Developer HoYoverse is back to business! The Honkai: Star Rail Version 4.0 special program is barely over, and the team is already teasing a new character coming in V4.1. Meet Ashveil, ace detective of the Ashen Detective Agency.
Note that HoYo has already revealed that HSR Version 4.1 will last for 4 weeks. During this time, Ashveil and his LC will be available for the entirety of the patch to pull.
Ashveil – 5-star Lightning Hunt
There is not much that we know about this mysterious man wielding a cane. He has made a couple of appearances in the Myriad Celestia and the Version trailers, but that’s about it. Break? Traditional crit hypercarry? DOT? Follow-up? Unknown yet.
Here’s how Aha Instant introduces him. Operates on a whim, hardcore Deduction… Relies purely on Intuition, yet repeatedly cracks strange cases. With a monkey for an assistant, retirement is the only goal. As for the detective sleeping in the fridge… he’s just waiting for a willing bite. Under the Phantasmoon, the vile beast howls. How will his game of Hounding Pursuit draw to a close?
“I’m Ashveil, ace detective of the Ashen Detective Agency. Here’s my card. I take on all kinds of commissions, such as looking for lost pets, pretending to be a parent in parent-teacher nights, capturing interstellar wanted criminals, or tracing the whereabouts of an Aeon… So, what can I do for you?”
Aha! A special shout-out to Ashveil for winning:
- ✧ No. 1 “Legendary Reaper Constitution” ✧
- ✧ 1st Place for “There’s Definitely Something Wrong With the Detective I Hired” ✧
Stay tuned to find out more and get farming as soon as 4.0 kicks in – the update introduces new materials for Hunt & Lightning characters. And that’s exactly the combo this man needs regardless of his kit.
