Honkai Star Rail Firefly: Leaked Kit, Speculated Release Date & Eidolons

Honkai Star Rail 2.1 version revealed a lot of secrets, including Firefly being Sam of the Stellaron Hunters. Sam was previously leaked to be a playable character, and now Honkai Star Rail’s recent Drip Marketing campaign has confirmed that Firefly will feature in the Honkai Star Rail 2.3 version. If are interested in Firefly and want to know whether it is worth saving Stellar Jades for her, here is everything we know about Firefly’s kit, release date, Traces, and Eidolons from leaks.

HSR Firefly Speculated Release Date

Firefly was featured in the recent HSR 2.3 Drip Marketing campaign, which almost confirms her for the upcoming HSR 2.3 version. If the HSR 2.2 banners follow the normal cycle, then Honkai Star Rail 2.3 is expected to be released on June 18, 2024. This means that Firefly will be released on either June 18 (first-half banner) or July 8 (second-half banner).

HSR Firefly Path, Element Type, Rarity & Drip Marketing

Honkai Star Rail’s recent Drip Marketing campaign featured Firefly, and it has received an amazing reception from HSR players with 6.9 million views and 121k likes on X (Twitter) at the point of writing. The community is glad that she was featured as Firefly and not Sam.

Firefly is a 5-star DPS Destruction character with the Fire damage type. Her Drip Marketing mentions that she was born as a weapon and is afflicted with Entropy Loss Syndrome due to genetic modification. Firefly joined the Stellaron Hunters in search of the meaning of life and to relentlessly pursue ways to defy fate.

Her Drip Marketing makes it sound as if she was a lab experiment, which is something we haven’t learned in the Trailblazing missions. It would be interesting to learn who or what is responsible for her affliction and how it plays into the grand scheme of things.

HSR Firefly Leaked Kit and Traces

Sam’s kit was leaked some time back and we expect it to be around the same for Firefly. It is also rumored that players will be able to change her into Firefly or Sam in battle with a switch button. Now let’s take a closer look at her leaked kit, but remember that the following information is based on leaks so take it with a pinch of salt.

• Basic Attack: Deals Fire Damage to a single target.
• Enhanced basic Attack: Heals a percentage of her Max HP and deals Fire Damage to a single target.
• Skill: Consumes Max HP and deals Fire damage to a single enemy. Regenerates some energy if the attack weakness breaks the targeted enemy.
• Enhanced Skill: Restores a percentage of her Max HP and deals Blast Fire Damage. If the attack weakness breaks at least one of the targets, advances Firefly’s action and deals extra Fire damage to the targets. This damage is considered as Ultimate damage.
• Ultimate: Dispels all debuffs placed on Firefly and enters the Primary Combustion State, which 100% advances her action and summons a Cooldown Kernal on the action bar. The Primary Combustion state ends when the Cooldown Kernal takes action.

• Talent: Reduces damage taken by a percentage of lost HP (max 48%), which is increased in the Primary Combustion state. Her talent also increases her Speed by a fixed value in the Primary Combustion state, increases her damage by a percentage of her Break Effect and switches her Skill and Basic attack into the enhanced form. When Firefly is not in the Primary Combustion state, she will regenerate energy every time her current HP changes, based on the ratio of the HP change to Max HP.
• Technique: Transforms into Primary Combustion State. When Transformed, cannot be spotted by enemies and blocks all incoming attacks. Her move speed is also increased and she ignores all enemies while moving. After transforming, pressing the normal Attack or Technique buttons will attack all enemies in a large area, similar to Kafka and Argenti.

Firefly’s leaked kit suggests very strong DPS and solo sustain abilities. She can constantly heal herself and deal high amounts of damage to enemies. Her kit also allows her to take multiple turns by buffing her speed and forwarding her action. Firefly is looking to be a very strong DPS character with her early leaks.

Firefly’s traces have also been leaked. Let’s take a closer look at her leaked traces too.

• Trace 1: NA
• Trace 2: Increased resistance to Crowd Control Debuffs.
• Trace 3: Increased Fire Damage when in Primary Combustion state.

Honkai Star Rail Firefly Leaked Eidolons

Now that you have taken a look at Firefly’s leaked kit and traces, let’s take a closer look at her leaked Eidolons as well.

• Eidolon 1: Applies Fire Weakness to the main target when using Firefly’s Enhanced Skill. The effect ignores Resistances.
• Eidolon 2: Buff duration is increased by 1 turn.
• Eidolon 3: ??
• Eidolon 4: When in the Primary Combustion state, the Cooldown Kernal is delayed after defeating an enemy. This effect is triggered a limited number of times during each combustion.
• Eidolon 5: ??
• Eidolon 6: Increases damage dealt by Ultimate when in Primary Combustion state.

Firefly’s leaked Eidolons are not that impressive at the moment, but they will likely change over time before her release. Her leaked Eidolon 1 seems the most useful at the moment, giving her targets Fire weakness and ignoring their Resistances.

So, that’s everything we know so far about Firefly. Share your thoughts on Firefly in the comment section, and let us know if you are going to pick her or Jade in the Honkai Star Rail 2.3 banners.
