Honkai Star Rail Firefly release date speculation

Who is Firefly?

Firefly is a member of the Stellaron Hunters and is better known as Honkai Star Rail’s Sam. She was born and raised as a weapon and suffers from Entropy Loss Syndrome, which is why she wears the armor and works alongside the likes of Honkai Star Rail’s Blade and Honkai Star Rail’s Silver Wolf, searching for the meaning of life.

Firefly’s English voice actor is Analesa Fisher, who you may recognize from Genshin Impact and Cookie Run: Kingdom. Adin Rudd provides Sam’s voice and you might have heard him portray Artur in Fire Emblem Heroes, or Chatterbox is Goddess of Victory: Nikke.

What is Firefly’s path and element?

Firefly is a five-star fire character who walks the path of Destruction. This means she can hit hard and survive well in combat, likely making her a great main DPS option. Her fire element could also grant her use of the burn debuff like Honkai Star Rail’s Guinaifen, but we’ll have to wait for the version 2.3 livestream for more details of her kit.
