In Honkai: Star Rail‘s Version 1.3 update, Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae, a new 5-star character, was introduced this morning UK time. In case you weren’t able to figure out exactly how the shiny new Imbibitor Lunae relates to Dan Heng, a core freebie character in Astral Express. As part of the update, HoYoverse has released an animated short that explains… not much more than we already knew, but it’s cool nonetheless! Below, check it out.

There are no fewer than ten established Star Rail characters in the short film, which runs for under six minutes, but it packs in a lot of content. Our boy Dan Heng and his past self, Dan Feng, a.k.a. the guy with glowing deer horns, are the highlight of the battle in the center of the mind between Imbibitor Lunae and his past self, Dan Feng. In the new “Epochal Spectrum” banner for the game, you’ll be able to purchase a gacha with glowing deer horns.
It’s hard for me to give too many spoilers for the short, not only because I’m still trying to figure out what I just watched without seeing more content, but it’s a fun five-minute watch if you like attractively animated shorts and/or Honkai: Star Rail. It’s also a sweet ending, especially if you’re a March 7th fan who thinks she’s the best, a sweetheart, and that Dan Heng should stop degrading her.
