After rumors about Rappa came out, a new Honkai: Star Rail leak revealed the character's unique movement ability. Honkai: Star Rail often introduces new characters and features to ensure that fans have a fun experience in every update.
Recently, Honkai: Star Rail leaks revealed that a new character named Rappa might be debuting in Version 2.6. Her star level, element, and Path are still unknown, but based on leaked information about her ability kit, she can allegedly deal AoE damage and ignore enemy weaknesses. This might mean that Rappa could be an Erudition character that can deal damage to multiple enemies at once.
Honkai: Star Rail Leak Reveals New Version 2.6 Map
A new Honkai: Star Rail leak suggests that a new location may open up in Version 2.6, and many fans have already guessed where it is.
Meanwhile, a new leak about Rappa seemed to hint at her unique movement ability. A Reddit post shared a screenshot from Shiroha Leaks that talked about Rappa's alleged Technique, which will allow her to surf on her blade while rapping, leaving graffiti-style marks on the ground. This ability would make her invulnerable and inflict Toughness reduction on all enemies when she attacks them in the field.
New Honkai: Star Rail Character Rappa's Rumored Technique Explained
- Rappa surfs on her blade while rapping, and leaves graffiti-style marks wherever she passes. She is untouchable in this form, and can reduce all enemies' toughness when she attacks them.
In the comments, many Honkai: Star Rail fans pointed out that Rappa's Toughness reduction might be confirmation that a new meta is on the horizon. Honkai: Star Rail has had a Break Effect meta for a while now, and rumors of a new Toughness mechanic might signal a change soon. Meanwhile, some fans seemed confused about Rappa's character design, especially the part about her rapping.
Rappa's alleged ability could be a sign that Honkai: Star Rail is slowly integrating more unique movements into the game. Many fans already saw the possibility of varied movements after seeing Honkai: Star Rail introduce Firefly's ability to fly in the air to plunge-attack enemies. It will be refreshing to see more movement and transportation options in Honkai: Star Rail down the line.
The current story of Honkai: Star Rail is set in Xianzhou Luofu, and it's likely that this will continue until before Version 3.0 comes out. Although the leaks didn't reveal Rappa's origins, it's likely that she's a Xianzhou native because she's able to ride her sword like a hoverboard, meaning that she has a flying sword like Yanqing. Likewise, it would be interesting to see how Rappa differs from other sword wielders from the Xianzhou region.
