Honkai Star Rail Fugue: Leaks, Abilities, and Complete Guide

<p>Fugue stands out as one of the most eagerly awaited character introductions in Honkai Star Rail. Here’s a comprehensive overview of what we know about Tingyun’s alternate form.

Following the official announcement of Fugue by HoYoverse, insiders related to Honkai Star Rail have disclosed additional insights about this character. The clever Foxian, also referred to as Tingyun, has been confirmed to have survived and now boasts a brand-new form.

This news is certainly exhilarating for fans of Tingyun, especially those hoping for a powerful support character in the form of a 5-star variant.

When will Fugue be released?

As of now, HoYoverse has not announced a release date for Fugue.

However, on October 11, 2024, official promotional content was teased on Honkai Star Rail’s X account during the 2.6 livestream. Typically, HoYoverse previews future banner characters before they are launched, which suggests that Fugue could make her debut in the second phase of the Version 2.7 update.

Considering most Honkai Star Rail updates occur in a six-week cycle, it’s likely that the Fugue banner will be launched on December 25, 2024.

Fugue’s Element and Path

Fugue represents Tingyun’s alternate incarnation within Honkai Star Rail.

Fugue is classified as a 5-star character who wields Fire elemental abilities and adheres to the Nihility Path. In contrast to Tingyun’s regular form, which follows the Harmony Path, Fugue’s elemental capabilities and Path are dramatically different.

Tingyun specializes in enhancing her teammates’ abilities, while Fugue focuses on undermining her adversaries and amplifying her allies’ Break Effect.
