Acheron in Honkai Star Rail: Leaks, abilities & more

Another Honkai Star Rail character has leaked ahead of their banner debut. Here’s everything we know about Acheron.

Honkai Star Rail leaks reveal information about upcoming characters that may not appear for many months. For example, players have learned more about Sakura and Aventurine before they can pull for them on banners.

Acheron is a 5-star Lightning character on the Path of The Nihility. Therefore, she could work well alongside units like Kafka and Luka.

Despite the lack of information surrounding Acheron’s kit, we have listed everything that has leaked before her debut.

No, there is currently no release date for Acheron. However, she is expected to launch alongside version 2.1.

Acheron abilities in Honkai Star Rail

A Honkai Star Rail leaker has posted information about Acheron’s abilities in the game’s subreddit. Like always, these are subject to change once Honkai Star Rail officially confirms them.

  • Basic Attack – Trilateral Wiltcross: Gains 1 point of Slashed Dream. Then inflicts 1 stack of Crimson Knot on a single target enemy and deals Lightning DMG equal to 50% of Acheron’s ATK to them.
  • Skill – Octoboly Flash: Gains 2 points of Slashed Dream. Inflicts 2 stacks of Crimson Knot on a single target enemy and deals Lightning DMG equal to 80% of Acheron’s ATK to them, as well as Lightning DMG equal to 30% of Acheron’s ATK to adjacent targets.
  • Ultimate – Slashed Dream Cries in Red: Triggers Rainblade, dealing Lightning DMG equal to 14.4% of Acheron’s ATK to a single target enemy and removing up to 3 stacks of Crimson Knot from the target enemy. When Crimson Knot is removed, immediately deal 1 instance of Lightning DMG equal to 9.0% of Acheron’s ATK to all enemies.
    • Each stack of Crimson Knot removed will increase the DMG multiplier by an additional 9.0%. Rainblade can be activated 3 times, which then immediately activates Stygian Resurge, dealing Lightning DMG equal to 39% of Acheron’s ATK to all enemies and removing all Crimson Knots. During the Ultimate, Crimson Knot cannot be inflicted on enemies.
  • Talent – Atop Rainleaf Hangs Oneness: When Slashed Dream reaches 9 points, the Ultimate can be unleashed. The Ultimate ignores Weakness Types and depletes enemies’ Toughness, as well as reducing all enemies’ All-Type RES by 10% until the end of the Ultimate. When any character uses their ability to inflict debuffs on an enemy target, Acheron gains 1 point of Slashed Dream and inflicts Crimson Knot on the enemy target.
    • This effect can be triggered up to 1 time per action. If the ability inflicts debuff on multiple enemies, Crimson Knot will be inflicted on the enemy with the most Crimson Knot stacks. When Acheron is on the battlefield, Crimson Knot on the defeated enemy target will be retargeted to the enemy target with the most Crimson Knot stacks.
  • Technique – Quadrivalent Ascendance: Immediately attacks the enemy. After entering battle, Acheron gains 2 point(s) of Slashed Dream and deals Lightning DMG equal to 80% of Acheron’s ATK to all enemies, as well as inflicting 2 stack(s) of Crimson Knot on a single random enemy. If the enemy has Red Karma, they will be immediately defeated and will not enter combat. The Technique Point is not spent if the attack does not hit an enemy.

Passives

  • Red Ogre: At the start of battle, immediately gain 4 point(s) of Slashed Dream and apply 4 stack(s) of Crimson Knot to a random enemy.
  • The Abyss: When there are 1/2 other character(s) following the Path of Nihility in the team, increase the DMG of Acheron’s Basic ATK, Skill, and Ultimate to 115%/160% of the original DMG.
  • Thunder Core: When the Ultimate’s Rainblade hits an enemy target with Crimson Knot, increase the DMG dealt by Acheron by 30%. This effect can be stacked up to 3 times, lasting for 2 turns.
