With her unique ninja-inspired rapper persona, she’s bound to bring some fresh energy to my squad.


A sneak peek of the video for Honkai: Star Rail has showcased the harmonious interaction between the upcoming character Rappa and other favorite characters like Ruan Mei and Gallagher. In the turn-based gameplay of Honkai: Star Rail, players can field up to four distinct characters in their team setup.

To boost their party’s ability to inflict damage, Trailblazers typically arrange their teams in such a way that each character has a distinct role and works harmoniously with the rest of the group. Recently, players have been pondering how the upcoming five-star character Rappa will align with their current team arrangements.

In the upcoming Version 2.6 of Honkai: Star Rail, it’s been confirmed that Rappa, a fresh Imaginary character, will join the playable roster. This ninja girl hails from Penacony, or the Planet of Festivities, but her approach to ninjutsu is unique – she uses comics, rap, and graffiti instead of traditional techniques. Rappa is also a part of the Galaxy Rangers, a group dedicated to tracking down the malicious Ninja Osaru. A recent post on the Honkai: Star Rail Leaks subreddit offers insights into how Rappa functions when teamed with Ruan Mei and Gallagher.

Honkai: Star Rail: Is Rappa an S-tier Character?

Given her dedication to the Scholar’s Way, players might find Rappa to be a potent multi-target DPS character in Honkai: Star Rail. The video corroborates earlier rumors that Rappa’s abilities primarily focus on Break damage. Although some fans admire the aesthetics of Honkai: Star Rail’s five-star character, others argue that her kit seems somewhat lackluster and she may not rank as an S-tier unit. Many remarks indicate a preference for other characters from the roster who can fulfill similar roles.

Some comments have pointed out that the new video leak shows HoYoverse has managed to resolve some of Rappa’s issues related to Energy regeneration. Another significant issue with Rappa is that she is not as effective against Honkai: Star Rail enemies that don’t have Imaginary Weakness. Swapping Rappa in this team with Firefly would yield a similar result, with the main difference being that Firefly does not depend on enemies’ weaknesses.

Keep in mind that the release date for Rappa is at least three weeks from now, giving HoYoverse ample time to fine-tune and enhance the performance of the Erudition character in Honkai: Star Rail. The debut of Rappa is anticipated on the initial limited banner of Version 2.6, scheduled for approximately October 22.
