Updated on July 26, 5:25 p.m. (GMT+8): Adjusted exact release date and added more details.
Yunli is an upcoming 5-star playable character in Honkai Star Rail of the Destruction path who deals Physical damage. So when is the Yunli release date?
She’s a sword hunter from the Xianzhou Zhuming, which also pretty much confirms Trailblazers are going back to the land of the immortals.
Aside from Clara and the Trailblazer, HSR doesn’t currently have any 5-star characters on the Destruction path, which makes Yunli extra special.
If you’re excited to add this Xianzhou sword fighter to your party, you have come to the right place. In this ONE Esports guide, we go over the Yunli release date in Honkai Star Rail, alongside details of her upcoming limited-time banner.
Yunli release date in HSR
Yunli’s release date in Honkai Star Rail is 31 July, 2024.
Yunli is available in phase 1 of version 2.4 on the “Earth Hurled, Ether Curled” banner.
| RARITY | HONKAI STAR RAIL 2.4 BANNER PHASE 1 CHARACTER | PATH | COMBAT TYPE |
| 5-star | Yunli | Destruction | Physical |
| 5-star | Huohuo | Abundance | Wind |
| 4-star | Hanya | Harmony | Physical |
| 4-star | Yukong | Harmony | Imaginary |
| 4-star | Lynx | Abundance | Quantum |
Not much is currently known about this mysterious sword hunter, mainly because she hasn’t appeared in Star Rail’s story yet.
Hoyoverse, however, has released an official character description for Yunli. Here’s what it says about her:
“A sword hunter from the Xianzhou Zhuming and “the Flaming Heart” General Huaiyan’s darling granddaughter. Frank and straightforward. She practiced swordsmanship and forging from Huaiyan since young, and thus is the second-youngest prodigy swordmaster of the Flamewheel Octet. Fueled by an intense loathing for the cursed swords that emerged from the Zhuming, she vowed to “hunt down and wipe out all cursed swords.”
Yunli is voiced by Brenna Larsen (English), who you may recall as the voice of Navia in Genshin Impact, and Shion Wakayama (Japanese), who you may recall as the voice of Lila in Ys X: Nordics.
She’s also the voice of Ellen Joe in Hoyoverse’s upcoming action RPG Zenless Zone Zero.
When will Yunli banner conclude in Honkai Star Rail?
Yunli’s limited-time banner concludes on 21 August, 2024, like other limited-time 5-star event warps.
You will have three weeks to get Yunli and her Eidolons, though don’t be too hard on yourself if you can’t get her on the first attempt, as her banner will likely return again in HSR.
