HoYoverse has officially revealed Mydei as part of their drip marketing for the upcoming Honkai Star Rail Version 3.1 update. Mydei is shaping up to be one of the most unique 5-star characters, combining a deep backstory with powerful abilities. So, let’s break down all the details about this mysterious new addition.
Honkai Star Rail Mydei Drip Marketing and Lore Reveal
Mydei is a 5-star Destruction character who uses the Imaginary element, making him a heavy hitter in battles. His story links him to Kremnos, a city filled with mist and chaos. As the crown prince of Kremnos, Mydei experienced a past steeped in conflict. The lore hints at themes of betrayal, war, and leadership, with Mydei rising from turmoil to become a key figure in the story.
His visual design gives off a regal and commanding presence. With golden armor and a tall standard symbolizing his royal heritage, Mydei’s aesthetic feels straight out of a mythological tale. People are already comparing him to legendary figures like Fate’s Gilgamesh for his iconic look.
