An interesting Honkai: Star Rail leak has revealed a wealth of information about a new character expected to arrive in the coming months. Since its release, Honkai: Star Rail has generally followed a pattern of releasing at least two new five-star characters per update, one for each banner cycle.
As the roster of playable characters has expanded, HoYoverse introduced the double banner mechanic, allowing Honkai to feature two five-star units per banner cycle. The ongoing double banner offers two popular characters: the new Erudition Imaginary user, Rappa, and the popular DPS unit, Imbibitor Lunae, who is considered the five-star version of Dan Heng.

A recent revenue chart reveals impressive sales numbers for HoYoverse’s popular games, Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail, recorded in October 2024.
Unlike most other HoYoverse titles, Honkai: Star Rail has been introducing five-star versions of its four-star units. Fugue, one of the most recently introduced characters, is the five-star form of a popular four-star character in Honkai: Star Rail named Tingyun. Even though Fugue has yet to officially join the playable roster, recent Honkai: Star Rail leaks have revealed a lot of information about a new character expected to be the five-star version of Herta. The official storyline has confirmed that Herta is a member of the Genius Society, and she appears as a puppet modeled after her younger self. A new post on the Honkai: Star Rail Leaks subreddit has provided additional information about Herta’s five-star form, which will apparently arrive in Version 3.0.
Honkai: Star Rail Leaks Details About Herta’s 5-star Form
- The new character’s face is almost identical to the current version of Herta.
- She wears a white scarf.
- Her weapon is a large staff shaped like a key.
- Herta’s new form will retain the same combat path and type.
The fact that Herta’s new form keeps the same Erudition path suggests that her kit may have significant potential when fighting groups of enemies. Currently, the Path of Erudition is one of the least favored combat paths in Honkai: Star Rail, and many fans hope the new Herta could change that.
Another reason players expect the five-star Herta to be an S-tier character in Honkai: Star Rail is the fact that she’s anticipated to arrive in Version 3.0, which is expected to be one of the game’s largest updates. According to recent leaks, Herta’s new form won’t be the only new five-star character in this update.
Credible leakers have revealed that she will be joined by Aglaea, a mysterious character whose story is still unknown. Rumors suggest that Aglaea will also deal Ice damage, but she will follow the Path of Destruction, indicating she might be a new DPS unit in Honkai: Star Rail.
