Honkai Star Rail Reca is a new character who might just be joining the playable crew soon. So, who is Mr. Reca, and why’s he so popular right now? Let’s get into the details.
Who is Mr. Reca in Honkai Star Rail?
First, Mr. Reca is introduced in the 2.6 Trailblaze Continuance mission in Honkai Star Rail as a mysterious guy with some pretty unique qualities. He seems like just an eccentric movie director and acting professor teaching at Paperfold University in Penacony, where the Astral Express crew ends up. But it turns out he’s way more than just a regular professor.
Mr. Reca is actually a “memokeeper,” a type of character who can store and play back memories. This makes his role in storytelling super cool because he makes his movies using memories as if they were real events, making them incredibly realistic. Not to mention, he has this quirky sidekick – a mechanical frog called the Assistant Director. While the frog doesn’t say much, it adds a unique charm to Reca’s character.
In the story, he uses his talents and role at the university to get close to a character named Dr. Primitive. He actually had a plan involving a student named Profnana to gather information about Dr. Primitive. However, Profnana didn’t hold up his end of the deal, and the plan fell through. But Reca doesn’t give up that easily! He decides to help out the main team, the Trailblazer, by taking them into the memories of a character called Dazzling Ninja Rappa. Here, they dig into something called the “memetic virus,” which they want to use against another virus called the Slumbernana Monkey. Through this, Reca also helps some other characters, Boothill, Robin, and March 7th, in their fight against creatures called the Assistnanas. In the end, we see him chatting with Rappa, discussing where Dr. Primitive might show up next.
Will HSR Recca Be Playable?
This is the big question, right? Will we get to play as Mr. Reca? So far, every clue we’ve got points toward “Yes, probably!” Although HoYoverse, the game developer, hasn’t confirmed anything, Mr. Reca is too unique to just be a background character. His design and story depth hint that he’ll be a playable character soon.
Players are already speculating that he’ll join the roster in a future update, most likely in the HSR 2.7 update. He’s appeared on two light cones, which are items related to characters’ abilities in Honkai Star Rail. One light cone, called “Dream’s Montage,” suggests he might be on the Abundance path, while another one hints he could follow the Destruction path. But nothing’s set in stone yet, as we’ve seen light cones sometimes don’t directly reflect a character’s actual role. However, based on how much his character’s story connects with the game, fans feel he might take on a Remembrance role if he does join the lineup.
Honkai Star Rail Recca Leaks
Speaking of him being playable, there have been leaks that Mr. Reca might be coming as a 4-star character in the upcoming Honkai Star Rail 2.7 version. A trusted source, known as Uncle G7TDD8tv, mentioned on X (formerly Twitter) that Reca’s character could be released soon and even hinted at the type of weapon he might use – a Clapperboard. Yes, like the movie clapboards directors use on set! Since he’s a director from Penacony, a clapperboard as a weapon is fitting and totally in line with his personality.
If the leaks are accurate, we’ll likely see him in the first phase of the HSR 2.7 banner. HoYoverse usually releases a 4-star character for each patch, and Mr. Reca is looking like the chosen one for this version. But since this info is based on leaks, there’s always a chance things might change when the update finally drops. So, it’s wise to take it with a pinch of salt.
In summary, Mr. Reca is already a standout in Honkai Star Rail, with his intriguing background as a memokeeper, his quirky mechanical frog sidekick, and his memorable interactions with main characters. Players are eagerly waiting for him to become playable, and the hints all seem to point in that direction.
