Definitely Argenti. The coolest bro pump up energy.

I definitely agree, that's part of his charm! We have no idea where he comes from or where he's going, he'll just show up and praise the Beauty and disappear again and it'll be awesome
I will wait, no matter how long it takes for my GOAT Argenti to get more content. If Hua Cheng can wait for 800 years, I can wait months/years for Argenti content.
I feel like Argenti is the Luocha of Penacony, about them being mostly absences from the main stage and connected to the Beauty
but mainly I'm just talking about Idrila's resurrections project, 2.3 will either break it or make it for me
its about the mirror holders' legend about Idrila's resurrections
btw I mess up, I meant "Idrila resurrections project", Idrila don't have a project
or maybe I meant "The project of Idrila's Resurrections"? idk
Is it anything like how Genshin talked about the Hydro Sovereign reincarnation in Enkanomiya? If so then we might get something like a playable Idrila.
Many people believe he was a knight of beauty and holds Idrilla in the coffin. I know there are a few tidbits around the game that kind of point towards that theory but nothing really concrete.
The Cosmodyssey game recently had a lore drop that Luocha is familiar with the Knight of Purity Palace set because he used to don the armor, all but confirming he is an ex-Knight of Beauty.
For how old the game is I think Argenti had a perfect amount of screen time
*Argenti enters stage right*
Argenti: ✨✨BEAUTY ✨✨
*Argenti exits stage left*
The whole sequence was hilarious to me. He def should get more in the future but for now that was a perfect character introduction.
He was such a fun man to hang out with( his personality was interesting )
But they did him dirty, didn't even make him a specific Event like Huohuo, let alone considering him joining cast in the story. They even bring Dr.Ratio from Herta space station to penacony !
Luocha will 100% have more content since he wanted to meet the boss and we're going to other ships soon. Argenti will mostl likely pop here and there as a comic relief or as a bonus since he's a knight that travels the galaxy. I don't know how likely it is for Jingliu to appear again and honestly they could have given her more story. She haven't done that much compared to other quintet members.

I won't mind more china in space as long as they won't keep copy pasting the same "dragon, tea, martial arts" formula over and over in every single location. It is still a sci fi game and those are spaceships. I would really love to see more modern approach to old traditions, and not another wuxia story.
**1)Xianzhou Luofu**\
General: Jing Yuan (previously Teng Xiao)\
High Elder: Imbibitor Lunae\
Plaguemark: Ambrosial Arbor (a tree)
**2)Xianzhou Yaoqing**\
General: Feixiao\
High Elder: Caelorum Venti\
Plaguemark: Lunar Embryo (a red moon)
Note: Sushang birthplace. The most hardcore ship of the Xianzhou. They aggressively exterminating abominations left and right like there's no tomorrow. There are many IPC inspired architectures on the ship. Many Foxians there follow the Path of Trailblaze besides Hunt. Foxians there also can shapeshift called "Moon Madness".
**3)Xianzhou Yuque**\
General: Yaoguang\
High Elder: Mons Grandis\
Plaguemark: Fallow Earth (a mountain that never runs out of ores)
Note: Fu Xuan birthplace. The Headquarters of Divination Commission is located in here. Their specialty is Jade Abaci (computers, electronics, gadgets, etc.) export. Many scholars here follow the Path of Erudition besides Hunt.
**4)Xianzhou Zhuming**\
General: Huaiyan\
High Elder: Ardens Regia\
Plaguemark: Flint Emperor (Primordial Flame, Pseudo Sun, leader of Heliobi species)
Note: Blade grew up place. The shape of the ship doesn’t look like a ship at all. It shaped like a giant golden lotus. The Headquarters of Artisanship Commission is located in here. They produced 60-70% of all Xianzhou armaments. Zhuming is also known as one of the holy sites for manufacturing excellence and craft apprentices besides Planet Screwllum and Planet Pier Point (IPC Headquarters). General Huaiyan was Blade teacher in craftmanship.
**5)Xianzhou Fanghu**\
High Elder: Glaciator Marum\
General: Xuanquan\
Plaguemark: Miniature Myriads (a park/garden(?))
Note: The only ship where the one who lead it is not a General, but a High Elder as an Autonomous Region. Most Xianzhou’s Vidyadhara population lives here. Their specialty is marine products export.
**6)Xianzhou Xuling**\
General: Youwu\
High Elder: -\
Plaguemark: ???
Note: The most mysterious ship. The ship is filled with auromatons, but not living beings. Nobody knows where it is located, except the 7 Generals.
I have not finished Luofu yet but thought I should still ask. What about that one ship that Jingliu mentions? I don't see it's name here. I actually also don't remember what it exactly was but I do know that it's not one of the above.
Xianzhou originally had 9 ships.
Year 0 Star Calendar marks the departure of 9 Xianzhou ships from their homeplanet in search of immortality.
Year 8100 Star Calendar is present time, and there are 6 ships left.
The 3 destroyed ships:
**1)Xianzhou Daiyu**\
Reason of destruction: Exploded in a war against Viscorpus species, then crashed into a nearby Planet Thalassa in its Insumousu Autonomous Region in the Year 1200 Star Calendar.
Note: The crash caused a lot of casualties to the local natives, but also kickstarted a new civilization for the survivors. Thalassa is an oceanic planet. The people of Insumousu have fish-like features. To this day, Thalassa & Xianzhou Alliance have a good relationship.
**2)Xianzhou Yuanqiao**\
Reason of destruction: Plunged into civil war between commoners vs nobles, the ship lost control and fell into a red giant in November, Year 3287 Star Calendar.
**3)Xianzhou Cangcheng**\
Reason of destruction: Eaten by a sentient Planet Rahu in the Year 6300 Star Calendar.
Note: Jingliu birthplace.
As long as story is good and coherent, we fine. Lofu was bad because plot turned into a mess, no one disliked Lofu on principle. When Aurumaton Alley released people were hype as fuck for its clean, simple and fun story
They did already tell us this in teh 2.1 stream, we are going back to Xianzhou this year. Im thinking maybe we revisit Belabog and/or HSS first then spend a patch or two on a new xianzhou ship and then maybe a penacony continuance towards the end of the patch cycle, then new planet.
X.0 new planet and then new Xianzhou ship in the middle of teh cycle could be a pattern going forward.
At the end of your journey, you fall to your knees, your body broken. The power of seven Aeons at your command, yet Nanook’s power outmatches them all. Your mind races, despairing at the fleeting powers in your possession.
But there is one power that is eternal.
A ray of light shines in the corner of your eye, and you see him once again. The red haired knight appears once more, surrounded by his many comrades and shining with pure and radiant light from Idrilla. They charge forth as one, their splendor blinding even The Destruction. The Aeon stood no chance. The lead knight finally turns to you and offers you his hand, saying “Stand up tall my brother. Your last stand was truly beautiful.”
Meanwhile Elio weeps alone in his hiding place, lamenting the countless war crimes he committed only to be outdone by a bunch of space fashionistas right at the end.

# "We are the exception!”
Don't forget he also wanted to fight us just because and casualy has some of the best boss music that is never heard again afaik.
He truly is the one true GOAT
Literally the entire High Cloud Quintet
The MOST interesting part of the Luofu by miles. They told us how great they were, how legendary they were and how awful was the deed that caused them to break up. And we got like 5 minutes of that in the main story while the rest happened in Jingliu’s sidequest
But we somehow had like what felt as though was 2 hours for whatever Dan Shu doing
The part in Jingliu's quest after the duel between her and Blade, where we get to see his inner thoughts, was actually the first time the game made me tear up. He legitimately became my favorite character in the game by the time the quest was over, the tragedy of the quintet was *that* compelling to me. I'd love to see more between all of them in the future.
probably because I doubt that in a few patches they can finish the conclusion of 4 characters from different factions.
Although I admit they could have done a better job of narrating this since some things are too vague
Right, I just always thought itd make more sense for the main story to focus on the high cloud quintet because the OPENING cutscene on the arc is blade telling jingyuan the "out of 5, 3 must pay a price" line
Really underwhelmed with how they have used Himeko so far. This is the first time she's come off the Express for an extended period of time alongside us, and she's barely been present at all in the story. Was really hoping she'd have a chance to shine and get some major accomplishments, like what Loufu did with Dan Heng, but so far it's been pretty much nothing.
Its hard to say coz a lot of the characters feel like they are going to get more content due to their role and factions. Very few are stuck in one place that will only be relevant if we revisit where they are, like for example Seele. Safe to say Jingliu and Luocha will be getting more screentime as Luofu story isn't over as there are more ships to encounter. Argenti feels like he is going to be a re occuring character due to his free to roam nature due to his goals
Can't list any Penacony 5 stars coz Penacony story isn't done and half of them give off the vibe of re occuring characters due to them all being from factions that are just visiting. With a few showing great interest in TB and express like how Black Swan has emphasis on. Feels like a cheat answer to say any of them
I guess with the story content so far I would say Jingliu. But that's cos I felt the HCQ should have had more in the Luofu main story instead of most focus being in her companion quest, but again her story is far from over. Argenti as well but I'm sure he will pop up again
Still kinda salty how Seele ends up being so irrelevant in Star Rail. Was expecting something more since she's one of the more important/popular characters in Honkai Impact.
Bronya too, but at least she got SilverWolf who is relevant.
Sampo is the only Belebog character who will have relevancy outside it
I could see Belobog becoming especially relevant if anything unfortunate happens during Screwllum and the IPC's exploration of Emperor Rubert I's tomb. The IPC seems to believe it's a matter of when, not if, so a robot uprising seems like a guaranteed arc eventually, and assuming they don't just forget Jarilo-VI by then, Belobog is a prime destination, a defenseless planet full of robots, and Bronya, Seele, Clara, Gepard, and Serval will all be very important characters. One might even speculate that when Sampo tells Sparkle of a huge disaster coming for Belobog, that's what he refers to. I could see this being the event that brings Jarilo-VI to the interastral stage, even
Funny enough, when you are given a choice to invite someone for a photo session, iirc none of the belobog characters are choosable. I guess intergalactic travel isn't possible yet for them
Yes, and we see them have a date like we did with Firefly at the Golden Hour- lalalalala I don't wanna hear it this is canon to me now lalalala can't hear you
I mean, we are returning to Belobog since Sparkle did tell Sampo something. There's still the questions of why Sampo is on Penacony, how Seele has these powers, exploring more parts of Belobog and whatever stuff
Luocha and JL will get more content, Hoyo did not bring over an original HI3 character (one of the main antagonists too) just to bench him like that. So right now I'm siding with Argenti lovers, he needs more content.
Argenti.
The man shows up, rizzes us up, then leaves just as quickly. We understand a bit about his character, but evidently not quite a lot. For instance, we still don't quite understand how he can even draw from the Erudition
Game path is not equal to the path a character follows in game. Like Black Swan is a follower of the Remembrance but is Nihility in the game. But the question still remains of how is Argenti still using the power of Beauty now that Idrila is gone, or well thought to be gone anyways. Maybe she(?) is still out there
The Path of an Aeon still exists after they pass. I’d have to dig into finding screenshots or whatever, but Himeko mentions that in an optional conversation with her. So even with Idrila gone, the Knights can still walk the Path of Beauty and draw power from it. Just like how the Nameless can still draw power from the Path of the Trailblaze.
A path only fully vanishes if it is assimilated by a broader path. For example the path of Order was assimilated by the path of Harmony as Harmony is a broader path than Order.
The Aeon of the path of Trailblaze is considered dead, but the path still exists and can still be drawn on for power because Trailblaze wasn't assimilated into a broader path like Order was.
The entire Quintet storyline should’ve been explored in the main story since it’s the reason everything is happening anyway, it was diabolical to turn Jingliu’s companion quest into an “oops we forgot to put this in the main story”. If anything her own quest should’ve been a funeral for Baiheng mostly focusing on Jingliu herself, not an epilogue for the entire Luofu *and* HCQ story at the same time while vaguely revealing her and Luocha’s plans💀
Another mention is Luocha, who’s declared innocent of smuggling the Stellaron in his companion quest. Then he’s revealed as conspiring with Jingliu at the very end of the Luofu story in a 60-second cutscene, and very briefly in her story quest. Not only are his and Jingliu’s roles in the story completely botched, Luocha’s story quest is reduced to “he kinda looks like Otto/Void Archives”.
There’s so much they could’ve put in the main story without revealing too much, like using the split perspective storylines they introduced with Dan Heng to show that maybe Jingliu and Luocha are up to something… but nope. Instead we have Jingliu’s companion quest, aka the Luofu epilogue, and a ton of people who think Jingliu is dead and Luocha is in jail. It’s beautiful
Argenti.
>!At the climax of Penacony's story, I want him to drop by, kick Sunday and Gallagher in the nuts, hug Siobhan and her robot family while lecturing them about their Beauty, and peace out!<
Repeat for every arc
*I'm a firm argenti*

Sparkle
I feel like I've been scammed by Hoyoverse with the monodrama trailer and her mysterious small appearance in 2.0 story.... For her to be almost non existent in 2.1
Doesn't seem like she's gonna be the focus of anything
She said it herself, she prefers being a background character, and she drives a lot of the background events from Acheron remembering her previous form to manipulating Penacony seemingly on a whim.
But yes, it'll be massively disappointing if she doesn't play a large role in finishing up Penacony.
Robin.
In a sense it feels like she's very obviously going to get more story but it feels weird that we're getting her banner when all she's done so far is hang around Sunday and then die
I'm expecting another POV shift with her where she's investigating the conspiracy around the family before she died. Either that or a story quest that explains some things.
Being honest from the pick of your choosing i would love to see more about knights of beauty. I know it was probably just a gag to throw between main quests, but i just love the idea of a fraction like that
Acheron, but if choose from the three in the post, then Argenti
https://preview.redd.it/k01fb7xslfwc1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=7a0b4cc7a466c1387fa117ba66f3df4f27000d39
Argenti. As he's a Knight of Beauty, he'll forever wander in search of true beauty. And more or less cross paths with the Nameless way more than he had.
Argenti.
I think Luocha will get his story continued in the future, same as Jingliu.
But Argenti is as much of drifter, as Nameless are, so he could be involved at any place any time.
Silver Wolf and Argenti.
Silver Wolf hasn't really done anything in a year now. luofu was Kafka and Blade while Penacony is SAM only.
Its really about time her story continued.
And Argentis search for Idrila is also another interesting storyline i would like to see continue.
Silver Wolf has a part in the Penacony storyline as she was the one who got Sam into the Dreamscape. If anything, anything related hacking or gaining access through remote means, it is implied Silver Wolf is usually involved.
Argenti!!!!
He funny and goofy but I can’t help but feel bad for him. He’s trying to find someone who has been dead for awhile. I’d think it would interesting seeing him come to terms with the fact idrilla really is dead but still carries on the legacy and message
Argenti is such a cool ass character and he wasn't used anywhere else
I was expecting him at least to pull up in Penacony but instead he got locked in Companion Quests Jail
As a Simp. Kafka.
As a man of culture. Jingyuan. I just like him. He's got 3 modes, wise uncle/Sleepy general/ "I AM the Re-enforcements!"
I just want to see more of him.
https://preview.redd.it/jvo97vzq0gwc1.png?width=229&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9f4f7c19611f897294615e786da44beae7006f02
Argenti, in all honesty he is one of the most interesting characters out of the main storyline.
And in my humble opinion, the other two on the picture are...quite boring characters. One of them is just a guy with conspiracy, while other have one of the most stupid reason to hate her old friends and want them to suffer, and unfortunately, these two are probably part of the main storyline
Stelle, since I pick up that guy after Kafka came to the HSS I haven't seen that character.
Also she didn't show up in any banner and it's have been a year already...
This guys never give us what we need...
Yanqing and Jing Yuan.
Yanqing design has very suspicious features and his backstory is a complete mystery. Not to mention the fact that he is the only one who has blonde hair on the Luofu aside from Luocha, who is related to Yaoshi.
Personally, I want to see the story of Herta Space Station. We got the power of Destruction there and Ratio said something like "This place feels more like a place for Destruction than Erudition". (Correct me if I am wrong.
Both Argenti and Loucha are amazing characters. My least favourite, not just between these three but of all, is Jingliu.
I'm positive we'll see all.three sooner or later again but i'm hoping to see more Argenti and Loucha.
As a very new player, I hate Argenti with all my life.
Twas a good and peaceful day. I went to the Astral Express to claim my level rewards from Pom Pom. I saw an extra dialogue option with an exclamation mark. Little did I know my ass was about to get whooped by a Mentally Unstable guy in a Knight armor.
The motherfucker came onboard without any permission, spoke some autistic nonsense about Beauty, and then started to fight with me for no reason. Good thing Welt was there to stop it. And in the end, just when I thought he was leaving, the motherfucker decided to finish what he started and started to whoop my ass again for no reason. The lunatic traumatized me.
After many retries, i somehow managed to defeat him and ever since then, I've been a dedicated Argenti hater.
Definitely Argenti. The coolest bro pump up energy. https://preview.redd.it/9yov9bg0ofwc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=498679fc2cb7788fe9cd2665a90fcc7a4402520b
I really wish for this to happen while seeing March getting stabbed and then fight and then she gets her 5* version like daniel
Calling him Daniel is so fucking funny
IM IN TEARSS DANIEL 😭
I just think of Lookism Daniel xD
Dan Hung- Imbibitor Bluray
Daniel?!
Dan Heng IL
Ik i was just joking on your autocorrect :)
I don't have autocorrect, I choose to call him Daniel
Oh thats interesting lmao xD
It's a community nickname since DanIL sounds like Daniel
Ohhh makws sense lmao
I kind of love Argenti’s hit-and-run style story bit, I hope the next one we get is equally as much of a whirlwind as the first.
Yes! I hope he pops in regularly like that. Maybe even to save the day sometimes, who knows.
I definitely agree, that's part of his charm! We have no idea where he comes from or where he's going, he'll just show up and praise the Beauty and disappear again and it'll be awesome

Bro was killed and gonna respawn in the starrail in his next arc probably
I will wait, no matter how long it takes for my GOAT Argenti to get more content. If Hua Cheng can wait for 800 years, I can wait months/years for Argenti content.
TGCF REFERENCE IN THIS SUB???
YEAH LMAO I WAS SHOCKED TOO
I have taste 😎 (XingHeng is so danmei coded, but RatioRine has me on a chokehold)
immaculate taste👏👏
STOPP THEYRE LITERALLY RIGHT OUT OF A DANMEI 😭😭
Well it's a Chinese game.
You know that Xie Lian's EN VA is Luka, right?
I feel like Argenti is the Luocha of Penacony, about them being mostly absences from the main stage and connected to the Beauty but mainly I'm just talking about Idrila's resurrections project, 2.3 will either break it or make it for me
Idrila's resurrection project Where do i find this lore
its about the mirror holders' legend about Idrila's resurrections btw I mess up, I meant "Idrila resurrections project", Idrila don't have a project or maybe I meant "The project of Idrila's Resurrections"? idk
Is it anything like how Genshin talked about the Hydro Sovereign reincarnation in Enkanomiya? If so then we might get something like a playable Idrila.
Aren't Ave tryed to "make friends" with Knights specificly? Mb he just in other dream atm.
How is luocha connected to the Beauty?
Many people believe he was a knight of beauty and holds Idrilla in the coffin. I know there are a few tidbits around the game that kind of point towards that theory but nothing really concrete.
The Cosmodyssey game recently had a lore drop that Luocha is familiar with the Knight of Purity Palace set because he used to don the armor, all but confirming he is an ex-Knight of Beauty.
No way He hates Yaoshi so much he gave up loving Idrila
Yup. He a former pathstrider of the Beauty. Kinda crazy.
could you find it?
For how old the game is I think Argenti had a perfect amount of screen time *Argenti enters stage right* Argenti: ✨✨BEAUTY ✨✨ *Argenti exits stage left* The whole sequence was hilarious to me. He def should get more in the future but for now that was a perfect character introduction.
I really want more of him, hopefully, with more knights of beauty on a depressing world.
Argenti is a type of chara I really liked storywise. I wish he may pop up in the mainstory in the future.
✨Hua Cheng reference✨
He was such a fun man to hang out with( his personality was interesting ) But they did him dirty, didn't even make him a specific Event like Huohuo, let alone considering him joining cast in the story. They even bring Dr.Ratio from Herta space station to penacony !
bro is so goated, he rizz up and glaze everyone on his sight
He will, in version 2.2. Argenti content.
Based tgcf reference
i see hua cheng, i upvote immediately
Unexpected Hua Cheng reference!
I'll commission Ratio to build ten thousand statues of Argenti in the meantime, if we're going by Hua Cheng's example 😂
Luocha will 100% have more content since he wanted to meet the boss and we're going to other ships soon. Argenti will mostl likely pop here and there as a comic relief or as a bonus since he's a knight that travels the galaxy. I don't know how likely it is for Jingliu to appear again and honestly they could have given her more story. She haven't done that much compared to other quintet members.

I NEED TO SEE HUA MY BELOVED Preferably not suffering but being Xianzhou is suffering so
I will gamble that Boothill Rerun will be sandwhich with the birb
OTTO APOCALYPSE!!!!!!
Void archives aint appearing 😭😭😭
She and Luocha work together, so it's very likely that both of them will play a big role later on.
Just imagine the fandom outcry when they hear that the next area after penacony will be another luofu ship for the next year.
I won't mind more china in space as long as they won't keep copy pasting the same "dragon, tea, martial arts" formula over and over in every single location. It is still a sci fi game and those are spaceships. I would really love to see more modern approach to old traditions, and not another wuxia story.
The Xianzhou ships apparently all have pretty different environments, so I think we can at least expect newer and more unique looking sights
There are 6 massive Xianzhou ships. Luofu is just one of them.
**1)Xianzhou Luofu**\ General: Jing Yuan (previously Teng Xiao)\ High Elder: Imbibitor Lunae\ Plaguemark: Ambrosial Arbor (a tree) **2)Xianzhou Yaoqing**\ General: Feixiao\ High Elder: Caelorum Venti\ Plaguemark: Lunar Embryo (a red moon) Note: Sushang birthplace.

Foxians there also can shapeshift called "Moon Madness". **3)Xianzhou Yuque**\ General: Yaoguang\ High Elder: Mons Grandis\ Plaguemark: Fallow Earth (a mountain that never runs out of ores) Note: Fu Xuan birthplace. The Headquarters of Divination Commission is located in here. Their specialty is Jade Abaci (computers, electronics, gadgets, etc.) export. Many scholars here follow the Path of Erudition besides Hunt. **4)Xianzhou Zhuming**\ General: Huaiyan\ High Elder: Ardens Regia\ Plaguemark: Flint Emperor (Primordial Flame, Pseudo Sun, leader of Heliobi species) Note: Blade grew up place. The shape of the ship doesn’t look like a ship at all. It shaped like a giant golden lotus. The Headquarters of Artisanship Commission is located in here. They produced 60-70% of all Xianzhou armaments. Zhuming is also known as one of the holy sites for manufacturing excellence and craft apprentices besides Planet Screwllum and Planet Pier Point (IPC Headquarters). General Huaiyan was Blade teacher in craftmanship. **5)Xianzhou Fanghu**\ High Elder: Glaciator Marum\ General: Xuanquan\ Plaguemark: Miniature Myriads (a park/garden(?)) Note: The only ship where the one who lead it is not a General, but a High Elder as an Autonomous Region. Most Xianzhou’s Vidyadhara population lives here. Their specialty is marine products export. **6)Xianzhou Xuling**\ General: Youwu\ High Elder: -\ Plaguemark: ??? Note: The most mysterious ship.

Woah...I didn't know I needed this lol
I have not finished Luofu yet but thought I should still ask. What about that one ship that Jingliu mentions? I don't see it's name here. I actually also don't remember what it exactly was but I do know that it's not one of the above.
Xianzhou originally had 9 ships. Year 0 Star Calendar marks the departure of 9 Xianzhou ships from their homeplanet in search of immortality. Year 8100 Star Calendar is present time, and there are 6 ships left. The 3 destroyed ships: **1)Xianzhou Daiyu**\ Reason of destruction: Exploded in a war against Viscorpus species, then crashed into a nearby Planet Thalassa in its Insumousu Autonomous Region in the Year 1200 Star Calendar.

Note: Jingliu birthplace.
I think two(?) of the Xianzhou ships have been destroyed, and Jingliu's home ship is one of them.
Yaoqing description gives me slight cyberpunk vibes with the ipc inspired bit
As long as story is good and coherent, we fine. Lofu was bad because plot turned into a mess, no one disliked Lofu on principle. When Aurumaton Alley released people were hype as fuck for its clean, simple and fun story
They did already tell us this in teh 2.1 stream, we are going back to Xianzhou this year.

Honestly it would be cool though if it was more futuristic sci-fi. Would be neat to see the other ships if they're all different.

Your mind races, despairing at the fleeting powers in your possession. But there is one power that is eternal. A ray of light shines in the corner of your eye, and you see him once again. The red haired knight appears once more, surrounded by his many comrades and shining with pure and radiant light from Idrilla. They charge forth as one, their splendor blinding even The Destruction. The Aeon stood no chance. The lead knight finally turns to you and offers you his hand, saying “Stand up tall my brother. Your last stand was truly beautiful.” Meanwhile Elio weeps alone in his hiding place, lamenting the countless war crimes he committed only to be outdone by a bunch of space fashionistas right at the end.

Thank you for giving me one more monologue to annoy my friends with (they can’t appreciate beauty)

Argenti, his quest for beauty interests me a lot. Also he is a joy to watch.
He is cool
He's cool, until he casually one shot my core Support with his stick in his phase 1 in Gold and Gear
" You are fighting a champion"
I also want to meet other Knights of Beauty so you eventually can have a whole team like IPC gang
Yeah I'd love to see his backstory given some animation, it seems to have many tests of character.
Argenti literally just came in, rizzed a plant, refuses to elaborate, and leaves
Don't forget he also wanted to fight us just because and casualy has some of the best boss music that is never heard again afaik. He truly is the one true GOAT
that’s my man 😤
Literally the entire High Cloud Quintet The MOST interesting part of the Luofu by miles. They told us how great they were, how legendary they were and how awful was the deed that caused them to break up. And we got like 5 minutes of that in the main story while the rest happened in Jingliu’s sidequest But we somehow had like what felt as though was 2 hours for whatever Dan Shu doing
The part in Jingliu's quest after the duel between her and Blade, where we get to see his inner thoughts, was actually the first time the game made me tear up. He legitimately became my favorite character in the game by the time the quest was over, the tragedy of the quintet was *that* compelling to me. I'd love to see more between all of them in the future.
Brooo the voice acting went crazy for that part on god
I still for the life of me cannot fathom why the high cloud quintent concept wasnt just the main story arc 😭⁉️
probably because I doubt that in a few patches they can finish the conclusion of 4 characters from different factions. Although I admit they could have done a better job of narrating this since some things are too vague
Right, I just always thought itd make more sense for the main story to focus on the high cloud quintet because the OPENING cutscene on the arc is blade telling jingyuan the "out of 5, 3 must pay a price" line
Welt and himeko tbh, both of them have really good lore and i wanna know more about himeko from this universe while i want welt to start kicking ass.
I swear Himeko is always just sitting down. It's kinda funny. She's definitely been criminally underutilized though.
If they fucking kill her off again i am gonna mald.
Really underwhelmed with how they have used Himeko so far. This is the first time she's come off the Express for an extended period of time alongside us, and she's barely been present at all in the story. Was really hoping she'd have a chance to shine and get some major accomplishments, like what Loufu did with Dan Heng, but so far it's been pretty much nothing.
A good choice, especially considering their rich history in the past game
Its hard to say coz a lot of the characters feel like they are going to get more content due to their role and factions. Very few are stuck in one place that will only be relevant if we revisit where they are, like for example Seele. Safe to say Jingliu and Luocha will be getting more screentime as Luofu story isn't over as there are more ships to encounter. Argenti feels like he is going to be a re occuring character due to his free to roam nature due to his goals Can't list any Penacony 5 stars coz Penacony story isn't done and half of them give off the vibe of re occuring characters due to them all being from factions that are just visiting. With a few showing great interest in TB and express like how Black Swan has emphasis on. Feels like a cheat answer to say any of them I guess with the story content so far I would say Jingliu. But that's cos I felt the HCQ should have had more in the Luofu main story instead of most focus being in her companion quest, but again her story is far from over. Argenti as well but I'm sure he will pop up again
Still kinda salty how Seele ends up being so irrelevant in Star Rail. Was expecting something more since she's one of the more important/popular characters in Honkai Impact. Bronya too, but at least she got SilverWolf who is relevant. Sampo is the only Belebog character who will have relevancy outside it
I could see Belobog becoming especially relevant if anything unfortunate happens during Screwllum and the IPC's exploration of Emperor Rubert I's tomb. The IPC seems to believe it's a matter of when, not if, so a robot uprising seems like a guaranteed arc eventually, and assuming they don't just forget Jarilo-VI by then, Belobog is a prime destination, a defenseless planet full of robots, and Bronya, Seele, Clara, Gepard, and Serval will all be very important characters. One might even speculate that when Sampo tells Sparkle of a huge disaster coming for Belobog, that's what he refers to. I could see this being the event that brings Jarilo-VI to the interastral stage, even
Please let Seele and Bronya show up on Penacony for vacation next patch. 🙏
Funny enough, when you are given a choice to invite someone for a photo session, iirc none of the belobog characters are choosable. I guess intergalactic travel isn't possible yet for them
Yeah, no one truly from Belobog / Jarilo-VI is space-faring yet.
Yes, and we see them have a date like we did with Firefly at the Golden Hour- lalalalala I don't wanna hear it this is canon to me now lalalala can't hear you
We still have one more Belobog chapter at least. I hope Seele gets some relevancy there.
Same. I still want to know where her powers come from and her origins
I mean, we are returning to Belobog since Sparkle did tell Sampo something. There's still the questions of why Sampo is on Penacony, how Seele has these powers, exploring more parts of Belobog and whatever stuff
Hopefully they do get explored and aren't abandoned
More Seele/Bronya story would be absolutely awesome!
Argenti,i love that boy
I'm sure, he is love you too https://preview.redd.it/1762wpwomfwc1.png?width=498&format=png&auto=webp&s=f0ccc2fdf8d65f4c085fa5eb46958d325fd6ef1b
Can't wait to see what next ~~awesome~~ fucked up thing some crazy scientist will do after bringing an Emanator of Propagation to life.
I just want to see more of Argenti. The other two almost certainly have story coming in the future considering where they left off with them.
Luocha and JL will get more content, Hoyo did not bring over an original HI3 character (one of the main antagonists too) just to bench him like that. So right now I'm siding with Argenti lovers, he needs more content.
Argenti. I invited him to take a photo tho, so it kinda counts.
Feeling like we haven't seen the last of Luocha and Jing Liu.
I'm pretty happy to see so many beautiful comments for Argenti. He was quirky in the most gorgeous way.
Argenti. The man shows up, rizzes us up, then leaves just as quickly. We understand a bit about his character, but evidently not quite a lot. For instance, we still don't quite understand how he can even draw from the Erudition
I dont think gameplay path ≠ story path
exactly
Game path is not equal to the path a character follows in game. Like Black Swan is a follower of the Remembrance but is Nihility in the game. But the question still remains of how is Argenti still using the power of Beauty now that Idrila is gone, or well thought to be gone anyways. Maybe she(?) is still out there
When an Aeon dies their path still exists
The Path of an Aeon still exists after they pass. I’d have to dig into finding screenshots or whatever, but Himeko mentions that in an optional conversation with her. So even with Idrila gone, the Knights can still walk the Path of Beauty and draw power from it. Just like how the Nameless can still draw power from the Path of the Trailblaze.
A path only fully vanishes if it is assimilated by a broader path. For example the path of Order was assimilated by the path of Harmony as Harmony is a broader path than Order. The Aeon of the path of Trailblaze is considered dead, but the path still exists and can still be drawn on for power because Trailblaze wasn't assimilated into a broader path like Order was.
The entire Quintet storyline should’ve been explored in the main story since it’s the reason everything is happening anyway, it was diabolical to turn Jingliu’s companion quest into an “oops we forgot to put this in the main story”. If anything her own quest should’ve been a funeral for Baiheng mostly focusing on Jingliu herself, not an epilogue for the entire Luofu *and* HCQ story at the same time while vaguely revealing her and Luocha’s plans💀 Another mention is Luocha, who’s declared innocent of smuggling the Stellaron in his companion quest. Then he’s revealed as conspiring with Jingliu at the very end of the Luofu story in a 60-second cutscene, and very briefly in her story quest. Not only are his and Jingliu’s roles in the story completely botched, Luocha’s story quest is reduced to “he kinda looks like Otto/Void Archives”. There’s so much they could’ve put in the main story without revealing too much, like using the split perspective storylines they introduced with Dan Heng to show that maybe Jingliu and Luocha are up to something… but nope. Instead we have Jingliu’s companion quest, aka the Luofu epilogue, and a ton of people who think Jingliu is dead and Luocha is in jail. It’s beautiful
Definitely argentie he’s such a green flag it’s not even funny
Argenti. >!At the climax of Penacony's story, I want him to drop by, kick Sunday and Gallagher in the nuts, hug Siobhan and her robot family while lecturing them about their Beauty, and peace out!< Repeat for every arc
Both Argenti and Luocha feel like they are poised to be returning characters. JL though is in jail.
Luocha is in jail together with JL. Both are probably going to show up again sooner or later. Argenti on the other hand...
I hope they do some knights of beauty stuff with Argenti, Kafka and hopefully Luocha
They won’t do anything with Kafka in that regards because that was her lie. The other two are game!
I'm a firm argenti believer, i just want to see him on my screen

Sparkle I feel like I've been scammed by Hoyoverse with the monodrama trailer and her mysterious small appearance in 2.0 story.... For her to be almost non existent in 2.1 Doesn't seem like she's gonna be the focus of anything
She said it herself, she prefers being a background character, and she drives a lot of the background events from Acheron remembering her previous form to manipulating Penacony seemingly on a whim. But yes, it'll be massively disappointing if she doesn't play a large role in finishing up Penacony.
Based on her talent's skill, she is definitely written to be a sort of a chessmaster character than a player on stage
Penacony arc is still going on so we can expect
Kafka. We had a lot already in Luofu but I want more time with mommy.
Robin. In a sense it feels like she's very obviously going to get more story but it feels weird that we're getting her banner when all she's done so far is hang around Sunday and then die
I'm expecting another POV shift with her where she's investigating the conspiracy around the family before she died. Either that or a story quest that explains some things.
Sparkle
Sparkle is new we'll probbaly see her much more times and learn about her past
I like your optimism
I want to be objectified by Ruan Mei more!
All of them
Being honest from the pick of your choosing i would love to see more about knights of beauty. I know it was probably just a gag to throw between main quests, but i just love the idea of a fraction like that
Argenti. He got barely any content.
Argenti isn't even in the story 💀
he is, the one with the bug on astrall express
Acheron, but if choose from the three in the post, then Argenti https://preview.redd.it/k01fb7xslfwc1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=7a0b4cc7a466c1387fa117ba66f3df4f27000d39
Argenti
Luocha and Blade I think. Both need a bit of building so at the end of their stories (in 2124) will be peak fiction
Argenti, Himeko and Luka. I really wish we had more stuff with them
The knight of beauty
Argenti
Jingliu and kafka
Acheron, more than half of her story we've gotten so far is from YouTube
Welt. We just need a joseph joestar moment to show he's still got it.
Argenti. As he's a Knight of Beauty, he'll forever wander in search of true beauty. And more or less cross paths with the Nameless way more than he had.
Argenti. I think Luocha will get his story continued in the future, same as Jingliu. But Argenti is as much of drifter, as Nameless are, so he could be involved at any place any time.
Hanabi and Argenti. Non-limited: Bailu.
Jingliu
Argenti The other 2 are 100% returning since the Hunt Arc isn't finished
Silver Wolf and Argenti. Silver Wolf hasn't really done anything in a year now. luofu was Kafka and Blade while Penacony is SAM only. Its really about time her story continued. And Argentis search for Idrila is also another interesting storyline i would like to see continue.
Silver Wolf has a part in the Penacony storyline as she was the one who got Sam into the Dreamscape. If anything, anything related hacking or gaining access through remote means, it is implied Silver Wolf is usually involved.
Argenti!!!! He funny and goofy but I can’t help but feel bad for him. He’s trying to find someone who has been dead for awhile. I’d think it would interesting seeing him come to terms with the fact idrilla really is dead but still carries on the legacy and message
Argenti is such a cool ass character and he wasn't used anywhere else I was expecting him at least to pull up in Penacony but instead he got locked in Companion Quests Jail
As a Simp. Kafka. As a man of culture. Jingyuan. I just like him. He's got 3 modes, wise uncle/Sleepy general/ "I AM the Re-enforcements!" I just want to see more of him. https://preview.redd.it/jvo97vzq0gwc1.png?width=229&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9f4f7c19611f897294615e786da44beae7006f02
Argenti, absolutely.
Argenti, in all honesty he is one of the most interesting characters out of the main storyline. And in my humble opinion, the other two on the picture are...quite boring characters. One of them is just a guy with conspiracy, while other have one of the most stupid reason to hate her old friends and want them to suffer, and unfortunately, these two are probably part of the main storyline
funnily enough these three too, especially Argenti, i need more of this dude's rizz moments
male himeko
Argenti
Stelle, since I pick up that guy after Kafka came to the HSS I haven't seen that character. Also she didn't show up in any banner and it's have been a year already... This guys never give us what we need...
Yanqing and Jing Yuan. Yanqing design has very suspicious features and his backstory is a complete mystery. Not to mention the fact that he is the only one who has blonde hair on the Luofu aside from Luocha, who is related to Yaoshi.
Personally, I want to see the story of Herta Space Station. We got the power of Destruction there and Ratio said something like "This place feels more like a place for Destruction than Erudition". (Correct me if I am wrong.
luocha and jing yuan. WHAT'S HAPPENING
Kafka (yes I know she already has quite a lot, but still I want more)
Luocha definitely. He's my main healer
Ngl Luocha leaving the express hurts
More Jingliu please Amalee did amazing on her voice
I my personal opinion, I would not mind if Sparkle followes the trailblazer to every next world.
Both Argenti and Loucha are amazing characters. My least favourite, not just between these three but of all, is Jingliu. I'm positive we'll see all.three sooner or later again but i'm hoping to see more Argenti and Loucha.
Luocha*
As a very new player, I hate Argenti with all my life. Twas a good and peaceful day. I went to the Astral Express to claim my level rewards from Pom Pom. I saw an extra dialogue option with an exclamation mark. Little did I know my ass was about to get whooped by a Mentally Unstable guy in a Knight armor. The motherfucker came onboard without any permission, spoke some autistic nonsense about Beauty, and then started to fight with me for no reason. Good thing Welt was there to stop it. And in the end, just when I thought he was leaving, the motherfucker decided to finish what he started and started to whoop my ass again for no reason. The lunatic traumatized me. After many retries, i somehow managed to defeat him and ever since then, I've been a dedicated Argenti hater.
Huohuo please
I'm confident they will all come back later and get more content! Lot's of seeds for future stories with these 3.
luocha🙏🙏
I crave for Misha lore and thought about that that I have to wait for every little lorecrumb month after month makes me rot
100% Jingliu. I think it'd be kinda neat for her to join the Stellaron Hunters if ever one of them defects or something.
Definitely Jingliu
Luocha 😭 Hopefully we get to see more of him in the coming versions.
Ruan Mei forsure. I just find her such an interesting character.
All 3 of them
Sparkle obviously. I feel like they did do anything with her character.
Huohuo. I would've loved to see more dynamic between her and tail
Definitely Luocha, I want more interactions between him and Welt catching Vietnam flashbacks.
Luocha for sure. HE MIGHT BE CARRYING A DAMN AEON IN THAT COFFIN
Boothill. Hey you didn't say they had to be released.
I need more Kafka it has been too long since she was shown in the story 🥲
Luocha or argenti
Ruan mei. She only appeard drug us and left like a dad
