Honkai: Star Rail version 4.7 update ‘Now, Lay Laughter to All Stars’ launches November 11

Here is an overview of the update, via miHoYo:

In this update, Planarcadia will host a final performance to determine fate’s course. Aeon ★ Aha officially makes THEIR debut. Not only are THEY the director of this universe-wide performance, but THEY will also join the fray to initiate the final “Phantasmoon Games.” In this apocalyptic spectacle, THEY will battle the awakened leviathan, the Voracity, and stand alongside the Trailblazer in a showdown that will decide the destiny of the universe.

For over a thousand Amber Eras, the leviathan, the Voracity, has been kept sealed by Aha’s “Phantasmoon Games.” But now, this behemoth is on the verge of a full awakening. To stop the leviathan from regaining its strength and devouring the entire universe, Aha has launched the hunt for the Voracity, summoning eight Supplicants to stage a spectacular performance known as the “Final Phantasmoon Games.” Serving as the stage for this grand scheme, the Starfroster will set sail across the vast sea of stars. Tasked with the mission to lure the Voracity, this sweet, cake-like ship will bear witness to a grand finale spanning the cosmos, under the orchestration of The Laughter.

In this update, the limited 5-star character on the Path of Elation, Aeon ★ Aha, will officially make THEIR debut. As the creator of the “Phantasmoon Games,” THEY have spent millennia observing the joys and sorrows of the cosmos through theatrics and jests. This time, to stop the Voracity from devouring the universe, Aha has decided to take the stage THEMSELF, orchestrating the grand finale of hunting the Voracity. In combat, Aeon ★ Aha will cause the Path of Elation to ascend for Elation characters, allowing each Elation character to unlock unique combat abilities. Furthermore, Aha will star as the leading role in the all-new “Aha Instant,” fast-forwarding the performances of Elation Skills. It is worth noting that the entire team will continuously accumulate Wishpower for Aha during battle. Once Wishpower is full, the Ultimate can be activated, dealing Elation DMG to all enemies. Not only that, but empowered by THEIR Aeonic Authority, ally attacks can directly reduce enemy Max HP.

In the first half of Version 4.7, the limited 5-star characters Silver Wolf LV.999, Sparxie, and Yao Guang will get their reruns, while Acheron, Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae, and Jing Yuan will make their return in the second half. Additionally, Version 4.7 will introduce a brand-new growth system, Affinitive Eidolon. Once Trailblazers own the designated characters and unlock their corresponding Affinitive Eidolons, they can unlock new additional abilities for these characters and their capabilities in combat. Acheron, Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae, and Jing Yuan will be the first to be enhanced by Affinitive Eidolons, unlocking exclusive combat buffs to provide indispensable help on the trailblazing expedition.

For the version events and gameplay, the all-new version event, “The Fluffy Movie: Overheated,” kicks off! Trailblazers can assist Aha in running a dessert shop to earn Gold Coins. The new combat event, “Interastral Peace Gala: Road to Fame,” will also be available simultaneously. The permanent gameplay, “Currency Wars,” welcomes its massive second season, “Voyage Into the Canvas,” bringing a comprehensive update. Moreover, by participating in the “Phantasia Showstage” event, Trailblazers will have the chance to obtain Aeon ★ Aha’s limited outfit “Star Lotto” and other rewards! At the same time, the animated short “A Joyful Funeral Beneath the Moon” will be released on the day the version goes live. Finally, upon the grand stage where mortals and gods perform as one, the stars will sing a brand-new track, “Ex Nihilo,” for Aha’s grand performance. This will deliver an immersive narrative experience for Trailblazers, uniquely crafted for the finale of the Planarcadia arc. Stay tuned!
