New Honkai: Star Rail leaks have provided information on March 7th’s upcoming transformation!
Honkai: Star Rail is a turn-based role-playing gacha game developed by miHoYo and published globally by HoYoverse. The game is approaching its first anniversary on April 26, 2024.
Players take on the role of the Trailblazer, who joined the Astral Express Crew as they travel through space to help out on planets. The latest planet the players visit is Penacony, introduced in the 2.0 update.
On March 16, 2024, Honkai: Star Rail hosted a special program for version 2.1, during which they discussed the possibility of a new transformation for March 7th. A leak revealed a sneak peek into her possible transformation.
According to the leak, March 7th’s transformation would involve her using dual blades. Her splash art would be similar to that of the Preservation Trailblazer, which also features Xianzhou characters.
Some Honkai: Star Rail fans speculate that March 7th’s transformation will be released after the next Xianzhou storyline. Another fan guessed this meant going to a new Xianzhou ship as they didn’t see March 7th “bonding” with the old Luofu characters. This may set up March 7th’s power-up arc on Xianzhou Yaoqing, one of the six Flagships.
Other players wondered if the new March 7th would require new Eidolons. It was stated by the devs that this would be similar to the Trailblazer in terms of switching between Paths, but may be a different story for her Eidolons. The Trailblazer’s Eidolons are free, while March 7th’s have been through gacha. This led players to believe that her new transformation’s Eidolons would be based on the Eidolons her base path currently has.
In addition to information regarding her transformation weapon and splash art, there are also leaks on her weapon texture. The Reddit user shared that they found “Avatar_Mar_7th_10_Weapon_Color” in the version 2.1 files but didn’t have its own model yet.
While it would still be a long time before March 7th’s transformation officially releases, seeing her getting a unique and different mechanic like the Trailblazer’s is exciting. Look out for more Honkai: Star Rail updates and guides here on Level Push!
