Developer HoYoverse shared the latest Honkai: Star Rail EP, featuring ‘Beyond This Station’ by Mika Kobayashi. It is recommended you postpone watching it until you’ve finished Version 4.4 Trailblaze Mission to avoid heavy spoilers.
“A passerby seeking a final resting place, a traveler bearing admonitions, people journey to the end of the painting where the ancient Lethe flows, stand witness to past joys and sorrows that emerge from within… At this instant, even as the canvas fades and tears and laughter return to silence, they will not falter. Just wait and see, for the Express will set forth carrying everyone’s wishes, until it reaches the destination called hope.”
In Version 4.4, the events of Planarcadia reach their peak – and find their conclusion. Lord Ravager Asat Pramad threw off his masks and entered the game personally, and the Nameless and their allies can only answer in kind. The latest storyline unveils the mystery of Himeko’s past and the events of the Bloodstained Games 15 years ago.
It is also in this version that the Trailblazers will see Himeko undergo her own transformation. Meet Himeko • Nova, a Fire-Type character following the Path of Erudition. She is a damage-dealing character who can pilot a mech and provide support attacks.
When the battle begins, she immediately deploys a Territory and summons the mech “Starblazer” to assist in battle. When using her Ultimate, she leads her teammates to pilot “Starblazer” and attack enemies. All teammates additionally gain the Assist Skill, and they can summon “Starblazer” at any time to attack all enemies.
If a teammate is part of the Express Crew, they can also gain special effects. Additionally, when using her Technique during overworld exploration, Himeko • Nova can also pilot her mech, aim at and attack enemies within range from high above in the sky.
