Honkai Star Rail V3.0 New Characters

The Herta

The Herta is an Ice-Type Erudition character that is skilled at AoE DMG. In battle, she can apply Interpretation on enemies, and ally character’s attacks can also further apply Interpretation. With the increase of Interpretation stacks, The Herta’s abilities can increase powerful hits of DMG based on their high Interpretation stacks on specific targets and multiple enemies besides.

Additionally, The Herta’s Ultimate can also transfer the highest Interpretation stacks to Elite or stronger enemies before dealing Ice DMG to all enemy targets.

Aglaea

Aglaea is the first limited 5-star Remembrance character and can summon her memosprite Garmentmaker in battle to fight alongside her to demonstrate a duet dance aesthetic in combat.

Additionally, Aglaea and her Garmentmaker can synchronize attacks on enemies. This new joint attacking mechanism not only increases the Garmentmaker’s SPD, but also adds a new layer of rhythm and variability to combat, allowing an exquisite dance for two to unfold at a charming cadence.

In the first half of Honkai Star Rail Version 3.0, a special Warp event will take place where Limited 5-star characters Lingsha, Feixiao, and Jade will be making reruns. In the second half, the 5-star characters Boothill, Robin, and Silver Wolf will also be making a limited return.
