Honkai: Star Rail has just unveiled the second featured character for the Version 1.5 update, introducing Argenti from the Knights of Beauty. With the Version 1.4 details to be shared during Friday’s Special Program, the developer, HoYoverse, is already teasing what’s in store for the next update. After introducing Huohuo earlier this week, Argenti is now confirmed as the second new character arriving in November.
We don’t have much information about Argenti’s role in Honkai: Star Rail yet, except for some leaks. People have been talking about Argenti’s arrival in Version 1.5 for a while, with leaks hinting at his playability.
There are even rumors that players might face off against Argenti as an in-game boss, like Yanqing and Kafka before. The latest reveal from Honkai: Star Rail suggests that we won’t have to wait too long to recruit Argenti to our teams.
Honkai: Star Rail’s official social media accounts have just revealed that Argenti will be the second playable five-star character in Version 1.5.

Argenti is part of the ‘Knights of Beauty,’ a knightly order that reveres the fallen Aeon Idrila. He’s depicted wearing a lavish suit of armor with red and gold details, and his bio emphasizes his proper and devout approach to combat. Argenti is slated to join the game in the second half of Honkai: Star Rail’s Version 1.5 update.
Argenti’s reveal post hints at how the knightly character will fit into Honkai: Star Rail team comps. He’s confirmed to debut as a Physical element character in the Erudition Path, focusing on dealing heavy AoE damage.
Argenti will be the first character with this element and Path combination, addressing the lack of area damage among Physical characters. However, specific details about his gameplay and kit in Honkai: Star Rail are still under wraps.
In Version 1.5 of Honkai: Star Rail, Argenti’s arrival follows several exciting additions to the game’s roster. Version 1.3 introduced Imbibitor Lunae as an alternate version of the starter character Dan Heng and the Master Diviner Fu Xuan from Xianzhou Luofu.
Version 1.4 is expected to bring new characters like Topaz and the highly-anticipated Jingliu. Argenti aims to be a valuable choice for players building Physical teams, offering an effective AoE option in Honkai: Star Rail.
