Highlights
- Tingyun could undergo a major transformation with nine tails and a switch from Lightning to Fire.
- This potential change could make Tingyun a more versatile character with a unique playstyle.
- The leak hints at Tingyun shifting to the Path of Nihility, focused on applying debuffs to enemies.
Honkai: Star Rail‘s popular four-star character, Tingyun, is rumored to be getting a new form, according to recent leaks.
If true, this would be a big change for the character, much like the previous updates to early-game characters Dan Heng and March 7th.
Both characters also introduced early in the game, received new forms that expanded their gameplay possibilities. Now, it seems Tingyun, who’s been a popular choice for many players since the beginning, might be next in line.
The leak, credited to the reliable source Seele, suggests that Tingyun’s new form will feature a big transformation. When her Skill is activated, she will reportedly unleash nine tails.
But the changes aren’t just cosmetic. Her Combat Type will switch from Lightning to Fire. Additionally, while Tingyun currently follows the Combat Path Harmony, in this new form, she will shift to the Path of Nihility.
Tingyun’s New Form Hints At Dramatic Overhaul
If this leak proves accurate, Tingyun might undergo a complete overhaul, potentially becoming a distinct character in her own right. This would parallel the transformation of March 7th, which offered Preservation and The Hunt as two separate forms, each offering a unique playstyle.
Tingyun’s new form could provide a fresh approach to her character, making her an even more versatile option for players.
The information in this article is based on a leak and must be taken with a pinch of salt, as nothing concrete has been confirmed by Hoyoverse.
In Honkai: Star Rail, Paths are philosophical concepts that guide the abilities of characters known as Pathstriders. Each Path is associated with an Aeon, a powerful being that embodies its philosophy.
The Path of Nihility, which Tingyun may adopt, is characterized by an admiration for laziness and exhaustion as “meaningless behavior,” according to the game’s lore.
In gameplay terms, this means Tingyun would focus on applying debuffs to enemies, reducing their combat effectiveness.
As of now, there’s no official word on when this version of Tingyun might appear in Honkai: Star Rail. However, rumours suggest it could arrive in update 2.7, which Game Rant speculates will be released in December 2024. Until then, players will have to wait and see if this exciting new form for Tingyun becomes a reality.
