HoYoverse may be gearing as much as set Sunday and Tingyun – Fugue, whom I affectionately name Fugueyun or Deadyun (IYKYK), unfastened in Honkai Star Rail, however that hasn’t stopped them from teasing HSR 3.0’s characters already. First up was The Herta, a 5-star variant of the Herta puppet that’s been current at launch with a formidable hat and, surprisingly, the identical path and aspect as her 4-star model – Ice and Erudition. That’s thrilling.
Extra thrilling is Aglaea, a 5-star Dressmaster on Amphoreus, HSR 3.0’s latest planet. It’s the primary affirmation we’ve had of Amphoreus being subsequent in line. Oh, and Aglaea walks the trail of Remembrance. HoYoverse casually slipped that in Aglaea’s character artwork prefer it was no huge deal, only a regular factor to disclose on Twitter on a Tuesday night time. No official point out, no nothing. However Remembrance is unquestionably coming.
The extra perceptive amongst you most likely discover this info unsurprising. With as a lot consideration as HoYoverse began giving Erudition these days, together with teasing 5-star Herta within the earlier replace, I assumed Erudition could be the large factor on Amphoreus. Nonetheless, after a good friend jogged my memory of Black Swan’s position early in HSR 2.0 and the way distinguished Fuli and The Remembrance had been in these conversations, I spotted HoYoverse was really organising for this all alongside.
How Remembrance will play is anybody’s guess. In Herta’s Simulated Universe and its numerous iterations, Remembrance blessings are tied to the freeze impact and freeze-specific debuffs. Any Ice-aligned character can inflict freeze once they break an enemy, no matter path. Star Rail’s different paths are extra broadly outlined primarily based on playstyle – help with Concord, well being in Abundance, damage-over-time and debuffs with Nihility – which appears oddly particular for a whole path, to not point out odd on the whole for an Electrical character comparable to Aglaea.
In brief, count on one thing surprising that most likely shakes up the meta, maybe one thing to do with the summoned assist some Star Rail leakers have posted about for the previous few months.
Honkai Star Rail 3.0 ought to go dwell round Jan. 14, 2025. In the meantime, brush up in your Acheron and Aventurine data when you’re planning any pulls within the close to future, and seize some HSR codes when you want a couple of freebies.
