Honkai: Star Rail 3.5 leak teases Hysilens, Cerydra, and fan-favorite reruns
(Image via miHoYo) A fresh leak from the Honkai: Star Rail community has stirred buzz around the upcoming Version 3.5 update. With the Amphoreus storyline reaching a fever pitch, fans are already speculating on which 5-star units will steal the spotlight. Early info hints at both brand-new characters and powerful reruns, setting the stage for one of the game's most anticipated updates yet. New Arrivals: Hysilens and Cerydra Step Into the Light Version 3.5 is rumored to introduce two new 5-star characters: Hysilens and Cerydra. Hysilens is reportedly a Physical Nihility unit, bringing disruptive debuffs and likely some nasty DoT potential. Early whispers suggest she might synergize heavily with existing Nihility mains. Cerydra, on the other hand, is rumored to be a Wind Harmony character. And here's the exciting part: she allegedly boosts RES-PEN, a rare and powerful effect that could turn many team comps into absolute nukes. If true, she may shift the meta more than expected. E1 HYSILENS FOR FREE?! | HUGE HYSILENS BUFF & CERYDRA'S KIT STILL MID - HSR 3.5 LEAKS Fan-Favorite Reruns: Kafka and Silver Wolf Return? The same leak claims we're getting two heavy hitters back: Kafka and Silver Wolf. According to insider info: Phase 1: Hysilens + Kafka Phase 2: Cerydra + Silver Wolf Kafka has already received some subtle buffs in recent updates, so pairing her with Hysilens could be an intentional play by HoYoverse to revive DoT-heavy Nihility teams. Meanwhile, Silver Wolf's utility as a Quantum Nihility unit is still unmatched. Pairing her with Cerydra could unleash some insane debuff/res-pen synergy. Community Reactions: Mixed But Curious The response so far? Divided. While many are hyped about Hysilens and the return of Silver Wolf, some fans were hoping for reruns of Rappa, Black Swan, or Mydei. Others are already planning to skip these banners entirely to save for rumored characters like Terravox or the long-awaited 5-star March 7th. Still, if this leak holds, the synergy between the banners looks calculated. Double Nihility in Phase 1, and debuff/res-pen layering in Phase 2 is a tempting combo for meta-focused players. What's Next: Waiting on the Special Program Stream As always, nothing's confirmed until HoYoverse says it is. The developer is expected to reveal the official banner lineup in the next Special Program stream, likely just weeks away. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!

4 best characters for Why Does the Ocean Sing in Honkai Star Rail
(Image via miHoYo) Why Does the Ocean Sing is shaping up to be one of the most exciting Nihility Light Cones in Honkai Star Rail, rumored to be Hysilens' signature weapon. With a huge Effect Hit Rate boost and a game-changing debuff mechanic called Enthrallment, this Light Cone can amplify Damage-over-Time (DoT) builds like never before. So, who are the best characters to equip it with? Here's what the leaks suggest. 1. Hysilens – The Obvious Perfect Fit No surprises here. Why Does the Ocean Sing was practically made for Hysilens. Her entire kit revolves around stacking debuffs and triggering DoT effects through her Basic Attack, Skill, and Ultimate. With the Light Cone boosting her Effect Hit Rate by 40%, she can easily trigger Enthrallment, stacking DoT amplifiers like clockwork. Pair that with the SPD buff allies get when attacking an Enthralled enemy, and Hysilens becomes a total battlefield manipulator. He's fast, dangerous, and nearly impossible to ignore. 2. Jiaoqiu – DoT Support With Serious Bite Jiaoqiu isn't just a sidekick anymore. This limited-time 5-star Nihility unit thrives in teams built around Acheron and other DoT-focused characters. He's great at stacking debuffs but can sometimes struggle with landing them consistently. Why Does the Ocean Sing fixes that problem. With a 40% Effect Hit Rate bonus and the added Enthrallment effect, Jiaoqiu's debuffs land smoother, hit harder, and amplify overall DoT output. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo It turns him from a background support into a more central damage contributor. 3. Black Swan – Arcana Queen Gets an Upgrade Black Swan, the queen of Arcana stacks, benefits massively from the stats this Light Cone brings. She needs to hit 120% Effect Hit Rate to reliably trigger Arcana on enemies with 30% Effect RES. The 40% boost from Why Does the Ocean Sing gets her much closer to that mark without relying solely on relic stats. On top of that, the SPD bonus when allies hit Enthralled targets means she cycles through her turns faster and leads to more AoE mayhem. 4. Guinaifen – A 4-Star Surprise Contender Leaked tests suggest Why Does the Ocean Sing might also work surprisingly well on Guinaifen. Though she's a 4-star, her kit centers around stacking burns and debuffs with high frequency. This Light Cone lets her stick her burns more reliably while triggering the Enthrallment effect to pump up DoT multipliers. While Why Does the Ocean Sing is clearly tailor-made for Hysilens, it's not limited to her. Characters who thrive on debuffs, stackable DoT, and Effect Hit Rate bonuses stand to gain the most.
