Honkai Star Rail schedules Version 3.3 for release later this month with the Flame-Chase Journey reaching its apex

While we impatiently wait for the Fate/Stay Night collaboration to land in Honkai: Star Rail this July, I suppose we should indulge the next update in the meantime. Version 3.3, dubbed The Fall at Dawn’s Rise, will be with us May 21st, and the Flame-Chase Journey is reaching its end.

The Chrysos Heirs have reclaimed the Coreflames, and it is time for the Trailblazer to stand with their allies in the Flame-Chase Journey's final fight against the Sky Titan. At the same time, Madam Herta managed to reach the Vortex of Genesis with their data spirit entity, and soon the root of Amphoreus’s tragedy will be laid bare for all the see.

To assist in your endeavours, the 5-Star healer Hyacine will join the fray. She can summon Little Ica to provide continuous healing to your party, and can both heal and increase the team's Max HP using her Ultimate. Whenever a party member is damaged by an enemy or even themselves, Little Ica will consume its own HP to automatically heal, whilst also dealing damage to foes.

On the other end of the scale, Cipher, the 5-Star Nihility hero, can utterly obliterate foes. She places a status effect on the foe with the highest HP, which records all the damage they have taken, and causes her to unleash a follow-up attack when they are hit. Then, using her Ultimate, she deals additional True DMG based on the total recorded damage. The best part of this is that Cipher can switch the marked target, allowing you to unleash hell where it is most needed.

As well as these two new heroes, The Herta and Aglaea will have their rerun banners in the first and second half of Version 3.3, respectively. This is despite the fact that they both were only released this year, and there are plenty of characters who haven’t been in a Warp in aeons. I don’t know who is making these decisions, but they need a second opinion.

The Penacon Speed Cup Spheroid Racing Tournament is open for pre-registration if you have a need for speed, and the Legend of the Galactic Baseballer: Demon King is launching after some tweaks for the last beta test. Download Honkai: Star Rail from the App Store and Google Play so you don’t miss out.
