Hysilens (5-Star, Nihility, Physical), Asta (4-Star, Harmony, Fire), Arlan (4-Star, Destruction, Lightning), and Hook (4-Star, Destruction, Fire)
Kafka (5-Star, Nihility, Lightning), Asta (4-Star, Harmony, Fire), Arlan (4-Star, Destruction, Lightning), and Hook (4-Star, Destruction, Fire)

Patience Is All You Need (5-Star, Nihility), Eyes of the Prey (4-Star, Nihility), Poised to Bloom (4-Star, Harmony), and Indelible Promise (4-Star, Destruction)

Hysilens

Hysilens, Cerydra’s trusted lieutenant and military strategist, possesses the ability to impose multiple penalties on opponents, amplifying the damage they sustain while simultaneously lowering their Attack (ATK) and Defense (DEF). In her Ultimate form, she automatically administers additional Damage over Time (DoT) to enemies already affected by DoT. Furthermore, Hysilens applies DoT whenever allies strike foes, making her an ideal fit for teams specializing in Damage over Time compositions.

Kafka

In simpler terms, Kafka, the Stellaron Hunter, is a potent dealer of damage over time (DoT) in the game HSR 3.4 and beyond. Her role is not only to inflict massive amounts of DoT but also to boost her team’s attacking power. This makes her an essential component in teams focused on dealing damage over time, continuing to play a crucial role in such compositions.

HSR 3.5 banners: Phase 2

Commencing on August 27, 2025, Phase 2 of HSR 3.5 will span over a duration of three weeks. During this interval, you’ll have access to these specific characters and Light Cones.

Cerydra (5-Star, Harmony, Wind), Sampo (4-Star, Nihility, Wind), Qingque (4-Star, Erudition, Quantum), and Dan Heng (4-Star, Hunt, Wind)
Silver Wolf (5-Star, Nihility, Quantum), Sampo (4-Star, Nihility, Wind), Qingque (4-Star, Erudition, Quantum), and Dan Heng (4-Star, Hunt, Wind)
Epoch Etched in Golden Blood (5-Star, Harmony), The Birth of the Self (4-Star, Erudition), Swordplay (4-Star, Hunt), and Good Night and Sleep Well (4-Star, Nihility)
Incessant Rain (5-Star, Nihility), The Birth of the Self (4-Star, Erudition), Swordplay (4-Star, Hunt), and Good Night and Sleep Well (4-Star, Nihility)

Cerydra

Cerydra, the esteemed Chess Master Monarch, has the ability to boost her allies’ attack power, critical damage, and resistance penetration. She enhances these units even more by adding extra damage to their attacks and potentially increasing their speed. Notably, the buffed unit can also activate the Coup de Main effect, enabling them to utilize their skill twice in quick succession.

Silver Wolf

In simpler terms, Silver Wolf is a powerful character who weakens opponents. Much like Kafka, she received enhancements in HSR 3.4. Her unique ability lies in reducing the defense of enemies and applying multiple Weakness Types more effectively following these updates, giving her greater control over the battlefield.

HSR x Fate UBW banners

The Fate UBW collaboration banner will remain available throughout Version 3.5.

Saber (5-Star, Destruction, Wind)
Archer (5-Star, Hunt, Quantum)
A Thankless Coronation (5-Star, Destruction)
The Hell Where Ideals Burn (5-Star, Hunt)

Saber

Saber is a character who specializes in dealing damage with ATK, and she’s particularly skilled at regenerating Energy for herself, which speeds up her use of the powerful Excalibur – her ultimate ability. When Saber activates her ultimate, she can also perform an enhanced basic attack that targets all enemies on the battlefield, making her a threat not only to single targets but also to entire waves.

Archer

Archer excels at taking out individual targets and has the ability to utilize his skill multiple times within the same turn by spending extra skill points. Much like Sparkle who makes an excellent team member for him, Archer increases the maximum Skill Points (SP) of the team and gains advantages when the team has a high number of SP. Furthermore, Archer can perform Follow-Up Attacks that restore SP as long as he has Charge points available to spend.
