Honkai Star Rail: New Guinaifen leaks showcase abilities, element, and more

The Honkai Star Rail community has received several leaks from Team China servers and Mero about an upcoming 4-star character, Guinaifen. Her official splash art (shown in the tweet above) confirms that she will be from Xianzhou Luofu and will make an appearance in a future update.

Based on the new leaks, Guinaifen will be the first Nihility unit with a Fire element. Nihililty characters are specialists when it comes to debuffing enemies or dealing DoT effects on them.

Based on Guinaifen's leaked kit, players can anticipate her becoming a potential 4-star Fire DPS and debuffer. Here is an overview of her entire kit in Star Rail, as shared by Mero:

Skill: Deal elemental damage to the main target and surrounding enemies. If the main target already has the burning effect, the surrounding enemies will also be affected with the same debuff.
Ultimate: Deal Fire damage to all the enemies on the field. Damage is based on her ATK
Talent: Enemies go into "Flame Swallowing" for two turns when Guinaifen attacks using basic attack, skill, ultimate, or technique. Enemies will receive high burning damage at the beginning of each turn.
Technique: Attacks a random enemy with Fire attack immediately after entering battle. Also provides shields to everyone that can withstand any type of damage for two turns.

If the leaked kit turns out to be accurate, Guinaifen will be the first Nihility unit to provide shield to all party members. Currently, there are no Star Rail leaks that shed light on this release. Speculations suggest that she might appear on the upcoming version 1.1 or 1.2 banners.
