Honkai Star Rail: Cipher Leaked Kit & Signature Light Cone & Eidolons

According to official information, Cipher will debut in the second half of the Version 3.3 banner. Among all the Chrysos Heir introduced so far, she remains the most mysterious—with no known whereabouts and no public appearances.

What surprises will this enigmatic Chrysos Heir bring? What’s your first impression of Cipher? Are you more excited about her gameplay mechanics or intrigued by her backstory? Check out the latest leaks below and find out!

Basic Info: "Fleet-Footed Traveler"

Cipher is a 5-star limited Quantum Nihility character, specializing in high-frequency follow-up attacks. Her core mechanics focus on reducing enemy DEF and swirling single-target damage to nearby enemies.

She is also a Chrysos Heir of the "Trickery" Coreflame, having inherited Zagreus’s Coreflame and ascended to the rank of demigod. However, unlike other Chrysos Heirs, Cipher has been missing for quite some time—even Aglaea has no knowledge of her whereabouts.

Her secret text is: "Homeward you come, distant wind."

Based on what we know so far, Cipher seems to have chosen to evade responsibility after becoming a demigod, possibly due to learning a truth she was powerless to change—as if ignoring bad news would make it disappear.

However, her secret text suggests that, in the end, she has made up her mind to return. What exactly awaits her? We’ll have to wait for Version 3.3 to find out!

In the meantime, don’t miss out on Cipher’s essential character details:

 

Cipher’s Signature Light Cone

• Increases the wearer's SPD by 18% (30%).

• After using an attack, there is a 120% base chance to inflict "Bamboozle" on all enemies. "Bamboozled" enemies have their DEF reduced by 18% (30%) for 2 turns.

• "Theft" causes enemy targets to have DEF reduced by 12% (20%) for 2 turns. If the wearer's SPD is ≥170, there is a 120% base chance to also inflict "Theft".

• When "Bamboozle" or "Theft" is applied again, only the most recent effect takes effect.
