HoYoverse recently revealed Cerydra as an upcoming 5-star character in Honkai Star Rail via its drip marketing campaign. Designated as the Chessmaster Monarch, this Chrysos Heir comes from Amphoreus’ Northern Empire, a lost dynasty, where frozen lands burn with ambitions of conquest.

As a demigod, Cerydra wields the Coreflame of Law to challenge the gods and pass judgment upon the faithless. She is also tasked with guiding other Chryos Heirs into inheriting the power of Titans, saving humanity in the process.

Here’s how Cerydra introduced herself in the official announcement:

"'Flamebearer,' 'Tyrant,' 'Empress,' 'Supreme Commander,' 'Imperator'... The world has given me countless titles, but you may simply call me by my true name — Cerydra."

Rarity: 5-star
Element: Wind
Path: Harmony

When could Cerydra release in HSR?

HoYoverse conducted the recent drip marketing campaign for version 3.5, so Cerydra will debut in the same patch. Based on the order in which she was revealed, her banner will arrive in the second phase. The first half will likely be reserved for Hysilens.

Cerydra is expected to release on September 3, 2025, if the game follows the six-week update and 21-day banner cycle.
