Honkai: Star Rail
News
Huohuo is an upcoming 5-star Wind character coming to Honkai Star Rail. She is accompanied by Tail, her spiritual companion. Finally we have a new healer!
Huohuo is an upcoming 5-star Wind character in Honkai Star Rail on the Path of Abundance. Yes, we’re going to have a new healer character! According to the lore she will have a talking spirit companion Tail and might well be a fun addition to the cast based on her fear of demons and her reputation as a “cursed one”.

Huohuo release date
Huohuo will be part of Version 1.5 launching on November 15. HuoHuo’sbanner will be in Phase 2. This was confirmed on the Honkai Star Rail Special Program on November 3. Huohuo, a “magnet for evil” will be a key character in the five chapter upcoming version. Her kit offers HP and energy regen, plus an ATK DMG buff to all allies.
Huohuo kit and abilities
Huohuo’s kit is impressive and offers healing, energy restoration and an ATK DMG boost. While we do not have her confirmed Eidolons and Traces, we do know her official abilities. The synergy between her Skill and Talent will allow Huohuo to heal allies two separate ways. Interestingly, her ultimate does not offer healing but instead energy restoration and an ATK damage boost.
Huohuo Kit
The leaks which came out in May around Huohuo were fairly accurate, apart from the names of the abilities and her Talent has been changed. Instead of bestowing one of two buffs for HP or Energy, Huohuo’s official Talent only restores HP. However, it can now do so if an ally casts their ultimate, not just if they begin their turn.

Huohuo lore in Honkai Star Rail
Huohuo is a pitiable and helpless Foxian girl, who is also a Ten-Lords Commission Judge-in-training. Huohuo fears ghosts but has to catch them as part of her position.
Huohuo has aHeliobusnamed Tail - a shapeless species made of pure energy - she has become a “cursed one” who attracts inhuman beings.

“She fears demons and heliobi, but contrarily is tasked with their capture and entrusted with the heavy task of eradicating vile spirits. Though she believes herself lacking in ability, she is unable to muster the courage to resign and continues onward despite walking in a valley of her own fear.”
MiHoYo interestingly announced two English voice actors for Huohuo on social media, which means her Heliobus Tail is likely to be a talking companion.

Huohuo Character design - Honkai meets Genshin Impact
In terms of her design, Huohuo in seems like a cross between the lore and concept of Hutao and the design and personality of Sucrose from Genshin Impact. Sucrose is a very timid Anemo (Wind) character while Hutao is an eccentric prankster whose day job is as a funeral manager dealing with the afterlife.
It’s refreshing to see Honkai Star Rail experiment with characters with more unusual personalities, and Huohuo should be a great addition.
