Who is Honkai Star Rail Hysilens?
HoYoverse has revealed Hysilens in the 3.5 drip marketing. She is a new 5-star Physical Nihility character. Hysilens is the Knight Commander of Styxia, a city known for dreams and intoxication. Her backstory ties closely to the game’s lore.
Hysilens’ true name is Helektra. She is a Chrysos Heir who guards the Ocean’s Coreflame. Styxia is her home city. Players saw hints of her story in the Amphoreus chapter. She was believed to be dead, which makes her return mysterious.
Her drip marketing says, “Helektra? That name has long sunk into the past. Call me Hysilens.” This suggests the story will explore memories of the past.
Hysilens’ Role, Release Date and Banner Info in Honkai Star Rail
Hysilens will deal Physical damage and follow the Nihility path. Details about her abilities are still secret. Fans hope she will be a Physical DoT unit. This would bring back a playstyle missing since Black Swan.
Moreover, Hysilens was thought to be dead in the Amphoreus story, and now the 3.5 story may take place in the past or inside memories.
Hysilens will release in the first phase of the 3.5 update. Based on the update cycle, expect her banner around August 13, 2025. Trailblazers should start saving Stellar Jade for her summon.
Final Thoughts
Hysilens is a highly awaited character in Honkai Star Rail. Her story will add depth to Styxia and Amphoreus. Physical Nihility fans should watch for her 3.5 debut. She might change the meta with new Physical DoT options.
