Hysilens Is Next Honkai: Star Rail Playable Chrysos Heirs Character

HoYoVerse confirmed that when the 3.5 update arrives for Honkai: Star Rail, Hysilens will debut as the new playable Chrysos Heirs character in the cast, though we also heard of her before this under the name Helektra. She's associated with Okhema and Styxia in-game. She’ll be a five-star unit when she debuts. The initial Hysilens reveal brought up the path and element Helektra will follow in Honkai: Star Rail. She’s a Nihility character, which means she’ll focus on negative status effects for enemies like fellow Chrysos Heir Cipher. She’ll deal Physical damage when she attacks. This means she’ll be the first five-star Physical Nihility character in the game. The only other character with that path and element is Luka, and he’s a four-star. So far, we’ve seen quite a few playable members of this Chrysos Heirs group in Honkai: Star Rail, which sort of mirrors the Honkai Impact 3rd Thirteen Flame-Chasers. Aglaea ended up being the first to appear. She was followed by Tribbie and Mydei. Anaxa and Castorice showed up after that. Then Hyacine and Cipher launched in 3.3, with Aglaea’s rerun happening alongside Cipher’s debut in the second half. When 3.4 debuts on July 2, 2025, we should see Phainon. While it is a little more obvious who some characters are designed to resemble, as Phainon is obviously Kevin and Aglaea is Aponia, it isn’t clear who Hysilens could be the expy of at the moment. It is possible she could be tied to Eden, since both have an element of celebrity and performance associated with them. Honkai: Star Rail is available for the PS5, PC, and mobile devices, and we’ll see Hysilens debut in the game in patch 3.5.
