Developer HoYoverse and Honkai: Star Rail are back in the first day of 2026 with the first teaser for the future: meet Yao Guang, the first new character of V4.0 and the first representative of the Path of Elation. What will she do, gameplay wise? Stay tuned to find out!
Yao Guang (5-star Physical Elation)
Yao Guang is the Arbiter-General of Xianzhou Yuque and the Seer Strategist, Fu Xuan on steroids. Previously, we “encountered” her in voice only, spying on the talk between her, Jing Yuan, Feixiao and Huaiyan as they were discussing the God Slayer Protocol and the fates of Jingliu and Luocha.
Her mysterious, bold, and radical actions were so revolutionary that they left everyone stunned. She saw all fortune, good and ill, through the “eye” of The Hunt. Yet, knowing that fate is not to be defied, the Seer Strategist still faced the danger alone. To be dealt such a cursed fortune… How can one ever hope to alter their fate?
“Like everyone else, you may simply call me Madam Yao. It’s true, I could have divined the finer details of this encounter, but where’s the fun in that? Being here in person has turned up some rather pleasant surprises.”
If you want to know more about her, consider watching the lore video below, and stay tuned for new reveals!
Sparxie (5-star Fire Elation)
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s Sparxie! You didn’t think we’d go to the Elation planet without Miss Elation herself, did you? Having taken on the secondary role during the events of Penacony and fished out the bodies of the Trailblazer and Dan Heng from the space around Amphoreus, she’s back to the stage. Will she be a supporting actor or a lead this time? Stay tuned!
Thumbs up! Follow! Stream! Views! Party till the world ends! Sparxie and Sparkle, the Mask and the Fool are fundamentally the same. Whoever is seen, whoever is liked, is the correct answer!
Aha! A special shout-out to Sparxie for winning:
- ✧ No. 1 “Planarcadia Highlight Reel Machine” ✧
- ✧ No. 1 “Most Likely Everywhere at Once” ✧
“Hey there, Galactic Baseballer, welcome to the stream! I’m your good friend, Sparxie~ Are you ready for a day overflowing with dopamine? The world is full of sparkle, so don’t forget to shine brightly just like Sparxie!”
