A leaked Star Rail update for Honkai reveals new details about the upcoming character, Hanya. Character leaks are a regular occurrence in the game's community, offering early insights into playable units long before their official release on the live servers.
The developer, HoYoverse, has been consistently enhancing the roster of playable characters, as evidenced by the recent banner that features two brand-new characters. Part two of the ongoing Honkai: Star Rail Version 1.1 introduces Loucha, a five-star character whose banner is set to end on July 18.

A recent post on the popular subreddit HonkaiStarRail_leaks has provided new information regarding an upcoming character named Hanya, who will be a four-star character. The leak states that Hanya's skill will enable her to cause single-target Physical damage based on a percentage of her ATK. Upon using this skill, she will also apply a Burden effect. Furthermore, her ultimate ability will enhance the speed of allies based on Hanya's own speed. This effect will also boost their Attack for multiple rounds, and activating the ultimate will restore one skill point. In terms of her talent, when a party member attacks an enemy affected by Burden, their damage output will increase. Additionally, attacking an enemy with this effect can also recover one skill point.
Hanya's Technique effect will result in an immediate attack on an enemy upon entering battle, while simultaneously inflicting the Burden effect on a random Honkai: Star Rail enemy. The leak has also revealed the effects of her three Traces. Her Recorder Trace will heighten Hanya's chances of recovering a skill point whenever a party member attacks an enemy afflicted by Burden.
Hanya's Underworld Trace ability boosts an ally's damage when they attack an enemy affected by Burden. Her latest ability, Resurrection, replenishes a part of Hanya's energy when she gains a skill point through her other effects. HoYoverse has received positive feedback for introducing a new four-star character with skill point recovery abilities, which can be crucial for specific Honkai: Star Rail team setups.
Players have noticed that all of Hanya's Eidolans are quite powerful, which is significant considering she is a four-star character with a high drop rate. Her entire kit revolves around the Burden effect, leading many players to believe that Hanya fans will be able to recover multiple skill points in a single move. Several comments suggest that she should be featured in the same banner as Dan Heng, as she has the potential to complement his playstyle.
Honkai: Star Rail is now available on Android, iOS, and PC. A PlayStation version is in development.
