Summary
Honkai: Star Railhas officially revealed the complete kit for one of the upcoming characters, the new five-star Aglaea. Developer HoYoverse continues its pattern of releasing at least two new five-star characters in everyHonkai: Star Railupdate. The previous update featured the long-awaited Sunday and Fugue, along with two rerun banners for Jing Yuan and Firefly.
Honkai: Star Rail’s new character, Aglaea, has been officially scheduled for the second part of the ongoing Version 3.0 update. The first part of the update also featured a new five-star unit, the Erudition user known as The Herta.
With a couple of days left before Aglaea’s official release,Honkai: Star Railhas released a Character Preview that reveals her complete kit. The unique aspect of Aglaea is that she will be the first five-star character to followHonkai: Star Rail’s new Path of Remembrance. The main characteristic of this new path is that it is tied to the game’s summon mechanic. According to the official announcement, Aglaea will be a DPS character who relies on her Memosprite summon, Garmentmaker, to support her on the battlefield. Aglaea’s Basic Attack is fairly simple, allowing her to deal Lightning damage to a single enemy target. Her Skill enables Aglaea to restore a specific amount of HP to her summon.

If Garmentmaker is absent, using the Skill will summon the newHonkai: Star RailMemospriteonto the field, and it will take immediate action. Aglaea’s Ultimate, Dance Destined Weaveress, has similar effects to her Skill. It allows Aglaea to summon Garmentmaker, and if it is already on the field, its HP will be fully restored. The Ultimate also puts Aglaea into a special stance that grants an SPD boost and enhances her Basic Attack. During this stance, Garmentmaker is immune to Crowd Control debuffs inHonkai: Star Rail.
Meteoric Sunder is the name of Aglaea’s Technique, and it allows her to summon Garmentmaker again, launching a joint attack. The memosprite also has a Skill that deals Lightning damage to one enemy unit and adjacent targets. Many fans seem excited to see how the new Remembrance character will perform on the field. A lot of comments express hope that the new focus on summon mechanics will finally shift the meta away fromHonkai: Star Rail’s Break effects.
When it comes to her role inHonkai: Star Rail’s story, the game has confirmed that Aglaea is a member of Chrysos Heirs, entrusted with the duty of protecting Okhema. Following HoYoverse’s official update schedule, players can expect the second part ofHonkai: Star RailVersion 3.0and Aglaea to arrive on February 5.
