The newest story patch of Amphoreus, Honkai: Star Rail – Version 3.5: Before Their Deaths will find the Trailblazer in quite the predicament. Sent a thousand years into the past, the protagonist will have to join forces with faces both new and familiar to give a fight to Lycurgus and save Amphoreus once and for all.
But will it be as simple as it sounds? Surely not, thankfully, The Herta and Screwllum continue to work their Genius magic outside the Scepter, giving everyone a fighting chance.
Countless embers illuminate this firmament of night, each burning with their own radiance… But there’s only one star that has remained eternal in the vast and deep.
Don’t forget your Stellar Jades!
Version 3.5 officially kicks off the second half of the Amphoreus story. There are new companions to encounter, enemies to face, and even some old friends in some completely fresh forms! Hysilens and Cerydra, historical figures from Okhema’s past, will also debut as playable characters in this update.
Now bearing the mantle of the Deliverer, the Trailblazer accompanied Cyrene into another cycle of the Eternal Recurrence, arriving in Okhema one thousand years into the past. This was the age when Imperator Cerydra, the holder of the Law Coreflame, still sat upon the throne of Okhema, supported by her loyal Knight Commander Hysilens.

Upon using her Ultimate, Hysilens creates a Zone. While the Zone is active, each instance of DoT inflicted on enemies will trigger an additional DoT from her.

A master strategist raised on the principles of chess, Cerydra (5-star Wind-type Harmony) excels at long-term planning and command.
Incombat, her Skill grants an ally a special upgradable buff known as “Military Merit,” increasing the ally’s ATK and dealing additional DMG. As the battle progresses, Military Merit levels up. The affected ally will gain increased CRIT DMG and All-Type RES PEN when using Skills and can even replicate their Skill effects, boosting the team’s overall DMG output.
