Honkai: Star Rail Leaks New Five-Star Light Cones
A Honkai: Star Rail leak shows new Light Cones that will allegedly have a five-star rarity and provide the wearer with a passive ability.
A new Honkai: Star Rail leak from Dimbreath has revealed gameplay animations for Firefly, showing the mechanical armor that she wears after using Ultimate. Firefly’s standard form has a simple basic attack with a slashing effect. When she enters the Complete Combustion state, the character shows her mecha form that wields dual blades.
Honkai: Star Rail’s Firefly Has A Mecha Form That Uses Dual Blades
Upon using ultimate, Firefly’s mecha form pulls out dual blades and launches a series of attacks that deal single-target damage. Besides, she performs signature kick moves while Complete Combustion is inactive.
Honkai: Star Rail‘s Firefly is a five-star character who treads on the path of Destruction and dishes out Fire damage. Wearing a set of mecha armor, she fits into the DPS role and scales off ATK. Moreover, Firefly has pretty good survivability due to her versatile kit that provides health regeneration and damage reduction. She looks to be a viable choice for any Destruction team without a top-tier DPS.
As for Firefly’s story, she previously appeared in a version 2.0 quest, during which Gallagher saved her from being arrested in Penacony. The character has been an illegal immigrant of the Reverie since her homeland was destroyed. She shares a common goal with Honkai: Star Rail‘s Gallagher and Robin – to go after the Watchmaker’s legacy.
Aside from Firefly, Honkai: Star Rail version 2.3 will introduce players to Jade, another five-star character that treads on the Erudition path. She deals a certain amount of Quantum damage and scales off ATK. Upon using her technique, Jade inflicts enemies with the Blind Fealty effect and prevents them from attacking allies. Moreover, the character gains Effect resistance, ATK, and DMG boost at higher levels.
