Honkai: Star Rail Leaks New Boss for Simulated Universe
A new leak shared by prominent HoYoverse leaker HomDGCat is teasing the boss variant of Aventurine’s addition to the Simulated Universe. According to the leak, Simulated Universe Aventurine will feature three phases, combined with a unique gambling mechanic revolving around dice. In the final phase of the boss fight, Aventurine’s dice rolls will be purposely rigged to give him higher results, with gambling and attacking dice affecting a character’s HP. Winning Aventurine’s gambling challenges will reward characters with higher damage, based on the HP lost during the gambling session.
The Aventurine boss fight is expected to feature similar mechanics within the Simulated Universe to his appearance in Honkai: Star Rail‘s main story. Players will need to carefully manage Aventurine’s gambling mechanic, with the gimmick offering significant buffs for winning the gamble against him. Aventurine’s weaknesses are also expected to be similar, with Quantum characters like Kafka and Acheron expected to be an effective choice for the fight. The Aventurine Simulated Universe boss is expected to release with Version 2.3, currently slated to launch on June 18.
Version 2.3 is set to be a major update for Honkai: Star Rail fans with one of the game’s most anticipated characters confirmed to debut. Version 2.3 will welcome the long-awaited release of Firefly within Honkai: Star Rail, one of the most highly-anticipated members of Penacony’s main cast. Joining Firefly in Version 2.3 will be Jade, a new five-star Quantum character within Honkai: Star Rail‘s AoE damage-focused Erudition Path. Between new bosses and new characters, Honkai: Star Rail players have plenty to look forward to with Version 2.3’s June launch.
