Developer HoYoverse kicked off the latest update for Honkai: Star Rail, Version 4.3: The Lethe Below the Living is available now. Trailblazers can hop into the game right now to pull for Mortenax Blade or Yao Guang rerun, take on the new Anomaly Arbitration or explore the new areas and story.
The developers have also shared some hints as to what to expect in the future. In V4.3 Phase II, Phainon and Cyrene will be back for a rerun. And in the upcoming Version 4.4, players will be able to pull for Himeko • Nova and the new collab heroes Rin and Gilgamesh.
In combat, Mortenax Blade can use his Ultimate, “Fornax Ex Corpore” to deploy a special Bounded Field and enter an enhanced state.
While the Bounded Field is active, all enemies receive increased DMG. Upon entering this enhanced state, Mortenax Blade unlocks his Skill, utilizing a Sword Formation to deal even more DMG to enemies while gaining a brand-new, more powerful Ultimate. Furthermore, every time an ally attacks an enemy, they inflict a debuff on the target and accumulate a special Charge for Mortenax Blade. Once this Charge is full, he automatically uses his Skill once and regenerates extra Energy.
