Summary
- A Firefly skin leak sparks community discussion, potentially arriving in Version 3.4 around July.
- Updates aim to address power creep issue by buffing older characters like Firefly.
A new Honkai: Star Rail leak has revealed more information about the long-awaited Firefly skin, sparking discussion in the community. Unlike most HoYoverse titles, Honkai: Star Rail has not introduced many alternate skins for its characters, which might seem surprising considering that new roster additions are the main focus of each update.
The ongoing Version 3.2 has introduced a lot of new content, including the anniversary event that allows players to earn many rewards, either for free or by completing a few simple steps. The update is scheduled to end in a couple of days, which means Honkai: Star Rail players don’t have much time left to pull for the currently available characters, Anaxa and Dr. Ratio.
Genshin Impact Leak Gives Update on Durin's Potential Release Window
A new Genshin Impact leak provides more information about the potential release window of the human version of the legendary dragon Durin.
Over the past few months, many leakers have been hinting at a new skin collection that might be introduced to the game. Initially, these skins were rumored to arrive with the major 3.0 update. However, after only one new alternate outfit for Honkai: Star Rail's March 7th was introduced, it seems players will have to wait a few more months for additional skins. One character most frequently tied to these skin rumors is the fan-favorite Firefly, who is expected to be the next character to receive a new outfit. Many fans were disappointed to see that the leaked test data for Version 3.4 did not include any information about a Firefly skin. However, a credible leaker named Luna has revealed that this doesn’t necessarily mean Firefly’s new skin won’t be part of update 3.4, as new outfits usually don’t appear in the first test phase, making it difficult to predict their release date based on data leaks.
Honkai: Star Rail Leak Hints at Unexpected Firefly Buffs
This means there’s still a good chance that Firefly’s skin might arrive in Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.4, which is expected to be released around July 1. Many fans in the comments were also intrigued by the leak’s casual mention of Firefly buffs, which had not been noted in any previous rumors. HoYoverse is expected to introduce a set of powerful buffs for older characters in update 3.3, aiming to address one of Honkai: Star Rail’s biggest issues: power creep.
Unlike Genshin Impact, which has older characters like Zhongli and Bennett remaining viable despite being released in 2020, Honkai Star Rail’s older characters often struggle to keep up with the constantly shifting meta. However, players did not expect Firefly to be among those receiving buffs, as she remains one of the most powerful five-star units in Honkai: Star Rail.
Firefly is one of many characters whose kit revolves around the Break effect, yet she continues to be the go-to choice for teams built around that mechanic. Still, these leaks should be taken with a grain of salt. For official confirmation, players will have to wait for the next Honkai: Star Rail preview event.
