Blade is one of my favorite HSR characters - and what's better than one? Two. Honkai Star Rail's Mortenax Blade joins the roster as a support-based character who can work with most DPS options quite nicely.

Here's everything we know so far about Honkai Star Rail's Mortenax Blade:
Honkai Star Rail Mortenax Blade release date speculation
Mortenax Blade will likely release into Honkai Star Rail in June 2026, judging by his drip marketing. You can get him and his signature light cone on the associated HSR banners.
Who is Mortenax Blade?
Ol' Morty is largely the same as HSR's Blade, except this time, he's a fire-user and follows the path of nihility. He's also a five-star unit, as four-stars don't exist in HSR anymore.
We all know regular Blade as a member of the Stellaron Hunters, and a stoic one at that, who can heal himself and simply not die. Mortenax will likely be similar. The only real difference in appearance is that his coat colors are now reversed, with red on the outside and blue on the inside. That, and he doesn't wear a shirt, just bandages.
Some fun facts about him - Mortenax placed first in the Xianzhou's Number One Assassin Center Audition and the Stellaron Hunter Life Skills test.
The most interesting tidbit from this character reveal is a tiny piece of text in the top right of his drip marketing. It says, "May this journey lead us starward. All aboard the Astral Express." These lines - the first in particular - have shown up time and again on drip marketing, but so far, Mortenax Blade is the only version four character whose announcement features them, leading some people to suggest that he might join the Express crew for a time after the Phantasmoon Games conclude.
There are leaks that show what Blade does in combat, which is provide support to his teammates instead of taking the main stage as a DPS.
Who are Mortenax Blade's voice actors?
As a new version of an existing character, Mortenax Blade shares the same voice actors as the original Blade:
- English - Daman Mills
- Chinese - Liu Yijia
- Japanese - Miki Shin-ichiro
- Korean - Kwak Yoon-sang
