Summary
Honkai: Star Railfans are predicting the possible star levels of the Annihilation Gang based on one design detail in their character cards. TheAnnihilation Gang was introduced inHonkai: Star Rail’s recent trailer, which featured Duke Inferno and four new characters.
Honkai: Star RailVersion 2.0 is setting up many exciting updates once the Astral Express Crew arrives in Penacony. It already revealed many new characters, like five-star banner characters Black Swan and Sparkle, and four-star Misha, and a glimpse of the world’s many locations.Honkai: Star Rail’s latest Myriad Celestia trailer showcased the members of the Annihilation Gang, a villainous group that wants to annihilate the world to attract the gaze of Nanook, theAeon of Destruction.
There’s still no confirmation on whether the members of the Annihilation Gang will be playable or not, but Reddit user JeanKB theorized that the borders of their character cards might be a hint of their star levels. They pointed out thatDuke Inferno, Akash, Dubra, and Caterina’s cards all have golden borders, which could mean that they will be future five-star characters. Constance is the only one with a purple border on her card, which could signify that she will be a four-star unit.
ManyHonkai: Star Railfans agreed with JeanKB’s observation, but also said they don’t think Constance will be a four-star because she’s described as Duke Inferno’s “pride and joy.” Some predicted that Constance would probably be the final boss in Penacony, which could explain why she has a different-colored border compared to her fellow members. There are also theories that she will betray the Annihilation Gang because a dahlia, which is her codename, symbolizes betrayal and sadness.

Honkai: Star Rail’s trailers and cinematics usually tease future characters, which was the case for the likes of Black Swan andleaked character Feixiao. Duke Inferno was already leaked as a future playable character, so it’s likely that the rest of the Annihilation Gang will have their own banners in the next few updates.
What will be interesting, though, is seeing the role the Annihilation Gang will play inHonkai: Star Rail’s overall story. Many fans believe that the group will wreak more havoc than the Stellaron Hunters, so the Trailblazers might have some tough boss battles waiting for them in Penacony.
