New Honkai Star Rail version 4.2 leaks hint at Yae Sakura being the anniversary character

As mentioned, the upcoming anniversary character in Honkai Star Rail version 4.2 will likely be Yae Sakura. This information comes from a reliable source, Anon Leaks. Those familiar with the Honkai universe or Honkai Impact 3rd in particular will know who Yae Sakura is.

According to the leak, Yae Sakura in Honkai Star Rail is expected to follow the Elation Path, which will likely be introduced to Trailblazers in version 4.0, similar to how HoYoverse made the Remembrance playable in HSR version 3.0. Moreover, her Element is expected to be Ice, which is highly subject to change.

Yae Sakura in HSR is speculated to be an expy, similar to Cyrene and Phainon. Additionally, her character design is primarily based on Night Parade of One Hundred Demons and a member of the Elation Battleship. Since some time is left for the next anniversary patch, the developers could alter some key elements of the character.
