Honkai Star Rail 4.7 ended up being one of the best finales to a Trailblazing arc thus far. It bombarded players with massive lore drops while also giving us one of the best boss fights. Among all this, Luxbane’s name was mentioned at the very end of Honkai Star Rail 4.7, and it has spurred more questions than answers among players. So, who is Luxbane in Honkai Star Rail? And did the Trailblazer really defeat it? Learn all about HSR Luxbane here.
Who is Lord Ravager Luxbane in Honkai Star Rail?
Luxbane is one of the Lord Ravagers of Honkai Star Rail. Lord Ravagers are the Emanators of Destruction, and they are considered one of the biggest threats to the cosmos. In HSR, Luxbane is also known as Sun Devourer. It has been responsible for multiple cosmos-level extinctions and is seen as a natural calamity rather than a defined person.
According to reports from the Intelligentsia Guild, Luxbane has been credited with extinguishing one-third of the stars in the Yvanna Chain within a period of 300 years.
As per the lore, Luxbane is said to have an indescribable shape, so vast that it eclipses suns, blotting out sky and space alike. This is where the nickname Sun Devourer came into existence. Some theories consider it to be a descendant of the Leviathan species, which has been extinct for a long time.
Lord Ravager Luxbane’s Connection to Oroboros and Voracity
According to Aeon Aha, Luxbane has been after Oroboros, the Aeon of Voracity, for quite some time. Although Oroboros has been dead for a long time, its remains have been sealed in Planarcadia. Eventually, it had nearly merged with the Path of Elation and the original body of Aha to create a monstrosity that the Trailblazer had to defeat in version 4.7.
Now, there have been rumors that Luxbane is either created to confront Voracity or Permanence. As already established, every Lord Ravager has been tasked with destroying a path. With Luxbane’s target not determined, its interest in Orobors makes it seem that it was tasked to target Voracity.
However, during the fight against Voracity, the Lord Ravager Luxbane never made an appearance. This was not expected by players, as they had expected Luxbane to play a major role in the story.
But in a complete twist, at the very end of the mission, we learn that Luxbane has been defeated by the Trailblazer, at the same time as they were confronting the mix of Oroboros and real Aha. This came not only as a shock to players, but also to the Trailblazer themselves.
Is HSR Luxbane Dead?
As per the information revealed in the game, HSR Lord Ravager Luxbane has been confirmed to be dead. At the very end of the Honkai Star Rail 4.7 storyline, the Trailblazer comes to know that Luxbane was killed by someone appearing as the Trailblazer in the Yvanna Sector. From examination of its remains, penetrating trauma was said to be the cause of death, suggesting external forces.
Now, how can the Trailblazer be present at both locations? The only possible answer to this question is that the person confronting Luxbane was not the Trailblazer we know.
There is a big possibility that it was a future version of the Trailblazer, likely the one who ended up becoming the Aeon of Finality. We did see a fight between Aha, the Aeon of Elation, and Terminus, the Aeon of Finality, who appeared to be none other than a future version of the Trailblazer. So, there is a good chance that it was they who defeated Luxbane.
So, that’s everything we currently know about HSR Luxbane after version 4.7. Have more questions? Let us know in the comments section below.
