Why Honkai: Star Rail's New Characters May Be Different in the Amphoreus Arc

Honkai: Star Rail's Amphoreus arc might take a slightly different approach to its featured characters, and that might be a great thing.

A new leak from HomDGCat reported that Phainon would have a second form in the game called Demiurge. This second form could potentially be related to an enemy boss as well. Previous Honkai: Star Rail leaks about Amphoreus characters suggested that Phainon and the rest of the teased characters would eventually join the playable roster as 5-star units. If the rumors turn out to be true, Phainon would be both playable and an elite boss in the game. HomDGCat didn't specify whether Phainon's Demiurge form would change his human-like design or not, but Honkai: Star Rail have experience using this two-form formula regardless. For example, characters like Argenti and Kafka are both playable units and enemy bosses that carry the same in-game model for both scenarios. Meanwhile, Sunday's boss is a complete transformation of its normal playable model.

Who is Honkai: Star Rail's Phainon?

As part of the HoYoverse multiverse, Honkai: Star Rail has several versions of Honkai Impact 3rd sign. These counterparts are known as Expys among fans. While Seele and Bronya keep their names in both games, other characters like Luocha only have their appearance as an indicator of being Expys. Phainon bears a striking resemblance to Honkai Impact 3rdKevin Kaslana, so players have been speculating that he will be the next counterpart to be introduced. Additionally, the Amphoreus trailer mentions that Phainon will “begin the great mission of liberation.” Honkai Impact 3rd players may remember that “Deliverance” is also Kevin Kaslana's code name, so this could be another reference to their link.

While Phainon is only rumored to become playable in the future, another member of Crysos Heirs has been confirmed to join the roster in version 3.0. Aglaea will be a 5-star Remembrance unit that will debut in Honkai: Star Railnext banner together with The Herta. Honkai: Star Rails exciting Amphoreus chapter is coming to the game in January 2025.
