HSR Cipher Leaks: Kit, Signature Light Cone & Speculated Release Date

Cipher is set to be the next playable demi-god from Amphoreus in Honkai: Star Rail. As a 5-star Nihility character specializing in Quantum damage, she is expected to be a strong Sub-DPS. With her anticipated debut in version 3.3, leaks suggest her abilities, Eidolons, and signature Light Cone will make her a valuable addition to any team. Below is an overview of what’s currently known about her kit and whether she’s worth saving for.


Cipher’s Rarity, Element, Path & Base Stats (Leaked)


Cipher’s Release Date in Honkai Star Rail

Cipher is rumored to arrive in the second phase of Version 3.3, which is projected for early June 2025. Her inclusion in the Drip Marketing campaign confirms her release in this update, alongside another character, Hyacine. Players looking to summon Cipher should start saving Stellar Jade, and using Honkai Star Rail redemption codes can help maximize resources before her banner drops.


Cipher’s Leaked Abilities & Kit

Leaked details about Cipher’s abilities have surfaced on Reddit, though final adjustments may occur before her official release. Below is a breakdown of her skillset:

  • Basic Attack: Deals Quantum damage to a single target based on Cipher’s Attack stat.
  • Skill: Applies “Foretold” status to an enemy, dealing Quantum damage to that target and nearby foes.
  • Ultimate: Strikes a primary enemy with Quantum damage, followed by True Damage calculated from her Wealth Bond value. This resets the “Wealth Bond” for the next cycle.
  • Talent: At the start of any ally’s turn, if no enemies have “Foretold”, the effect is applied automatically to a random enemy with the highest HP. When an ally attacks a Foretold enemy, Cipher performs a follow-up Quantum attack.
  • Technique: Cipher enters a Stealth mode, boosting movement speed while collecting Treasures. If she initiates combat in this state, all enemies take Quantum damage.

Additional Traces

  • Trace 1: Reduces the enemy’s defense while Cipher is active.
  • Trace 2: The “Wealth Bond” also records damage taken by adjacent enemies of those afflicted with “Foretold” (excluding True Damage).
  • Trace 3: Increases Follow-up Attack damage and boosts the rate at which “Wealth Bond” is built, based on Cipher’s Crit Rate.

Cipher appears to be an ideal Sub-DPS for teams relying on follow-up attacks and True Damage. She could complement Feixiao teams or enhance Hypercarry setups with Acheron.


Cipher’s Signature Light Cone (Leaked Information)

Cipher’s exclusive 5-star Light Cone is rumored to strengthen her Crit Rate and weaken enemy defenses. Details include:

  • Name: Not yet revealed
  • Rarity: 5-star
  • Path: Nihility
  • Effect: Enhances the wearer’s Crit Rate and reduces enemy defense when using their Skill. If the Skill results in a Critical Hit, the defense reduction becomes even more significant.

Cipher’s Eidolons (Leaked)

Cipher’s Eidolons, also leaked online, appear to enhance her damage output and energy recovery:

  • E1: Increases damage received by enemies under the “Foretold” status.
  • E2: Boosts Follow-up Attack damage and restores energy after triggering a follow-up attack.
  • E4: Allies who attack a “Foretold” enemy deal additional Quantum damage to that target and nearby foes.
  • E6: Enhances Cipher’s overall damage and allows her to retain a portion of the last recorded Wealth Bond value after using her Ultimate.

Her Eidolons seem to provide incremental boosts to her damage potential and energy efficiency, with E2 being particularly impactful due to its potential for faster Ultimate rotations.


Should You Save for Cipher in Honkai Star Rail?

Based on leaks, Cipher seems poised to become a meta-relevant Sub-DPS, excelling in debuffing enemies and triggering powerful follow-up attacks. If her kit remains intact upon release, she could be a strong choice for Quantum-based Nihility teams.
