According to new leaks, Phase 1 of the Honkai Star Rail 3.5 banner will feature Hysilens, a 5-star Physical character who walks the Nihility Path. A member of the Chrysos Heirs, Hysilens is expected to introduce DoT-based mechanics to the roster.

In Phase 2 of the HSR 3.5 banner, players can look forward to Cerydra, a 5-star Ice character. Most sources report she follows the Harmony Path, though one leak suggests she could instead be on the Remembrance Path. Regardless, her role seems support-based, offering synergy with Phainon (from version 3.4) and potential replacements for Remembrance Trailblazer in team comps.
As a character connected to the Amphoreus storyline, Cerydra is expected to play a major role in the missions involving the Coreflames and corrupted Titans.
