The next big update of Honkai Star Rail is just around the corner, and one of the first two Penacony characters in 2.0 will be Black Swan! If you plan on adding her to your account, check out all the materials she needs in order to be maxed out!
Black Swan is a really special character to many Honkai Star Rail players! She has been around since the launch of the game and many of us probably still remember, how she first introduced us to the Aeons of the Star Rail universe.
It took HoYoverse a full year until they were finally ready to give us the mysterious Black Swan as a playable character and in a just a few more weeks, she will be up on the first banner of version 2.0! If you plan on pulling for her, you should definitely check out the following guide to her ascension materials!
Honkai Star Rail: Black Swan Farming Guide
The most important thing to know about Black Swan is that she is a Memokeeper. Enigmatic Memokeepers live in the Garden of Recollection, which is a very special realm in the world of Honkai Star Rail and no normal, mortal being can enter this place. This is also why the appearance of Black Swan, as we can see her right now, is not her true nor only form.
Memokeepers like to adapt to their environment in order to become part of the society whose memories they preserve. In order to do so, Memokeepers shed their mortal flesh and live on as memetic entities. With this unique gift, they can freely traverse between worlds.
