Recent leaks from the Honkai: Star Rail community suggest that Firefly, the fourth playable Stellaron Hunter introduced in Version 2.3, might be next in line for character buffs. According to reputable leaker Luna, these adjustments could arrive during the first half of 2026, potentially coinciding with a major story update.

Since the Amphoreus update launched in early 2025, developer HoYoverse has been systematically enhancing older characters like Blade and Kafka to maintain their viability in the evolving meta. These optional buffs allow players to choose whether to adopt the improved versions or stick with the original character iterations.

Community response has been largely positive, with many players noting that Firefly's Ultimate meter fills too slowly for optimal gameplay. The potential buffs could address this issue while maintaining her signature Complete Combustion State transformation that makes her unique among Honkai: Star Rail characters.

Firefly's Current Abilities Overview

• Basic ATK: Order: Flare Propulsion
• Enhanced Basic ATK: Fyrefly Type-IV: Pyrogenic Decimation
• Skill: Order: Aerial Bombardment
• Enhanced Skill: Fyrefly Type-IV: Deathstar Overload
• Ultimate: Fyrefly Type-IV: Complete Combustion

During the Penacony storyline, Firefly became a staple in team compositions due to her exceptional Break Damage capabilities. While the current meta has shifted, she remains effective against Amphoreus enemies when paired with proper support characters that boost her damage output and resistance penetration.

The leaks arrive as Honkai: Star Rail continues its Fate/Stay Night crossover event in Version 3.4, featuring Saber and Archer as limited-time playable characters. This special collaboration will run through the first half of Version 3.6, giving players ample time to experience the crossover content while progressing through the main storyline.
