- Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.5 launches on August 13
- Hysilens joins the game to bring the archetype of points from the dead
- Cerydra is also in 3.5, as well as new stories, events and more
When I started playing Honkai: Star RailOne of the first teams that I assembled focused on the Dot archetype (Damage of Time). But in the past year, this composition has radically disgraced. But now we’re so back.
THE Honkai: Star Rail The update of version 3.5 – germinating “ before their death ” – will be launched on August 13, presenting a new history content, two new playable characters, a new card, a new boss and several new events.
The main culmination point, at least for me, is the introduction of Hysilens. As a five -star physical character according to the Nihility path, his kit seems ready to relaunch the archetype of points in difficulty.
Its kit includes an ability that generates an area in combat, which reduces the attack and defense of all enemies – but, more importantly, each point body on targets in the area triggers an additional point of it.
In addition, add that all its abilities have a chance to apply a random point effect to the targets and you can see why all the signs indicate that it is the savior of my favorite play style.
It remains to be seen that things are going on in practice, but I hope that its introduction to the game should at least go in a way to pick up the fortune of Dot and its pleasure companions like me.
Anyway, there is more than that happens in the update. The second half will add Ceydra to the game: a character of five -star wind elements which follows the path of harmony.
The developer Hoyovers has strongly relied on theme failures with this strategist and supporting the character. In addition to polishing the damage of your team in various ways, its main gadget is the possibility of reproducing the skills of an ally after having strengthened enough charges. Naturally, players want to associate it with Phainon, but there is clearly a lot of experimentation potential in other team compositions based on skills.
The banners to be referenced for 3.5 have also been confirmed: the first half will feature Kafka and Silver Wolf will return in the second half. The two have meaning given that they both recently received buffs, while Kafka is the perfect partner for Hysilens in what will probably be the premium dot team.
Maybe for me to invest in an Eidolon, HMM?

To watch
In addition to the next part of Trailblaze’s story in a new part of Styxia, the big event in version 3.5 is the Maze Chrysos. Yes, we get a restaurant management game. Looking like a cross between Farmville and Dash dinner, you cultivate and serve food while renovating the restaurant to offer customers the best possible experience.
On a similar theme, the old Brews & New Friends event brings us back to The Dreamjolt Hostelry, where we are going to mix and serve fantasy drinks for new familiar faces. It seems great, give them stellar jades.
Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.5 was launched on August 13. The free RPG is available now on PC, Mobile and PlayStation 5.
