HSR Cerydra Kit Leak
Cerydra is a new 5-star Wind Harmony character introduced in Honkai Star Rail Version 3.5. Known as the Sovereign of the Northern Empire and a Chrysos Heir, she commands battlefield control through her unique “Military Merit” mechanic and powerful buffs.
Here is all that we know about the HSR Cerydra kit:
HSR Cerydra Abilities
Basic Attack: Maneuver: Expeditious Relocation
Deals Wind DMG equal to 100% of Cerydra’s ATK to a single enemy target.
Skill: Ascend: From Pawn to Queen
Grants “Military Merit” to one ally and gains 1 Charge (max 8). When Charge reaches 6, “Military Merit” upgrades to “Nobility,” dispelling Crowd Control debuffs, granting a 72% CRIT DMG boost on Skill DMG, and triggering a Coup de Main effect. After Coup de Main, Charge resets to 0 and “Military Merit” reverts.
Ultimate: All is Chess, Checkmate in Four
Deals AoE Wind DMG equal to 240% of Cerydra’s ATK and gains 2 Charge. If no ally has “Military Merit,” grants it to the first character in the team lineup.
Talent: Glory to the Imperator
Allies with “Military Merit” gain ATK equal to 24% of Cerydra’s ATK. When those allies use Basic Attack or Skill, Cerydra gains 1 Charge (cannot gain during Coup de Main). Only the most recent target with “Military Merit” benefits.
Technique: First-Move Advantage
After using her Technique, Cerydra gains “Military Merit,” which transfers to the active character when switching. At the start of battle, the character with “Military Merit” automatically uses Skill once without costing Skill Points.
HSR Cerydra Traces
- Conqueror: Using Skill increases SPD by 20 for Cerydra and “Military Merit” teammates for 3 turns. Each Basic Attack or Skill by these allies regenerates 5 Energy for Cerydra.
- Observer: Increases Cerydra’s CRIT Rate by 100%. When Charge is less than max, gains 1 Charge when a “Military Merit” ally uses their Ultimate for the first time per battle.
- Seeker: For every 100 ATK above 2000, increases CRIT DMG by 18%, up to 360%.
Stat Boosts
Cerydra gains +18% ATK, +22.4% Wind DMG Boost, and +10% HP through passive stat boosts.

- 1st Eidolon: “Military Merit” allies ignore 15% DEF, and while in “Nobility” state, ignore an additional 18% DEF on Skill DMG.
- 2nd Eidolon: “Military Merit” allies deal 40% more DMG; if multiple “Military Merit” allies are on the field, Cerydra’s DMG increases by 160%.

When she uses her Skill on an ally, that ally’s Skill DMG increases by 54% for 3 turns.
