Back when HoYoVerse announced the 3.6 Honkai: Star Rail update, it confirmed a Dan Heng Permansor Terrae five-star character alt would appear and be given away for free to all players. However, he wasn’t immediately available once the update dropped on September 24, 2025. The giveaway would start once his banner would launch on October 15, 2025. That is today, and he’s now free until the 4.0 update eventually appears.
This version of Dan Heng is a Physical Preservation type of character dedicated to protecting allies. His other two incarnations are more DPS-focused. The Wind Hunt four-star we all get for free is designed to deal major damage to one target. The Imbibitor Lunae Imaginary Destruction character prioritizes AOE attacks. His Terra-Omnibus provides a shield for all allies and makes one of them a “bondmate” that provides a shield and debuffs. His Ultimate is A Dragon’s Zenith Knows No Rue, and it damages enemies while shielding allies.
There are two new trailers that accompanied his launch. One is basically an ASMR video called “Dan Heng’s Exclusive Physiotherapy. You can watch that below.
There’s also a more cinematic trailer for him called “Home.”
Now, as usual, it is possible to upgrade Dan Heng Permansor Terrae by getting additional Eidolons for the free one we’re all getting in Honkai: Star Rail. These can be acquired via his banner, which is live now. His Warp is available until November 4, 2025. That includes the five-star version of him and the focus four-stars Hanya, Serval, and Sushang. The other five-star banner now is an Anaxa rerun one.
Honkai: Star Rail is available for the PS5, PC, and mobile devices, and the Dan Heng Permansor Terrae five-star character alt is available for free until 4.0.
