Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.3 arrives tomorrow, bringing along new banners: the first rerun of Ruan Mei (5-star Ice Harmony) and the debut of Firefly (5-star Fire Destruction). To bring players up to speed, the developers have shared a brand-new Firefly trailer, showing her in action.
“Fyreflies are such magical creatures, aren’t they? They may throw themselves at a flame or suddenly grow old, but every night before that, they will shine brighter than the stars.”
In battle scenarios, Firefly is a Break Effect-based damage dealer. After using her Technique, she can summon her SAM armor and leap into the air, moving freely, with SAM attacking all enemies within a set range to enter battle. Each wave of enemies can have Fire Weakness forced upon units without Fire Weakness, lasting for a set number of turns. In the heat of battle, SAM will be operating in two forms.
In the initial form, using her Skill consumes HP but simultaneously replenishes her Ultimate energy. The less HP Firefly has, the less damage she sustains. When activating her Ultimate, SAM transforms into its second battle form — the dazzling Complete Combustion state. Alongside more potent Basic Attacks and Skills, her Speed and Weakness Break efficiency are also heightened. The Break DMG dealt by SAM is increased until the countdown for Complete Combustion ends.
