A recent leak suggests that Dan Heng may receive a new form and Path in Honkai Star Rail. The information comes from Tieba Uncle Hellgirl, a known third-party source, and was later shared by @hxg_diluc on X. If true, this could mark a major shift in the game’s character lineup.
Dan Heng’s Rumored Transformation
Apparently, Dan Heng may take the Preservation Path and use the Fire element in his next iteration. However, that is just a rumor and thus not reliable. Honkai Star Rail does not have that many Preservation characters, but a new unit would be needed by HoYoverse to create a balanced team.

The speculation also states that Dan Heng's new form might be a meta-defining character. Other releases such as Harmony Trailblazer and Hunt March 7th have created a buzz upon their release. If Dan Heng is to be followed in the same way, his skills might change the team compositions in the future battles.
Potential Release and Availability
There is little information on the specifics of his kit, but the leak hints at a 5-star rarity. If accurate, this would mean his new form might be featured in a limited-time banner, similar to his Imbibitor Lunae form. Players may need to spend Passes to obtain him.

Since multiple patches have passed since Dan Heng’s last transformation, HoYoverse may be planning a fresh take on the character. However, given the uncertainty surrounding the leak, players should approach this information with caution. If confirmed, Dan Heng’s new form could add an exciting dynamic to the game.
