Honkai: Star Rail has officially announced Hysilens as the first new character joining the playable roster in Version 3.5. As the game prepares for its upcoming 3.4 update, players are eagerly anticipating the fresh content and storyline developments. The 3.3 Trailblaze Mission concluded with a gripping cliffhanger, leaving fans excited for what's next.

HoYoverse has scheduled a special livestream to showcase Honkai: Star Rail's Version 3.4, introducing three new characters: Phainon, Saber, and Archer. Among them, Phainon stands out as a highly anticipated Chrysos Heir, though he won't be the last to join the roster.

Hysilens, confirmed via social media, will debut as a 5-Star Physical unit of the Nihility Path. Her design features long dark hair, a purple dress, and a conch-like hair accessory, reflecting her ocean-themed origins. As the Knight Commander of Okhema, she wields the Ocean's Coreflame. While her exact abilities remain under wraps, Nihility characters typically specialize in debuffing enemies, with some capable of dealing significant damage. Hysilens marks the second Physical Nihility character after Luka.

Hysilens, also known as Helektra, is the demigod of the Ocean, having passed the trial of the titan Phagousa. Her lore ties closely to Honkai: Star Rail's Cerydra, as she once supported Cerydra in a pivotal battle to defend Okhema. Though Hysilens perished before the game's events, her legacy endures. Notably, she is skilled in music, adding another layer to her character.

The game has a history of reviving characters, such as Tingyun's return as Fugue. Fans are curious how Hysilens' story will unfold. Meanwhile, the recent addition of Cipher, another Nihility unit, has already made waves as a top-tier support for follow-up attack teams.
