As per tradition, right after announcing Honkai: Star Rail Version 4.3 special program, developer HoYoverse is back teasing things to come. The first new character joining the roster in Version 4.4 is another familiar face: fiery red hair, a cup of coffee, and a mecha in the background. That’s right, we are in for a new version of Himeko, “Nova”.
Himeko • Nova – 5-star Fire Erudition
Just like before we had Herta and Therta, now we have Himeko and Thimeko. Bad joke, I know, but it’s the second time a character is following the exact same Path/Element combination to their previous version. Which isn’t much, but it’s still weird it happened twice.
Himeko set aside her coffee cup, picked up a spear and chose violence. Perhaps patch 4.4 truly will bring the answers to the curse of Graphia and the events of Bloodstained Games 15 years ago.
Some fight by your side, while others watch over you, the Trailblaze is never a solitary voyage. She paints a trailblazing miracle. The silver rail stretches on, and the Nameless set sail once more, illuminating the galaxy’s eternal night. At the end of the line, she looks back once again. The dream of setting forth has never run aground.
“No matter how tangled our pasts or how distant the future, our bond remains unchanged. I am Himeko, Navigator of the Astral Express — and your family, always looking out at the same horizon as you.”
Aha! Special celebration for obtaining Himeko • Nova:
- ✧ “Astral Express Coffee Master” 1st Place ✧
- ✧ “But My Robot Is Better Than Yours” 1st Place ✧
