In Honkai: Star Rail, a player noticed an intriguing detail about Seele's weapon. Seele, the Quantum-type character, was the game's initial five-star banner character upon its release in April. Moreover, Seele's banner set new revenue records during its entire duration.
In addition to utilizing Warp pulls, players encounter Seele for the first time in Jarilo-VI's Underworld, located in Belobog City. As the very first planet visited by the Trailblazers, it is on this planet where players are introduced to Seele. She is a spirited member of Wildfire, a peacekeeping faction that has replaced the Silvermane Guards stationed in the Underworld. Seele is well-known for her skilled use of a large scythe during battle. Furthermore, her Quantum abilities grant her the agility and stealth necessary for swift movement if the situation calls for it.
During the examination of Seele's scythe, a Honkai: Star Rail fan named spartan8ter noticed that the handle was crafted from a bolt action rifle. A Reddit post featured a photo showcasing various parts of the scythe, such as the trigger, which were reminiscent of the rifle.
In the comments section, numerous Honkai: Star Rail players shared their theories regarding how Seele obtained a bolt action rifle in the Underworld, which was inaccessible from the main city. One hypothesis suggested that she either found or stole it from the Silvermane Guards' weapon arsenal and then incorporated it into her scythe. Another theory proposed that Sampo might have smuggled firearms and other provisions during his secretive trips to Belobog, possibly explaining the characters' possession of heavy-duty weapons like Natasha with her grenade launcher. Meanwhile, an ongoing debate unfolded regarding the specific type of rifle, with one individual noting its resemblance to the firearm utilized by Bronya.
It is logical for Seele and other residents of the Underworld to use and repurpose items from Belobog City. The Underworld is primarily a destitute mining city infested with dangerous Fragmentum monsters. Honkai: Star Rail quests in Jarilo-VI often imply the challenging conditions faced by its citizens, as well as the bravery exhibited by Wildfire in maintaining peace and thwarting enemies.
Although the main storyline of Honkai: Star Rail has moved past Jarilo-VI, players may have the opportunity to revisit it in future updates. This is evidenced by the Everwinter City Museum event, where the Trailblazer was assigned the task of managing the newly opened museum. Additionally, the introduction of the four-star character Luka in Version 1.2, who is also a member of Wildfire, may indicate the potential for more quests involving Belobog and the Underworld in the future.
Honkai: Star Rail is available now for Android, iOS, and PC. A PlayStation 5 version launches in Q4 2023.
