Fresh details have emerged about the much-anticipated Honkai: Star Rail character Castorice, as fans eagerly await her in-game debut. According to newly leaked information, this character will significantly impact gameplay by strategically draining her allies’ health points and unleashing massive damage through her memosprite, “Dead Dragon.” Gamers can look forward to adding her to their roster once she launches in Version 3.2, alongside another five-star character, Anaxa.
As we approach Honkai: Star Rail’s Version 3.1 update, HoYoverse is already stirring excitement for the next patch. Leaks have begun to circulate, offering fans a glimpse into what the future holds, particularly with the introduction of Castorice and Anaxa on the gacha banners. The focus is on Castorice, a character players have been eagerly anticipating from the teaser campaigns.
Castorice, a standout figure from Honkai: Star Rail’s Amphoreus teasers, is introduced as the Chrysos Heir linked to the “Thanatos” Titan, the god of death. She plays a pivotal role in the Version 3.0 storyline, interacting with the Trailblazer and Dan Heng during the unfolding events at Okhema. Now, players can delve into the details of her gameplay, thanks to these leaks.
Details from well-known leaker Dim reveal the specifics of Castorice’s in-game abilities. Her Basic Attack dishes out Quantum damage based on her Max HP, while her Skill takes a toll on allies’ HP to inflict AoE Quantum Damage. Much like other Remembrance characters, Castorice’s Ultimate calls upon “Dead Dragon,” enhancing her Skill and reducing enemies’ resistances. Her Talent capitalizes on HP lost by her team, bumping up her damage output, and her Technique allows her to begin combat with “Dead Dragon” in play.
A closer look at her stats reveals a comprehensive breakdown: her HP stands at 1,629, with an Attack of 523, Defense at 485, Speed of 95, and a Taunt level of 100. Her Eidolons add an extra layer of strategy and power. For example, Snowland’s Holy Maiden greatly boosts damage when the “Dead Dragon” uses “Dimscorch Breath,” while And Crowns with Flowers Aflutter enhances her strategic arsenal by offsetting health costs and increasing her damage after summoning the memosprite.
The Traces further empower Castorice by enhancing critical rate and Quantum damage, alongside added benefits like increased speed when certain conditions are met and extra healing funneled to her memosprite. When Dead Dragon exits the field, the Traces ensure allies receive a healing boost based on Castorice’s remaining HP.
Castorice’s Skills range from her basic Quantum Damage attack to an Enhanced Skill that consumes a significant portion of her allies’ HP for a coordinated assault with Dead Dragon. Her Ultimate not only fast-tracks her Dragon’s actions but also diminishes enemy resistances, adding a strategic edge to her kit. The Talent and Technique systems increase in complexity with “Stamen Nova,” a resource managed by allies’ HP loss, ultimately maximizing her damage potential.
The leaked information also highlights her power surges from developing her Traces and Eidolons. Traces significantly enhance her critical and Quantum damage, while her Eidolons introduce new mechanics to improve healing and amplify Dead Dragon’s capabilities.
As players gear up for Version 3.1’s imminent release, featuring new characters Tribbie and Mydei, and various events like “The Awooo Firm,” Castorice is shaping up to be a formidable addition in Version 3.2. Set to release on April 8, she promises to bring dynamic gameplay elements to this sci-fi RPG. Fans are no doubt counting the days until they can experience all that Castorice has to offer in the ever-evolving world of Honkai: Star Rail.
