You can watch the Honkai: Star Rail Acheron trailer “Your Color” here:

It is also available in Japanese, Mandarin, and Korean.

The trailer shows Acheron fighting off against multiple illusions of the Stellaron Hunters, courtesy of Sparkle. Scenes of the fight (in 3D animation) are interspersed with 2D animations of what looks like Raiden Mei putting on her make-up. Like in her Myriad Celestia trailer, the “Your Color” trailer seems to reference Honkai Impact 3rd.

Acheron will debut in the first phase of the upcoming Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.1 banner. Luocha will also make his re-run then. As a reminder, Acheron will be a 5-star Lightning Nihility who will act as your DPS, while Luocha is a 5-star Imaginary Abundance character who is one of the best sustain units in the game. Other characters who will have rate-ups during these banners are Dan Heng, Pela, and Gallagher. Gallagher will also be one of the new characters, and he’ll be a 4-star Fire Abundance.

Honkai: Star Rail is readily available for the PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices.
