Honkai: Star Rail Leak Suggests No Hunt Characters in Amphoreus
A new leak shared byHonkai: Star Railleaker “Uncle Jtt5CPW” is suggesting amajor absence fromHonkai: Star Rail’s Amphoreus lineup. According to the leak,Honkai: Star Rail’s Amphoreus cycle will not feature a single character from the Hunt Path as part of its new character releases. The change would come as the single-target DPS-focused Path has not seen a new addition to the game’s roster sincethe release of Feixiao in Version 2.5. The Hunt received four new characters throughout Penacony’s cycle, with Moze, Boothill, and March 7th’s Hunt variant alongside Feixiao.
The absence of any Hunt characters from Amphoreus' release cycle would join an increasing shift towards AoE damage with its newer characters.The Herta brought a major upgradefor teams focused around the Erudition Path, with much of her kit focused around AoE damage and benefitting other AoE units. The Herta also features a unique Trace granting her allies a massive 80% boost to her teammates' Crit DMG when she is paired with other Erudition characters.
While the future is uncertain for The Hunt characters in Amphoreus, HoYoverse has already begun to tease the next additions to the game’s roster. Version 3.1 will welcome two more important characters from Amphoreus' early story to the game, with Mydei and Tribbie set to join the playable cast.Tribbie is particularly expected to be a unique additiontoStar Rail, with the Harmony character leaked to feature gameplay more focused on damage than support. While The Hunt may be lacking from Amphoreus' lineup,Honkai: Star Raillooks to continue to introduce unconventional new options to players' teams.
