The game's main story has confirmed that Screwllum was appointed by the Aeon of Erudition, Nous, who selected Screwllum to be the 76th inductee into the Genius Society, an intergalactic organization with 84 members and one of the main factions in the game's universe. A new post on the Honkai: Star Rail Leaks subreddit has revealed more details about a familiar face, the fan-favorite Screwllum who's currently known as an important NPC. The leak has revealed various parts of Screwllum's kit, so here is a summary:

  • Basic Attack deals Imaginary damage equal to 130% of Screwllum's ATK stat
  • Skill: Screwllum deals Imaginary damage equal to 200% of his ATK stat to one target and 80% to adjacent enemies
  • Ultimate: Screwllum can reduce enemies' Imaginary resistance by 20% for 2 turns. It also deals damage to all enemies on the field.

When it comes to Screwllum's talent, he will apply a debuff named Diffusion Mark. This mark can be consumed by attacking, and it deals Imaginary damage equal to 110% of his Screwllums ATK stat. Similar to his skill, it will also deal damage to nearby enemies. Whenever damage is inflicted on nearby targets, it will consume any existing Diffusion Marks and trigger a burst of damage.

Fans seem to like the way Screwllum's kit works, and they have already started theorizing about potential team compositions for this Imaginary character. The fact that he follows the Path of Erudition hints that Screwullum will be a great asset when fighting multiple enemies.

Some comments have pointed out that he will have great synergy with the recently released Topaz, as well as an upcoming character named Dr. Ratio who is expected to arrive in the next update. Going by HoYoverse's usual update schedule, players can expect Honkai: Star Rail version 1.6 to drop around December 20.
