Exclusive Insider Look: Unveiling Honkai's Captivating Black Swan Kit and Model

Recent leaks from Honkai: Star Rail provide exciting new details about an upcoming character known as Black Swan. Despite being released just a few months ago, HoYoverse continues to introduce more playable characters in each new banner cycle.

The current limited banner in Honkai: Star Rail is called Contract Zero and showcases the highly sought-after five-star character, Silver Wolf, who has already played a significant role in the game's official storyline. Additionally, players also have the opportunity to obtain a strong lineup of four-star characters, such as Asta, Dan Heng, and Serval.

A well-known leaker in the Honkai: Star Rail community, merlin_impact, has recently shared exciting details about a brand-new playable character called Black Swan. This character holds a prestigious five-star rarity, positioning her as the main focus of an upcoming Honkai: Star Rail banner. According to the leak, Black Swan possesses a skill that inflicts Wind damage equivalent to 60% of her Attack stat on an enemy and nearby targets. Additionally, this skill temporarily decreases her defense by 27% for three consecutive turns, implying her potential as a valuable support character.

Black Swan's ultimate ability showcases a more intricate mechanic, enabling her to unleash an attack dealing damage equal to 96% of her Attack stat on the entire enemy team. Furthermore, her Strengthened Fate Card diminishes the target's effective resistance by 17.5%, essentially functioning as a negative status effect over time. With her passive ability, Black Swan has a 60% chance to apply her Fate Card effect to the target, which can be triggered up to four times per action. As for Black Swan's chosen Path, rumors suggest she will be a Nihility character in Honkai: Star Rail, sparking speculation among fans that she will synergize exceptionally well with upcoming characters.

Players have identified Black Swan as a Nihility unit that synergizes well with other Nihility DPS characters in Honkai: Star Rail. The speculation among fans is that the optimal team composition for Black Swan would likely consist of Kafka and a Nihility DPS character.

As of now, there is no official information or reliable leaks regarding the release date of Black Swan. It is expected that players may have to wait a few months before she becomes available as a playable character. According to previous leaks, the upcoming version 1.2 of Honkai Star Rail will introduce two new five-star characters, Blade and Kafka, along with a four-star unit named Luka.

Honkai: Star Rail is available now for Android, iOS, and PC. A PlayStation 5 version releases in Q4 2023.
