<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.
Fugue’s Abilities
Details about two of Fugue’s abilities have leaked ahead of her launch, offering players a peek into her battle performance.
| ABILITY NAME | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| Trace 1 | When a Weakness Break occurs on an enemy, their action is delayed by 15%. If Fugue triggers this Weakness Break, the total action delay can reach 80% (15% + 25% + 15% + 25%). If players utilize the Harmony Trailblazer as the main character, an additional 60% delay can be included, making the overall delay 140%. Moreover, if the Harmony Trailblazer activates an Imaginary Weakness Break, the delay increases further. |
| ABILITY NAME | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| Skill | Select an ally to enhance their Break Effect and enable their attacks to potentially apply a special negative effect called “Blazing Flame” to the target. During this effect, Fugue also receives an increased Basic ATK for three turns. Blazing Flame causes affected enemies to have their DEF lowered by xx%. |
Fugue’s Background
As per HoYoverse’s official description, Fugue is depicted as a “strategic foxian girl, with her appearance, name, and identity taken from her.” Although she has managed to survive, her journey ahead is fraught with the foreboding of annihilation. A glimpse of her narrative reveals:
“Benefactor, even though the Cosmos is vast, and stars fill the night sky, as long as we keep each other in mind, there remains hope for reunion. A strategic foxian girl, with her appearance, name, and identity taken.”
