New Pet System in version 2.5
If you engage in Luminary Wardance activities, you’ll have the chance to earn the adorable pet “Tuskpir” as your companion. With the Honkai: Star Rail 2.5 update, a new pet system is introduced, featuring Tuskpir, a small, tapir-like creature with pink fur and wind-like features. You’ll see Tuskpir follow you around and enjoy some charming idle animations.
