Honkai Star Rail Fugue gameplay leaks stun fans with “beautiful” ability animations

As a long-time fan of Honkai: Star Rail and someone who’s been through countless updates and character releases, I must say that Fugue has truly stolen my heart (and attention span) with her upcoming 2.7 release! The recent gameplay leak showcasing her abilities and animations was nothing short of breathtaking. The visuals are stunning, the animations are fluid, and the references to Japanese folklore just add an extra layer of intrigue that I can’t get enough of.


In Honkai Star Rail, Fugue is one of the eagerly awaited character launches that has recently sent fans into a frenzy due to a fresh gameplay sneak peek.

Posting on the official Honkai Star Rail leaks Reddit page, one user uploaded a two-minute clip of Fugue gameplay. The video showcases the Foxian in all her glory, giving fans a detailed look at Fugue’s abilities and animations ahead of her 2.7 release. 

In the video, I was privileged to witness Fugue’s fundamental attack, skill, and ultimate – each of which fans have admiringly referred to as “breathtaking”. The animations, in particular, left me spellbound, with many within the community expressing their awe and appreciation for the HoYoverse developers’ exceptional craftsmanship.

One gamer commented that Fugue’s ultimate might be the most beautiful one in the game. However, it’s tough to surpass Acheron, but they’re definitely a close second. The ult in question involves Fugue gracefully using her fire-infused fan for a dance-like routine, then jumping into the air and strengthening her nine-tails.

These fiery extensions emit power and give her an incredibly strong appearance, and this impression is even more emphasized by her recent redesign. In contrast to Tingyun, Fugue has nine tails, symbolizing the Japanese mythological creature known as a kitsune – foxes believed to have supernatural abilities.

A kitsune with more tails indicates its age, wisdom, and strength are greater. Beyond the allure of Japanese mythology, it’s the intricate aspects of its design that captivate fans.

As a gamer, I couldn’t help but admire her beauty. Her unique outfit caught my eye, and the subtle nods to Buddhism and reincarnation in her character design were spot on. Ruan Mei certainly has an excellent sense of style.

Other players also pointed out Fugue’s inactive animations, with one user remarking that these movements appear to be a nod towards the character Tingyun. “Wow, her idle poses are a tribute to her 4-star ultimate animation… just as stunning as the day I lost you, Tingyun…

HoYoverse hasn’t disclosed specific information about Fugue’s skills and her part in the 2.7 narrative as of now, but regardless, she’s left a significant mark on the Honkai: Star Rail fanbase with her fiery presence.
