Gallagher joins the 4-star healer lineup in Honkai Star Rail 2.1

Gallagher was one of the many Penacony characters who were featured during the version 1.6 special program. He will be the upcoming Abundance unit with Fire as his element and will join the game's roster in the Honkai Star Rail 2.1 update.

While many of the community speculated about his rarity being 5-star, Hoyoverse surprisingly made him a 4-star healer who will join the Honkai Star Rail roster alongside Natasha and Lynx. The role's name may be Abundance, but it certainly lacks abundant individuals, and the addition of Gallagher might liven things up.

You can get an idea of how his kit works from a few statements from the official tweet:

"Making a drink is a sensory skill. In dreams, creating fizzy concoctions requires adding a bit of your mood. Heavier if you're troubled, a touch sweeter if you're in high spirits... It's not just about mixing beverages. It's about mixing the experiences of life."

He is a security officer for Penacony's Bloodhound Family with an interest in mixing various beverages. Much like Lynx, who uses her survival skills to heal teammates, Gallagher's hobby of being a mixologist might provide the team with sustenance by offering them the concoctions he crafts.

He will be the featured 4-star of the Honkai Star Rail 2.1 update, appearing alongside either Acheron (Nihility) or Aventurine (Preservation). He will be added to the permanent pool after version 2.1 ends.
