Quick Enhance function

During the Version 2.0 update, Trailblazers can now select the Enhance to the Next Stage option which will rapidly enhance a Relic to specific levels where new random sub stats are gained. For example, you can upgrade a Relic from +0 enhancement to +3.

Discard Relic Function

With the Discard Relic function, Trailblazers will be able to mark useless Relics as soon as they obtain them. Marking relics will allow them to quickly salvage the ones they do not need!

Also, Version 2.0 will now allow Trailblazers to salvage 5-star Relics into Lost Gold Fragments. Do note that there is still the option to convert them into Relic Remains instead.

Relic Filter Function

The Filter function after Version 2.0 will now exclude stats that are not needed for a specific relic set. Also, when a relic set piece has been selected, the filter will only show sets and stats applicable to that set piece!

Recommendation Feature in the Works

The developers of Honkai: Star Rail also added a Relics set recommendation function in Version 2.0. This recommendation function will analyze the Relic usage of other Trailblazers and will then provide some guidance with Relic combinations.

Calyx-Related Updates

When Penacony and new characters come out, more upgrade materials will be added to Honkai: Star Rail. In Version 2.0 and subsequent updates, new Calyxes will be added to several places such as the Xianzhou Luofu and Penacony!

Additionally, materials like the Extinguished Core, which usually drop from non-elite enemies, will be available in Calyx (Golden) stages.

Fate's Atlas System

With the Fate's Atlas system, missions will be organized based on their timeline and locations. The system will be presented in the form of a tree diagram, making it easier for Trailblazers to view and access each mission and their unlock requirements.
