Honkai Star Rail Leak, Version 3.5 Update, New Characters, Elements and More

With Honkai: Star Rail forging ahead in its post-Amphoreus state, new leaks have emerged—generating buzz in the community and laying the groundwork for a fascinating Version 3.5 update. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Following a dramatic crossover with Fate/Stay Night through 3.4, HoYoverse seems to be going all-in on character richness and elemental variety for its next expansion. Two New Faces: Hysilens and Cerydra As per reliable leaker Luna, Version 3.5 will highlight two much-speculated characters: Hysilens and Cerydra. Hysilens, a Physical Nihility agent, has been the topic of rumors for months. Pictured with a "maid-like" appearance, her model is said to resemble that of March 7th, suggesting a mix of grace and deadliness. With her status as a Physical Nihility character, Hysilens can potentially excel at debuffs and control effects—providing an uncommon combination not usually found in this Path. It would make her a tactical tool for those who want to break up enemy formations without using elemental damage. NEW UPDATE! CHARACTER BANNER ROADMAP FOR 3.4-3.8 ALONG WITH RERUNS - Honkai: Star Rail At the same time, Cerydra brings a new energy. As a Wind element and Harmony Path character, she is expected to take on an important support role. The Harmony Path is all about buffs and synergy for teams, meaning Cerydra is likely to be a utility wind-buffer like Bronya or Ruan Mei. Her visual look will reportedly take cues from Fu Xuan's "girl" model—meaning a young but authoritative figure. A New Generation of Units for a New Meta These characters show up at just the right time. Version 3.5 isn't just about fancy banners—it's part of HoYoverse's bigger plan to adjust old characters and refresh gameplay. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Version 3.4 already gave a boost to old favorites like Silver Wolf, Blade, Kafka, and Jingliu, breathing new life into them. If this keeps up, 3.5 might open up the meta even more by combining physical control (through Hysilens) and better teamwork (through Cerydra). We expect 3.5 to come out in August 2025, which fits with HoYoverse's usual six-week update schedule. Since there's no official word yet, fans are getting excited as the teaser campaigns should start soon. MASSIVE CHANGES! Updated Honkai: Star Rail Tier List - BEST 5 Star and 4 Star Characters! From Amphoreus to Penacony and Beyond Story-wise, adding Hysilens and Cerydra might mean a shift from Amphoreus' big myths to a focus on individual characters. With Amphoreus wrapping up its main stories in Version 3.3 and Penacony hosting the "Holy Grail War" crossover in 3.4, HoYoverse looks ready to start a new chapter in storytelling—maybe based on smaller, more personal conflicts. Leaks also suggest Firefly's getting a new outfit giving players more ways to customize along with new gameplay stuff.
