Developer HoYoverse is back with a new Keeping Up with Star Rail video, focusing on Himeko • Nova: her skills and abilities, her relationship with Asat Pramad, and her love for coffee.
“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.”
Himeko • Nova is a Fire-Type character following the Path of Erudition.She is a damage-dealing character who can pilot a mech and provide support attacks.
When the battle begins, she immediately deploys a Territory and summons the mech “Starblazer” to assist in battle. When using her Ultimate, she leads her teammates to pilot “Starblazer” and attack enemies. When the Territory is deployed, all teammates additionally gain the Assist Skill, and they can summon “Starblazer” at any time to attack all enemies.
If a teammate is part of the Express Crew, they can also gain special effects. Additionally, when using her Technique during overworld exploration, Himeko • Nova can also pilot her mech, aim at and attack enemies within range from high above in the sky.
This is the second time that an upgraded version of the character kept the original Path and Element: first it was Herta and The Herta, and now it is Himeko and Himeko • Nova. Her debut banner arrives in Version 4.4: In Ravages Does the Whistle Sound and will be available for its entire duration.

- 5-star character: Himeko • Nova (Fire Erudition)
