HoYoverse consistently unveils exciting new characters and a variety of activities to enhance them, and the upcoming Honkai Star Rail 2.6 patch is no different. This anticipated update will bring a range of activities designed to provide players with essential level-up materials and Relic sets to strengthen their characters.

In this article, we will explore the new Stagnant Shadow and Cavern of Corrosion stages that will debut with the Honkai Star Rail 2.6 update.

New Stagnant Shadow and Cavern of Corrosion Stages Coming in Honkai Star Rail 2.6

Alongside the Honkai Star Rail 2.6 update, Trailblazers will gain access to two exciting new activities: the Cavern of Corrosion and Stagnant Shadow stages.

Here’s an overview of what players can expect from the Stagnant Shadow and Cavern of Corrosion stages:

Stagnant Shadow

The Honkai Star Rail 2.6 patch introduces a new stage, Stagnant Shadow: Shape of Timbre, accessible to all Trailblazers. Completing this stage, regardless of the difficulty level, rewards players with the “Chordal Mirage” ascension material.

This material is essential for ascending the upcoming Imaginary element characters, distinct from older ones like DHIL. Additionally, players should collect this material for Rappa upon her release, as it will be necessary alongside other materials to maximize her level.

Cavern of Corrosion

The Cavern of Corrosion stage will also feature the Path of Uncertainty, available with the Honkai Star Rail version 2.6 update. This stage will introduce two fresh Relic sets: Sacerdos’ Relived Ordeal and Scholar Lost in Erudition.

Here’s a breakdown of the unique attributes associated with these new Relic sets:

Scholar Lost in Erudition

• 2-piece set bonus: Increases the wielder’s CRIT Rate by 8%.
• 4-piece set bonus: Grants a 20% damage increase to the wielder’s ultimate and skill. Additionally, the damage of their next skill will receive a 25% boost shortly after using their ultimate.

Sacerdos’ Relived Ordeal

• 2-piece set bonus: Enhances the wielder’s speed (SPD) by 6%.
• 4-piece set bonus: Following the use of a skill or ultimate on an allied character, the ally’s CRIT DMG is boosted by 18% for two turns. This can stack up to twice, offering a total of 36% increase.
