets in Version 2.6. The "Sacerdos' Living Appeal" set offers a 6% increase in the holder's SPD for its two-piece bonus, while the 4-piece bonus adds a 20% Crit DMG boost to abilities targeting a single other party member. "Scholar Lost in Erudition" focuses on damage with its two-piece bonus giving 6% Crit Rate and its four-piece set buffing Ultimate and Skill damage, with another special boost to Skills after using an Ultimate. Both sets will release with Honkai: Star Rail's Version 2.6, currently scheduled for October 22.
Star Rail's powerful new sets already look to have a plethora of viable options for maximizing their utility in players' teams. Sacerdos' Living Appeal should be a powerful choice for some of Star Rail's most popular support characters, serving particularly well on characters like Bronya and Sparkle. Scholar Lost in Erudition provides a generically powerful boost to both Crit Rate and characters heavily focused around their Skill and Ultimate, maximizing that character's damage.
Along with the new Relic Sets, Honkai: Star Rail's next update will also boast one new addition to the game's playable roster. HoYoverse recently revealed Rappa as Version 2.6's lone new five-star character, coming to the game as an Imaginary Erudition party member likely focused around multi-target damage. Leaks have already given a hint at how Rappa will play as well, suggesting she will feature both follow-up attacks and enhanced Basic Attacks in her kit. Version 2.6 looks to be bringing both a highly-anticipated character and powerful new Relic sets to Honkai: Star Rail.
