Honkai: Star Railrecently released its 3.3 update, which added the 5-Star characters Hyacine and Cipher. The former is a Wind Remembrance unit that also provides party-wide healing, while the latter is a Quantum Nihility character that pairs well with follow-up attack teams.

A video shared by the prominent leaker Firefly has revealeda new Amphoreus map areacoming in the 3.4 patch. The footage begins with Cyrene as an NPC at a small fishing port. The area features objects like chests, Space Anchors, and a Garmentmaker, which suggests it is an explorable zone that players could return to. As seen in the leaked video, the zone seems to be a small village filled with wheat fields and houses with very few NPCs in sight. This map is likely Phainon and Cyrene’s hometown, Aedes Elysiae, as it fits the description given by the former character in previous missions. Interestingly enough, Phainon had revealed that Aedes Elysiae was destroyed by the Flame Reaver prior to the game’s events.
