There are rumors that Vita in HSR could become playable. The recent artwork of Honkai Impact 3rd x Honkai Star Rail collab features her, Sparkle, and Sampo.
The Honkai Impact 3rd and Honkai: Star Rail crossover event is building up excitement among fans. It’s making people wonder if Vita, a character from Honkai Impact, could someday be added to Honkai: Star Rail too. Here’s the scoop: HoYoverse, the game’s developer, recently released some artwork that got everyone talking. It showed Sampo, Sparkle, and Vita chilling in a bar called Penacony, which is home to the Masked Fools—a group of fun-loving, rebellious characters in Star Rail.
The artwork features Vita, who typically sticks to Honkai Impact 3rd, sparking excitement and speculation about HSR Vita.
Why Fans Think Honkai Star Rail Vita Is Possible?
So why are fans thinking Honkai Star Rail Vita is possible? For one, there’s the big hint in the artwork itself. Fans noticed that Vita is already hanging out in Penacony, where some of the Star Rail characters are from. She’s also got a new allegiance—she’s decided to follow Aha, the Aeon (or god) of Elation in Star Rail, instead of her usual deity, Sa. For Star Rail fans, this could mean that she might fit right into the story, especially with her connection to Aha and the Masked Fools.
Another reason why people are excited about Vita potentially joining Star Rail is because of her unique fighting style. She comes with a massive robot that helps her fight, similar to how Clara from Star Rail has her robot companion, Svarog. Fans think Vita could bring a new, fresh twist to the battles with her own robot. It’s like she’s already equipped for Star Rail with everything she’d need.
What is Masked Fools in HSR?
The Masked Fools are a bit of a mystery group in Star Rail. They’re followers of Aha and love doing things their own wild way, which sometimes means causing a little chaos. Sparkle and Sampo, both members of this crew, also participate in the event. And since fans have spotted Vita with them, it seems like HoYoverse might be teasing something larger for the future.
Interestingly, some fans are also joking about a tiny detail in the artwork: a character on a card above Sparkle that looks a bit like Paimon from Genshin Impact. HoYoverse might just be dropping little Easter eggs for fun, but it keeps fans guessing.
What We Know So Far About HSR and HI3 Collab?
Here’s what’s confirmed: the crossover event starts on November 28, 2024, in Honkai Impact 3rd. Sparkle is officially becoming a playable character with a new battlesuit called Thousand-Faced Maestro: Cameo. It’s a high-ranking S-rank suit, meaning she’s going to be powerful.
Sampo, who has been part of Star Rail from the beginning, is also in the artwork, even though he’s not getting a new battlesuit in Honkai Impact 3rd—yet. Giovanni, another character related to the Masked Fools, isn’t playable but appears in various Star Rail side stories, so it feels like the Masked Fools are slowly building up as an interesting group.
Now, while there’s no official confirmation from HoYoverse about Vita actually joining Star Rail, fans are hopeful. Since other Honkai Impact characters, like Welt and Himeko, have already jumped over to Star Rail, it doesn’t seem impossible for Vita to make the switch. Plus, fans are really vocal about wanting her, and HoYoverse does listen to its community—sometimes.
But it’s also possible this artwork is just a fun way to tease fans without any plans to bring Vita to Star Rail. HoYoverse loves keeping fans guessing, so we’ll have to wait and see if there are any more hints about Vita’s future.
