In an exciting revelation for fans of Honkai: Star Rail, leaker Luna has shared insights about the forthcoming Version 3.3 character Hyacine, showcasing her complete skill set and abilities. This role-playing game from HoYoverse has captivated players with its diverse array of characters as it continues to expand the universe of Amphoreus. Previous updates introduced the first Remembrance characters like the Trailblazer and Aglaea, while more recent entries have seen characters like Tribbie bending conventional Path roles. Now, anticipation builds around Hyacine as she is set to join the roster.
Even before the anticipated release of Version 3.2, HoYoverse has begun teasing its next update lineup. In Version 3.3, players can look forward to the introduction of two fresh characters: Hyacine, embodying the Wind Remembrance Path, and Cipher, representing Quantum Nihility. Notably, Hyacine has already made a cameo in Version 3.1, appearing in the main storyline as well as the “Awooo Firm”event. Recent leaks offer an exciting first look at Hyacine’s gameplay mechanics in Honkai: Star Rail.
Insights into Hyacine’s Abilities
According to the leak from Luna, the details of Hyacine’s kit portray her as a formidable support character following her Version 3.3 rollout. Hyacine’s Normal Attack inflicts Wind damage based on her maximum HP, while her Skill not only restores an ally’s HP but also summons her memosprite, Ikako, equipped with health that is a percentage of Hyacine’s own. Her Ultimate ability provides a team-wide heal along with granting a special “Hatsune”buff that enhances the maximum health of allies in addition to healing them, contingent on Hyacine maintaining the buff. Furthermore, her Talent augments Ikako’s damage during healing actions.
- Normal Attack: Inflicts Wind DMG equivalent to a percentage of Hyacine’s Max HP.
- Skill: Restores HP for an ally and summons Ikako, with Max HP also based on Hyacine’s Max HP.
- Ultimate: Applies the Hatsune buff to Hyacine, enhances allies’ HP, and summons Ikako.
- Talent: Increases Ikako’s damage when healing is performed by Hyacine or Ikako.
- Trace 1: Guarantees that all of Ikako’s attacks are critical hits.
- Trace 2: Augments her Healing effect as Hyacine’s Speed surpasses 200, giving extra bonuses for each Speed point beyond that threshold.
- Trace 3: Enhances Hyacine’s Effect Resistance.
- Ikako Skill: Executes an AoE attack.
- Ikako Talent: When Hyacine’s HP falls below a certain threshold, Ikako consumes its HP to enable healing effects.
The leaked information emphasizes the unique buffs that Hyacine and Ikako benefit from through her specific Traces. The initial Trace provides significant advantages, ensuring Ikako’s attacks are always critical hits. Additionally, as Hyacine’s Speed increases beyond 200, her healing capabilities evolve further, while the other Traces bolster her allies’ resilience against negative effects. Notably, Ikako’s abilities include AoE attacks and a mechanism for healing allies while sacrificing its own health.
In addition to Hyacine, Version 3.3 will feature the arrival of Cipher, a five-star Quantum Nihility character expected to debut later in the update. Cipher is rumored to focus heavily on critical stats and additional damage techniques, relying on Damage Over Time (DoT) mechanics as a core component of her playstyle. This update promises to deliver a wealth of new experiences and characters for players when it goes live in May.
