The Honkai Star Rail 1.2 release time is set for 8pm PT / 11pm ET today, July 18, or 4am BT on July 1, which means we're just hours away from the debut banner for the new five-star character Blade. Bear in mind that, based on previous updates, scheduled maintenance downtime may end up to an hour early.
Blade is one of three new characters coming in Honkai Star Rail update 1.2, subtitled Even Immortality Ends. He's a five-star, Wind-type Destruction character whose abilities revolve around sacrificing his health and soaking up incoming damage. His skill burns a chunk of his health to greatly empower his normal attacks for three turns, making him a skill point-efficient party member. His ultimate does AoE damage based on how much damage he's taken, and it sets his current HP to 50% of his maximum HP.
