Exciting Upgrades for Trailblazer

The leaked information, shared by renowned HoYoverse leaker HomDGCat, reveals that the Trailblazer’s next version will be transformed into the Imaginary element and the Harmony path, solidifying the character as a valuable support asset for teams.

The leak also reveals that the Trailblazer’s Skill will provide allies with a “Blessing” buff, dealing extra damage when allies trigger Skills or Weakness Breaks. They will also introduce a unique mechanic granting enemies a secondary Toughness bar that can be broken for bonuses. Additionally, their Ultimate will boost ally Break Effect.

Exciting Simulated Universe Additions

New Curios with Strategic Impact

As players progress through the Simulated Universe chambers, they can find and utilize powerful Curios. While most provide buffs, some have negative effects that must be carefully weighed. These items force players to strategize around their impact.

Propagation Blessing to Boost Basic Attacks

A leaked “Blessing of Propagation” will increase all party members’ basic ATK damage. This significantly benefits characters focused on normal attacks like Imbibitor Lunae.

Resonance Interplay for Synergy

An exciting new Resonance Interplay system will allow combining two chosen Path Resonances/Blessings. This unlocks new synergies and optimization strategies using hand-picked combinations.

With Resonance Interplay, players can meticulously craft team comps to maximize paired Resonances strengths against Simulated Universe challenges.

Trailblazer Power Cap Increase

With Honkai Star Rail’s next big update 1.3 on the horizon, leaks from test servers are giving players a sneak peek at what’s to come. Most notably, it appears update 1.3 will increase the current Trailblazer Power cap from 180 to 240.

The cap increase means players will be able to complete more content before needing to wait for their Trailblazer Power to fully regenerate. Currently, the 180 cap requires 18 hours for full regeneration. The new 240 cap will extend that to a full 24 hours.

New Area Revealed: Aurum Alley

Update 1.3 is also rumored to introduce a new permanent area called Aurum Alley to the China-inspired Xianzhou Luofu planet. As a new fixture on the map, Aurum Alley will likely feature new enemies, treasures, and a special event mini-game focused on management gameplay.
