New leaks from Honkai: Star Rail are teasing the gameplay of rumored character Jade, suggesting they will be introduced as a Quantum support with HP-sapping mechanics. The sizable roster of the HoYoverse RPG has employed a wide variety of different characters with unique gameplay, often centering around specific game mechanics. Mechanics like Weakness Break and follow-up attacks have been the focus of popular characters like Version 1.6 five-star character Ruan Mei and Version 1.4 five-star Topaz, respectively. Now, recent leaks are teasing the gameplay for rumored character Jade.

Honkai: Star Rail's Next World of Penacony

The cast of Honkai: Star Rail's next world of Penacony has already seen numerous teasers leading up to its upcoming release in Version 2.0. HoYoverse recently confirmed the first three characters to hail from the new world, with Black Swan and Sparkle debuting as five-star units and Misha as a four-star character. The recent Version 1.6 Special Program would share teaser images for multiple new characters like Robin, Gallagher, and Aventurine. Now, Jade looks to be coming to Honkai: Star Rail as the newest character with mechanics revolving around draining allies' HP.

A new update from prominent Honkai: Star Rail leaker Dimbreath has given players their first look at the kit for unrevealed Honkai: Star Rail character Jade. Jade is believed to be joining Star Rail's roster as a Quantum character, with their Skill draining their allies' HP while also increasing their allies' Speed. Jade's passive grants a follow-up attack after their team attacks enemies a certain number of times, with their Ultimate dealing AoE damage to all enemies and buffing the follow-up attack. Jade has yet to be officially revealed within Honkai; Star Rail and has no confirmed release date.

Jade's HP-draining mechanics with their Skill is far from the first time HoYoverse has experimented with characters sapping their allies' health. Version 1.1 five-star character Blade introduced the draining mechanic to Honkai: Star Rail, with each of the Stellaron Hunter's abilities reducing his own HP to empower his attacks. Popular DPS character Jingliu also boasts a similar gameplay style, with her 'Spectral Transmigration' form's enhanced attacks draining her allies' HP. Jade's role as an HP-draining support looks to mesh well with characters that benefit from reduced HP.

Jade's gameplay leaks join several other characters from Penacony to see their kits teased ahead of the world's launch. Each of Version 2.0's five-star characters have seen their abilities revealed early, showcasing Black Swan's powerful DPS-oriented abilities and Sparkle's unique status as a Skill-buffing support.
