New leaks have surfaced regarding Honkai: Star Rail's upcoming update, which will introduce a brand-new character named Misha. This four-star Ice character is set to join the game's already impressive lineup of heroes, including popular Stellaron Hunters Kafka and Silver Wolf. Despite only recently launching, Honkai: Star Rail is already generating plenty of buzz among fans of the Honkai Impact 3rd spinoff. The upcoming Version 1.1 update is set to feature two new five-star characters, Silver Wolf and Luocha, as well as a chat system. Additionally, Version 1.2 will introduce Blade and Kafka. With even more exciting content on the horizon, fans can't wait to see what HoYoverse has in store for Honkai: Star Rail.
According to recent leaks from Honkai: Star Rail, Misha has been introduced with both appearance and gameplay descriptions. Misha's design is strikingly icy, featuring light blue hair and blue as a common color throughout. Reportedly an Ice Destruction character, Misha is known for their heavy AoE elements, with their Skill dealing AoE damage and an Ultimate that bounces across multiple enemies. Misha's gameplay includes a unique stacking "Kinetic Energy" system that grants increased Weakness Break from Ice attacks and bonus hits from their Ultimate. As of now, the release date for Misha is still unknown.
Misha's kit is heavily focused on dealing damage and places the character on the offensive side of the Destruction Path. Unlike Clara's Ultimate, Misha's abilities do not offer any defensive elements or damage reduction. As a main or sub-DPS character, Misha is a strong choice for players who want to quickly shred Ice weaknesses. The leak suggests that Misha will be a four-star character upon release.
Honkai: Star Rail's leaks have mainly focused on the game's new five-star characters, but there have also been teasers for four-star members like Misha. Leaks heavily suggest that Yukong will be released as a four-star character in the upcoming Version 1.1, alongside either Silver Wolf or Luocha. In Version 1.2, HoYoverse's most recent character reveal showcased Luka as a member of Jarilo-VI's Wildfire organization, joining the game as a four-star character. Honkai: Star Rail's opening patches promise to bring a variety of new and unique characters to the game's roster.
Honkai: Star Rail is available now for PC and mobile devices. PS4 and PS5 versions are in development.
