Honkai Star Rail fans are eagerly anticipating the arrival of Jingliu, one of the highly anticipated 5-star characters set to make her debut in the game's upcoming 1.4 update. Jingliu, known as the former sword master of Xianzhou Luofu, has generated significant hype within the community for her Ice DPS abilities, offering both AoE and single-target damage options through the Destruction Path. 

In this article, we'll explore the release date of Jingliu, the countdown to her arrival, the 4-star characters accompanying her, and the signature Light Cone stats that make her a formidable addition to your roster.

Jingliu's Release Date and Countdown

The official release date for Jingliu in Honkai Star Rail 1.4 is set for 11 October 2023. Players around the world can mark this date on their calendars as the moment they can summon this Ice DPS powerhouse to join their teams.

For those eager to keep track of the countdown, the release time for Jingliu is 3 AM UTC on 11 October 2023. However, please note that there will be a maintenance period of five hours before her banner goes live, during which players will also receive 300 Stellar Jade.

Jingliu Banner 4-Stars and Light Cone

Jingliu's banner features an array of 4-star characters that players can summon. These characters are as follows:

• Tingyun (Lightning/Harmony)

• Qingque (Quantum/Erudition)

• Sampo (Wind/Nihility)

All of these characters have made appearances on multiple banners in the past, and they each bring their unique strengths to the table. Tingyun, known for her excellent support capabilities, is particularly noteworthy. She complements various DPS characters and can enhance Jingliu's performance in battles.

Jingliu's signature Light Cone, "I Shall Be My Own Sword," takes her capabilities to the next level. Equipping this gear increases her CRIT DMG by 32%. Additionally, she gains up to three stacks of Eclipse when an ally loses HP from any source. Each stack boosts her DMG by 24% and enables her to unleash an additional attack that bypasses 20% of the enemy's defense. This Light Cone makes Jingliu a fearsome force on the battlefield.

The arrival of Jingliu in the Honkai Star Rail 1.4 update has stirred excitement among players. Her unique abilities as an Ice DPS character, along with the 4-star units accompanying her in the banner, make her a compelling choice for both new and experienced players.
