Honkai: Star Rail’s Anime Expo Highlights—What Stood Out?

Anime Expo might be over, but Honkai: Star Rail’s moments there are still buzzing. From exclusive reveals to fan meetups, let’s recap the best bits—and what’s next for Trailblazers.​

Expo Exclusive: New Character Sneak Peek​

The biggest highlight? A first look at a new 5-star character, Dr. Ratio. Leaked footage from the expo shows him wielding a giant scalpel-like weapon, with a skill that “diagnoses” enemies to boost damage. His design? Sleek, with a lab coat and glowing green accents. “Dr. Ratio looks like he’ll shake up the meta—can’t wait,” a fan tweeted, sharing a blurry photo from the panel.​

Fan Meetups & Cosplays​

Trailblazers showed up in force, with cosplays stealing the show. A Kafka cosplayer nailed her red hair and smirk, while a group dressed as the Astral Express crew drew crowds. “Met so many fellow fans—traded theories about Penacony’s lore,” one attendee posted.​

The official booth had a photo op with a life-sized Pom-Pom, and lucky fans walked away with exclusive posters. “My Pom-Pom pic’s now my lock screen,” a player gushed.​

Post-Expo Updates: What’s Next?​

Anime Expo dropped hints about Version 3.5: a new event set in a “space carnival,” with mini-games like asteroid shooting and cosmic ring toss. Rewards include a free 4-star character and a “Carnival King” title.​

Leaks also suggest a rerun of the Luocha banner, perfect for players who missed him. “Hoping 3.5 brings Luocha back—I need a healer,” a Reddit user wrote.​

Community Reactions​

Forums are flooded with expo stories: “The Dr. Ratio reveal had me screaming,” one user said. Others are speculating: “Space carnival? Bet it’s tied to Asta’s backstory.”​

Streamers are revisiting expo clips: “Watching the Dr. Ratio gameplay—his scalpel attack looks brutal,” said “HSR_Streamer.”​
