Honkai Star Rail Leaks: New Amphoreus Character Could Be an Exciting Revelation for Welt

A recent leak has surfaced regarding a new character from Honkai: Star Rail, known as Amphoreus, hinting at potential surprises for Welt, especially after his encounter with Acheron in Penacony. The Amphoreus character roster was initially unveiled with the launch of Version 3.0, which marked the beginning of the game’s third year and introduced players to The Eternal Land—a mystical realm inhabited by several Amphoreus characters. Aglaea was the first character from this new set to become playable.

HoYoverse has teased most of the Amphoreus characters, but only a few have made their debut as NPCs within the game. Prominent characters include Aglaea, Phainon, Tribbie, Mydei, and Castorice, who are presented as allies among the Chrysos Heirs. However, many more characters remain unintroduced, including notable names like Hyacine, Cipher, and Anaxa. Fans anticipate their eventual introduction as the narrative surrounding Amphoreus unfolds. Recently, a leak regarding one of these characters has caught the community’s attention, suggesting a rather unique design.

Hysilens’ Design in Honkai: Star Rail Has Leaked

The Teased Amphoreus Character: Hysilens

Honkai Star Rail's Hysilens reaches up toward the sky.

Among the anticipated characters from Amphoreus, Hysilens stands out. Although she was partially showcased in an early teaser trailer, her complete appearance remains somewhat ambiguous. A new leak, however, has surfaced, presenting a drawing that potentially reveals Hysilens’ design. According to this leak posted on Reddit, Hysilens is depicted as a female figure donned in an ornate purple or dark blue dress, complemented by black sleeves.

The leak further details that Hysilens sports grey stockings and dark boots. Intriguingly, she wears a distinctive red glove on her right hand and a black glove on her left. Additionally, a pink necklace adorns her neck, while her long purple hair matches the color scheme of her attire. The illustration hints at significant accessories, including a large ornament atop her head and another piece attached to her waist, although the latter remains unidentifiable.

Design Similarities to Seele in Honkai Impact 3rd

Welt Might Be Reminded of His Past

What stands out in Hysilens’ leaked design is its striking similarity to Seele Vollerei from Honkai Impact 3rd. Despite her longer locks, Hysilens shares a comparable color palette and dress style with Seele, noted for her distinctive fashion in the action RPG. Additionally, there are parallels with Raiden Mei, as both characters evoke discussions between Welt and Acheron within the narrative of Honkai: Star Rail.

During Welt’s first encounter with Acheron, he initially mistook her for Raiden Mei, likely due to their similar appearances and the use of katanas in combat. This recurring theme of characters resembling figures from Welt’s past has significant implications for Hysilens. Her design might evoke similar feelings of nostalgia for Welt, especially if she resembles Seele, who is connected to Bronya, or Raiden Mei.

The Character’s Participation in Amphoreus

Within the context of the Amphoreus expedition, the Astral Express has appointed the protagonist and Dan Heng as its representatives. Meanwhile, Welt remains in the safety of the Astral Express alongside the other Nameless, with little indication that he will journey to Amphoreus anytime soon. This decision raises the question of whether Welt will ever encounter Hysilens and experience the shock of recognizing her similarities to someone from his past.

HoYoverse has outlined that the story arc in Amphoreus will unfold over several updates, from Version 3.0 through Version 3.7 of Honkai: Star Rail, allowing ample opportunity for new developments. This could lead to the protagonist and Dan Heng potentially reuniting with allies from the Astral Express on Amphoreus. While the crossover aspect between the Honkai universe and the Honkai: Star Rail narrative is neither a surprise nor new—a fact evidenced by appearances of characters such as Sampo—there is still a degree of separation between characters and storylines across both titles.

In this ever-expanding universe, fans are left to wonder how the story may progress in upcoming updates. Hysilens may join the ranks of characters reminiscent of those in Honkai Impact 3rd, possibly serving as a reflection of Welt’s past, although given her affiliation with the Chrysos Heirs, such a resemblance might complicate their interactions.
