Developer HoYoverse shared the latest Honkai: Star Rail animated short ‘Your Ending, My Beginning’ dedicated to Himeko and the start of this trailblazing journey. If you haven’t finished Version 4.3, its contents will be a large spoiler.
“I often dream of the end of that Phantasmoon Games. If you had been the one to survive back then… You’d be far more impressive than I am now. Motoko, I’m home.”
The upcoming Version 4.4: In Ravages Does the Whistle Sound will shed the light on the events of the Phantasmoon Games 15 years ago, and reveal the truth of Himeko’s past. While the end of V4.3 and the animated short above do give us more information, there are still obvious gaps that have remained unaddressed, such as the reason for the Astral Express setting out once more and the “lie of the Trailblaze” taunted by Asat Pramad.
Now, the Lord Ravager dropped his disguise and entered the game personally. Will the planet survive another invasion from this Demon King? Ultimately, the Trailblazer and the Nameless will have to face him in combat to find out.
To help out, Himeko will be receiving a new form: Himeko • Nova (5-star Fire Erudition) who summons the mech “Starblazer” to assist in battle. When using her Ultimate, she leads her teammates to pilot “Starblazer” and attack enemies. When the Territory is deployed, 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.
