Honkai: Star Rail's roster of characters seems to be shaping up just as good or even better than Hoyoverse's other games, Genshin Impact and Honkai Impact 3rd. The latest update introduced 5-star character Blade the Stellaron Hunter, who's turned out to be a very well-liked and powerful character. The next 5-star character to appear on a limited-time banner is the Stellaron Hunter Kafka, who's introduced in the beginning of the game and was responsible for the "birth" of the Trailblazer. However, Honkai: Star Rail's following 5-star character is going to be someone special: Imbibitor Lunae, an alternate form of the Astral Express' Dan Heng.

According to the lore of Honkai: Star Rail, Imbibitor Lunae is the title of the Vidyadhara (a draconic race of people) High Elder of the Xianzhou Luofu. Dan Heng, one of the free characters players acquire in the beginning of the game, so happens to be the reincarnation of the previous Imbibitor Lunae, as revealed in the newest Trailblaze Mission in Honkai: Star Rail Version 1.2. Dan Heng's base form is a 4-star Wind character following the Path of The Hunt, but Imbibitor Lunae will be a 5-star Imaginary character following the Path of Destruction.

Imbibitor Lunae is a special character in Honkai: Star Rail because he's not an entirely new character. Imbibitor Lunae is an alternate form of an already existing character. Currently, the only other character to have alternate forms is the main character, the Trailblazer, who can freely switch between their Destruction (Physical) form or Preservation (Fire) form, allowing for two unique styles of combat and weapons. In Hoyoverse's other ongoing game, Genshin Impact, no characters have alternate forms aside from the Traveler, so Hoyoverse is trying do something different here.

Given the lore and potential story of Honkai: Star Rail, it wouldn't be surprising to witness Hoyoverse repeat a similar process of a 4-star character getting an alternate 5-star form. Although the game is still in its first year, there are plenty of characters yet to be added into the game, though there are already a few characters that could undergo a treatment similar to Dan Heng being Imbibitor Lunae. Three characters that could acquire different forms could include Herta, Sampo, and March 7th.
