Honkai Star Rail v1.1: New Xueyi leaks showcase her abilities, elements, and more

Element and Rarity

Based on leaks from various reliable sources, it has been confirmed that Xueyi will debut as a 4-star unit in Honkai Star Rail. She will wield Quantum element and follows the path of destruction. Currently, players up-to-date with the Xianzhou Luofu Trailblazer missions will have already met her as an NPC character. She is a puppet and works as one of the judges in the Ten-Lord Commission.

Upon release, she will be the second playable puppet character after Herta in the roster.


Xueyi kit leaks

As someone who follows the Path of Destruction, players can expect Xueyi's kit to be versatile with AoE attacks, self-buffs, and follow-up attacks in Honkai Star Rail. Here is a summarized version of her entire kit:

  • Skill: AoE attack to deal damage to multiple enemies (based on ATK)
  • Ultimate: Single target damage. The damage can ignore the opponent's weakness and decrease tenacity. She will gain a Vendatta stack with each layer, increasing the damage dealt.
  • Talent: Attacking an enemy will give one Vendatta stack. A maximum of six stacks can be collected to launch a follow-up attack immediately. Quantum weakness enemies will receive more damage.
  • Technique: Deal Quantum damage randomly to all enemies when entering the battle.

The Star Rail community speculates that tenacity might refer to defense or toughness.


Leaked images of character model and weapon

The tweet above shows Xueyi's leaked render model, which should already be available in the game. Although there are no leaks about Xueyi's weapon, one of the videos shows a glimpse of her running with two swords. Hence, players can assume her to be a double-sword user in upcoming versions.
