Summary
- Honkai: Star Rail leak reveals more about Phainon, Saber, and Archer.
- Destruction, Destruction, and The Hunt paths are rumored for Phainon, Saber, and Archer in the game.
A Honkai: Star Rail leak revealed potential key information about upcoming playable characters Phainon, Saber, and Archer. As Honkai: Star Rail's Amphoreus arc progresses, the game is slowly introducing the Chrysos Heirs and the Titans, as well as uncovering the truth behind the world's prophesied destruction.
Apart from its rich Amphoreus lore, Honkai: Star Rail is also focusing on releasing one of its biggest collaborations with Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works. Although HoYoverse hasn't officially revealed the release date, rumors suggest that the Fate/Stay Night crossover might come out in Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.4. Additionally, the update is said to feature Phainon and Fate characters Saber and Archer in the limited-time banner.
Honkai: Star Rail Leak Reveals Free 4-Star Character for Version 3.3
A recent Honkai: Star Rail leak hints at a potential free 4-star character of choice as a reward for a returning event in Version 3.3.
In a report by Sakura Haven, the next three 5-star Honkai: Star Rail characters will allegedly be Destruction, Destruction, and The Hunt. The leaker believes that these will be the Paths that Phainon, Saber, and Archer might follow respectively. They also referenced previous Honkai: Star Rail leaks claiming that all three characters will release as 5-stars.
Rumored Paths Give More Insight to Future Honkai: Star Rail Characters
Honkai: Star Rail's Destruction characters are usually heavy damage dealers that also focus on durability so they can tank incoming damage. It's already been teased in Honkai: Star Rail's story that Phainon is a formidable swordsman, so it wouldn't be surprising for him to follow this Path. Likewise, Saber has a similar fighting style to Phainon, which would also make sense for her to be Destruction. As for The Hunt, characters following this Path usually deal single-unit damage, with a focus on CRIT stats, which could be a great match for Archer.
Many Honkai: Star Rail fans are looking forward to the Fate/Stay Night crossover, noting that the rumored characters would be a great addition to their teams. Meanwhile, a good number of fans are also speculating on the accompanying event, which could be Honkai: Star Rail's version of Fate/Stay Night's Holy Grail War that will be set in Amphoreus.
As the Honkai: Star Rail x Fate/Stay Night draws near, many fans hope that Saber and Archer won't be subpar like Aloy in Genshin Impact. A mistake that Genshin Impact made was not giving Aloy her own Constellations, making her unplayable beyond the special Horizon Zero Dawn crossover. It would be smart for Honkai: Star Rail to give its Fate characters their own Eidolons for sustained playability even after the Fate/Stay Night event.
