Honkai: Star Rail 3.0 banners – The Herta and Aglaea debut

The Herta is the creator behind the puppets we’ve interacted with as Herta until now. A member of the illustrious and dangerous Genius Society, she’s a strong damage dealer with attacks that hit several targets at once, though without the follow-up twist of her puppets. Instead, The Herta can stack certain effects on enemies to multiply her damage as the battle progresses and shift priorities to high-value targets, dealing more damage to such enemies as the field slims.

Jade

Jade is an interesting hybrid character, as she provides the wave-clearing abilities typical for the followers of The Erudition, but comes with a few support boons as well, such as increasing the SPD of an ally and making follow-up attacks to assist them – though everything comes at a price with her: In order to fully use her abilities, she consumes the HP of allied characters.

Feixiao

Feixiao is a powerful attacker with the ability to break enemies regardless of their Weakness Type. In addition, she’s able to launch follow-up attacks in various situations, enabling her to pressure an enemy relentlessly. Her Ultimate is not dependent on Energy, making her more reliable against enemy types that can reduce the team’s Energy gauge.

Lingsha

Lingsha can summon a familiar to the battlefield, which has its own spot in the turn order and will attack enemy targets with follow-up attacks. These moves not only deal damage, but heal every ally on the field as well as dispel one debuff from them – a powerful ability. In addition, Lingsha is helpful for Break teams thanks to a Break DMG buff included with her Ultimate. Do not be misled by her Path: She can deal enormous amounts of damage.

Natasha

Natasha is the game’s basic healer, which means that she can carry you through early content with ease, but falls off quickly after that.

Asta

Asta is a useful support character due to her offensive buffs for the team. She’s also fantastic at inflicting Weakness Break against enemies with Fire Weakness thanks to her attack dealing lots of instances of damage.

Moze

Moze can designate an enemy target as his prey and then continuously harry this foe with his follow-up attacks, dealing additional damage when his allies focus on the same enemy.

Honkai: Star Rail 3.0 banners: Phase 2

Phase 2 will begin on February 5, 2025, and run for three weeks from that point on. You’ll be able to get the following characters in this time period:

• Aglaea (5-Star, Remembrance, Lightning), Tingyun (4-Star, Harmony, Lightning), Hanya (4-Star, Harmony, Physical), Sushang (4-Star, Hunt, Physical)
• Robin (5-Star, Harmony, Physical), Boothill (5-Star, Hunt, Physical), Silver Wolf (5-Star, Nihility, Quantum), Tingyun (4-Star, Harmony, Lightning), Hanya (4-Star, Harmony, Physical), Sushang (4-Star, Hunt, Physical)
• Time Woven Into Gold (5-Star, Remembrance) and three 4-Star Light Cones.
• Flowing Nightglow (5-Star, Harmony), Sailing Towards a Second Life (5-Star, Hunt), Incessant Rain (5-Star, Nihility), and three 4-Star Light Cones.

Aglaea

Aglaea is the first limited character from the brand-new Path of The Remembrance. She can summon her Memosprite, Garmentmaker, to the battlefield and continuously heal it. Aglaea is able to perform Joint Attacks with her Memosprite and can benefit from its ability to gradually increase its SPD by inflicting a debuff on enemies.

Robin

Robin specializes in supporting follow-up attacks, enhancing their damage greatly – she is one of the most powerful support characters in the game for this reason alone. On top of that, she can advance the entire team’s actions forward, allowing for a massive wave of attacks.

Boothill

Boothill can force an enemy into a duel, taunting them and increasing the damage they receive from his attacks – on the other hand, Boothill also takes more damage from that enemy and less from everyone else. In a duel, Boothill locks onto a target until it’s destroyed and gets to use his Enhanced Attack. His Ultimate can also apply the Physical Weakness Type to an enemy, making it easier for him to break them.

Silver Wolf

Silver Wolf is able to inflict additional Weakness Types on enemies, making it easier for her team to break them – though this ability has lost some of its value with many modern characters either bringing their own Weakness Type infliction or ignoring them altogether. She still excels as a unit with reliable debuffs, though, weakening the offensive and defensive capabilities of foes with her attacks.

Tingyun

Tingyun is one of the most useful 4-Star supports in the game, a status she has maintained ever since version 1.0. Her main benefit is the ability to quickly charge up characters’ Ultimates and provide offensive buffs.

Hanya

Hanya is a support character who can restore Skill Points for the team as well as enhance their attacks against single targets.

Sushang

Sushang is a relentless attacker that concentrates on breaking and hunting down single targets. Though no match for 5-Star DPS characters, she can do a great job with the right support.

Version 3.0 will also make Trailblazer (Remembrance) available, though players won’t have to pull for this new form from the banners – as is tradition, they’ll be unlocked through gameplay.
